Being in the present so that you can become your ideal self is the most important thing of all.

So many people live their lives based on the little stories they attach to what’s happened in the past.

That focus on the past pulls you out of the present.

It doesn’t matter if you’re 20, 40, or even 70. You can live your best life right now, without a shadow of a doubt.

I’ve got a little exercise for you and you can do it no matter how old you are.

Close your eyes and visualise yourself in five years’ time. Who is that person? What are their values? How are they different than who you are in...

Most people want to lose more weight and make more money, yet so few actually achieve and sustain. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why? 
It's not just discipline. It's not just consistency. It's how you view the world and yourself. Abundance or scarcity, fear or love? 
If you define yourself by your bank account or body fat % you'll always struggle to be wealthy and healthy. 
Success and happiness is an inside job. Yes, you must do the work. Yes, you must turn up. But you cannot define yourself by achievements and outcomes. Define yourself by your actions daily and how you live. 
Do you live your values or compromise them. Success comes down to value alignment not ruthless ambition and brute force. 
If you want more money don't make it about money. If you walk to be trim stop looking at the scales.

I want you to ask yourself this.

Will you be happy if you’re the same person on 1st January 2020 that you are right now?

I’m going to bet that you won’t feel happy about that. I definitely won’t.

2019 is the year that you’re going to make some important changes in your life with TJM. And I’m going to help you by sharing the eight things that change your life in one year.

1. Stop complaining about your life. Instead, remember that you’re lucky to be here and have this day. Don’t be the victim in your own story. Show gratitude for what you have and get to work on solving the problems instead of complaining about them.
2. Embrace loneliness and focus on reinventing who you are. Use your alone time to dive deep into who you are and what you want to change to become your ideal self.
3. Wave goodbye to the naysayers and the people...

YOU CAN'T FIX WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE. 
The 2 critical elements for personal transformation and breakthrough are awareness and ownership. You must be aware of your defects or what's holding you back and then own them without blame or shame. You must step up and step into who you are. 
This is based on my own life, my fuck ups, rock bottoms, pain and subsequent path to happy and also through observing those I coach and mentor. 
Without awareness and ownership it's a false economy.  #Repost@jairekrobbins

#1 rule — you have to participate in your own rescue!! .

If a person isn’t willing to stop doing what caused or is causing the pain... there isn’t anything we can do to help.

Are you willing & committed to participate in your own rescue??

Animals are the best. 
If you can pay the rent, put food on the table and provide for the kids, why not adopt a pet? 
They are pure love. So many need a good home. Why not check out @maggiesrescue . That's where we found the boys. 
Changed my life. 
Cars, boats, toys are ok but animals fill your heart with joy

Thursday thoughts sent with love  #inspiration #motivation #mindset

But here’s the issue.

So many people think that learning is enough. They read and they listen so that they know exactly what they need to do.

But they never actually do it.

They don’t put that knowledge into practice. They don’t pull the trigger and get moving.

Knowledge is nice. But it’s only powerful when you execute. You’ve got to take action or there’s no point in learning in the first place.

There are all sorts of reasons why people don’t put their knowledge into practice. They procrastinate and tell themselves that they can get started another day.

Or, they think that perfection is the goal. And that perfection isn’t attainable so they never get started in the first place.

They have all of this knowledge that never gets used....

Don't be so busy building a life that you forget to live. The only place we ever live is NOW. 
I used to live in the penthouse, drive the Maserati, wear the Rolex, designer suits and I was never happy, always wanting more. 
I missed out on the magic moments like this one right here this morning when my 2 boys came and flopped on me while I was typing up work stuff. 
The old me would have pushed them off in a mad frenzy to get stuff done. The magic is aways in the now and it's aways FREE. YOU DON'T BUY MAGIC AT FERRARI MASERATI SHOWROOM. 
Magic is free. Stop buying stuff expecting it will fill you up inside. The magic is the bird on the window sill, the butterfly on the leaf, it is all around you NOW. The movie Avatar was not as sci-fi as you might think. Everything's connected. THE TRAGEDY FOR MOST IS THEY ARE TOO OBSESSED BUILDING A LIFE THAT THEY NEVER TRULY LIVE.

Do the stuff that brings you joy. Be like Julie. 
Find your bliss. Julie grew up riding horses and she told me she'd love to get back in the saddle. Well, now she is. @juliemcgstg you are awesome. Luv ya. This thing called life ain't a dress rehearsal, this is the main event. Yet so many observe from the sidelines through fear of failing or what others might think. Rubbish.

We need to be child like with our dreams. We need to do what brings us to life. I'm thrilled for you Julie and cannot wait for more rides together around centennial Park and beyond.
