Run To The Next Mile Marker

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s adventure is something I am very aware of, Mile Markers. As a trucker, I keep close attention to mile makers, as they help me progress to my next destination as well as gauge how far I have to go to get there. Miles and time. We all have mile markers- Kindergarten, Middle school, High school, College, 1st job. See, I know I hit one for you, but you have lots more.

6 Vital Navigational Road Signs You Must Be Familiar With

Answer Man: Why does MoDOT use so many mile-marker signs?

In business, as well as Life, I have set my sights on different mile markers. Keeping focused is another story. I have to practice every day to keep going forward toward my mile marker. I set small goals every day. I don’t take big leaps, but small skips. 10 small skips = 1 big leap, plus, skipping is more fun. Mile markers are coming and going whether we want them to or not. You either embrace the moment or fight it.

Henry David Thoreau said it well, “Live deeply and suck the marrow out of life.” Too often, we spend our lives trying to hang on past the shelf life of the good experiences—and either ignoring or giving away too much emotional energy to the bad ones. Life undulates. Learning to flex with it by realizing there are another 200 yards can actually give us hope, to reach our next mile marker.

Visualize the “Chain”. The idea is that every day you stay on track and work toward your goal, you mark the calendar (or your journal or whiteboard), and then you keep going until your goal is met. Your only job is not to break the chain. Remember: One day’s success might not seem all that important. But people meet goals little by little, one small success at a time. By keeping your progress visible, you’ll gain motivation and build momentum toward the finish line.

Celebrate Your Wins: Most of us don’t count “small wins.” We save the celebration when the end goal gets checked off the list, that’s a problem: “Most of us make advances small and large every single day, but we fail to notice them because we lack a method for acknowledging our progress. This is a huge loss.

Create a Reward System: For some people, the rush of crossing something off the list (or in this case, marking the calendar with a nice, big “X”) is enough motivation to keep going. However, if building in your own reward to your goal process will boost your inclination to keep going, then find a way to put a little “bait” in your line of sight.

Cups, Prizes, Trophy, Awards, Prize, Cup

Find an Accountability Buddy: By sharing your goals with someone else, you’re essentially making a commitment. You’ll be less likely to make excuses that derail you when you know someone is going to check in with your progress. That’s because having no progress to share feels like letting that person down, and it never feels good to disappoint someone. Plus, when you’re expecting someone to check in with you on a regular basis, you’ll have all the more reason to keep track of your goals.

Set your mile marker, visualize it, start forward, keep going, NOW YOU ARE THERE. CONGRATULATIONS, YOU DID IT. DOESN’T IT FEEL GOOD

Smile-Someone Is Always Watching

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/smiley%20face/?pagi=2

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s SMILING adventure begins with stretching your LIPS wide from side to side. Yes, It’s called SMILING. True fact: Some claim it takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but open Aunt Milda’s chain letter and you might be surprised to learn it takes 26 to smile and 62 to frown. And some naysayers claim it’s quite the opposite, that in fact it takes more muscles to smile than to frown.

I LOVE SMILING. I always get a smile back, when I smile at YOU. I get a wave when I wave at YOU. I do the thumbs up, peace sign, Spock- Live Long And Prosper sign, any reaction to put that smile on YOUR face. Try it out for yourself. Do any of these activities and see the results for yourself. It’s so much fun. With all the negative going on these days WE ALL NEED THIS–S M I L E.

Want a great read-Get Stuck On Happy, is by far a genuine, straight from the heart book about changing your mindset, from the negative to the positive. Recognizing your thinking negatively and begin turning back to the positive. Because we humans are wired to instinctively respond like for like, facial expressions are contagious. When taken, the homily’s implied advice to put on a happy face does work to benefit society in that smiling people cause those around them to smile. See I told YOU.

Look Janet, I see how fun this can be .LOL

Events like face painting bring smiles, complimenting someone on how they look, giving up your seat to someone, helping someone with their yard work because you can. What brings a SMILE to your face? Being a trucker, blowing my airhorn, brings smiles to people young and old alike when they hold their arm out the window, and make the up and down motion for blowing my horn.

My biggest smile maker is my cooking. I cooked professionally for 10 years. My recipe folder is thousands. My best recipe is homemade, I mean 2 days to get ready, MARINARA SAUCE. Everything is fresh, from tomatoes, fresh herbs. I like mine thick, so it stays on my spaghetti. My good friend Tammy House from Pampered Chef can help out with online parties, products, and services. Check out her site.

Smiling makes us feel happier. It is not a cure-all for every situation (that is, don’t look to it to remedy overwhelming grief), but in terms of getting us past a small dose of the blues, it can help to lift the sense of sadness being experienced.

Repeat aloud: Today is a wonderful day. I have never seen this one before.

Today I will walk like I’m listening to my favorite song.

Today I give MYSELF the best gift ever, THE PRESENT MOMENT.

I want to give you a free SMILE. When you click on the links, you will smile when you see how easy it is to build a business.

I’m Here-You’re here

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s gripping saga begins with you and me, Having THE TALK. Thank you for stopping by, I said. How can I help you? You said, I need help setting up my business funnel and blogging platform. Well, you have come to the right place. I wish it was this easy, but it’s not.

