Put some action on your good intentions!

Live in the present, but live for the future.
The promise of aspiration is that it is evolutionary. The human condition is such that we are always aspiring to be something more, something better, something nobler. It starts as a thought, a want, a need, or a desire and then grows and evolves with intention and direction, upward with lust and hunger. The continued drive feeds the rise.
People aspire, learn, and grow when they are ready to commit to the process.
People rise to the occasion without hesitation when they feel inspired and challenged.
When aspirations are perceived to be achievable, ambition and drive can erase excuses.
Core passions and aspirations should be consistent and in sync.

An aspirational diet will have you dreaming of success; but it’s the attachment of expectations and tangible goals that feeds the desire, persistence, and fortitude required to make the win.
I have been thinking about the idea of excuses for some time now. They are like menacing demons that creep into our lives without us knowing. They are roadblocks, white lies to ourselves, a reason to set the bar lower, and self-justification for achieving less than our full potential.
Managing excuses means not excusing yourself from the responsibility you need to take with your thought, words, and actions.
Excuses fall silent behind self-control, focus, and direction.
Once your excuses are gone, you will simply have to settle for being awesome!
The BIG push means being able to develop and sustain momentum toward your goal; it is the process of actively replacing excuses with winning habits, the ultimate excuses blockers. Moreover, it is being willing to go to the wall for what you want or believe in, to push beyond your previous mental and physical limits, no matter what it takes.
Push today for what you want tomorrow!

Most of us are continually engaged in some form of pursuit. We are seeking excellence within one or more areas in our lives, and that is the basis of our motivation. It is human nature to have a need to get ahead, need a little something more—it’s in our DNA. Although we may not be certain of what we need at any given moment, we know there’s something. It’s a competitive itch and desire to improve that never goes away.
A show of confidence raises the bar.
Motivation: to think myself successful!
Resilience is not a commodity you are born with, waiting silently on tap. It is self-manufactured painstakingly over time by working through your problems and never giving up, even in the face of difficulty or failure.

And always, always, always being a good sport.
True sportsmanship is excellence in motion!
When I think of excellence in motion, I think of the big picture. Because of the magnitude of this concept, I look at it from an aerial perspective. It is a mindset that challenges the boundaries of self-induced limits—that point where you aspire to exceed your expectations, where the mind-body-achievement connection resides and wins time and time again.
Our bodies are more than just a vehicle for our minds. They are the inspiration!
