Coach Andrea’s Intro

This morning I was thinking about choices my clients have each and every day.  Steve Straus is correct when he says you can make your own choices or let someone else make them for you.  How will you greet each morning – jumping out of bed with enthusiasm, stretching, breathing and luxuriating or with your head under the pillow?  You get to decide what attitude you bring to a situation – light hearted, thoughtful, serious, or heavy.  As a business owner, it’s up to you to create the culture you want in your company – is it open, lively, and progressive? You choose.

Quote of the Week

“Because you are in control of your life. Don’t ever forget that. You are what you are because of the conscious and subconscious choices you have made.”
~ Barbara Hall

Choices

How good are you, really?

You can either make your own choices or let someone else make them for you.

It’s your choice!

Of course there are times when it’s useful to let someone else make choices for you — when they have more expertise, when they have more time, or when they need to learn something new by making a choice and experiencing the result. But that is not what this Principle is about.

The issue is, do you see yourself as always being at choice, always in charge of your life? Or do you feel constrained, unable to be free to choose? If it’s the latter, you might want to ask yourself why that is so.

Choose to live free. Choose to always be at choice.

Moms, Happy Mother’s Day!

Wise advice given by our mothers:

The source of my mother’s love and strength is evident in the advice she gives me every time I leave. A kiss on the cheek, a hug and a reminder to keep God first. I, in turn, share the same advice with my 6-year-old daughter.
Eric Benet, singer. Mother: Joyce Jordan

“My mom once told me to always believe in yourself. Even if your chances are slim, or everyone else doesn’t believe in that, people will look up to you because you’re sticking to what you believe in, and they will admire that in you. That was the best advise I ever got from my mom.”
Lorin, 12, Pennsylvania

“Be happy. For we have only one life and that too is very short.”
Jyoti, Surat

“The best advice my mother ever gave me is “Don’t let other people make the choices for you and don’t let no one push you around.”
Gabriela, 11, Canada

“My mom is always telling me to be independent and follow my dreams and I will live a good, happy life.”
Chris, 12, Alabama

“When I was young and dating men, my mom always told me to watch how my boyfriends treated their mothers. She said they would treat me the same way. I found this to be so true. I have a husband who thought the world of his mom and shows that same love to me. It’s the best advice my mom ever gave me.”
Mary Bentrup

Mom, thank you for your guidance, love and wisdom!