Growth Mindset – Infinity Community Solutions Ltd

A mindset is a set of assumptions, methods, or notions held by one or more people or groups of people. Building your business takes time and effort. You will find success and failure. Not to worry.

Mention: https://www.inc.com/lolly-daskal/7-mindsets-that-will-radically-improve-your-life-right-now.html

Just because you are struggling, that doesn’t mean you’re not learning. Every failure has something to teach you, and everything you learn helps you grow. If you are unwilling to learn, no one can help you; if you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.

Every great success requires some kind of struggle, and good things really do come to those who work hard and struggle to pursue their goals and dreams they believe in. To radically change your life, you have to change yourself. Start building your new mindset today–think the thoughts that will help you move toward your goals right now.

Knowing what you want and willing yourself to reach it are two different things. When you know your goals, they motivate you. Remember, if it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you. Set high goals and don’t stop until you reach them. There’s a fine line between moving forward and standing still. The most successful people do all they can to move forward, but they also have the patience to wait and watch. Those who are impatient tend to lose out on great opportunities. Sometimes you have to wait for the right thing. Doing anything great requires courage, but fear always has a way of showing up. Courage does not mean being unafraid; having courage and showing courage means facing your fears, saying “I am scared and I am moving forward anyway.” Courage is like a muscle you can strengthen with use.

Choosing to be positive and having a good attitude will determine a lot about your life. If you set your mind to positivity it can go a long way. Be positive, not passive. Instead of giving yourself reasons why you can’t or shouldn’t, give yourself reasons why you can and permission to go for it. Happiness doesn’t come from circumstances but always from within.

Come join a group of people, who learned how to change, move ahead, focus and take action DAILY. We are ENTREPRENEURS. We fight for what we want, get what we want and don’t take excuses from ourselves or others. If this is YOU , you are in the right place. We welcome you with open arms.

I have several business option for you to choose.

WHEN PEOPLE SAY NO

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael the Traveling Trucker. Today’s wild ride adventure is overcoming ” THE NO” WORD. No is not a bad word.

We all have had someone tell us no. No No No, you can’t go there, you can’t have that, You can’t see that show, listen to that music, visit that xxx shop, and the list goes on.

Mention:

In our businesses, do we educate people? We should lead them, by listening to where they want to be. Most people give the fast answer No, because you caught them off guard. They don’t know how to respond. They think they are getting rid of you quickly by saying NO. Say yes to business by clicking here.

You should begin gently by asking a few questions. I see you filled out the form to work with us online. Has something changed since this morning? What are you looking to do online? If you had time, how much would you be willing to commit each day or week to receive a commission? Are you willing to get some training? How much of an investment can you commit to your business? Would you have a monthly budget to help advertise your business? Would you be willing to work with a team?

For some reason people don’t like to say NO, however, people sure are good at saying things like “let me think about it,” “I’ll get back to you,” ” sounds good but I want to talk to my spouse” or ” I need to talk to the committee.” There are infinite excuses. Does this mean that NO is right or wrong? It means people don’t have all the facts. People fill out forms all the time and 5 minutes later, they forgot where they were online. You contact them, thinking you are going to get a good response, WHAM, no, no, no is what you hear. First off, we have to figure out why people are so uncomfortable, which can take some coaching and self-study.

What if you could achieve every quota… hit every income goal… and reach every personal dream… simply by changing the way you think, feel, and respond to hearing the word NO? Well, you can.

The relationship you have with the word NO… what you think and feel when you hear it, and what you do afterward as a result… is THE single most important factor in determining the level of success you will achieve in your life. That’s why despite having a great product, service or opportunity to offer, so many people fail to succeed in business… and in life.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. A simple change in attitude and perspective could transform you from someone who is slowed down by failure and rejection into someone who is actually energized by it.

Turn Your Greatest Obstacle into Your Greatest Asset… Learn to Go for No!

The more times you successfully survive a rejection, the more you will “numb” yourself to the emotional sting.
The more you face “no” rather than run from it, the more your courage and confidence will grow, making you so much better.
By dealing with nos, your skills handling it will improve, eventually making you effective at keeping it from happening as often.

TRANSFORMATION

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael the Traveling Trucker. This adventure is my walk from boyhood to manhood. Please remember that a lot of what you read was over 25-30 years ago. As you look into my life, look back into yours.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/prison/

Stairs, Architecture, Steps, Climb, High

It started as a son. Born into a family of 5, Dad, Mom, and 3 sisters. Yep, the youngest. I didn’t have a relationship with dad or mom growing up. Both parents worked. Our family life was brutal at times. My dad was violent, that’s what he knew growing up. It’s all he had. Yes, there was some tender moment, but not many. I remember getting into the habit of stealing at a young age. This got me into trouble until I was in my 30’s. There was alcohol at our house, lot’s of it. I remember my 1st drunk outside of the family at 13. This drinking lasted until I was 30. I became an alcoholic and drug addict. I had sexual relations with anyone who wanted sex. Lot’s of partners. There is hope for all who read this. You can change IF YOU WANT TO. I lost more jobs, so-called friends, family members. I was close to my sister. After I was married for a few years, my sister told my wife, she didn’t think I was going to make it past my 25th birthday. I carried a gun, smoked, cussed, and generally hated people. My sweet bride put up with my drinking for the 1st 4 years of our marriage. She didn’t remember me sober, I don’t remember her but in a drunken state.

