The best way to have what you want; is to want what you have.
Why are we always looking for something better, faster, or bigger than what we already have? Isn't that what has got us in this huge financial mess? I am certainly no economist but I would say that is definitely one of the main contributing factors. In fact, I would go out on a huge limb and say that as a society, we are so consumed with what we want next that we ignore or simply forget all the magnificence that surrounds us.
Want what you have…that's quite the interesting concept. If you do not want what you have, take action to change it while appreciating all that is around you. Be grateful for all that you do have. There are millions of people that would simply love to live with a roof over their head.
I also think this quote also relates to the non-material aspect of life as well…relationships, partners, our own self-esteem.
There is nothing wrong with striving for greatness in life. I love that in America if you can dream it, it can happen. It is only when we start living with the narrow focus on “things” or what we want next, that we forget how fortunate we really are.

5 Tips That Will Have You Sizzling!
Summer is in full effect and all of us want to look and feel our best. Here are 5 tips that will have you sizzling (without the sunburn!)
1. Protect yourself. We all love a golden tan but nothing will show your age like too much sun. Make sure to wear a minimum SPF 30 on your face, like Dermalogica Super Sensitive Face Block SPF 30 and at least SPF 15 on your body and reapply ever couple hours. Better yet, wear a hat or use a great tanning gel, no one will know the difference.
2. Take your workouts outside. Work out your body and soul by changing up your gym routine and take to cross training at the beach or going for a hike. You will love the fresh air and your body will love the change of routine. Give it a couple weeks and you will see some major changes in your body and your spirit!
3. Keep the black at bay. I know it is tempting to pull out that little black dress but dare to sparkle by heading out in color. Guys, this is for you too! Light, bright colors not only make you feel good, they draw others to you as well. You will be the life of wherever you go.
4. All in moderation. With all the summer BBQ’s and travel plans it is easy to start packing on unwanted pounds. Contrary to all the “fad diets” out there, there is nothing you cannot have while getting leaner too. The key…you guessed it, moderation. Too much of anything will have you carrying around unwanted weight, even fruit! Keep alcohol to a minimum whenever possible, drinking too much will add a lot of empty calories to your bottom line. It is also very important to drink a lot of water! With the hot weather a lot of people get bloated and therefore do not drink water because they think it will add to it. While what is really happening is your body is dehydrated and therefore is holding onto water in case it does not get anymore. So drinking water will actually flush you out and will keep you and your stomach looking lean. ☺
5. Laugh often! Sounds easy enough but when was the last time you had a great belly laugh? You know…when your cheeks actually hurt from laughing or smiling so long. Laughing is a proven stress reducer and can lift your spirit in a second’s time. If you constantly find yourself around the same dull people, venture out and meet some new people that share your humor and interest. Nothing looks better on anyone than a smile!

Four Key Steps To Achieving YOUR Success!
We all know there is no magic pill for success; it takes a lot of hard work. We all have unique gifts and passions that make us shine. I believe when we focus on those gifts and use them to help others as well as ourselves, everything in the universe applauds us. Here are the four key steps to get you well on your way.
1. You must DECIDE what is it that you want to achieve. It is absolutely crucial that you have a very clear understanding of what it is you want to accomplish. Saying “I want to make more money” is great but how and by when? How much more? An ambiguous goal is often one that loses steam quickly and therefore does not get achieved. Be as specific as possible.
2.You have to DEVELOP whatever skill sets are needed to achieve the decided upon goal. What is your star power? What uniqueness do you have that draws people to you or your product? This is SO important! You have to know and appreciate what makes you different. Be confident and kind. It is important to figure out who, what, when, where and how of bringing your goal to life. If 1% make it BIG what is it that makes that 1% shine?
If your goal was to “make more money” you need to ask yourself:
What do I need to do differently?
What other skills do I need to learn?
What is my plan of action?
How can I attract more wealth into my life?
What beliefs am I holding onto from the past, that are keeping me from my future?
Who can help me? Who do you know that is making more money?
In the book “The Outliers” Malcolm Gladwell discusses the 10,000 rule. This rule states that in order to reach the highest level of success in a certain field, you must commit about 10,000 to that goal. Are you up for it?
3. Get ready to DELIVER! Come up with a strategy to launch you and or your product. If you want to “make more money” in your business but you and/or your product to deliver that message it is unlikely to happen. What does your non-verbal say when you walk into a room? Your posture, clothing, and vocal tone speak loader than any words you could say so it is very important the message it clear. You are a success!!
Once you put up the sail the wind will take you but the boat won’t move until you do. ☺
3.Be DEDICATED! I cannot tell you how many times I talk to people who have a specific goal in their life and a few months later they are in the exact same place. Without LEVEL 5 commitment (Be and do whatever it takes) few will ever see all the success that is waiting for them. Success does not happen overnight and it takes a lot of drive and determination. Most people make it in “Hollywood” not because they are the most talented, but because they did not give up!
Acquire the mindset of a champion. If you fall, get back up. When you’re tired push yourself a little further…when the going gets tough, find joy that you are on your way!
Mindset of a Champion:
• Fierce dedication to your goals
• Driven beyond the norm
• Persistent and Resilient
• Dare to be different- take Risks!
• Be willing to learn from your mistakes and others
• Be Joyful!
The Four Key Steps to YOUR Success are Decide, Develop, Deliver and Dedicate. Good luck!
