Frienemy!!!
I love this term. I like thinking of making up words often or is it that I just start talking so fast I merge them together, ha!
It's like Pressuristic... a great combination of a Pressured Scenario that is Realistic :)
On this note, I was watching a movie and I think it was My Best Friends Wedding and I think they used this term.
It got me to thinking a month or so ago about it and I wrote it down in my journal. I always like going back and going through my old notes; but this one I didn't have to. It's been on my mind since I wrote it down.
Everyone needs friends; but sometimes we need to have our friends not be so friendly and be a little more like our enemies. Lets say an enemy with our best interests in mind. It is because they care about us so much that they call us on our weaknesses in body, mind, spirit and most definitely choices.
On that note though is that if you don't have a Frienemy, then you need to become your own. This can be pretty tough and it has to start with doing something extremely important. You have to write your own mission statement. I know, crazy right!!! Sounds all corporate and stuff huh?!
Well lets change it and say you need to write a Personal Mission Statement. This I always look at as the thing you want to do with your life. The thing that you live for everyday. For me, it is when I am no longer around, what will people say about me.
Do this as your first step and the next will be much easier.
Be your own Frienemy and be sure that all your decisions from your "to do list" to your "cross roads" always get made in your Personal Mission Statements best interest.
Get crackin or I guest I should say get writing and lets see if it makes a difference with the choices you make. Be your own Frienemy or find a friend to be your enemy and hold your responsible.

Fun of Goal Setting
You know it is funny to see so many goals get set and so many no get met...
This year is (always) going to be different :)
I like the old Advocare tag one year... C2C - Choose to Change!!! This goes hand in hand with what Brian Tracy writes in the Rule of Choice. The true power that we have to change is amazing.
This goes hand in hand with our recent Goal Setting Seminar for Kids. It was amazing!!! This is probably now one of my most favorite things to teach every year. The children came out and drilled their material. They set their goals with their parents help. They discussed a plan to achieve it with several Action Steps. They even discussed what might hold them back from achieving it!!!
Afterwards the parents wrote the goal on one side of the board and on the other the bad habit or thing that might hold the child back. Pure AWESOME!!!
Now each child lined up and had to break through the side that had the bad habit listed on it. This of course symbolized the fact that if they broke the bad habit or defeated what held them back, then maybe, just maybe they could actually achieve the goal written on the other side. How amazing is that???!!! Absolutely AMAZING!!!
I'll try to add some clips of it in the near future because this kind of an event can really get you to thinking. If I follow my action steps and stick to my plan I can do IT!!!
Well my friends, I am sticking to my plan of push ups everyday... grrr Wednesday was pretty tough but today is oh so different. I'm about to finish 600 for the day!!! How is your goal Achieving going??? Plan your work and work your plan, because after all there are only two things in this world. Results and Reasons. Well reasons don't really add up and count so get busy. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help. If we can't directly, then we will be more than happy to direct you on a path that should. Keep your eyes on the road and you will ge THERE!!! Guro Larry

10,000 Push Ups & Beyond!!!
Lets talk about Goal Setting!!!
Lets talk about all the things that can be!!!
Lets talk about Goal Achieving!!!
Ok so, I'm not a rapper but maybe a ranter.
My rant today has to do with Goal Setting... because the Goals YOU set are the Goals you GET!!!
Now there are Long Term and Short Term Goals. In this case I wanted to share with you this amazing feeling that I had the other day.
Now one of my short-term goals is pretty simple (Grin). I would like to achieve 10,000 Push Ups by January 31st!!! I know, seems like a lot right? Well there are several steps that must happen. These steps are most important to getting started and to following through with your goals.
#1 - Pick something you want to achieve and WRITE IT DOWN!!!
This makes your dream a reality by being written down on something tangible.
EXAMPLE - 10,000 Push Ups!!!
#2 - Set a Deadline or Day and Time that you want to achieve it.
This gives it a sense of urgency and time to make it happen.
EXAMPLE - By January 31st, 2009!!!
#3 - Create a Plan with Action Steps to make it happen.
This has to happen in order to take the steps to achieve it.
EXAMPLE - 10,000 / 31 Days = 323 (roughly) Push Ups per day!!! Now my plan actually involves doing less per day and building up to 323+ to compensate in the later weeks.
#4 - Tell Everyone About IT!!!!
This keeps you honest and gives you the extra motivation so that you have to prove your words right.
EXAMPLE - Well I've been telling my students about it. I'm telling you here, and I've even begun telling others in different customer service areas that I have visited.
Here is something pretty cool, by telling so many of these people, I have noticed a new fire in their eyes. The kind of spark that says they are ready to go achieve their goals too. Very cool!!!
Speaking of achieving your goals, you know the old saying... "it's not the end result but it's the journey or process to get there"? Well I've been doing about 150 push ups a day prior to January 1st. They all felt the same. Just push ups.
What was different was when I did my first set of 150 push ups in January. Now those felt completely different. So much that I was up lifted to a completely different plain. These push ups were not just regular push ups. They were the one's that counted towards something bigger. Oh what a feeling!!! These were they ones that counted towards my big goal, 10,000 push ups!!! Too bad we don't always think that way about our every day tasks huh?
Take these Simple Action Steps and you will have a chance to make it to your Goals. Now that is called Achievement. I'll see you at the Finish Line!!!
