It is hard to believe that June is here! I LOVE summer. Of course I always get excited about the new season. It provides the variety and fresh perspective I need to be my best. I love the four seasons and couldn't imagine life without them.
When I look around me I see the fresh cut Roses on the table next to me. I smell the strong scent of Honeysuckle drifting through the window. These are all part of a support system I've designed to nourish and strengthen me.
What can you do today to strengthen your support system? Think about it and then follow-up!

Get off the Bench and Play Full Out
We've come to the end of another week. Did you put it to good use? What were your challenges and what were your successes? Did you move closer to your goals? Did you get the results you said you wanted? Take a deep breath and check in with yourself. How do you feel about the way you invested your time and energy this week?
If you did not end your week feeling like a winner, you may have set yourself up to lose. Follow-up Friday is the day we review our week for what worked and what didn't. What you accomplished, and what you didn't. Some weeks are better than others but every week we discover something new about ourselves. Did you play full out this week or did you sit the bench? How do you play full out? By having something to play for. Something at stake. Something meaningful to you. A good place to start is with a goal in mind. Goals are fickle and they need lots of attention in order to sprout and become something beautiful. How much thought do you put into planning your week? Do you blindly jump into Monday morning and hope for the best? If so, then congratulations because you got the results you wanted this week, which is to say you were willing to settle for anything so anything is an accomplishment. Truly, I say this with the upmost respect because I have lived many weeks this way. You simply can't fail but are you truly satisfied? Is it time to make a change?
"For things to change you've got to change. Otherwise, nothing much will change." -Jim Rohn.
In the book, The Power of Focus, co-authored by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, there are six reasons listed for procrastinating:
1. You're bored.
2. You are overwhelmed with work.
3. Your confidence has slipped.
4. You have a low self-worth.
5. You are doing work you don't really enjoy.
6. You are easily distracted, or just downright lazy!
Does any of this sound familiar? Whatever your reason for sitting the bench, let's get you up and moving. Focus this week on what's in your way. What tasks, projects, conversations, chores, etc, are you putting off? How would you feel if they were all handled? What do you need to do to make that happen? Ask for help? Delegate? Roll up your sleeves and apply some elbow grease?
What would happen next week if you made the choice to play full out? Would you experience more passion, joy, peace? Are you willing to find out? If so, you are invited to get off the bench and into the game this week, and be sure to reach out and let me know how your game is going!

Playing IS Winning
You have everything you need to create what you want to do, be and have in your life. Do you believe this? I do. You have the power within you to live your best life right now by being exactly who you are today. The good news is you do not have to change. The challenge is that you must believe in yourself and your ability to create what you want in your life with passion and purpose. This is what I call a sweet victory.
At the beginning of the week we each set out to practice living our best life at work and at home by writing down our goals and intentions, charting a course, and stepping out in faith. How did it go? Did you take the time to chart your course for the week and did you use your map to keep you on track? Did you follow-through? What still needs to be done? Who still needs to be called? What promises still need to be kept?
Each week you get to go out in the world and practice living your best life. Sometimes you'll win and sometimes you won't but you will learn so much about yourself just by your willingness to show up and play.
If you aren't satisfied with your results, I invite you to join the Sweet Victories group at www.mylifecompass.com/coachvickiz. Once you sign up I will send you the link to our online group. It's free, interactive and fun. You'll get the support and inspiration to keep playing your best life all week. In the meantime, follow-up today and enjoy your sweet victories.
Come Monday morning you will have an opportunity to begin a new week, and I invite you to show up and play full out. For now, follow-up and celebrate your sweet victories.

What Do You Want?
What do you want out of life? That is a big question, isn't it? Most people feel overwhelmed by it, and it can takes years to figure out. The reason this question is so challenging is that what we want out of life changes through the years, and sometimes from season to season or month to month. I'm going to give you a challenge today: Do not go another day without beginning the process of identifying your core values, because once you do this, what you really want will begin to become clear. Get started now by accessing the first five days of Step Into Balance at http://www.mylifecompass.com/articles/18 . Step Into Balance is one of many coaching programs offered by Compass. For membership information or to connect with me on the Personal Development Network visit www.mylifecompass.com/coachvickiz. You have everything you need right now to be, do or have anything you want. Believe it!
