Shoulda Woulda Coulda

I have been saying that a lot. “Shoulda Woulda Coulda.” Nick and I have been chatting about our upcoming trip (God we leave tomorrow??) A LOT and he always talks about how we could have saved money or how we should have planned a longer trip or bla bla bla. My answer is always “shoulda woulda coulda.”

Why dwell on what you should have, would have, or could have done. It does nothing for your present moment. I could have done a lot of things in my past but if I sat and meditated on all of it, I would drive myself crazy. What I can do is learn from my mistakes and make better decisions in my future.

Someone once told me that instead of journaling all the things that went wrong, why not journal about your top five successes for the day. What if you did that every day before you went to bed? I wouldn’t be surprised if you spent your whole day looking at everything from a more positive point of view. Perspective is a funny thing.

Try it and let me know how it works for you.

Cheers!

Change is Hard!

“Our lives improve only when we take chances –

and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves.”

-Walter Anderson

Every once in awhile you have to check your personal inventory and dump the stuff that isn’t working for you. Jack Canfield said, “Successful people face these circumstances squarely, heed warning signs, and take appropriate action, no matter how uncomfortable or challenging it might be.” I know a lot of people who are good at admitting there are issues they need to work on. However, they never do anything about it. What good is that? Personal change is hard, but when you can look back at something monumental that you have overcome, it makes you feel so strong.

“Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.”

The Company You Keep

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”
-Jim Rohn

Have you ever thought about the company you keep?? Maybe you could be more successful if you surrounded yourself around people who don't drag you down.

What are your thoughts on this?
