There is power in numbers. Teamwork makes the Dream work. No matter how you heard it, there is truth to these statements. Find a Mastermind group and find one fast. When working on a goal or dream, nothing will speed up accomplishment like a Mastermind group. A mastermind group is a group of individuals that come together to share their goals and dreams and help each other achieve them. This is done through support, accountability, guidance, sharing knowledge, experiences and reflections. Think of it as your support group for accomplishing your goals. Just Google mastermind groups in your local area and find one that suits your needs, and if there isn't one near you then this would be a great opportunity to start one.

In 1,825 days we will closely be approaching the year 2020. Another decade will have passed and hopefully we can say that it's been the best years so far. What will you be proud of approaching the year 2020? What opportunities might have been missed? There are 1,825 days in every 5 year period and I hope there is a plan for the next 5 years. In 5 short years you can RE-INVENT yourself, RE-CREATE yourself, even RE-PURPOSE yourself. The person you are today is not the person you will be in 5 years.

Run for life.......... This morning as I ran and thought about how running mirrors life, I couldn't help but smile from the inspiring lesson I was taking in. My run usually begins as a slow trot just trying to get moving, then progresses into a smooth cruising pace, encountering a few challenging hills along the way, with a few moments feeling like an Olympic athlete, then finally a look back at my accomplishment and a great feeling of endorphin filled success. Life seems to mimic this process, but we must feel and listen to life as we do our body during a run. The slow trot is needed, much like learning to walk, read, and learning about what it is we want to become someday. Those years mold us, shape us and prepare us for the progress we will experience during the cruising years. We must stay aware and know that this is the time to learn and make things happen. Yes we will encounter some uphill battles and surprise challenges along the way, but those moments build us into our be...

Kids always remind us that challenges are to be conquered not feared. A recent trip to the park resulted in a myriad of successes observed in one place. It seems the playground, with its massive slides, climbing structure, and spinning apparatus is the ultimate place to experience success. Kids take on each challenge with the expectation of conquering each one, not the fear of failure or disappointment. Perseverance is a must, not just a thought.  It's amazing to watch these little guys succeed at their level, and we can learn a lot about how to handle are own grown up challenges.  Take these tips from the kids. Persevere, do not fear. Conquer at all costs, and by all means have fun doing it. Jorge Success-initiatives.com
