Is being satisfied a goal, why not get better and better? The benefits are obvious!
Hello my dear friends, may I share an observation that applied to me? I bring this subject up because I was watching a YouTube video about a football coach was asked a question, "Are you happy where your team is at?" Coach answered, "It's easy to be satisfied but I feel for the team overall is to strive to get "better and better."
Wow! Now that is "brain stimulating" to me folks. Coach is undefeated and to say there are room to improve. What's there to improve you are already there, I say. Most would smile and say we have reached that mountain top.
Ohh boy with that attitude failure and mediocrity is right around the corner, showing it's ugly head.
Folks give it your all, I know that sometimes the learning part can be a damper. Most will find that the comprehend "what-ever" that might be is beyond their comprehension. Achievements are rewarded to those who work to get better.
You have what it takes, you came here because you saw the "light," did you!??? Yes you did, so you're smart enough to go the distance and then some.
How do I "get-it" you ask?
I look around my WA members websites and believe me I see awesome sites I want to emulate, I know there are room for me to improve. Just look around you there are plenty of examples to prove it.
Be the best you can be and don't stop there!
I know you heard it before in some U.S. military commercial, but it is true go for better. Heck, to feel it's "good enough" is somewhat mediocre. Strive to be the best whatever that might be.The benefits are huge. So easy folks, so effortless just adjust your mindset and "ta-daah!"
You are the best. Now was that hard? Nope!
Would love you hear what you say about this subject. Thank you for dropping by!

And it continues! You got it my brother. Learning is to take it bite sizes. No need to gulp it all down. Sometimes vital points can be easily missed my friend.
You'll be amazed at yourself when you can learn something anything a little at a time.
Tirolith, here is a true example you would agree with me.
Take the first day here at WA and compare yourself now.
Are you the same Tirolith then as you are now.
No way no how. Are you the same as you was back then?
I will say nope! Isn't it exciting my brother!??? Tap yourself on the shoulder, you should be proud of how much you have accomplished.
Take care and be safe, we have crazy drivers on the road. I'm sure you have them too!
Mahalo for responding, nice to see you again!

Thank you for your views. Much appreciate it.

Hello Frank,
Thank you for your excellent blog post. It's very easy to be mediocre in life and just follow the flow, but we really need to push ourselves at times and go several steps further!
The football coach gave a very good and thought-provoking answer.
Enjoy your day.
Roy
Thank you Roy, yes that coach made me post it. I will thank him one day. Naah, not going to he lives in Alabama. I live in Hawaii, anything below 70oF is tundra cold to me. Bbrrrrrrrrrrrr, ouchie cold. lols, but true for me. heehee
Yes Roy, mediocrity has no place in creating our business. Thank you so much for dropping in and sharing you views.
Mahalo and Aloha from Hawaii!

Roy

Friend Linda
Thank you Linda, I am honored and humbled you like it. Yes, I never done this in my previous year here. For some reason, something told me to talk-story with you and WA members.
Again much appreciate you being there my friend! Take care and be safe over the holidays. I know Canadians celebrate differently not much but a little differently. You taught me that....thank you!
Frank
Hello Frank, if you rest on your laurels and strive to become better, things will start to go downhill. Always strive to improve. To use an old martial arts saying “success is like boiling water on a fire. When the is turned off the water (success) starts to cool.”
Hee hee lols, great point. Whatever you learned in martial arts, I like it.
"Success is like boiling water on fire, when the fire is turned off the water (success) starts to cool."
Now that I never heard, but soo dang true Harvey. Nice metaphor.
I can see it in my head. It would take an act of God for me to forget it. lols!!!
GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS ARE JUST WAITING FOR US ALL, WHAT'S NEEDED IS CHANGE OUR MINDSET.
Thanks my brother from a different mother, you rock!
Mahalo and Aloha!

