Yes, mantras are corny... BUT... they make a difference!!! "You find what you look for"... if you start your day with negative thoughts, you will only notice the negative... if you start your day with no direction of thought, your mindset will be controlled by the people and events around you... BUT, if you start the day with a deliberate thought, a thought of improvement, you will find opportunities for improvement throughout your day. "You find what you look for"... so, start the day looking for what you want to find!!!

To be a great trainer, to be a great person, you must be aware of your reality and the reality you expect of others. Often we get frustrated with other people for not living up to the standard we expect, but, too often we are blind to the ways in which we, ourselves, don't live to that standard. Yes, you may not make the mistakes "they" make, but, you still make mistakes of your own. Listen to this podcast to learn how to address this "expectations issue" and how to use your own struggles to help others through theirs.
