 Every test in life makes us bitter or better, every problem comes to break us or make us. The choice is ours whether we become Victim or Victor. - Tammy S. Ernst       Tammy Ernst sounds like she trained at the same martial arts school as me. This quote from Tammy is very similar to the "mantra" we stated at the beginning and end of each class in our dojo. Shiken haramitsu daikoumyo This sacred Buddhist mantra in Japanese is taught and used by all members of the Bujinkan Dojo. The meaning as explained by my Sensei when I started training was: "In every encounter or experience in life, we have the chance to gain total enlightenment. It's up to us to determine if those experiences are positive or negative." This phrase became my mantra for life. This is how I like to look at the experiences I have in life. I try to look at all of them as positive as I can. You can see how Tammy's quote is so similar. Every test in life makes us bitter or better, every problem comes to break us or make us. The choice is ours whether we become Victim or Victor. We choose whether we will be better or bitter. We choose to let our experiences break us or make us. We choose to be the Victim or the Victor. It's a tough choice for some, easy for many. Unfortunately, most people choose to be the Victim. They choose to let the tough life experiences break them, they choose to be bitter. What do you choose? Are you a Victim or a Victor? Are you going to let life's experiences break you or make you. Will you choose bitterness or Betterness! Join me in choosing to be a Victor. Join me in letting life Make Us into what we want to be, Better! Go Out Today and Make The Right Choice   I get a lot of my quotes from great books that I read.

TAKE TIME TO PULL THE WEEDS FROM YOUR LIFE THAT KEEP YOUR GARDEN FROM BLOOMING TO ITS GREATEST BEAUTY. ~TONY WOODALL   [bctt tweet=" SPRING CLEANING - TAKE TIME TO PULL THE WEEDS FROM YOUR LIFE THAT KEEP YOUR GARDEN FROM BLOOMING TO ITS GREATEST BEAUTY. ~TONY WOODALL" username="GoalsPodcast"] Spring Cleaning - I was reminded by a text yesterday about the need for Spring Cleaning. Yes, it's springtime and spring is a time in of renewal, rebirth, revitalizing. Spring Cleaning is almost a ritual at this time of year - as we often need to look at the things around us and think, "Do they still work in our gardens, our homes, and in our lives. The Spring is a great time to review our goals and if you made them, New Year's Resolutions. If you made New Year's Resolutions, most people have forgotten them already, or have given up on them by now. Have you? If you set goals for the first quarter, where are you? Are you almost complete? Are you still tracking them with your action plan? Maybe it's spring cleaning time in your life. Look at your life. What parts of your life, your garden of ideas and dreams, need some weeding? What closet in your mental house - your passions, need cleaning out? If you have plants, products, "Stuff" that doesn't make you better, move you forward, make you happy - maybe it's time to remove that from your place? As the person texting reminded me yesterday. Celebrate the spring. It's nature's way of starting over and seeing the brightness and beauty it brings. I'm grateful for my life and my ability to grow. Sometimes growth requires change. Cleaning out our closets and our minds helps to provide room for that growth. Take time this month to review what makes you happy, what makes you grow and what doesn't. Let go of that which holds you back. Grow! Have a Great Spring, my friends. Go out and make today a great day. Do have some cleaning to do? Do you need someone to help you review what you want to do with your life, where you want to be? Maybe you need someone to hold you accountable. I know I could have used that type of person as I started working on my Spring Cleaning. I offer coaching services for people that want to gain an advantage over the clutter of life and help you set your goals and keep you accountable as you strive to achieve those goals. Check out my Coaching Page at Goal Getting Podcast.com / Services to find a plan that works for you and let's start cleaning out the limiting beliefs and things that are holding you back from the beauty your garden can bring.   Leave a comment in the Comments section of our Podcast page at GoalGettingPodcast.com / Spring Cleaning. Let us know what is holding you back and how we can help you start to bloom.

Tanner Gers I met Tanner online in one of the Facebook groups I frequent. Tanner, like me, is a motivational speaker and podcaster. I heard Tanner's story on several podcasts and I was impressed and inspired by Tanner's ability to overcome the obstacles put in front of him. After hearing Tanner's story, I wanted to interview him for Goal Getting Podcast so you could hear him, learn from him and understand that we don't have to let obstacles keep us from achieving our goals. I was attending a National Speaker's Association (@NSASpeaker ) Video Lab in Tempe, Arizona. I posted I was in Tempe on my Facebook page and Tanner, a Facebook friend, connected on Facebook and said he would love to meetup while I was in town, since he lived nearby. I met up with Tanner and his lovely wife for dinner and we went back to my hotel. We both had been wanting to speak to each other and interview each other on our podcasts. So, we did!. We met in the hotel lobby, with the music playing and other NSA members chatting in the background. Listen to Tanner's story on Goal Getting Podcast. How he quiets the inner voices. How giving forgiveness made his life better. How to use breathing to help make your life better. What Quote Hangs On Your Wall?

