Conversion Time: Our Weaknesses Into Our Strengths

11/13/2016

0 Comments

 
"Try to look at your weakness and convert it into your strength. That's success." — Zig Ziglar

There’s not a day that goes by where one of my may weaknesses taps me on the shoulder to lets me know that they are still around.  Heck, every day they really don’t have to let me know, I know they are there.  I know we all have weaknesses and I think many of us know & admit plenty of them that we have in our lives, but how many of us are willing to do anything about them?

Zig reminds us that we should be conscious of them and look to improve them.  Since there are so many of them that some of us have (like me), I guess it’s something of a challenge to turn these into strengths.  The way I look at it, I can become an even better and stronger person when first admitting to my weaknesses and then choosing to improve upon them to become better.
As I am sitting here at our kitchen table with the cold 35-degree morning outside; the sunshine is pouring in on me and our dog (who is sitting here with me too just looking outside) and I am warmed by the sun, my coffee and this whole concept that Zig’s talking about and it puts a smile on my face.   Why a smile you ask?  I have so many areas in my life to get better at, that’s why. 

First, it’s an incredible challenge I think to first admit that we do indeed have many weaknesses. Second it’s an equally important challenge to want to do something to improve those areas of our lives.  I really kind of chuckle as to all the choices I have to improve and get better.  For me it’s easy to identify the areas of improvement, since there are so many.  Now the crucial part is for me to start the action steps to actually do something about them.

The other important element is the time factor.  None of us have the time that we think we do since it does go by fast and there are really no guarantees as to how much we have.  The time is now for us to take those important action steps.  For me, my son has actually helped in that he has cleaned our basement so that the table down there is now usable.  I can do my school work, work on my blogs, my videos, my podcasts, and other projects that I know that I need to work on. 

Cleaning you say? What’s the big deal?  To me, there have always been so many excuses, plus I get distracted when I go through things most times.  For him to do this, he has eliminated a brick wall for me.  Now I not only need to take the lesson from him (action, do something about the clutter in my life) to clean up plenty of things that I know I have to get rid of and I am willing to part with it too.  This also helps set the stage for me to do the things that I want to do and I didn’t have a place to do them.  A simple act by son, has helped me face some of my weaknesses (procrastination, lack of action & focus, etc.)  It’s time to take advantage of this opportunity.

Now, time to feed our dog his breakfast and take him for his walk on this gorgeous morning.  Then another cup of coffee when I come back which I will take with me down into the basement to get some things done today before we head out to spend some time with my parents.  What weaknesses can you take a look at? Who is there to help you with them or is it up to you to take that first step of action? Either way, look at something today to improve upon and then be willing to do it. As always, look to share this part of your story so you can help others. ​

Success Is Always Ongoing

"Success is the continual unfolding of the design of our life and pulling it off. That’s what success is." - Jim Rohn

This quote struck me as being very accurate and right on target for me and plenty of other people that I know.  We are all on our own journey of life and the decisions and choices we make help to create the path that we are all on.  

Part of that path is obviously the success that we have or don't have throughout our lives.  Since we are the major players in our own life journey, our successes are continuing to unfold or disappear based on our choices.  There is another saying that I use in my classes, especially my Principles of Leadership class in the spring with my seniors and it says - Every choice we make either takes us closer to our dreams and goals or it takes us further away from them.  

As we get older we change.  Heck, we change everyday even if it's just hearing and seeing new things.  Those things get us thinking, feeling, responding, etc., so that each and everyday there are subtle little things that influence our choices and decisions.  I'm reminded about another saying that things that happen to us in life are 10% of the actual thing happening to us and 90% how we respond.  The key item is that we get to choose how we respond to these items.  We get to let them have control over us or not.  This includes the people that come in and out of our lives too.  We have to decide on how much control we give to them about how successful or unsuccessful we will be in our lives.

This is why our road to success is always under construction.  There are so many factors that come into play each and every day of our lives.  The key is to be able to filter through all the distractions and keep moving forward in the direction we want to go in.  Of course it's not easy.  But it is worth it. ​

Changing Ourselves Usually Comes Down To Two Reasons

9/13/2015

0 Comments

 
"We generally change ourselves for one of two reasons: inspiration or desperation." -- Jim Rohn

When I saw this quote I knew it was speaking to me, and hopefully you feel the same now that you have read it.  Change is happening all around us, all the time.  Sometimes we need to make changes too, it just all depends for what reasons and when we do it.

