Picture Perfect

"Perfection, is an illusion" - Dr. Donna Thomas-Rodgers

Have you ever scheduled an appointment to take a photo?

The day arrives and something always goes wrong, the lights are too bright, you don't hold your head quite right, your smile is slightly off, your shirt collar was bent, etc.

The question is what do you do with those bad photos? You delete them and you keep taking the picture over and over, until it's perfect; "Picture Perfect."

There is a flaw with focusing on being Picture Perfect, it is not real. Nothing in life will ever be perfect. So stop trying to be perfect.

Focus on becoming your best.

Becoming your best requires that you understand, there will be people who don't support you and do not share your passion. Know that obstacles will occur and you will need to navigate through all of them. This means that you may fail a thousand times before you get it right. You may hear 20,000 "NO's" before you hear the "Yes" that will be the tipping point for your business. What matters most, is that each day your mindset is to "Win" because being "Picture Perfect" only last for a nanosecond.

Make it Powerful Day!

The Freedom in Giving Up

"If the little engine can do it so can you!" Dr. Donna Thomas-Rodgers

It is so easy to give up. You really need to do nothing at all. There is no accountability, responsibility, or agility. You simply decide each day to fail. You make excuses and then you ask for pity as to why you cannot and will not accomplish your dream.

When you give up you are bound. That is a fact. You are prisoner to your situation and there is no parole and you will never be free.

I am convinced that no person truly intends on giving up they simply do not believe in their own abilities. In their minds life has dealt them a bad hand. Circumstances have caused them to be in a bad place. It really is nonsense in the end.

Take back control of your life and try and try and try until you succeed. That is true freedom.

Make it a powerful day!

Would you?

Would you walk through a burning building just for a thrill?
Would you pull your heart from your body to see if it will hurt?
Would you take all of your money and throw it into the street?
Would you pour acid down your throat and wonder if you could digest it?
Would you go to the office and lay on top of your desk and sleep for 8 hours?
Would you spend 40 hours a week staring at a folded moving box?

Of course the answer to all of the questions above are NO.

What is your answer to the questions below:

Do you constantly find yourself caught up in drama, or heated situations?
Do you fall in love every other month with a no good loser?
Do you party, shop and entertain well beyond your economic limit?
Do you consume, food and beverages that harm your body?
Do you go to work everyday and accomplish abosloutely nothing?
Do you spend hours upon hours each week watching teleivison?

Change your habits, change your life, follow your dreams.

Internal POWER

" The difference between success and failure begins on the inside" Dr. Donna Thomas-Rodgers

Have you often wondered what drives a person?


What causes someone to lose control and yet another person to stay focused and achieve their dreams?

Why does someone say yes to drugs, alcohol, death and destruction?

Yet another peron chooses a life filled with love, good health, success and happiness?

Why are someone people poor and yet others are Multi-Millionaires?

Why does someone drop out of high school and others earn Ph.D's?

The answer is simply: Internal POWER.

Make it a POWERFUL day!

NO Looking Back

"You can't drive forward looking through the rear view mirror; focus on where you are going, not where you have been" Dr. Donna Thomas-Rodgers

When you are focused on accomplishing a goal it is easy to get bogged down in the day-to-day work. When challenges arise you want to retrace your steps and begin to calculate risk. Pursuing a goal is like comepting in track and field. Looking back is not effective.

In track and field while running when you look backwards it affects your time. In sprinting events each time you look behind, you will lose two steps. This is crucial as it can mean the difference in winning and losing a race.

As you focus on achieving success, you do not have time to keep looking backwards. You need to focus on where you are going and not on where you have been. It takes discipline, mental toughness and daily focus to move forward no matter what is going on around you.

Keeping your eyes set on your destination will ensure that you win!

Make it a POWERFUL day!

Your POWER Box

"Your success is derived from your ability to draw from your POWER" Dr. Donna Thomas-Rodgers

Have you ever been at home and the lights go out in one room? You instantly go to the circuit breaker box and you flip the circuit back to the on position. You perform this task without even thinking about it, in fact it is second nature for you.

Did you know that you also have an internal POWER box? When one area of your life is not fully charged you need to go to your POWER box and flip the switch. Your life is just like the circuit breaker box in your home. When one area is out of POWER turn the POWER back on immediately, make it second nature.

Don't let a POWER outage stop you from achieving your dreams.

Make it a POWERFUL day!
