Yesterday my family and I enjoyed a day out on a friend's boat and we watched the fireworks over Patriot's Point. It was a great time being all together and just being on the water was so relaxing. Most people do New Years Resolutions and by January 4th they no longer exist in their world. I refuse to make resolutions because I never keep them and then I get angry with myself - it's just a bad cycle. I find it's better to evaluate things 1/2 way through the year and then set a plan to reach your goals. This year has been pretty rough with surgery, finances, recovery, etc... I want the 2nd half of the year to be better and in order to make this happen I have to change my mindset. My new favorite quote comes from a class I'm taking called BOLD (Business Objective: A Life by Design). It's a great coaching and training class and my favorite BOLD Law is the following:
"Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change." I love this because it gives me the power to change my perspective. I can be a victim or I can be a hero. I can view myself as poor or see myself as rich. I can walk down the street with my head down or I can boldly walk upright and say Hi to everyone. As part of my assignments I read the following poem and I'll leave it as such:
The Victor
by C.W. Longenecker
If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you are not, you don't.
If you like to win but you think you can't,
It's almost a cincy you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost.
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will.
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are.
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win the prize
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.
