As I write this… we are currently a little under 2 weeks into the new year.

I know that when most people talk about setting NEW goals and resolutions for the New Year’s… most of the time it’s just a waste of time.

After all… how many times have you heard about the young woman who sets a goal to go the gym 3x a week and lose those extra pounds… only to quit going to the gym 6 weeks into it???

But guess what friend… it doesn’t need to be like that! Goals don’t need to suck… or be something you do that doesn’t work… but you just keep doing it out of habit.

When it comes to learning how to set goals… we have the POWER to set goals which will virtually guarantee us success in almost any area or arena of life that we want to go after!

There are four main areas that we want to learn how to set goals in:

1. Health – Be at a healthy weight, exercise, get good sleep, stop stressing, etc.
2. Wealth – Have the career or the business you seek, save money, build for your future, etc.
3. Relationships – Find that perfect someone, marriage, friends, etc.
4. Spirituality – Prayer, peace, meditation, healing, becoming closer to God.

…and depending on what stage of life you are in — you may need to focus your goals on one of the main areas more than others.

If you haven’t already — make at least 3 to 10 goals this year. Write them on a sheet of paper… and put them in a place where you will see it at least 3x a day.

Look at those goals you set everyday. Feel the excitement of reaching those set goals. If you do those things — you will be virtually unstoppable in this New Year!

Now you know how to set goals — so go make things happen baby!

“Pity the man who inherits a million and isn’t a millionaire. Here’s what would be pitiful,if your income grew and you didn’t.” -Jim Rohn, entrepreneur, author, motivational speaker

–

Hey everybody — it’s Daniel Wiafe, your motivational coach back with some words of inspiration to help you become abundant in your life, wealth, health & relationships.

Today, we will be looking at what the difference is between wealth and being rich.

Just because a person is rich or has more money in their little finger than Scrooge McDuck… doesn’t mean that that person is wealthy.

Wealth defined is, “an abundance or profusion of anything; plentiful amount”

This means that for a person to be wealthy — they need to be an abundant person. Abundance includes money, obviously… but it includes so much more than just money or physical riches.

After all… the only reason why anybody seeks to make a lot of money or to become a millionaire… is because they seek the things that money can buy — which they believe will lead to happiness.

Now if we were to be able to find happiness right now — wouldn’t it make sense for us to focus our #1 thoughts on finding happiness… rather than JUST seeking how to make more money?

Happiness is all about being an abundant person. Being abundant in your relationships and family and being able to spend time with the people you love — and the people that love you!

Being abundant means that you are physically healthy in your body and in your mind… and that you are free from sickness, free from pain, free from depression, stress and worry.

Being abundant means that you have God in your life… and you have a spiritual peace and calm within you and about you… and that you are connected to that greater power that is out there in the universe. Jesus, is my way — and you can read my testimony by clicking here to find out why.

Being abundant means that you do have money… that you do have income coming in… because let’s face it, it is very hard for a person who is broke all the time, and always having their electric and water shut off to feel happy.

Seek to be wealthy in life — and not just rich. The person who is wealthy is well-rounded and balanced. Being rich is just one small aspect of wealth.

“The person who gets the farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.” -Dale Carnegie, Author, lecturer, motivation expert

–

Do you want to go far places in life… and do you want to achieve things that you and your family and friends… could only have dreamed of?

If you answered that question, “YES!”… then you have to make sure that you are willing to start off by doing this one thing.

That one thing is this:

LEARN TO DARE and LEARN TO TAKE CALCULATED RISKS!

…well I guess that’s two things, lol.

But point being… is this. Many people in life take the passive route. But if one truly wants to learn how to go far in life… they must be willing to take chances and calculated risks… and excuse my language, a person must learn to grow some balls and go after what they truly want in life, even if it seems like it is too large of a task for them to accomplish!

Imagine yourself being stranded and deserted on a beach in the middle of the ocean. You were shipwrecked there… and you only have a limited amount of supplies, food and fresh water that will last you 2 or perhaps 3 more weeks… and a small canoe with a paddle.

You realize that your only chance for survival is to hop on that rickety canoe… leave that tiny, insignificant island… and paddle for your freaking life in order to reach the mainland.

Would you be scared to leave the shore? Heck yeah, you would because your leaving safety and your comfort zone!

Is it possible that you could capsize in the canoe while you’re in the middle of the ocean… or get sunburned in the hot, beating sun… or get eaten by sharks or stung by jellyfish on your journey? Yes, that is definitely a possibility…

…but WHAT IF you do reach the mainland? WHAT IF you do reach your destination? Because if you had stayed on the island… you would have died anyways!

WHAT IF you reach you go far in life… and reach your goals or accomplish great things?

