How To Get Back On Track

Picture

 ​Have you ever been so out of it that you forget how to do the thing you had been doing? Your routine that you had the day that you got things going and you started the new year were working out and then maybe take a little trip or vacation, something happens in the family or any distraction or you know you’re trying to do something new you started a habit you went 21 days and then just life happens. Your boss wants a little bit more, your family demands little bit more, your life demands a little bit more these thigns sidetracks just a little bit but you haven’t forgotten about your decision to do something better with yourself, your life or something in the area of your life your family. Like me have ever been there?

I’m gonna give you some tips of what that would really help me to kind of stay on track and re-engage myself when I was so distracted. I just wrapped a training on consistency and this was reminded of the steps I would take. What I did would reset my sites low meaning when I got started with the new habit what did I do purposely to kind of get started? Whatever was easiest, one would say what ever made me feel good, but I moved towards that direction. 

So for instance if I was to work out and want to get in shape or healthy fit, the first thing I would do is make my mind to walk through the doors of the gym. It wasn’t to work out for an hour or lift for an hour and a half or go to an aerobics class it was just basically can I walk in the door of the gym, literally pull my car into the parking lot, park, get out of my car and walk to the gym open door and step in.(Success)

What sometimes I think people do is forget that it’s a long term race. If you have to decide it’s something long-term that you’re committed to this thing over the long-haul, good! This is not that you’re trying to get something done in 21 days or 30 days or 60 days(short term goals are fine) like I’m gonna lose the 20 pounds but if you say to me you know what over the course of my lifetime it could take me a year, could take me two years to get there, could take me three years I’m committed to this thing long-term. Saying, “I made a decision back in January or back in March, February whatever it is I made a decision to make myself better to do it. I need to make a priority my finances or family relationships or health or whatever it is you made a decision. I consider it a long-term decision so if you get the derailed or you get disrupted or you get knocked off your consistent effort. 

Listen, go back to what’s easiest start the thing that was easy is it easiest to start and that made you feel good do that thing.

So I encourage you take the guesswork out of your success and do the things that got you there in the first place, stick to the basics. Go back to the basics so when you’re derailed, that you lock into the consistent effort. It’s OK, it’s OK to make mistakes, just jump back up and just get started again do the simplest task that’s right in front of you..

​God bless you maximizers and thanks for your attention-Coach Milton

Sabotaging My Own Success

Picture
It wasn’t too long ago I would allow myself to give up, run away or hide from my success. Now I didn’t realize I was actually doing that till after some reflection and counseling.

See I had overcome some obstacles in being successful on the football field and graduating from college, but for some reason that hard work and conquering challenges didnt easily translate to the business or professional world.

Call it I was out of my element, call it I was running from confrontation, call it I was afraid of the hard work. It was a mixture of a few things. The one thing I recall from those experiences, was that I had gotten used to being celebrated in other arenas. I had to come to the grip that an injury and sickness kept me from moving on to the pro level. So I was mourning and had to adjust.

The hardest realization is that I had to look in the mirror and be totally honest with the fact that I was sabotaging my own success. And listen I wanted to be successful I wanted to be totally successful but I was holding myself back and at this point it really really was ticking me off.

If I can say one thing today to encourage you to give you the freedom to let go of the past and anything else that’s sabotaging your success please listen to me. I want to see you be the greatest person that you could possibly be while alive on this earth, be better every single day.

Thanks for listening- Coach Milton

How to live a purposeful life

Picture
It was a time when I didn’t know that I could do it, I mean really do it. It clicked in my head and heart when I realized I had a real shot to play in the NFL. I was a little too husky still, and still a lot out of shape. I was sitting there looking at the TV and I felt something speak to me , “go for it!” A whisper, an inspiration , that still small voice that at that moment gave me the courage and erased all my doubts and fears about , “What if’s” or “what about” or “can I really.” All it took was that one moment and everything changed. It literally went from my head to my heart.
I wish that I could tell you that from that point on everything worked out smoothly. HaHa I’d be lying and also shortcutting your progress and journey. It was a journey full of pain, heart break, battling with consistent doubt, some negative folks, and the desire to want to quit at times.
Here is where I encourage you, the one thing that kept me on task and on purpose was , are you ready for it? “It was consistent action.” Yep, you heard me right , it was my consistent action. If I wasn’t working on my stamina or strength, I was watching film, or reading magazines, news paper articles in the sports section or taking about it with family and friends. The dream of playing in the NFL consumed me.
So, how do you live a purposeful life? You take that passion you have built up inside of you and you take daily action, real action! You won’t get there over night and I hope you don’t think it will happen overnight. The biggest reason I hope it doesn’t happen over night is that the journey has so many obstacles and challenges and tools for you to develop and grow and the process of growth will benefit you in so many areas of life. Believe Me.
Get after your passions daily- Coach Milton

Be the better person..

Picture

One of my main topics is speaking about Moments, moments will come into your life fast and furiously. Moments show up in the form of your child looking for attention. If can come in the form of a spouse needing some up lifting. It can come in the form of a crucial conversation in business or work or at home. However the moment comes and its not up to us to decide what kind of moment we can call upon. It is up to us to maximize that moment when it comes.
I was confronted by a client recently about the service that we provided and it wasn’t good. But it was a learning point. The learning point was for me and my team and its up to us to take it and grow. I wanted to give you three reminders of why the high ground is so important when engaging with others in relationship.
Take the High Road
  1. Your reputation is at stake
  2. You keep the bridge of relationship in tact
  3. It gives you room to think and be proactive
What do you want to be remembered for and known for when you come to the end of your life? This is a question you can face on a periodic basis because , life has a way of holding a mirror up to you and it gives you two choices , to be the person you know to be , or to the one you don’t want to be.s
Every relationship needs a bridge for both parties to cross, and if you really care about people, leave that bridge in tact. At times you or the other person will walk away or make the effort to meet you on the other-side. After all its relationships that stand forever.
Reactive or proactive, which are you? When its your relationships which do you lean to and are you aware of the consequences of both. It can come with time and experience, but I’d rather you have those experiences and grow from them than to not and have no hope for a better future for yourself and others.
Hope this helps you today Maximizer, now go a be the person that takes the high road.
