I've always loved that line spoken by Clint Eastwood from the "Dirty Harry" movie - and so have many others.
And, yet, it actually goes against everything that I have been promoting and talking about for these past eight months or so. We CANNOT wait for someone else - or something else - to make our day! It is up to US - you and me - to make that happen in our own lives. Don't you agree?
I mentioned on today's podcast about a sign I saw one morning while watching a small segment of one of the national morning network news shows. I had just watched my local weather and the programming came back to the "crew" standing outside with people behind the barricades holding up signs. You've seen what I'm talking about, right?
One particular man held up a sign that asked people to go to his blog and to tell him what they wanted him to do for that day.
WHAT????? Are you kidding me?
Now, I do understand that he is trying to get attention for his blog, but what a miserable way to live your life - waiting for others to tell you what they want you to do. Waiting on someone else go "make your day" instead of YOU choosing to LIVE your day!
It's easy for us to point our fingers at a situation like that. It's easy for us to say, "Wow, how silly is that!" But, it's not always so easy for us to look inward and realize that many of us are doing the exact same thing in our lives.
Yes, I understand that you likely have a boss. Yes, I understand that there are certain things that you HAVE to do in order to keep your job. Yes, I understand that it is important for you to keep your job. I really do understand all of this, but may I remind you of a few things?
Even if your job is drudgery and you hate it - you can be having a "happy party" on the inside! No, really - I mean it! You see, we may be "controlled" concerning our physical activities during the day while on the job - but our soul, spirit and mind are FREE!
And, the more you fill those "pieces" of your being with POSITIVE thoughts - the easier it is to make it through even the toughest days!
"They" cannot control your thoughts - those positive thoughts - that can keep a smile on your face even during the toughest parts of your day! "They" cannot control your thoughts knowing that you are working on bettering your life to the point that, one day, you will be able to walk away from this situation! "They" cannot control what you do to fill your life full of peace and joy once you are away from the job.
Remember..."Never give up. Never give in. Never surrender!"
Do not be broken to the point that you are just a "machine" going through the motions waiting for the next thing that you are told/directed to do.
Step out of those dark shadows and allow the sun to shine on your face for, YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE!
No, that's not just a bunch of hype! I believe it to be 100% true!
Let me quickly share something personal that happened to me within the last hour. I just got off of a very frustrating phone call that really discouraged me concerning a project in which I am involved. Now -I HAVE A CHOICE! I can allow this to "burn" in me all day long and "ruin" my day OR I can CHOOSE to move on with my day and filter our the frustration with my POSITIVE deposits! I could even allow this to impact me to the point that I "quit" on this project and play the "blame game" as to why I did so.
However, I choose to move forward, committed to this project and the powerful things that I know it will bring to my life and the lives of others. IT'S A CHOICE!
It's YOUR choice!
So....Go ahead, make YOUR day!
And, as always...
"Make it an AWESOME day! (Who else is going to do it for you?)"
"Your most important education takes place on the campus of your mind" This blog goes hand in hand with my podcasts to aid you in the process of keeping your mind FOCUSED on the POSITIVE that is all around us!

Will YOU Pass Up FREE MONEY???
You've seen this before IF you've read my notes - but this is something that, if you pass it up, someone should pop you up side your head! Seriously!
BLASTOFF is coming and it is going to be HUGE! And, the key thing is that it is FREE for your use and it is also a FREE way for you to get money from those that get their BLASTOFF page from you. YES, it IS free!
Check out my BLASTOFF page here: http://www.BlastoffTrain.com
How do I already have my BLASTOFF page even though you won't be able to sign up on my page until October 12th? That's the other part of the puzzle that may or may not be for you --- but it's an incredible opportunity! (No, you don't have to involve yourself in this part in order to get and use BLASTOFF...but why wouldn't you? By doing so you also get another 10 degrees for a total of 20.)
What am I talking about with all of this?
Honestly, the BEST way for you to get a good idea about both BLASTOFF and the other opportunity and how they can work together is to view this approx. 25 minute video - believe me, it will be worth your time.
http://www.livecompanyoverview.com/
DON'T MISS THIS POINT! This BLASTOFF thing is going to be SO huge - you DO NOT want to miss out on getting in at the start....it's free...it's fun...and you will be able to sign up through my page starting October 12th.
Questions? Comments? Want to know more? Just simply get back to me.

Positive Fuel for Your Fire (with guest, Joe Hazen)
Hey friends - are you THANKFUL for today and all of the things that makes this day special in your life?
Are you THANKFUL for those special people in your life that add flavor to each and every day?
Are you THANKFUL for the fact that you are ALIVE and BREATHING and, that being so, are you also THANKFUL that you are living a life with HOPE?
In today's podcast I introduce you to my friend, Joe Hazen from Albany, New York. Now, if you have a hard time figuring out which one is Joe in the picture - I CAN'T HELP YOU! But the two lovely ladies are Joe's daughters (Amy on the left, and Danielle on the right). I wanted to be sure to put a FACE with the name and the voice that you hear on today's podcast.
I will be featuring Joe in a special SATURDAY podcast in which Joe shares an opportunity that he is involved in and loves. This will be a GREAT OPPORTUNITY for you as well to hear about something that may or may not be for you! Thing is - why not spend a little time and listen in so that you can decide that for yourself? It will be a bit longer than my normal 11 minute podcast that I do on Monday - Friday, but I think it will be worth the extra time that you spend to listen.
On today's podcast, Joe and I discuss the importance of personal development and the NEED - more correctly said, NECESSITY - that we all have to infuse our lives with positive influences.
I call it, "Positive Fuel for Your Fire" - and that's exactly what it is!
Joe is just a normal guy - like you and me. He has his ups and downs, his good days and his bad days. He has his days when he is thinking right and keeping the negative influences away from him and then, just like all of us, he has those days when those negative influences are a little harder to battle.
But, as we discuss in the podcast - CONSISTENCY is the key to winning ANY battle! Yes, you may miss a day or two where you don't "fuel up"...but, just like an automobile, you can't go long or far before you will feel the effects of "no fuel". (Ever sat on the side of the road because you ran out of gas?)
So, please, join me in welcoming Joe to the podcast today and, please, feel free to drop Joe a note at the following e-mail address: joe@wannasellfun.com and tell him "thanks" for taking the time to share his thoughts with you today.
Hey, are you fueling YOUR life with the POSITIVE? If not, why not? Think about it!
And, as always...
"Make it an AWESOME day! (Who else is going to do it for you?)"
Mike
