Dr. Rob Gilbert, Leading Sports Psychologist, coined the phrase GOYA (Get off your A#%). I'm coining the phase MOVE YOUR A#%.
Get up and start Moving... Not just anywhere... But Move in the direction of your GOALS.
YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.. Right!
Once You Know that... START MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION. Take a first step... then another... then another. You've heard the saying... if you stumble and fall... Stumble and fall forward. NEVER BACKWARD. Fight hard not to go backward.
For those of you that trade stocks. it's like setting a trailing STOP after you've made some gains. If your stops are tight and continually adjusted upward you can never lose what you've gained.
Set trailing stops in LIFE!
What are we really saying... By moving your a#% you are creating a ACTION. When you create a action you are doing something.
Here's the golden nugget... YOU CAN ALWAYS (without exception) CONTROL YOUR ACTIONS... AND YOUR ACTIONS ARE INDEPENDENT OF YOUR FEELINGS, EMOTIONS OR THOUGHTS.
The trick is to make your actions move towards your goals, Remember this is independent of how you feel. Example - doing something you don't like.. but you know it is moving you in the direction you want. i.e., studying, lifting weights, working that 2nd job to pay for night school, or while in grammar school that job after school to pay for J Robinson's intensive camp, etc.
It is by far easier to control and change you what you DO (i.e., your actions), than it is to control and change your feelings, emotions or thoughts.
Successful people act even when they don't really want to. They take the feelings and emotions out of the equation. They consistently live by GOYA and MYA.

Message #97 - What You Do Today DOES Matter!
Have You Ever Ended Up Somewhere and Wonder How in the World Did I Get Here?
That is precisely the point. How Did I get here! This applies in Every Aspect of Life.
Like... Driving Somewhere & Getting Lost and ending up somewhere you didn't want to be... Ending up with Friends, People, Spouse, Kids, Sickness, Disease, or a Job you don't really want to be with, etc., you name it.....
Basically just not being happy with where you're at and/or the direction you're going!
I'm here to tell you that this just didn't happen by accident. It didn't just happen overnight or all of a sudden... IT HAPPENED OVER TIME FOLKS.
TIME is the Game Changer Here. It is either our friend... or it is our enemy. It's ONE OR THE OTHER. Our choices mutiplied by TIME happens to all of us. It happens to me and it happens to you.
The Key is recognizing when wrong choices are being repeated over TIME heading us down a path we really dont' want... and STOP! Stop the train immediately! Reaccess your GOALS and pick a different path. Sounds simple.. but it's not.
Picking a different path means making different CHOICE. Making a different DECISION. Making a CHANGE.
This is the GOLDEN NUGGET HERE: Your daily choices, decisions and actions when added up everyday over TIME will always take us to our ACCOMPLISHMENTS and ACHIEVEMENTS. NO EXCEPTIONS.
I've analysed literally thousands of successful people's daily actions (including mine) and concluded they were all on the straight and narrow path to their future accomplishments and success. Any detour off the path by "wrong daily actions" compounded by time would have taken them grossly off course missing the success and accomplishments that was "gift wrapped" waiting for them (including me).
So if you're asking yourself how did I get here, just play back the recorder of your life on a day-by day basis, up to this moment, and you will realize with crystal clarity exactly how you got here, and more importantly where your life is headed.
Want to change your life. Start today by changing what you do today and multiply your successful daily routine over TIME and I guarantee you will get the result your daily actions are pointing to. NO MYSTERIES HERE. JUST CONSISTENCY.
REMEMBER what ever happens to you, be sure, YOU are 100% responsible!

There was a Sign in our Wrestling Room at Wisconisin, I Looked at EVERYDAY, that Read:
"Measure a Man by the Opposition it Takes to Discourage Him"
As a college athlete I knew there would be obstacals to overcome everyday... i.e., injuries, tough practices, classes and grades, competition, you name it.... etc... All I knew is that I wasnt' going to quit and I was somehow going to be a NCAA Champion.
SUCCESS IS NEVER EASY.....