S3-I1 - Tanner Gers - Not letting obstacles get in the way of your goals

Spring is the time to find out where you are, who you are, and move toward where you are going. Spring is my favorite time of the year. We are just coming out of a cold, dreary, time in our life. That is unless you live in a tropical climate. Then spring may be just a little warmer than it was yesterday, weather wise. But I often think of spring as when we need to reflect back on where we are, who we are and where we want to be. That's why this quote hits home with me. Many do this reflection at the the beginning of the calendar year. In December and January, we start working on our goals for the coming year, defining what we want to be and work on by the end of the year. Me, I like thinking of spring as the beginning of a new cycle of life. That's what nature does. The spring is the rebirth of the new life after the winter freezes. I find I can better get a feel for where I am in life and where I want to be when the spring comes. But that's me. It doesn't matter when you begin. The key is to begin, to start this process when it is best for you. Regardless of when you start, it also a good time to check in periodically on where you are, who you are and where you are going. If you started in December or January, working on your goals, take some time now, in the spring, to see if the fruits of your labor are starting to spring up? Are you who you wanted to be at this time of the year? Are you heading in the right direction to the destination you want to achieve? I've been working on one of my goals, to become a professional speaker. I have achieved that goal, in that I have presented and been paid to do a speech. I was honored to present at the International Facility Management Association, San Francisco Chapter's Annual Kickoff Meeting. International Facility Management Association San Francisco Annual Kickoff Meeting I presented my Surfing to Success in 2017 keynote address before a large crowd in January. It was a great time with a fantastic group of facility management professionals. I was thrilled to be able to share my program about how to achieve success by using your passion for what you do, or want to do, to propel you to success and going out each day and catching your next big wave and being successful in the years to come. I am continuing to build my speaking business and will graduate from the National Speakers Association of Northern California Speakers Academy in May. I joined the National Speakers Association as well and am continuing to learn more about the speaking business and marketing to grow my speaking business. Spring has sprung as they say, and I am looking at where I am now, who I am and where I want to go. How about you? Are you where you want to be? Are you who you are? Are you heading in the direction you need to go? If you are, share what successes you have had this spring. Go to the Comments and tell the Goal Getters what you are doing and the success you have this spring. Where are you going the rest of the year? We want to hear from you. Post in the Comments Below If not, don't worry. Start now, it's spring. It's time for new growth. I am happy to help you with your planning of and the execution of your goals. We all sometimes need an accountability partner to keep us on track. I offer personal and group coaching services to help you get the goals you set. Check out my Coaching Page at GoalGettingPodcast.com/Services to see the plans I offer and select the best one for you.

S3Q2 - Springing to Success This Year

Conformity is the Jailer of Freedom and the Enemy of Growth. ~~ President John F. Kennedy In honor of Presidents Day this week, I am going to talk about Presidential Quotes. Great quotes from great Presidents of the United States. I'll start with President John F. Kennedy. President Kennedy as assassinated when I was 5 years old. We lived in Connecticut then. I vaguely remember going down to the railroad station and watching the train go by with his casket. We all like conformity. Today we talk about stepping out of our comfort zone. The knowledge that conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth is not knew. JFK believed we needed to step out of our comfort zones. He took several when he was President. We went to the the moon, he changed politics and he took other risks. As a leader, we have to take a few risks to grow. If we don't we won't change. Anytime you take risks you will change. Without change there is no growth. Don't let conformity keep you lock in your current world. It is like a jailer. If you don't take risks because what you are doing is comfortable, easy, status quo, you will not be happy later in life. Doing what we want is freedom. Freedom to choose, freedom of thought. I'd love to see you step up and break the chains of conformity and be the person you want to be. Be Free, Take Risks! How are your goals coming this year? Are you having problems already keeping up with tasks you need to accomplish? Do you need an accountability partner or someone to walk with you and help you keep on track. Check out my coaching page. I have a plan that can help you. I'll help keep you on track as we work together to accomplish your dreams.
