Set Aside the Things That So Easily Entangle Us

SET ASIDE THE THINGS THATSO EASILY ENTANGLE US

So do you ever feel like you are an arm’s length from your dreams? Do you ever feel like it is so close you could reach out and touch it? Do you ever think… “If I could just ……………….something…………. and it would be mine”?

Today I feel like I am within arm’s reach of my dreams……..they are at my finger tips, yet I can’t grasp them fully…….

I have come to understand and believe that there is typically one thing that holds us back.

Most of the time we don’t want to deal with it.

Most of the time we resist it

Most of the time we have grown comfortable in our pain.

Most of the time we have accepted that it will not change.

We struggle that changing it is too difficult.

In order for us to live our FULL lives, in order for us to be TRULY successful, in order for us to BE that difference……………we must overcome that one thing. We must set aside the things that so easily entangle us!


There lies our personal journey. There lies our journey through the desert………………there lies the process we must go through to reach the REMARKABILITY FACTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I truly think it doesn’t matter what your “IT” is……………………what matters to you and I is how do I overcome? How do I loosen the grip? How do I get untangled? I think everyone knows what that is……………. very rarely are we not aware of our personal challenges. We know……..we just don’t act!

The key to unlock my chains is DISCIPLINE. For me the question is then what do I have to do to stay disciplined? If I stay disciplined, I stay focused. If I stay focused the journey across the desert is easier.

If I look back over the last 50 years and truly evaluate my life my issues have been with control. What lacked was the discipline to be controlled……….

Being an “all-or-nothing-guy” has its challenges…………I don’t do the middle-of-the-road very well!

Narrow down what holds you back! What are your anchors that hold you down? TV, electronics, alcohol, drugs, sex, shopping, denial, fear of something, relationships?

The first step is knowing what it is. Now you can take it on!

REMARKABILITY LIES IN THE HEART OF US ALL..............................



Two days ago I sat with a young lady who had been a part of a one day program I led on communication. It has been almost a year since we have seen each other. As a result of the training she found her confidence and power! She found her voice! She was a teacher in the school system. She left her position. She believed she could reach more young people. She believed she could make a bigger difference. She found her place to stand...............now she is moving the world. She is now creating all kinds of programs to help young people reach their full potential.


I should not be shocked at this..................I have seen it a 1000 times. It never ceases to amaze me when I hear these stories, yet each time it is a miracle of personal development and innovation! People are yearning for more...............most people think they yearn to GET MORE.................I believe they yearn to GIVE MORE..............to be a part of something bigger than themselves.................to feel like they can make a difference, to feel like they as a human being have value. She inspires me to BE more! She inspires me to do more!



President Obama said it well," We are the change we have been waiting for."



You are the change!



The world waits for your life voice, your gift!



The world yearns and waits for you to be remarkable!



DO YOU DARE TO BE REMAKABLE?


I DARE YOU!

Remarkability!

Remarkable!!

What if we took the time to think about being “remarkable”? Forcing ourselves to look at what we are and imagining what we could be. Not waiting for change, but being the catalyst for change. The philosophy of REMARKABILITY has been ours since day one. Remarkable is believing you are! Remarkability is knowing you are the difference!


Remarkable is action.

Remarkable is doing what others believe is impossible.

Remarkable is sharing your life’s gifts.

Remarkable is letting your life speak!


Remarkable is finding your personal place to stand.

Remarkable is taking that stand.

Remarkable is moving the world.


Letting your life speak is remarkable! You are remarkable!
REMARKABILITY is doing it over and over again!

Do you dare to be remarkable?!

I dare you!
