It is true – you really don’t have to do anything with your life. But if you utter a word ‘wishing’ life would be easier and you find yourself complaining about it, then you better take a good look in the mirror and decided to change.
If you are one of those that just lives day to day believing that your situation will never improve but wish it would, then its in your own survival to make change mandatory. Sure, you do not have to change, you don’t have to have self improvement and motivation, you do not have to have better things in life, you do not need to be happy, in all honesty, all those things are over-rated and those that deserve those things are unique individuals who are willing to change.
Okay, all the negativity aside. It is ‘our’ plea to get the world to get off their behinds and stop wishing and start working. Self improvement and motivation is not necessary unless you want more from life than what you already have. It is necessary if you want more from the same old thing you have been doing for the past 1, 5, or even 20 years!
Here at CreateYourMind.com we will share what we’ve learned – through our own failures but our own determination to change. See the pattern? We do not need to learn anything. We do not need to change. We do not need to fail anymore. We do not need to share with you are failures as it leads to success. But we want more from our survival here on earth – it is short, and we want it to be the best experience it can possibly be.
So learn with us. Learn from our failures and we will learn from you! We encourage you to listen to our podcasts, engage in conversation with us, and share with us what you want from life and what you want to change.
Again, and I will reiterate this till the day I die.
You do not need to change!
Survival is not mandatory.
But if you want to survive… then be better than the next guy watching 14 hours of tv every week and do something about it.
Do you want to survive and live to tell about it? Then change is necessary!

Why did you quit?
Because it was too hard.
I’ll be honest with you. The one thing that gets under my skin is when people say, “it’s too hard.” Hard is just a choice.
Self improvement is hard. It is a journey that if someone is willing to take, will prove to be a prosperous journey. This is what will happen – obstacles will get in the way, old habits will come back into play, and self-improvement and motivation becomes harder and harder every day.
There are two choices – quit or persevere.
Quitting means you do not gain anything. You lose everything. If you persevere guess what – you achieve great results. This is not a secret, this is not something you find under the matress, this is hard cold tested truths that if you stay on the straight and narrow, even if you fall off track once, twice, or a million times, and you continue to get on that path – you will succeed.
Yes, it was hard. No – it is not impossible.
At CreateYourMind.com we want to get you on that straight and narrow path. The one that is so difficult to stay on, but with focus, determination, and perseverance, your goals will be attainable.
Here is the drama: You have to want it too. You have to want to work to help us learn how to do this as well. If you want more from life, just like us, then you need to have the want and the need to succeed – despite how hard the journey is.
Traveling from Los Angeles to New York by car is alot harder than flying across country in a private jet. But if you do not stop and follow the map, you will eventually end up in New York. If you stop and quit, what have you accomplished? Mediocrity? Not even close. Why? Because the Empire State Building is in New York. You gained nothing.
Work with us and we’ll work with you! Give us feedback on what we can do better, and we’ll give you feedback on how we will be better. Be better with us!
Here are a couple of quotes to get you to start thinking about your choices between hard work and the possibilites of perseverance:
“Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working.” Anon
The key words: ‘kept on working’.
“How long should you try? Until.” Jim Rohn
Until you succeed! This is why we are here. For you! Until…
“Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other” Walter Eliott
Winning these shorter races is key. It starts with continued daily habits that we suggest you do in our “Success and Opportunity Readiness Track” and the start of goal setting in our “Success and Opportunity Achievement Track.”
Start right, start now. Don’t ask “Why me?” when you are faced with difficult situations, ask, “Why not me?” and face the impossible head on. It does not matter if you are 18, 25, 40 or 70 years old! It is never too late to dream big!
Dream a big dream, dream the impossible dream! The worst thing that could happen is that your small dreams will come true!

I pulled the following quote by Charles Swindoll from my children’s school newsletter. It perfectly sums up attitude and its importance in life.
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude…I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of our attitudes.
Thank you for visiting CreateYourMind.com,
Glenn and Orlando here with another exciting episode of the Success and Opportunity Achievement Track. On the last podcast we evaluated where you are right now. If you haven’t listened yet please take a listen “The Success and Opportunity Achievement Track – Podcast #2”.
We use the words motivation in the workplace and please understand when we say workplace we are talking about your whole life. The workplace is your home with your family, your job, your health and your welfare. We want to be very clear. All these areas of are life take work and we need motivation to get up and do it day after day. The fact that you get up every day and go out there and live is a testament to how great of a human being you are.
Motivation in the workplace is not achieved by wishing things were better. You need hope and action. We talk specifically about the simple actions steps to take. If you could have it all what would it all be? If you have never though about that you need to listen to this podcast.
Jim Rohn said,
“If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.”
If this just explained your life then you are in luck because we are going to reveal step number five of this incredible journey to achievement. Motivation in the workplace can only be achieved if you know what to be motivated for. Getting motivated to pay the bills isn’t enough to get up for. You have wants and desires and if you have never given your wants and desires a second thought then I beg you to click the IPOD and act on the simple to use steps that we unveil.
I promise you that if you bring the hope and we reveal the action you will achieve what you desire most.
Motivation in the workplace is just minutes away! So click the IPOD below and change your life forever.

