Well, hello and welcome to a Make it a great day. The power of positivity. Ryan Lee coming to you live and direct Hope everyone has been well, Had a great weekend recording this on a Monday. My favorite day of the week has so much opportunities in front of us. It's been lost since we've done the podcast. Apologize, Been traveling but excited to get back at it. For those who have been listening, thank you so much. And for those of you that have not welcome and if you like it, tell somebody would really appreciate it. For those of you that have listened, you know what time it is? It's quote time in today's focus is we're gonna be talking about looking ahead and not looking behind. We've talked about presents before, but I really mean about when you start your day, you've seen what's out there for you. Are you worried about what happened yesterday? And the wonderful quote is this. I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust. My sales toe always reached my destination. Jimmy Dean, Great sausage. Great quote, but think about that. I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sales always reach my destination. So in my opinion, what he's basically saying is wind is gonna come where you position yourself to take advantage of that and to get to where you want to be into me. That's about that mindset of thinking about Am I looking ahead or my looking behind? Every day starts off with great opportunity. It's a blank slate, and it's up to you to decide how you want to take advantage of that. Are you thinking about what's impossible on what is out there in front of you? Or you constantly stuck looking in the rear view mirror and wondering about what happened yesterday or the day before that? Where you at now, I think where you're at really matters, because I think you get a chance to either make a dent or just kind of sit there and get stuck, and I really would encourage you to always think ahead. Now it's really simple, and I've been doing something lately that it seems funny, but the way to start my day I've literally been backing my car into my garage so that every morning that I get up and I start my day. I'm looking out forward at that windshield of possibility and going right out there rather than backing out, using that mirror and seeing what's behind me. And I know that sounds simple, but it really is true. If we don't take the time to understand what that possibility is and bring it to action. I don't think that we're gonna have a really fulfilled day or life. We can't change the past. We've talked a lot about that. It is what it iss. We can learn from it, certainly. But what's ahead of us is so powerful, and we think about a head that word, you know, lots of different things and how it means. But to me, one of the things that I think is really good from a definition standpoint is it's further Ford in time in advance and then your future, you're advancing something. You're further Ford in space. It's the line of one's forward motion. You're moving forward. You're making action happen when you think about behind its remaining after someone or something is gone. You know, again we can take that information of what happened. What's in that past, we could learn from it, and at times we might hang for a little bit. But if we're not taking the opportunity to see what's in front of us were missing so much, so how are you starting every day and thinking about what's in front of you on that windshield where you want to go rather than worrying about where you were others again, lots of different tricks. I showcase that car example again, something similar and small, but it puts me in that mindset. I think the other thing is taking the time to meditate. Um, you know, there's some great APS out there that can really clear your mind and put you in that space to become present and think about what that future is. I think you can always write a list when you start that next day you're thinking about what's it forward from us and going through those rather than drilling what's on the past. So it really depends on who you are and what you're up against in regards to your day and how it goes. But one thing for certain is, where's your viewpoint? Where's your advantage? Is it seen? What's out there in front of us or again, isn't worried about what's behind. We cannot change the direction of the wind in life, but we can't adjust ourselves to take advantage of it, use it, learn from it and move forward and let others know the same. Take the time when you see somebody that always seems to be stuck there. Keep talking about what happened the past, past, the past. Hey, pass, It's done. Let's talk about the future. Let's make it happen. We gotta be in the present to do it. But let's see what's possible and not worry about what happened. We have that power in us, and we want to bring that positivity forward. We need to be thinking ahead and not worried about what's behind to again. Find a way to get your sales to take advantage of that wind of life and move on down the line. Thank you again So much for tuning in. I hope this has been informative for you really love these opportunities best. Whether you can push us forward is to let people know if you liked it and again love feedbacks, whatever we can do to improve upon looking forward to hearing that information.
