The last month has been amazing, I feel like I did in my twenties…anything is possible!
Fighting back was the smartest thing I’ve ever done. Making the decision to fight back was the best idea I’ve ever had!
There is a power in decision-making, in making a conscious and irrevocable decision to alter the path of your life, to take a new direction and allow nothing and no one to stand in your way.
The feeling of power and the contagious effect is absolutely awesome!
With each new day the sense of what is possible heightens, the reality of the possible increases exponentially.
As you are no doubt aware, I think a lot of Tony Robbins’ work and his notion of CANI!
The idea of constant and never ending improvement!
CANI!
Constant and never ending improvement will lead to something amazing, a life unlike anything you can possibly imagine when you take the first tentative steps towards something new…into the unknown.
This is not to say the path you set out on is unknown, you should have a plan. However, you can’t possibly imagine the incredibly powerful effect, or the results, of such a decision. Even Tony Robbins makes note of this in Power Talk! The place he is now at is a place he could never have dreamed of when he started on his journey…it is indeed incomprehensible.
As I begin my new life, the same sense of the possible is contagious and the degree of success, in the immediate sense, is almost overwhelming…almost!
The key is to make the decision, to never hold back, to go boldly forward….
OK! I’m sounding like Captain Kirk!
Anyway! Make the decision, take the first steps, and you will never be sorry…you will never look back!
Have an awesome life…beginning today!

Life is funny…as in peculiar, perplexing, uncertain, difficult, a conundrum. And yes, sometimes life is also funny, as in ha-ha, amusing, and downright hysterical! Very often, it is somewhere in between.
Success in life, on the other hand, is elusive, perplexing, rewarding, frustrating, and amazing. In other words, success is the ultimate paradox, disconcerting and awesome, often all in the same moment, at times in the same breath.
Success is elusive because most people don’t understand what success is, perplexing because they are chasing something they think will define success, without actually understanding that success is nothing close to what they envisioned or imagined.
Success is rewarding because, when it comes, and regardless of how fleeting it may be, it validates our efforts and is one of the most amazing experiences we can have as human beings…providing we recognize it along the way!
Success is a paradox because it is often accompanied by incredible heartbreak, even failure; and, it tests our mettle in ways we never imagined, in the fires of life.
While exploring the rain forests of Central America we used to say Heaven and Hell were one in the same, around every bend, in every experience, in each and every moment.
The reason for this?
We had to endure incredible hardship on our way to amazing experiences. We had to endure incredible physical trials in order to get to pristine locations, places where few people had been for hundreds of years, untouched and unspoiled by humans. We had to endure bugs that would literally turn any exposed skin into sores, sores that, if scratched, increased in discomfort exponentially, all the while taking in some of the most incredible experiences of our lives. We had to endure intense heat and humidity, enough to stagger many in our party, only to jump into a river, clothes and all, a river so clean you can drink from it without fear of any of one hundred possible diseases or infestations. Imagine snakes and tarantulas along side of the most amazing lightening bugs imaginable, as big as silver dollars lighting up the sky. Imagine one hundred different tests each and every day while experiencing the time of your life, in each and every moment!
Life is like that!
Success is like that!
We often hear people say that life is a process, a progression, but deep down inside many still assign success to things instead of to experiences. Success, like life, is experiential!
Why is success experiential? Because it is a process!
That’s why people say it is a progression. Success is very much like life, in that as we progress through it we can either live one year 30 times or we can live 30 years.
Life, like success, is a process, a learning opportunity we are not meant to survive…but it can be amazing along the way. The end result is the same! It is up to each of us how we progress, how we experience the tests along the way.
I often mention Tony Robbins when I talk about success because I have been listening to Tony and people like him for decades. Napoleon Hill, then Earl Nightingale, Zig Ziglar, J Douglas Edwards, Wayne Dyer, and others all have the same message, enunciated in different ways…but there is a common theme.
The theme?
Build one day upon the one before!
*Whether as a template for a lifetime, as Napoleon Hill suggests.
*As a 30 day all out quest, repeated again and again, as Earl Nightingale challenges us to do.
*Or as CANI! Constant and never ending improvement! as Tony Robbins suggests.
The result is the same, an incremental approach to life. The method is similar, using forward motion, baby steps to build something amazing!
Baby steps?
What About Bob? is one of my all-time favorite movies and does the whole baby steps thing in such a great way! Take the time, Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfus at their best!
While we are on the subject of movies, and Bill Murray, watch Groundhog Day! Talk about a message cloaked in comedy! Do it over until you get it right, can you imagine? Can you imagine being given the chance to live every day until you get it just right?
You do!
You are!
Each and every day is a major do-over!
We have two choices, we can go on into the next day, week, month, year, decade in the same way as the one before…or we can have a do-over. Because every day we live is in essence a chance to reshoot the day before, to get it right…Groundhog Day!
If you haven’t watched those two movies, do so! They will not only make you laugh until you cry, therapy in and of itself, but you will learn something about life and do-overs! We all get them each and every day…it is all about perspective and about living each moment and building upon the one before, learning from our successes and our failures on the way to CANI!
Constant and Never Ending Improvement!
Well, enough for now! The video below will help you get a sense for the mindset I have been developing over a lifetime. I thought I might share a little of it.
Remember! Build, remember, and make it better each and every day. Your life will be amazing and success will be a done deal!