I’ve been working harder to have me change some things more so to inspiration along with things being under my control rather than having it due to desperation and things being out of my control.  I must say though, at times when it’s desperation that is driving me, that’s when things seem to have a stronger impulse to help me change, even though it’s usually a lot more painful.

The more inspiration that I have in my life and not just sit there and read it, memorize it, or put it on a wall; but really take action because of it, that’s when powerful changes can happen.  I really want to do more of that throughout all parts of my life instead of just doing things out of desperation.  If it’s out of desperation, then it seems there are others that feel the pain, not just me.

I will be starting a new endeavor of re-reading my all-time favorite book again, but this time I will be reading it slower, underlining more of the key point that stand out to me and then I’ll be doing something with the information that I pull out of it.  Something for the use in helping share it with others so they too can find some success from the points in the Magic Of Thinking Big!

What are you changing from the most?  Is it out of inspiration? Or is it from desperation?  That’s a great question to ask yourself as we start the week out and the key is to keep asking yourself as I need to do for me.  Then depending on the answers that you get, that will help you decide to seek more inspiration or to start to work on getting rid of the desperation causes going on in your life.  Either way, share some of your thoughts, ideas, questions, etc., with me so that I can learn from you too along with maybe helping you too.

The World Lost A Good Guy - Thoughts From Dr. Wayne Dyer

9/8/2015

0 Comments

 
"Nobody can take your dreams away from you. You can imagine anything you want." -- Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

We lost a great man this past week with the passing of Dr. Wayne Dyer and when I saw this quote it got me thinking as to what many of his messages were all about, especially this one.

First of all I remember listening to a few Wayne Dyer audios along with a number of interviews that either he did or others interviewed him.  One of the many things he would focus on was the above quote and the fact that it was very important to dream in the first place.  He would promote the fact on how powerful our minds really are and that we just have to tap into some of that power in order to make substantial changes in our lives.

With the world being as crazy as it, is the thought as come to me on how vitally important it is for us to indeed dream about things that are close to our heart and those things that are part of our core being and then of course start to do things about putting those things into action.  As I sit here on a Saturday morning along with my cup of coffee of course and get back into somewhat of a normal schedule with school starting in a few days, this thought really has me intrigued about many things.

Another quote I saw this morning before I started writing this was from Brian Tracy and it was about not playing for being safe and how dangerous that is, and that ties into for me, how it’s not doing any good for the world.   By us dreaming, imagining and doing the action steps needed to make those things happen – then we are affecting not only ourselves but everyone around us that we know and even those that we don’t know.  As I sit here contemplating that thought, I do get excited knowing that I have to, it’s more that I MUST get going on making my dreams and goals a reality.  That thought alone has been with me for a large portion of my life so as they say, lesson repeated until lesson learned.

With school starting again, what better way for this teacher and coach to get back to “school” where I need to make some changes, continue to make some things happen for me and my family along with others that are around me too.  In fact part of it for me is to connect more with those people around me that mean something to me.  My good friend Don, yes… coach Don that I coach with, just texted me about going out for breakfast.  He like me, is an early riser which is a good thing.  He is one of my good friends that I need to do more with, help him more with his dreams and goals (which we do indeed talk about), and along with this comes him helping me too.

So as the calendar is now into September and there seems to be more of a “normal” schedule for most people with school starting and all, I wonder what are a few things that you can start working on that connects to your dreams and goals?  The power of our minds that Dr. Dyer spent his life researching and sharing that information to help others, check some of his work out.  Listen to him and read a few of his books and then look to do a few things that will help you with your dreams and goals.  You will be benefiting not only yourself, but also you will make a difference for others too.  What a great focus point to start off the school year with. Don’t you think?

We Just Have To Give Ourselves A Chance!

8/25/2015

"You can make startling changes you can’t even conceive of right now, if you just give yourself half a chance." -- Jim Rohn

As I was looking through some quote ideas another one from the great Jim Rohn jumped out at me.  I think so many times in our lives, if we give ourselves a chance to do great things, we will indeed do just that.

