A friend of mine sent me a quote that made an impact on both my personal and professional goals. I hope that it helps you achieve your goals when you want to:
- improve your communication skills
- reduce conflict in the workplace or home
- modify your exercise, eating or sleeping habits
Whatever keeps you from reaching your goals today had better be important – it’s costing you a day of your life!
What about your communication goals?
Have you kept silent with someone at work or home because he or she may get mad at you? If so, what is this costing you? Do you lose sleep over this or feel like you will erupt like a volcano? John Lennon said, “Being honest might not get you a lot of friends, but it will always get you the right ones.” I have learned the importance of being honest and plan out communication strategies before I actually have tough conversations. I do get a better night’s sleep because I was honest and shared my thoughts in a constructive way. It is not about winning or losing…it is about expressing yourself directly and respectfully. Things don’t always work out, but at least the other person knows where I stand and I feel good that we had this tough conversation.

How to modify your exercise, eating or sleeping habits?
I placed the quote on a vision board and I noticed some positive things happen. I love sugar. Sugar is not healthy. We all know that. BUT desserts seem to call out my name. I started looking at the quote a few times a day.
Whatever keeps you from reaching your goals today better be important – it’s costing you a day in your life!
This quote reminds me that eating something sweet may seem good at the time BUT it will have an negative impact on my overall health.
What about you? What do you need to modify to become as healthy as you can?

Claudia, your quote is so interesting. It is amazing how much energy we generate when the team works well together. Of course the opposite is true also when there is NO energy. Please send me your snail mail address to Joyce@JoyceWeiss.com so I can send you your booklet. Thanks and please continue to respond. I love connecting with my readers.
