The Answer Key

Take ownership of sweeping around the welcome mat of your life. Everyone that needs something or could benefit in some way from you is not necessarily for you so choose wisely.  Make deliberate investments in people and things that you believe in. Being selective about your investments is a matter of protecting yourself: your resources, your energy, your time. Draft people into your circle that you can trust, confide in, and rely on just as much as you meet those expectations for them.  There is nothing wrong with being choosy about the benefactors of your investments. It can be a risky business, some of them may or may not pan out, but you will at least have made the choice to be or not to be involved.   Eliminate any relationships that feel one-sided, fake, phony, or forced.  Your draft is directly connected to the fullness of your life so remember that you have the option to pass, opt-out, and walk from the table where you are not being best served.

Be conscious of who you expose, exhaust, or invest your gifts and awesomeness in. When giving yourself away be aware of who, what, and why first and that you may be pouring into an empty well. Just because you have the knowledge, ability, or convenience (which is often simply assumed by the other party) does not mean you are required to do anything despite what may be expected. Your awesomeness is best served concentrated. Sprinkling like confetti sounds good but can feel more like spreading yourself too thin.  All the time, intellect, and energy you spend is immeasurable because those are the most valuable commodities you possess and can not be recouped. Therefore, when in doubt choose what is best for you, what you love, what you can be proud of and invest in yourself; you will never be disappointed. ~For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me @_TheAnswerKey daily!

Decide that you will find the opportunity, possibility, and probability that life is handing you the key to success, happiness, and fulfillment through every experience. Be, do, and seek the practices, things, and people that multiply the positivity in your life. Take every moment in stride; choose to believe in a future that showers your path with light under all circumstances even when you are in the rain. Keep walking, love every forward motion as an individual blessing. Even when it is most difficult to find, determine what you are being gifted in each moment, even if it is just a stormy soundtrack to walk to. Refuse to be slowed down by any negativity that presents itself. Remember to seek the positive possibilities under all circumstances; that will always minimize your burdens and multiply your joy. Make the most of each moment you are in and make the experience worth the life and energy you give to it. ~For more positive posts stop by fb.me/TheAnswerKey & tweet me @_TheAns

Dream of where you want to be and the steps you will take to get there. Start with small goals for your big dreams, and remember that success takes time, but most importantly, it takes your consistent effort. Everyday, do the best you can with the 24 hours you have been given. Accomplishing small goals creates a trend and provides the drive to success. Remember that the path to success lies in your daily habits. Make choices that bring you closer to your goals, and eventually make your dreams a reality. "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit," says Aristotle. Start a new success-driven habit for yourself today. ~For more positive posts stop by fb.me/TheAnswerKey & tweet me  @_TheAnswerKey daily!