You know, before we are able to do really do anything in life we have to tell ourselves to do it.  Just getting up on time in the morning, making breakfast, filling the car up with gas, taking a shower, etc.  Now with other things, it’s a lot more difficult than simply telling ourselves to do it.  We have to convince ourselves for the really important and life changing things that we need to do.  Those items such as going after your dreams and goals, stepping up to push yourself to get rid of bad habits and replace them with good ones, to reach out to help others that maybe not too many others are willing to help out, along with looking to make a difference with others throughout your lifetime.

It’s about being continually inspired throughout life.  We need to have those inspirational reminders just about on a daily basis I think.  Those stories that we can relate to that helps us believe that we too can do great things.  To get us to understand that we don’t have to settle.   We simply need to give ourselves a chance, an opportunity to do them.  Jim Rohn went onto say “The real value in setting goals is not in their achievement. The acquisition of the things you want is strictly secondary. The major reason for setting goals is to compel you to become the person it takes to achieve them.”

When we look back on the great moments in our lives, they usually come from overcoming difficulties, maybe a long time in working hard and then something wonderful happens along with the fact that we can look back at all the great people that came into our lives along with the new things we learned during that time period.  It’s also a time to see the people that aren’t in our lives anymore.  Our journey throughout life takes us into different directions that others won’t follow us through.  They have their own journeys to go on and even though it’s sad to lose friends, it’s necessary for us to become who we want to and need to become.

Part of this equation is to figure it out sooner than later as some of our many journeys through life take time.  The sooner we realize this, the more things we can go through to get us to become the person we want to be.  Another key, maybe even a more important one is to realize that it’s never too late to start on any of these possible journeys.  You know, I’ve been learning a lot lately and much of it is dealing with the person that I know I need to become in order for things to happen.  Much of it are things that I’d rather not face, not talk about, and not have to go through.  I know I need to go through them and face them in order for things to get better for me but more importantly for those that are around me.  My wife and kids, my other family members, my students, my basketball players, fellow teachers, coaches, friends and neighbors along with the countless people that I haven’t even met yet.  I’ve been playing small most of my life.  That time has to end, and end now.  What are some of the things you need to give yourself permission to do?  Just give yourself a chance, something little, just one thing.  Then just look for those little things each and every day that can help you.  When you find them, please let me know and others too, since I know that we are all looking for those little things to help us in our journeys through life.

Time Is The Most Valuable Item We Have

8/21/2015

"Time properly invested is worth a fortune; time wasted can be devastation." Jim Rohn

As I sit here at the car dealership on a Monday morning waiting for service to be done on my car, this was the first quote that I saw.  Of course, as usual, I sure needed to see it.  Truth be told, I have struggled with this concept for most of my life.   Without seeing this quote, I know that I have to deal with this.  After seeing this quote, I know I have to ramp it up as I know I've not been making this the priority that it needs to be.

Too many examples about how fast time is going by that make this point even more powerful and necessary for me to take on.  Another key is that I know you also have too many examples, some that you have already thought of as you saw this quote.  The question is what are we going to do about it?

For me the pain of staying the same is hurting more than the pain of me changing, and that fact is not only pushing me to tears at times, but it is becoming more necessary than ever before.  The examples in my life about how fast time is flying by, these have a huge part to do with it.  I'm sure it is the same with yours too.  Another factor in the pain meter for me is how many people in my life that are also hurting that I could maybe help out a little if I start making the changes I need to make.  Between my wife and kids, to other family members, my students, my fellow teachers, my basketball players and coaches I work with, other friends, the list goes on and on and on.

This also hammers home the point about how time seems to become more valuable as you get older.  Really time should be viewed as being very valuable at any age.  It’s the one factor of life that is truly the most valuable commodity that we have.  Some say it’s money, but we can always make more money, cut expenses, etc., but we can’t manufacture more time.  Our 24 hour days are the same for each of us, even for the richest person in the world, it’s just they use their time a little bit differently than the rest of us.

