Morning Motivator - Today's Choice

"When I have the choice between two evils, I always pick the one I haven't tried before."
-Mae West

Last night, in my opinion, was one of the most POWERFUL meetings I have ever been to in the Junior Chamber.

A good friend and mentor, Micheal Burt of Maximum Success, led our group in a discussion on FINDING YOUR VOICE. The idea that there is MORE to your happiness than a fulfillment of your financial needs in a job. The discussion is based on the premise of 4 core strengths that FEED a person's inner soul - Mind, Body, Heart and Spirit.

The MIND is your knowledge base and the APPLICATION of your mental skills towards a vocation. It is your DESIRE to LEARN and grow in your mental capacity. This is what is primarily fed in our society through schooling and standardized testing.

The BODY is your skill set and abilities to execute in the physical world. This is a COLLECTION of your speaking skills, problem solving, sales ability, etc... These are the things you do to put food on the table. You must grow your skills and physical abilities to grow and succeed.

The HEART is your passion and DESIRE to accomplish in a chosen path. This is commonly where people STRUGGLE in their careers if they are ones that feel lost. You don't seem to LOVE what you do or fully BUY INTO the overall goals of the group. Sometimes, you do not even know WHAT the goals and purpose are. You must DRIVE your passions to find your personal success.

Lastly, SPIRIT is a your SELF BELIEF. A combination of your internal self thought and the external triggers of others reactions to your execution creates a persona of your CONFIDENCE. Your ability to BELIEVE you can amass all the great victories you seek in life is one of the most POWERFUL and often most lacking areas in ones life.

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
So what can you do to achieve SUCCESS in your life? ANALYZE the above 4 areas of excellence. How many are you excelling in? How many do you feel COMPLETE and ENRICHED in?

You have the CHOICE today to seek out the solutions to the lacking areas in your life. You ARE in control of your next steps and thus the results of tomorrow.

If the MIND is where you are lacking - seek education. Every day you should learn something and be able to better assess future situations, whether from someone you speak with or by the books you ARE reading. (yes, you may have to read again)

If the BODY is where you are found wanting - seek ways enhance your skills. Perform EXERCISES whether they are for fitness or for professional execution, such as sales training or public speaking. Seek out the people that are masters of the skills you need and ask where you can ACHIEVE the same.

If it is HEART - you must learn to follow your PASSIONS. No one can tell you what you love or desire... you just have to learn to trust it and chase it.

Finally, if it is SPIRIT that you need - find a mentor. Someone that can help you see the GREATNESS in yourself and push you to grow beyond your personal limitations. Once you have someone pushing you to be BETTER every day, you will find that the only limitations in your life are the self imposed barriers you have established.

Cheers,
Zach