Message #95 - Want to be a true LEADER in anything?
Don't be afraid to break the mold and the status quo... with the true Leader thinking outside the box is not enough... with the true leader "THERE IS NO BOX"
- The true leader Innovates; while others only administers what's already there.
- The true leader is an original; while others try and copy.
- The true leader makes things happen; while others ask "what happened"
- The true leader originates; while others imitate.
- The true leader is intensely interested in continual personal and professional development; while others maintain where they're at.
- The true leader focuses on developing people, because they know that's best way to get things done; while others focuses on systems and structure.
- The true leader inspires trust; while others rely on control.
- The true leader sees the "big picture" and has a long-range perspective; while others maintain a short-range view and only see the immediate circumstance(s).
- The true leader asks what and why; while others ask how and when.
- The true leader challenges the status quo; while others accept it.
- The true leader does the right thing; while others do things right.

Message #94 - Keep Believing in your Miracle.
Don't quit the moment before your miracle... your breakthrough... your SUCCESS!
If you keep believing your breakthrough will come. Your success will come.
One way to keep your dream alive is to constantly visualize your success. Role play it in your mind. Then step out of your mind and role play your future success by acting it out.
Really act it out. As a young wrestler I used to make an award stand in my bed room and role play getting up on the #1 spot after hearing the my name announced as the champion. Sounds corny but this stuff works.
Another way is to make a feature film of your success in your mind and create a "highlight" trailer and play it constantly in your mind.

Message #93 - Are You Holding Back?
The next question is WHAT are you holding back? For example; energy, effort and love, ect. We all hold something back. Holding back is the key reason we have Mediocre performances and experiences.
Giving all you've got is the Key to Exceptional performance and experiences. Do you want to be EXCEPTIONAL ... or ... average?
Just by waking up in the morning...You've Made it to the "Average" Club. What you do after that makes all the difference.
Holding back is why people sometimes fail. When you hold back you never fully know what may have happened if you went "all out". Have you ever seen a person Passionate about something 'holding back"?
Great Desire and Intentions are wonderful things to have... but ... Great Effort is more important. This is the classic "thinking about doing something versus actually doing it".
"Remember Doing Something and Thinking about Doing Something Yields Entirely Different Results."
The reason why some people don't "go all out" and give (what ever it is) all they've got is because they have a belief that what ever it is they are giving; energy, effort, love etc., is LIMITED and needs to be conserved and rationed, for fear it is going to run out (kind of like time in a day). By having this belief we gauge, on a case by case basis, how much we're going to give to something.
Another reason for not going "all out" is Fear of Faliure. I'll address that in a later blog entry.
IF WE GUESS WRONG BY GIVING "TOO LITTLE" .... often times WE FAIL at what ever it is we're doing! This scenario is especially bad because if fosters failure and mediocrity, and if we succeed it's just as bad because if fosters an attitude of low output EXPECTING good results.
Strangely enough... WHAT DRAINS US OF OUR; ENERGY, EFFORT, LOVE (what ever) is the act of holding it back... not giving it 100%.
WATCH THIS.... The more you hold back, or conserve something i.e., your ENERGY, EFFORT, LOVE (what ever), the more NARROW the channels through which "it" can flow WHEN YOU REALLY NEED IT or WANT IT!
If you give it all at 100% the channel opens and flows freely. Example; if you hold back physical effort in athletic practices... the more difficult it is to give it (and express it) when you need it - to have the desired performance outcome. Another EXAMPLE; the more you hold back love... the more difficult it is to give it (and express it) when you need to.
This applies to everything. Think about it... People that freely and fully give 100% of their Effort towards something seem to have an unending supply of it... and are usually successful at what ever they're doing.
YOU DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT AND THEN GIVE IT EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT...EVERY DAY!

Message #92 - Deal With It!!!!
Excuses...Excuses...Excuses! I hear a lot of conversations about why things don't get done. Please... STOP the conversations. Stop the EXCUSES. stop the EXPLANATIONS. Stop the JUSTIFICATIONS.
All that stuff is really the outgrowth of our FEARS (I do it too sometimes). Fear causes us to make excuses (i.e., explaining and justifying why somethiong did or did not happen).
NO EXPLANATIONS OR JUSTIFICATIONS! PLEASE... JUST ACTION. You've heard of "Show me the money"... well... SHOW ME THE ACTION with no conversations!
In life for every decision we make we are either GETTING something for it... or AVOIDING something for it. The latter is living by default. The former is ACTION oriented living with purpose.
DEAL WITH YOUR FEARS AND TAKE ACTION TOWARDS YOUR FUTURE.
