What I Believe and Why I Believe it.

by ChrisGiesking, posted in Fitness Mindset

My Goal is to Help 10,000 Veterans, more specifically Veterans with PTSD.

My original project was to help myself with problems of survivors guilt.  Learning to let go of the past and focus on the future is difficult, little lone having PTSD symptoms that felt out of control.  In 2015, 3 years after I left the Military, I started to help myself see that I was in control of my thoughts surrounding my past.  What’s done is done, learn from it and move forward.  We all have setbacks and parts of life we would rather not revisit.  But it is all opportunity and growth for what is to come.  Realizing the good that can come from pain and failure is a choice.  The Win the Day Everyday Journal has helped me realize I have a choice everyday and I choose to WIN.

I’m Paying it Forward to my BAND OF BROTHERS, “To The Last Man”

I BELIEVE it’s our DUTY in LIFE to GIVE what we have to OFFER the WORLD.  It’s also my BELIEF that everyone has a PURPOSE.  That Purpose is meant to be “The CHASE” of your very OWN Unique PASSIONS. If you TRULY want to Seek MEANING of YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE.  You MUST TAKE ACTION on the BEST Version of YOU.

BUT,

Unfortunately most people have accepted a discounted version of themselves. Never having the CONFIDENCE to TAKE their DREAM SHOT.  I want to help people change that

Improve 1% (24*7*365 for Life)

You can achieve anything if your willing to put in the work it takes. But sometimes the work you put in isn’t enough.  If your willing to make the sacrifices, willing to fight adversity, willing to make adjustments, willing to fix errors, willing to get back up, willing to show up again and again and learn from every opportunity.
Then, you will achieve it, Period.
This doesn’t require special talent or gifts. It doesn’t include luck or being in the right place. It requires doing the work. Day in and day out.

At the end of the day,  “did I give my 100% and then some.” Because the “and then some” is the difference between knowing you did your best and having regrets.

Set your goals high and improve 1% each day.

Vision becomes Reality

Find that place where your VISION grows into your

“A vision is not just a picture of what could be; it is an appeal to our better selves, a call to become something more.” – Rosabeth Moss Kanter

“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” – Alan Kay

“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside awakens.” – Carl Jung

     Your environment is crucial to your success in whatever it is you want to accomplish.  Take any dream or vision of yours and place it in an environment surrounded by negativity and it will only be the death of that dream. Your environment includes every part of your life. Where you work, where you live, where you exercise, what you eat, what you listen too, what you watch and most importantly who your surround yourself with.

     Find the right environment where your vision grows.  This is a place where you can get work done. This is a place where you can get focused and not be distracted.  This is a place where all your great ideas come to you.  This is a place that may not always be the same location. This is a place where you have your “ah yah” moments. This is a place that offers clarity on this vision and what steps to take next.  This place could be in your mind or a state of mind.  You alone have to take responsibility for your environment.

     Action steps and the raw truth:
1.  Stop making excuses for anything.
2.  Your circumstance is not special or unique. If the other guy or gal can do it, so can you.
3.  Plan your day and work your plan.
4.  Make your own accountability chart and measure your success.
5.  Believe it and work everyday to achieve it.