As I finish this up late this week, this is one of many focus points that I need to take more time to work on… get it??  There have been a few distractions that went on this week where I was unable to even sit down to finish up my blog, but it’s all good as those things that came up were things that matter to me as they dealt with my wife and kids and the things we had to get done.  So to me, that was time well spent.  So, take a few minutes to think about what you are spending your time on?

Change Is Mandatory In Life - Change Happens No Matter What.

6/1/2015

“Unless you change how you are, you'll always have what you've got.” – Jim Rohn

Lot’s happening these past few days.  We had graduation at Lake Shore High School for the Class of 2015 and I was blessed enough to be asked to deliver the commencement address. It was such a humbling and fabulous experience.  I want to make sure the Class of 2015 knows how much I appreciate them having me share their special day with them.

This thought by the great Jim Rohn above is one of the things I am focusing on in my life right now and that is I’m looking to change for the better.  I need to continue on this journey of getting out of my comfort zone.  I need to keep working hard to learn new skills and to play bigger in my life.  Getting out in front of over 2000 people to give that speech on Saturday at gradation was a big step for me.  I am totally comfortable in a classroom in front of 30 teenagers, but Saturday was such a rush!  It was a great feeling to look around and see all of those people.  I practiced that speech many times with the vision of being at that podium, on that stage, in the gym along with all of those people in the crowd.  I had to change and expand my comfort zone in my mind before I did it for real.

I think about this quote and I know if I stay where I’m at and not change, not only will I not go any farther in my life, but also I will begin to lose things that I currently have.  I would not meet new people along with not learning new skills.  The people that I currently know would be slowly start going places and I would be staying behind.  The skills that I would possess already would slowly get rusty by me not improving them.  My current relationships with those that I love and care about would also suffer and slowly start disappearing with me staying the same, not wanting to do new things, invest in the relationships any more, all of those would really suffer.  This game of life is constant in change.  From the weather, to economics, to the stock market, to the sports teams, to us simply getting older, and the list goes on and on.

 I’ve used this example with all my students over the years.  I have yet to find a student who comes into my classes letting me and everyone know they want to get worse in life.    They have all wanted to at least get by and get through high school.  Plus, we all have to realize that it takes time to realize we need to change along with it taking up our entire lives to keep working at changing for the better.  Change is definitely an inside job that takes a lifetime to work on and do.

There is also an old saying about when we look at all the things we want to change, the list looks overwhelming.  But if we can just focus a little at a time, just 1% improvement a day, in any of the areas we need to work on – the difference after a month will be incredible.   How about 6 months?  How about after a year of just improving 1% a day?  Just let that one sink in there a little bit.  Any thoughts?

Change Your Life Today - Don't Put It Off

5/25/2015

"Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay." – Simone de Beauvoir

As I got up this morning and the sun was coming into our home, I got to thinking about a few things.  Of course most of this thinking started up with my first cup of coffee which always helps.  I looked around at our kitchen which has changed recently.  After almost 18 years in our home, my wife decided it was indeed time for a change.   It all started when Don, a good friend of mine came over to visit me after my back surgery.  He and my wife started talking about our kitchen and how he had started remodeling his with new counter tops.  Well that got my wife off and running with the same idea for our house.

Well fast forward to 7 months later and our home  has a totally different feel to it.  The kitchen wall paper is gone (with my wife doing it all her self – that was a HUGE job) and now not only do we have new counter tops, but also a brand new deep-pumpkin type of color in our kitchen.  The warmth and positive vibes I get from it are amazing as the colors bring out everything in the kitchen, but also the rest of our house as well.

This has not stopped in side.  Our patio has a small makeover too.  My wife moved the patio table to the other side, and set up more of a sitting area on the side where the table was at originally.  We had an old love-seat that swings a little bit that she re-painted and found some new cushions for it along with 2 of our other chairs, and BAM – a whole new look outside too.

Now these are all physical changes to our home – but the results have an amazing affect on us and our family.  It has helped me to get a new perspective on things along with helping my wife to have a new outlook and re-energized perspective on our lives here in our home. Seeing my wife excited and have purpose is amazingly connecting for me to her.   I see these things that she is doing and this connects to her.  It is connecting with her inner-peace to have a relaxing, warm and loving home to spend time in and this transfers to all other aspects of our lives.  It’s also very cool to have this connect with today being our 25th wedding anniversary too.

