Check Your Compass Today

Follow-up Friday is the alarm clock that wakes you up each week and calls you to be accountable for your life. You are given an infinite amount of time each week, and it is up to you to decide how to spend it. Knowing what you want out of life and why is like having a compass that will keep you on the right path. Step back today and review the choices you’ve made this week. Do they support your goals and priorities? If not, you are literally giving your dreams away. Life unfolds one day at a time based on the choices you’ve already made about how to spend your time. You really do chart your own course so stay awake at the wheel this week and use your compass.

Honoring our Heroes

"How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes! " ~Maya Angelou

As we honor our fallen heroes today, let's not forget our heroes still standing. Reach out to someone today and let them know they make a difference.

Clarity and Consistency is Key

Follow-up sounds simple but is something that most people fail to do. We spend a lot of time and money exploring new ideas and systems to keep us motivated and focused but fail to put what we've learned into practice. Consistent action is more important than the particular system itself and is the key to living the life you want. And it is easy to do once you have direction.

Your to-do list reflects the actions you've committed to. Take a step back from your to-do list and see how it fits into the bigger picture of your life. If you consistently take these actions will you get to where you want to go? Do you know where you want to go? If you have been consistently playing the Follow-Up Friday Game, you will have a list of priorities handy right now. So do you? Can you name your top three priorities? If not, your to-do list may very well be wearing you down.

Your to-do list is like a machine that runs 24/7. It never shuts down. It is you who must take control of your endless list and mold it into actions that move you in the direction you want to go. Stay focused on what you need to do this week to make your life work REALLY well. And remember, you belong on the very top of your to-do list.

Make it a Magical Monday!

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." ~Harold Whitman

Do you know what makes you come alive? What makes you smile? What causes you to break out into a hearty belly laugh? What makes you giggle? What moves you to tears? Take some time to explore this question today and enjoy the magic!

Have a Magical Monday

"In the absence of clearly-defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it." -Robert Heinlein

What do you plan to accomplish this week? Write it down. Most people say they have goals but few take the time to define what they want and commit it to paper. We set some goals with our head, and they are designed to help us keep our lives running smoothly. Others we set with our heart, and they are designed to bring more joy and playfulness into our lives. Set both and enjoy the magic!

You Can't Please Everyone

"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." -Bill Cosby

Get clear about what you want to accomplish this week and make it a priority. The results will seem magical!

Wishing you a Magical Monday.