At least by hopping out in that tiny boat — you took a calculated risk and gave yourself a GOOD chance for survival and a GOOD chance for reaching your goal!

So what is it in your life that you are willing to leave your “safety zone” for? Your husband? Wife? Children? Your ministry? Travel the world? A new business or venture?

Anything worth having in life… is worth you fighting for… and getting out of your safety and comfort zone.

If we want to know and learn how to go far in life — we must learn to dare and take calculated risks… and leave our comfort zones.

And guess what? You can do it and I BELIEVE IN YOU! You can go far in life and never let another soul tell you differently.

“I believe life is to be lived, not worked, enjoyed, not agonized, loved, not hated.” -Leland Bartlett, speaker & minister

–

Good morning everybody it’s Daniel Wiafe back here again… and I am your motivational coach here to give you some words of inspiration… to help you kick-start this beautiful, new week that we are blessed to be in!

Today… make it a point to remember that your life is to be lived… and to be lived fully.

So many times… we can get so busy with the realities of life… and the work… and the drama… that we lose our imagination and we lose our focus in life on what truly matters.

If you truly think about it… why do we spend a large portion of our lives working at our jobs or in our businesses? For most — it is because we need money to support our life-styles and homes (which is a VERY valid reason to work).

But at the end of the day — in order for us to live this life fully… we have to go beyond just looking at work as something boring and grueling that we must do in life in order to survive.

Look at work as something which will help you finance what you truly want to do in life. Look at it as a means for you to escape to attain the freedom that you desire in having more time to spend with your family and friends.

Life is to be lived fully and to be loved and enjoyed!

While you are working your job… look for opportunities to build side-businesses, such as in internet marketing or real estate investing or other means… that will allow you to create a residual and passive stream of cash coming into your household and life.

And even while you are working hard at your job… whether you love it or hate it… learn to take time to pause and reflect on the beauty of life. Smell the flowers sometime. Live is meant by your Creator to be lived fully. Find time to live in the moment… and spend time with your family… and to enjoy nature.

Some may say that they don’t have any time to do any of these things — but I would beg to differ!

Instead of complaining, watching hours of T.V. at night, surfing the Internet during our lunch hour…. couldn’t we spend time with our family and the people who mean the most to us? Couldn’t we spend time building our business that is going to help us on our journey to financial freedom?

Life is to be lived fully my friend… and to be lived and enjoyed… and you are the captain of your own ship!

“Don’t let anyone, or any rejection, keep you from what you want.” -Ashley Tisdale, actress & singer

–

Good morning everybody… it’s Daniel Wiafe, your personal motivational coach… back with some positive words of inspiration and personal development tips… that will help you to live your BEST life ever!

Today will be looking at Part 2 of a 3 part series which will give you the tools on dealing with rejection… and overcoming rejection.

If you missed yesterday’s post on How to Deal with Rejection… then make sure you read it first… click here now.

.

When it comes down to it my friend… EVERYBODY in life will get rejected at many points in their life… so it really makes sense for us to learn how to effectively deal with rejection… which can come in all shapes and forms.

.

Here are my SECOND set of 3 tips on how you can effectively deal with rejection:

4. Be Confident in Who You Are
People that get severely affected by rejection… are typically people who have lower self-esteem and lower levels of confidence about who they are as a person. When a person has a higher level of confidence about themselves… rejection won’t affect them as badly.

So tip #4 is to build up your confidence in who you are as a person… as a friend… as a child of God… and as a human being. Engage in activities that you are good at and that you love to do. Declare positive affirmations everyday to build yourself up.

.

5. Try and Try Again
Let’s say you are in sales… and keep getting rejected by your potential buyers over and over again. Or perhaps you are taking a test or exam at school and you keep failing it over and over again.

Never give up! Just realize that you are one step closer to reaching your goal. Focus on the positive feelings of accomplishment and joy that you will feel when you finish that task.

.

6. Don’t Take Rejection Personally
When rejection happens to you… don’t take it personal. Don’t think that you are less of a person… or that people don’t like you. Just shake it off.

In fact, you can literally just shake your shoulders around… as a physical sign that you are “shaking off the haters… and shaking off the drama”… to allow yourself to laugh at the rejection… and realize that you have the power to shake off rejection… and not let it affect you!

“A rejection is nothing more than a necessary step in the pursuit of success.” -Bo Bennett, businessman & philanthropist

–

Good morning everybody… it’s Daniel Wiafe, your personal motivational coach… back with some positive words of inspiration and personal development tips… that will help you to live your BEST life ever!

Today… we will be talking about how we can successfully learn how to deal with the feelings of rejection. This will be Part 1 of a 3 part series which will give you the tools on dealing with rejection… and overcoming rejection.

