ITS FRIDAY! You have the power to decide.... dont you?

You have the power to decide what it is you want.

Simple example:

Today is friday,

depending on your life style it means a lot of different things for many different people. But lets just say that this friday is the first time in your life that you are going to decide you want more out of life. This decision is different and is going to take you out of your comfort zone. This will ask of you to do things to improve yourself but through a more efficient method. The best part about this is that its fail safe. you might ask how is that possible that its fail safe? In my opinion failing is just finding a better way to do something. When i say fail safe its that you are going to decide that even if you fail your going to move forward! This failure will be turned into a success and you can move forward. Nothing is going to hurt because the worst that is going to happen is you return to where you were before. But lets be honest even than you wont be interested in being where you were before. Because when you decide to become even better you are never going to look back :) Today is friday you have the power to decide!!

Be More Awesome!!

Stop the Excuses! Just do what you know how to do!

Stop the Excuses! Just do what you know how to do!

Amidst the many books I have and read from time to time. One of them hit a home run. In short saying and not quoted as just do what you know how to do. This isnt anything you dont already know. This is a reminder. A reminder to stop making excuses for why your life isnt where its suppose to be. All the excuses in the world are not going to get you any closer to where you are going. It is the solutions that you produce that will move you forward. So Just do what you know how to do.

An example of this is a friend of mine who love the athletics and being with people, yet he is doing everything other than that. He is working in a job that doesnt put him any closer to what he loves to do. Her excuse: maybe when I have more time, or I have been thinking about that. If your anything like this, stop thinking and start doing.

Another example of this is a friend of mine who is interested in building a multi-million dollar company, wants to known world wide, makes lots of money, has all the right ideas, and is ready to do it. His excuse: I dont know the right people. I just dont have enough money. I dont know how to begin.

If your anything like this, stop thinking and start doing.

Do you see that each of the people have a vision yet they are making excuses to pursue what they love to do. how about this today. Just do what you know how to do! Stop the Excuses and start making solutions

Let me know where it is your going and the solutions you have.

your crazy idea can be successful

Everything involving success is a trial and error process. Each moment you do something its a refining process till you receive the results you are looking for. It will benefit you the most to find the solution to a problem than place blame or excuses of why the problem does not have a solution. your success isnt in how right you are but how successful you are. a wonderful example of the this is the follow scenarios, pick which one was most successful:

scenario 1

last night i said i would start drawing a cartoon a night. so i put up on my facebook.com/marcoriolo wall a post that said 15 minute sketch. name an animal and a theme.

post after post came flooding in at midnight. I picked one and started drawing.

when i finished i was completely beside myself with how unpracticed i was and how much i needed to improve. I posted the result and move forward. this is successful because i created a path and followed through with it till the end.

scenario 2

this could have gone another way. which did not happen by the way but could have:

last night i said i would start drawing a cartoon a night. so i thought about it, and figured since it was midnight it was too late, and i could just plan it better for tomorrow. or last night i posted 15 minute sketch and to many ideas came in and i didnt know which one to pick. last night i was completely beside myself with how bad it was and it was obviously the drawings fault to why i didn't post it. i didn't even do it because i was affraid. i mean come on here this list is an endless list of rubbish that has has found no solution for our success.

As a result you can see between the two scenarios. The first one is creating solutions to allow us to move forward through idea and be successul. The second is a lot more work and lot less successful. Success is a trial and error process that allows you to refine a process till you receive the results you are looking for. When you have a solution you can have success. So be an example of what you want out of life!

what is your story?

for the first time your not crazy for having that idea.

For the first time your not crazy. that idea you had the other day was amazing actually. I mean why not? what is stopping you from actually pursuing that great idea you just had? and if you have a reason how many of those are lack of understanding or just dont know how?

here is some examples of why you should:

if you never decided to crawl or decided to walk you wouldnt be today. infact inforder for you to do that it took several falls and in some cases using something to hold you up.

that first time you decided to cook for yourself. That recipe most like didnt get amazing till you refined it a few times. that didnt stop you from making it :)

what about writing a book? starting a company? pursuing what you love to do? traveling somewhere? being an athlete? being amazing parents? being an amazing friend? an invention? something new? i know that you have a dream and that dream is an amazing idea that although you think is crazy :) is absolutely perfect!!

today write down what you want to do and pursue it for the next 30 days. lets see what happens! because for once your not crazy for having that idea

accountable by your consequences

accountable by your consequences

So often goals and directives are created by ourselves to attain something we want or dont want. I will do more of this to be fit, make more money, or have better relationships. We create a reward that says if we do these things than this will happen. By doing so, you have to be accountable for those actions and as a result see them through. This result you receive is a consequence of either being more fit, making more money, or better relationships or whatever you choose.

an easy example to help motivate some people is:

the money wager to help keep the motivation.

-If you dont keep to what you are doing your consequence is payment of some kind of money example $50 to your friend that is holding you accountable.

-If the person faults than the friend receives $50 for a rainy day.

-If however each week that the accountable person is successful that $50 is put toward themselves.

-So that by the end of the month they can take that $200 that they would have otherwise lost and treat themselves for there successes.

in the end this example and what we are talking about is being accountable for what you want. By creating your own consequences you can be more responsible for your actions. because your either going to be responsible for what you do or wish you had been. control your life, be accountable, and have fun!

be responsible! Enjoy your consequences your the one choosing them and be more awesome!

Superbowl of life

superbowl of life

try something new! i found my ballet shoes!

Trying some new or revisiting some fun! A number of years ago i was given the opportunity with a good friend of mine to learn ballet. the short story Jason Marcotte asked me to be von rothbart. They needed someone really big to fit the role in there performance. my reply what is von rothbart and yes! sounds fun!

3 times a week and 5 weeks later i would myself in the dance companies performance of swan lake as the evil villian von rothbart. what an absolute blast!! during the performance stage right, a little swan girl maybe 5 years old looks up and me and says. how are you? my reply with a smile doing good. she says: dont worry you are going to do great, if you for get your steps just keep going youll remember. your going to do great! I looked down with a big smile from the smallest person that has ever given me advice and was filled with joy as our part just began!

today 6 years later I am going to my first ballet class in grand rapids invited by my friend amy wilson, who is teaching the class today. Where something comfortable she said, so i found a par of shorts, shirt, and my ballet dancing shoes from 6 years ago :) Today is going to be so much fun trying something new again!

I hope you are having a great day and most excellent end to your week

Be More Awesome!