Hi Frank, I am definitely with you on this subject! I thought I only needed the OEC training but was not satisfied with that alone and have begun the boot camp training to boost my knowledge.Thanks for yet another great blog!
Cass
Thank you Cass, I appreciate you dropping in and sharing your thoughts on this one subject. Never satisfied and but strive improve is to me a good personal trait I would hope more people will "get." Be the best you can be is a simple mindset Cass.
Ain't it nice no effort. Keep it part of you and successes are just waiting for you Cass.
Mahalo my dear friend for posting back!
Frank
Great post my friend and it is always great to keep growing, learning and improving- I feel this is a life journey for us
Vicki
So true Vicki, I am grateful I am surrounded by like-minded people such as yourself and others I see here.
Go for the gusto- BE THE BEST THAT YOU ARE!
Mahalo for posting back Vicki, much appreciate it.
Frank
I believe that anything can be a goal and if you set something and you achieve it then it was a goal and if you set to be better each time then that my friend is a goal.
You just gave me something to think about and that is setting goals and achieving them one by one and that is the success in itself.
Mary
Yes setting goals and achieve what you plan. Nice! I couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you so much for dropping by Mary.
Your compliment means so much to me.
Thank you, Mary!
Frank
No worries Frank it is a wonderful post and you are right about setting those goals. Start small and work your way up to bigger goals. It was my pleasure, Frank, I enjoyed reading the post it was great.
Mary
Hey Mary, you're an Ambassador, Just awesome lady!
Sorry you have to put up with me I will follow you. Note; see that "signbanner is following you." That's me.
Don't need to follow me, I am satisfied I follow you!
Frank =)
Too late Frank I am already following you so I don't believe if someone follows me I follow them back in return that is being respectful and polite.
Thank you for the compliment I appreciate that so very much.
Mary
NOTTT! Really! Oh boy, I'm in trouble now. I usually "respectfully" follow someone who say they are following me.
I am sorry, I made an OOPSIE white lie. Honest I didn't know, I must've erased your post. I am guilty of that, much apologies.
Can we be friends....again! I'm begging you! =)))))))))))))))))
Frank =(
No worries yes we can be friends no problem I would like that anyway.
No mistakes and I always follow people back that is just me of course.
Mary
Thank you for forgiving me. That show you have "class."
Here in Hawaii means you have integrity, honesty, etc.
Mahalo and Aloha from Hawaii!
Frank
You are so very welcome and like I said no worries and no mistakes. I am going to like working alongside you. It is going to be an adventure and an exciting journey.
Mary
Good night Mary!
Until later, be safe and watch out for crazy drivers over the holidays.
Frank
Goodnight Frank and you too be careful of these crazy drivers as well. And talk with you soon. Be safe as well.
Mary
Great post, Frank and I agree there is always room for improvement. We are fortunate to find ourselves in a position where success is happening all around us with many opportunities to learn, grow and continue to improve our game:)
All the best to you,
Gina
Thank you Gina, I have found a like-minded friend. True always strive to get better, so easy and simple.
I have seen abused kids and adults in the news,etc. that never can see the light, there are exceptions but to go through these horrible events and can get out of it.
Most don't and that is sad Gina, they go through life not seeing themselves successful and beautiful that they already are because
of circumstances in their lives. So their mindset cannot overcome their bad ordeal.
But to me, even they can get better. They can and I pray those people can do it too.
OK, OK, Gina I'm on a tangent but all I'm saying is there is hope for all to be better no matter what circumstances they are in or was.
Mahalo and Aloha my dear friend for stopping by!
Take care and be safe, we got crazy drivings where I live, I'm sure they are by you too.
OH, and happy holidays my dear friend!
Frank
Frank, I think your words are 100% on point. It takes keeping stimulated to keep improving and that's true of anything we do.
Thank you JV, I see mediocrity everywhere my brother. Hope you're a brother if not sister. Sorry I didn't go check your profile, please forgive me!
All one needs to adjust the mindset, to me JV. There is no effort
just a personal responsibility to yourself. Trust me nobody will make you better, only you.
GO FOR IT FOR THERE IS NOTHING ELSE. Oh in case I forget there is something else, your success.
You and only you can be great. Nobody will do it for you but you!
Take care my friend and thank you so much for enjoying my blog.
It means a lot to me, honest!

Hey Frank, how are you, my brother? I hope all is going well for you.
I don't even mention the C word until we are into December :-) but I do know some people who put up their trees a few weeks ago!
I am currently living in Turkey and C is not celebrated much here, they go more for the New Year's Eve party.
Not sure yet what I will be doing for C day, yet!
Anyway, nice to hear from you, take care and always stay blessed!
Moni