As a human being… we will ALL face rejection at one point or another. Some of us deal with rejection more than others… but just as sure as you breathe… you can count on facing rejection of some sort from friends, family, those you work with, classmates… and even total strangers will sometimes reject you and diss you.

…and depending on what area of life we are rejected by people… and dependent on who those people are and how close they are to us… sometimes the rejection that we are served from that person… can really and truly hurt us and do us great damage to our psyche!

So what do you do when people reject you? Do you beat yourself up?

Do you go lie in a far-off corner… curl into a ball… and complain or give up or cry?

No — the BEST way for you and I to deal with rejection is to accept it… embrace it… and learn from it.

We have to learn how to deal with rejection… in order to become a better person!

Now personally… I could think of a dozen BETTER things to embrace than rejection… but when we learn to embrace rejection (and any other thing that we are fearful of)… then we lessen the pain that it can bring us.

.

Here are my FIRST 3 tips on how you can effectively deal with rejection:

1. Look at Rejection as a Learning Tool.
My old motto is, “What does not kill me only makes me stronger”. Now… I don’t personally know what you will face in life… but I feel that I can confidently speak to you… and tell you that there is NO rejection out there that is strong enough to kill you!

When you are rejected — learn from that experience. What can you do better next time you are faced with that situation? How can you manage your emotions better next time… so that you aren’t as hurt by rejection.

.

2. Rejection Allows You to Grow as a Person.
If you think about it — if we as people never experienced pain in life… we would never grow as people. If we never grew in life… how can we become successful or happy or content with life?

So one way of looking at the painful feelings of rejection in life… is to look at it as a growing opportunity.

If you didn’t grow — your life would probably be dreadfully BOOOOOORING… a real snooze if I may say so!

When people criticize you… put you down… or reject you… it allows you to look internally within yourself… and possibly identify some key areas within you that you may want to change for the better.

.

3. Rejection Can Help You Dodge a “Bad Relationship Bullet”
Okay… I’m married now and have been for the past 7 years… but one thing I will say about myself is I was NEVER a lady’s man in life!

While I was a big flirt and not afraid to talk to girls back when I was younger in my teens and early twenties… I was SO scared to actually approach the ones I had connected with… to seal the deal (ask them on a date, get a phone number).

In fact, LOL… usually it would be the girl who had to ask me out! (don’t laugh at me)

The reason why I was so scared back then was because I would think these awful feelings! What if she rejects me? What if she laughs at me? What if I get straight up embarrassed by her?

Who wants to go through the pain of getting rejected by the opposite sex? Nobody!

But when I look at it now… I believe that God allows certain things to happen for a reason. If that handsome man or that pretty lady you desire does in fact reject you… you can actually look at it as “you just dodged a relationship bullet”.

Because what if this rejection was just God stepping in… and allowing that person to reject you… because at the end of the day… that relationship would have been bad for you and not have worked out.

What if you had gotten into a relationship with that person… and you missed out on your true soul-mate… because you were in a relationship with the “wrong person”?

I CAN DO IT!
I CAN DO IT!
I CAN DO IT!

By repeating these words to yourself over and over again throughout your day… you are inspiring yourself… and you are motivating yourself to accomplish GREAT things… no matter what kind of obstacles you may currently face.

I personally love to repeat this phrase of, “I can do it!” to myself several times a day. I do it at least 3 times a day… and also during the times of the day when I feel kind of crummy or unmotivated… because it helps to get me back on the right path.

When you say, “I can do it!”… don’t just say it weakly or in a manner that you don’t believe in the words that you are speaking.

No… take a step back… throw a HUGE smile on your face… then proudly and emphatically proclaim with all of your heart and spirit, “I CAN DO IT! I CAN ACCOMPLISH ________ (you fill in the blank)! NOTHING WILL STOP ME FROM ACHIEVING ____________ (fill in the blank)! I ALREADY HAVE _______________ (fill in the blank).

Feel the feelings of having actually accomplished and done that thing which you seek to accomplish or attain. Feel the feelings of joy. Feel the feelings of happiness. Feel the feelings of contentment!

This type of positive self-talk is simple, yet POWERFUL and effective.

Have a GREAT day… an awesome weekend… and be blessed by the best! And remember, YOU CAN DO IT!

Motivation comes in all levels… and today I would like to share the story of 27-year-old, Jason Chedid of Sydney, Australia. He left this comment on my daily motivational Facebook page a couple weeks ago.

His testimony is on how he bounced back from the brink of death after a terrible beating he endured… and how he believes it is one of many proofs we can use to strenghten our faith that there is a God up there!

