Organize Tomorrow Today: 8 Ways to Retrain Your Mind to Optimize Performance at Work and in Life by Dr. Jason Selk
“A good plan violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan executed next week.” George S. Patton
As pitched on the back cover of this book, is the idea that success is spawned out of having and maintaining effective habits rather than innate talents. When I think on this and ponder what this truly means, I feel refreshed.
Isn’t it great to know that we can all create our own successful lives by simply adopting effective habits? Well perhaps not always so simple but certainly achievable none the less.
In this book the authors discuss the idea of planning or organizing tomorrow, today. Again simple in thought and theory yet to put into practice is challenging and certainly something I must improve on myself. Yet the benefits can and will be significant.
Every choice you make has an end result.” Zig Ziglar
We have so many great choices today. Yes in some part of the world people lack choice but for those of you who are reading this or listening to my podcast do have choice and have much more choice than perhaps you imagine.
We all have choice yet often we choose to evade responsibility and ownership of our life and rather than accepting that we have choice we blame others and our external circumstances.
This is my thought on what it means to have choice. Listen it!
Peace, passion and purpose…
Summary
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.”

At the age of 15 she found herself homeless going from couch to couch, working her way into crime and drugs Her personal story is an inspiring one and one that she opens up to in the interview.

“You purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it.” Gautama Buddha
I often wonder what my life’s purpose is and even what is the purpose of life. For much of my life I feel like I have lived with out knowledge or conscious awareness of this term purpose and certainly of what it all means.
When looking at anything I really like to discover the true meaning of the work and here is one I found from a dictionary source.
PURPOSE: The reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists.

Abundance Now: Amplify Your Life & Achieve Prosperity Today by Lisa Nichols
“Abundance is when you are living a life that you love and loving the life that you are living.” Lisa Nichols
Is your cup half-full or half-empty? Abundance is a mindset and we have the power to live a life of abundance or conversely, live a life of scarcity.
As Lisa describes in this book abundance is not something available for purchase but rather something we tap into, develop, cultivate and grow.
This means we can all live rich and abundant lives but what does that really mean.
Lisa’s definition of abundance is when you are living a life that you love and loving the life that you are living.
Abundance is having a large quantity of something, anything. In regards to abundance in the context of life it relates to your prosperity, hence the subtitle of Lisa’s book.
“The journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step.” Lao Tzu
We are all on our own journey and that journey often begins with a single step. This is a choice and its up to you to take that first step.
You may need some motivation to get started, you may need a bit of a kick in the bum for whatever the case you’ve got to get started.
The journey is not an easy one and its certainly not an overnight one. You have to be persistence and stay committed to what you desire.
Listen in to my quick thought for the day. I hope you enjoy and until next time peace, passion and purpose.
