If we were to just take the moment to stop and smell the roses life would be a little easier, don’t you think? I have always been fond of reading and dance. It does not require anything of you except that you give it your attention and that you also have fun while taking part in these activities.

If you think about it reading can keep your brain sharp and allow you to use your imagination. Dance is comparable to a exercise, which in turn can make you a healthier individual. I find that reading is a great way to relax as well as reflection. Dance is a great way to workout, you get to train your body for endurance and maintain balance.

So this week give reading or dance a chance and reap the benefits. I do and it feels great!

Today I am amused that my Oh-So-Talented ‘Partner In Crime’ choose this quote as it directly correlates with her personality.

I am amused that I own over 90 books in my library and I have only read 1 of them, but I subscribe to 273 blogs and read them religiously.

I am amused that last night I learned to salsa dance (the Mexicali way) and sang mariachi without knowing the words.

What are you amused by?

As with anything you may want in life you need to be committed. I say this loosely – because if you cannot accomplish what you set out to do for yourself then it is not worth doing it at all. I don’t mean that it strictly applies to your career. This applies to you in all aspects of your life.

When I decide I want to pursue a creative goal I make sure that I create an action plan and I find ways to ensure that I complete it. If you just put a little bit of motivation into your goals then you will reap the rewards. You will be one step closer to realizing your potential. This in turn will bring you closer to achieving your dreams.

I dare you to dispel every ounce of energy and achieve the impossible. Achieve greatness through the means of committing yourself to your actions.

• Commit so deeply that you see nothing but results
• Commit as if there is no other dream
• Commit so that failure is not the end result
• Commit knowing that you will achieve
• Commit so that everyday is an opportunity to move closer to your dream
• Commit so that you don’t feel the need to take a break
• Commit to yourself

Give it all you’ve got – because you have one chance to achieve your dream. That chance stops when you give up.

Society has been consistent in dictating what success means for the masses. We are so ready to praise people for what is deemed as an accolade but not for the attributes of that person who achieved it. Einstein was quite the wise man – a man of value will go farther in life than a man who is just deemed as one of success!

I have always been fortunate to have been surrounded by people who led their lives with character and taught me that its essential to become a woman that is valued which, in turn breeds success. I can say that the people who I believe are of value and a success are individuals that have made a difference in this world. Let’s take for example, Mother Theresa, or even Albert Einstein himself. Both of these individuals were of ultimate value to the world. Are they a success story? Absolutely.

Success is measured by your values as well as what you can bring to this world. I believe that when you do good and share it with others this will make your mark in this world. It could be something small or breaking headlines.

Sometimes I think that we forget as humans what life is all about. In marketing, it is all about what value you can bring to the table. We call that talent. If you can use your talent towards a greater good we all benefit.

Think about it - food for thought.

Is today going to be another day of routine and right answers?
Or
Would you rather today be one of novelty and nuances?

The truth is, no matter what is going on around you the choice is yours.
Success awaits those that choose to continuously embrace change. Success awaits those who are willing to work hard and I don’t just mean by working extraordinary hours. Truth is the number of hours you work is not really considered hard work. Hard work can only be measured by what has been accomplished. Hard work produces tangible ideas that are spawned through a concept.

So it is time to look at the world differently. Bring value by creating a success out of yourself first. Success is what you choose it to be. Big or small it is your choice to become successful. Value is what you give back with the success that comes with it.