“We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level of our training.” – Archilochus, Greek Soldier, c. 650 BC
What do you expect when it comes to financial freedom? What do you expect when it comes to success? Here’s a secret that lends itself directly to anyone’s success in anything they do… Hard work and Preparation.
Where hard work and preparedness meet, that is where we can see success!
The CreateYourMind.com team, Orlando and Glenn, continue to impress upon people the reason why people like us have failed – because we were not prepared. Orlando and Glenn go into detail on how to prepare yourself for success on the “Opportunity and Readiness Track”. They truly believe that in order to succeed in anything you need to be prepared.
This is the CORE REASON why so many people quit on things (and on themselves). And once they quit, it becomes a habit.
So it is encouraged to get involved today! If it’s goal setting, get involved and prepare to achieve goals. If it is running a marathon, get those shoes on and start training. If it is a new job, prepare the resume and send it out to whomever needs to see it.
“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.” – Sun Tzu
The latter part of this quote is 90% of people in network marketing! They get excited about it, they join, they spend money on product and supplies and they have no idea how to build a business. Before you know it – they are defeated. They quit.
But that’s okay. It really is! And once you accept the worst that can happen – failure and defeat, this is what you need to do…
DON’T LET IT HAPPEN.
Yes, accept it. Get a taste of it. Then do what it takes to NOT let defeat and failure happen!
CreateYourMind! If you won’t… you know the saying…
Are you eating the biggest and ugliest frog today? If not read Brian Tracy’s book, “Eat the Frog” and start taking action to live your life better by stopping that ugly procrastination!
Apply this at work – and in your everyday life! You’ll find that this ‘tool’, or as I’m going to call it, ‘healthy brain diet’ will lead to self improvement and motivation in a tremendous way! Yes, eating frogs, so-to-speak, will make you a better person!
So, every day, eat the biggest and ugliest frog first and make 2010 a year you started eating frogs…
Oh, and if you don’t get it – frogs is a figure of metaphorical speech – if that makes sense.

After reading books by former pastor, John C. Maxwell and my favorite minister from the Bahamas, Myles Monroe, who both inspire and teach leadership, this quote, “Heaven never helps the man who will not act” made me realize that: every aspect of self improvement, motivation in the workplace, relationships with your children, spouse, and friends, and any endeavor you have on your plate where you want success, begins and ends with ‘help’. If your higher power is God – then heaven will help you if you ask but will ONLY help if you take action.
I can’t plead for help yet sit in bed all day. The help will come as you struggle and pound away! If you say, “God will show me the way” but you aren’t doing anything to look down the road, this is using God as crutch.
People – “DO NOT WISH LIFE WAS EASIER – WISH YOU WERE BETTER!!!” Jim Rohn.
Glenn & Orlando (The CreateYourMind Team)
2010 is going to be great. We (Orlando & Glenn) get so excited when we think about the goals we have set and how we will share them with you! More podcasts, goal setting workshops, and our book and some speaking engagements are around the corner.
I hope you want what we want – a better future, a better life, self improvement and motivation and a great 2010!

Some quotes from the book “Developing the Leader with you” by John C. Maxwell
On the chapter on Attitude:
“The pessimist complains about the wind
The optimist expects it to change
The leader adjust the sails”
“The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That’s the day we truly grow up.”
Read that last quote a couple of times then let it sink in for a while. It is deeper than you might realize.
Thanks for reading!

What’s ironic is that those who don’t have the courage to take risks and those who do, experience the same amount of fear in life. The only difference its that those who don’t take chances worry about trivial things. If you’re going to have to overcome your fear and doubts anyway, you might as well make it count.
Eleanor Roosevelt acknowledged, “You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” -The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader
So do something today – something you are afraid of – and find the courage to take risks!
Thanks for reading!