This coincides with a theme that has been in my heart as of late and that is to get engaged in my life.  To stop putting things off and keep looking to change and get better by stepping out of my comfort zone.  For also me knowing that I need to keep investing in my wife, my marriage, my family, my friends, my interests and joys in life that have to do with teaching and helping others;  along with more investments in my future which connects with all of these items.

You see, our lives change every day.  So why not get on the “change train” and start steering it where we want it to go.  Yes our lives do change every day as we get older, other people’s choices and decisions affect us, the weather changes, the world and the events going on affect us – but the key is we get the choice on how it affects us along with the choice on how we want to change ourselves and the world we live in.  My choices affect my family, friends, students, the places that I work at, and most of all myself.  Those choices of mine also affect the future of all these areas too.  So, please realize the same is happening for you as well.  It starts today, for today is all that we have right now.  What is one small thing to do today that will help you change?

Failures Are Not Fatal, Unless We Fail To Change - Quote Of The Week!

3/15/2015

0 Comments

“Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.”  John Wooden

It seems this thought, like many others, have been hovering around me in many different ways over the last few months.  Looking back it probably started while I was home recovering and I had a little more time to do some thinking along with having time to notice a few things more than I normally get the opportunity to do.

There have been many failures in my life and I have finally begun to look at them with more of a studying type of look and learning from it, instead of being a victim or blaming others.   I’ve had glimpses of this better type of thinking throughout my life, now it just seems to be happening more frequently as I get older. 

I’m noticing things changing a lot more too.  With both of our kids off at college, there is more time for my wife and I to do things together along with time to do things ourselves too.  Both of our parents are getting older and all the issues that seem to come with age are starting to happen with it too.  Speaking of age, my wife and I are getting older too of course.  There are things that we have to make changes in so many areas of our lives right now.

That goes for all of us.   No matter what age we are at, learning from failures that happen (and they happen a lot in life), are necessary for success.  The idea of not changing when times dictate that we need to do that, those can be disastrous.   

I look around and I see plenty of people that refuse to change.  They wear it as a badge of courage for not changing.  They either think they know everything and they don’t have to change.  Some think they need to show how tough they are and that they can do things on their own without any help from others.  This might be the most fatal failure of all – where people don’t think they have to change.  I think if you’re not changing, you are actually on your way to getting worse.  That’s one thing I don’t ever want to do – I’m looking to always get better.  How about you?

Making Changes Can Be Difficult - Quote Of The Week

11/24/2014

0 Comments

 
"Making changes can be difficult, but less difficult than repeating the same old story." – LoraneGordon

As we get ready to finish up our fall term at school, this got me thinking about how different things are now for our seniors compared to when our term started back in early September.  Things have changed for everyone of them, that’s for sure.  But how many of our seniors can say they had a say in all those changes that happened to them?  Most of the time none of us can say that we had control over every single change that has happened to us over a period of time; that’s not how life works.

It is very important that we look at those things we do have control over and always look to control those things.  So much of life is out of control, yet it affects us in different and sometimes may ways.  It’s all about adjusting things in our life so that need to major on the majors.  This long-term saying that still holds true today.  There are important things in our lives that we need to focus on and that we have actual control over.  There are many more minor things in life that we don’t need to focus on since they are not really that important.

When it comes time to make changes in our lives, they should be focused on those things that help us go where we want to go in life.  Change can certainly be scary as most humans enjoy being in their comfort zone and not have to venture too far from that zone too often.  If we look at the pain of change and when that pain is less than if we stay the same, then it becomes easier to change.  If we keep repeating the same things that give us results that we don’t like; then it’s fur sure a time to change.

I’m wondering if any of our seniors are doing that as their high school years are quickly coming to an end.  Are there changes that they have to make that will make things easier for them in the long run? Or are those changes too scary to even attempt?  Our seniors are not the only ones that need to look at this – we all need to do this.  The important thing to realize is the younger we start making necessary changes in our lives, the less difficult they will be. 

I saw something else that fits with this – we will never be younger than we are today.  The longer we wait, the harder those changes will be to make.  I should know, I’ve put things off far too long in my life and I’m working on changing that right now.  Our seniors are so far ahead of my pace.  Good for them.
