As this new year approaches, I am sure their are a million different things I can write about. The idea would be to give you value and ideas to help you jumpstart 2010 in the right direction. But I am not going to do that.

To keep adding value without one taken action is a lost cause. It amazes me time and time again to listen to everyone this time of the year.

"Oh this is my year, this year is going to be so different for me."

This one is my favorite:

“I can't wait for 2009 to be over with, what a horrible year it was.”

Question is, why was it a horrible year?

• Did you not accomplish what you wanted to?
  
• Did you do anything different to make changes in your life?
  
• Did you learn something new and useful?
  
• Did you challenge yourself, to stretch and grow and it was hard?
  
• Was money tight?
  

Those questions are questions people ask when they react to the challenges in their life. So easy to blame the year, which leads to blaming your boss, blaming your job, blaming the current president, blaming your life away like you have no chance to make a difference.

Why will 2010 be any different if you start it the same way you finished 2009?

When are you going to wake up people?

The reality is this; most of you would spend $700 dollars on a brand new HDTV before you would on a seminar that could expand your view of this world and help give you the tools to forge ahead and drive through some of those challenges. So now you can numb the pain of not living the life that you deserve by drowning your feelings in watching other people face the world challenges. Why are shows like the biggest loser so popular? Because most of us would rather watch someone else face those difficult challenges than face them ourselves. Where you can be at this time next year is a lifetime from where you are now if you do something about it. Don't just say you are going to lose weight, get a trainer. Don't just say I want learn a new skill and research it online, find someone who is doing it and join their class. Don't just say I want to hold myself to a higher standard, go get a coach to take you to the next level.

The moral here is this: you must be proactive in life. If you want change you must embody it, and the way to do that is not by saying it. YOU MUST TAKE ACTION!

You can not play the game of life sitting on the bench, you have to get in the game. You don't want to wake up one day and realize that there is only 2 minutes left in the game of life and your time is running out, then it is to late. Take care god bless and Happy New Year to you all.

What is a gremlin?


For some of us, we might think back to the movies some 25 years ago that showed us these love able fury creatures. Then, midway through the movie these love able creatures turned out to be our worst nightmare. At the time, I never connected the dots on the meaning of that movie until 20 years later when in a training session. In that session, the instructor talked about not listening to those gremlins on your shoulder.

Now of course, my only reference point at the time was that movie, so that was the image burning in my mind. I thought what does he mean by that? I need to understand what he meant. So as the discussion continued, he elaborated on the gremlins.

His definition was that those gremlins on your shoulder were fears, doubt and worry.

My first thought was that this guy is wild. Is he trying to say I hear voices? No way, I am not crazy. I don't have gremlins this does not make sense to me.

All too often, and at so many different times in our lives, we block out the learning so we can make ourselves feel better. We never want to think we are like others or that someone may know us better then we know ourselves. So what do we do? We bash it, ignore it, and make fun of it.

We do anything we can not to step back and take a good hard look at it. You see, we all have those so-called gremlins. Maybe for you they are called something different. Or, maybe -- like I did when I first heard the idea – you are thinking I am crazy? Maybe, but as always, test it out. Answer the next few questions as honestly as possible.

* When alone faced with a huge, difficult decision, do you every talk it over out loud?
* When lying in bed at night, right before you fall asleep, ever start to think maybe you should’ve done things different in my life.
* When it gets so hard and things feel like they will never get back on track, do you feel that pit in your stomach telling you to quit?

The list can go on and on and on. Whether it is a gremlin or whatever you want to call it, we all have it. I have fought mine as much -- if not more than -- all of you, every single day of my life. You see what I learned and can share with you now is that we need that gremlin. We need it to help us navigate through this wild and crazy ride of life. Imagine a life with no fear, worry or doubt. Now, some of you may be cheering that idea, but how could we have our greatest achievements in life if we haven’t faced our fear and still went for it?

The gremlin's purpose is all to often misunderstood. His purpose is to question our core being, our heart and soul and his questions may come in many different forms and ideas, but there is only one question that burns: How bad do you want it?

I sit with that question everyday, and it’s what propels me forward each and everyday of my life. I encourage you as we close this year and wait in anticipation of the New Year to not pretend that the gremlin is not there. Don't think you can eliminate him either. NO! Stare that gremlin dead in the face and say: I am afraid, I am worried, I don't know if I can do this, but I would rather give it everything I've got than let you keep me from trying.

Life is like any other game we have played since we were little kids. We knew it then, but all too often we lose our way. You can't win the game by not participating. You’ve gotta get some skin in the game. Remember the gremlin starts our nice love able fury creature, than he turns into your worst nightmare.

Remember be positive, be real and live your life In The Zone.