SO without further ado… read Jason’s story below:

–

Daniel, here’s something I’d like to share with you, my testimonial.

To ALL you non-believers of Christ (OR God, to say the least), if you want your accounts of “proof”, then here is your proof:

To the comments regarding the existance/proof of God as such, there are so many things that only science & medicine can & will defy, the others are within the hands of something we cannot comprehend nor explain

Example-

# 1 – Almost 9 years ago now (dated Sept. 22, 2002) I was involved in an horrific beating, of which I was left for dead, on arrival paramedics announced me “dead”, of which I was taken to hoispital & underwent analysis of which doctors & brain neurosurgeons alike concluded (& I quote): -
“Mr & Mrs. Chedid, from what we seen it doesn’t get much worse than this, IF by some slim miracle your son is going to live, he’s going to be a vegatable, there’s nothing more we can do”, AS WELL AS “if he doesn’t start breathing with 24-48 hours, we’re going to have to talk to you & your husband about turning the life support off”….SO in conclusion, the aftermath result was what outside of what science & medicine could defy, AND well 9 yrs later, here I am now!

# 2 – in a song by rapper Tupac Shakur, & I quote “I got shot 5 times but I’m still breathing, living proof there’s a God if you need a reason

The above two incidents just being 2 OF MANY accounts of proof…

FURTHERMORE, hypothetically speaking, lets just say this “explosion” (‘big bang’ bull) was & is the very creation of our existence, how on earth does one conclude that very thing was & is responsible for all things & organisms living, (irresepective of ALL our evidence @ hand, <- which by the way is according to our knowledge of what we know & understand as being the right thing).

I mean, how is it an explosion knew OR for that matter knows to:

1) Create a perfect balance, (ex. trees for birds to inhibit, those very trees to consume carbon dioxide that our vehicles omit)
2) Water that both holds and contains the essence of life.
3) Create animals that are prey to predator (e.g. zebra to a lion)
… and so on & so forth

–

So what is your story?

What events have you been through that have changed your life? I would love to hear your story… because I believe that one man or woman’s story that they think and view as “insignificant”… has the potential to changed thousands… or possibly millions of lives.

If you would like to submit your motivational story or testimonial for consideration to be published on this blog… please click here to share.

Have a GREAT day everybody and be blessed by the best!

“Men are born to succeed, not fail” -Henry David Thoreau, poet & author

–

Did you know that you are born to succeed?

You may think that your existence on this earth is by accident… or perhaps by chance… and you may not even know where you are going half of the time in life — but be reassured of this crucial fact right here and right now:

You are BORN TO SUCCEED!

No matter what you have encountered in your life this week or in this past season… you are created by God to succeed in life… and to attain high and lofty goals.

When it comes down to it my friend… they are NEVER any failures in your life. We just have feedback on how to do something better in the future.

So every negative outcome that has happened to you up to this day and point in your life… which you used to count as a failure… you can rest assured was just feedback on how you can get better. You are only a failure when you refuse to learn from a negative event or a teachable moment.

Look for the bright moment and the positive that you can take away from every situation. You are born to succeed.

Today, understand and accept the fact that you were born to succeed… you were born to achieve mighty things in your life… you are a natural born success… and you better never forget that!

Have a great day you winner and walk proudly today, everywhere you go… because you were born to succeed!

Daniel Wiafe
Your Daily Motivation Coach

In life… you can either choose to play it safe… or you can choose to aim for the stars by getting outside of your comfort zone… and journeying and exploring new territories that you’ve never explored before.

You see my friend… many people believe that life is meant to be “safe”. And by safe I mean that most of the people in life that you will encounter will choose to fall into the status quo of things… and imitate what everybody else around them are doing.

The large majority of people… although people who mean well… are too scared and too in fear to aim high for the stars… and therefore they miss out on the chance and the opportunity to live their best life ever.

Don’t do things just because everybody else is doing that thing…

If everybody else around you works 9 to 5 at a job that they ABSOLUTELY hate… be different. Why should you work at a job like that for the next 30-40 years of your life? Because everybody else is doing it?

No!! Aim to be different! Aim for the stars and start that business you always wanted to start!

If everybody else around you complains about problems at your workplace… or about your boss or perhaps about classmates at your school… be that different person who excels above everybody else. What can you do to help that boss or help that co-worker… or help that fellow classmate?

Aim for the stars my friend… by becoming the solution to the problem… and not by adding to the problem.

The only thing that can stop you from reaching up high and living this life that God has blessed you to live to the fullest is YOU. Remember that! You hold your future and your goals in your hand… and no one can stop your progress… but you!

Go out there and have the BEST day of your life my friend… make it a point to aim for the stars today… and we will see you bright and early tomorrow morning!
