What are you telling yourself?

“It's not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life, it's what you whisper to yourself that has the most power!” Robert T. Kiyosaki
Sometimes I wonder why things seem to fall apart and then I realize it's because I didn't really believe in what I was doing. I was going at it half-heartedly, not putting forth my best effort - letting distractions keep me from focusing. I have found if I just take a break and re-focus I can usually accomplish the task properly or totally go in a new direction.  Another life lesson for me is being able to make a change when needed. Change is noisy and inefficient as well as it takes time. But the rewards can be huge. I make a living basically selling my time, so time is quite valuable to me...but I still have to take the time to do things right or make the changes needed and not take shortcuts. Easier said than done but I am learning. Who says old dogs can't learn new tricks?
