“Live your best life now.” ~ the title of a Joel Osteen book

Good morning!

As we enter a new month, it is the perfect time to revisit the progress we are making toward achieving our goals.  Often life has the ability to get in the way of the goals we want to achieve in life.  We get sidetracked, or discouraged, or we hit a plateau.  But we must remember:  We don’t have to stay there.  We are in control of our own story.  What will your August chapter hold?

Your Turn:  At the start of August, review your goals.  If you have not been using the three-step action list diligently, begin today.  What do you want to accomplish by the end of August?  By the end of this year? Write your goals down.  Research shows that writing your goals down increases your odds of success by over 70 percent.  Make a commitment to yourself to step forward each day this month.  You are worth it.

Today’s Affirmation: Each day, I take a step forward toward reaching my goals.

 And as always, don't forget to start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is going to happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"

And when ending your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do to make today matter?
