Pick your words carefully

Another post about that BeachBody call tonight (the other one deserved to stand on it's own):

Les Brown is a motivational speaker. He speaks at events all over the country. He took a night out to talk to some BeachBody folks. MAN was it worth it. Unfortunately I inadvertently fell asleep on the couch and woke up from my nap after it had started. I decided to call in anyway and made an incredible decision in doing so. I learned very much in the ... 20 minutes I was on the call.

One thing that I learned is that we write our own script. We are not born shy, talkative, outgoing, bashful, oober friendly, recluse, successful, a laborer, an entrepreneur, a secretary, etc. We write our own script on this one. We become this. You have to choose, though, to give up the life you've been living and reinvent yourself to become the you that you want to be. When you reinvent yourself, you must be willing to do what others aren't willing to in order to get what others won't get.

When you reinvent yourself, pick your words carefully. Reinvent yourself to reach your goals, to go for the moon and the planets beyond. Reinvent yourself with the expectation that you'll be doing what it is that other's won't be willing to do. Reinvent yourself with the patience though. In this world, Les points out, that we have people who stand in front of a microwave that's zapping their food to be ready in seconds, waiting, tapping their feet. Do what you need to do, what they won't do, to get what you want, what they won't.

When you reinvent yourself, search your heart. Find your goals. Are you married? What are their aspirations? Include them in yours! Be selfish WITH your spouse, not against them!!

When you reinvent yourself, pick your words carefully when you're rewriting that script.

Oh yea....and hold your head high and don't give a rat's behind about what the hell other people think about you. Thank them for their opinion, move on with your life and keep going--unstoppable. One on a mission. Be on a mission. Get on your mission. Your mission: take control of your life. Ask me how you can do just that! :)