Mention: https://www.123rf.com/stock-photo/slave.html

Life is what you make it, GOOD or BAD. I chose badly for way to many years. I have had to fight for any peace in my life. My wife was getting ready to leave me and take our oldest daughter, who was 1, away. She loved me but couldn’t stand, me being drunk every day. I had multiple affairs, lied at every question asked of me. My life was a wreck. God gently lead me to AA. I began getting sober. I went for 2 years. Every day I went to a meeting. My wife wanted to go to church. That is where I met Tim Miles. This man loved me enough to show me God’s word. He poured his life into mine. Tim was a recovered drug addict. that’s why we related. I pray for those who have any hurts, habits, or hangups to find HELP. It is just waiting for you. Take that step no matter how hard it may seem. YOU can Do It.

I have been arrested, several times. I thank God, I didn’t do any jail time. People were paid off to drop the charges. That’s the kind of people I hung out with. Money, drugs, and lots of alcohol. We watched out for each other for a while.

Now for the transformation, after a small glimpse of the dark side. My life today is one of JOY, PEACE, LONG SUFFERING, GENTLENESS, HONOR, SACRIFICE.

I believe In GOD the FATHER, JESUS his SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. Through daily change, I have gotten on the path of righteousness. God is directing my every step. I love my wife and daughters. I would die for them. My finances are the best they’ve ever been. I started an internet business with faithful, loving people.

I have a book- GET STUCK ON HAPPY. This is a great read. Things to do every day to bring happiness into your life. I take full responsibility for my thoughts and actions. Quick to say I’m wrong and apologize. God has given me a new outlook on life. I see when I once was blind, hear when I was deaf, speak with wisdom when I was a fool. WHO ARE YOU BECOMING? Don’t waste another day walking in darkness, come into the light. I used to think I had to give up something I thought I loved. I gained everything through LOVE. Today I truly have good gifts and am able to pass along good gifts.

Choose today: LIGHT OR DARKNESS. Choose LIFE, NOT DEATH. There is so much out here that brings LIFE. Let’s find it together. I’ll walk with you, hold your hand, and encourage you every step of the way.

Powers Of Observation

Hello Everyone, This Is Your Best Friend, Michael the Traveling Trucker. Get Out your mental powers for today’s adventure: Do you notice your surroundings? Have you ever sat in a crowded place and just watched people go by? Try it sometime. You’ll notice that most folks have their head down and are glued to their electronic device. We read the news about not texting and driving all the time. However, people are still not always aware of their surroundings.

Increasing Your Awareness: Times reported that the “time we spend on our smartphones is interfering with our sleep, self-esteem, relationships, memory, attention spans, creativity, productivity and problem-solving and decision-making skills.” Cool, great, good stuff to have but, remember to exercise your mind daily with these simple tricks.

Pay attention to the people, objects, animals, plants, and buildings around you.
Try doing this in a different place every day. Start at home, then try it at an office, park, mall, grocery store, or a local landmark.

Pay attention to small details. Often, people only notice the large objects that surround them. As you go throughout your day, try to look for the smaller details that might surround buildings, landmarks, and large spaces.

Stay in the present moment. It is easy to become distracted by electronics, intrusive thoughts, or noisy environments, but these can make you less observant. When you take a walk, listen to the sounds of nature, such as birds singing or the wind rustling through the trees. Think about how the sun feels on your skin or how brightly colored the flowers are.

Write down everything that you notice on a daily basis. Do this throughout your day as you notice things. This will keep you observant at the moment. Write your observations in a journal or word document. Try to be as specific as possible.

Quantify everything you notice. When you’re trying to observe something, try to identify how many of them there are. These numbers will force you to pay more attention to the size or quantity of objects. As time goes on, you may be able to count objects more quickly. “To stay eager, to connect, to find interest in every day, to notice what everybody else overlooks — these are vital skills and noble goals. They speak between looking and seeing, between hearing and listening, between accepting what the world presents and noticing what matters to you.”

My friends, Your life has meaning. You are more than your phone, TV, Laptop, radio— Yesterday, after finishing up the yard work, to cool my body down, I sat on my porch with a cold glass of water. We have bird feeders. I got to watch our FLYING PIGS-HUMMING BIRDS, drink the nectar of sugar water from the glass feeder. Watching the dragonflies, squirrels, fireflies. Listening to the sounds from up the street of load music. Looking at our hill garden. Smelling the cut grass and enjoying the sense of peace and tranquility. Just getting to enjoy these things, from my 2500 mile driving, is truly a breath of fresh air for this old boy.

How much do YOU really want to CHANGE your mindset? Going from an unhappy, unfulfilled, and negative mindset, to a Positive, happy, totally fulfilled lifestyle. It’s about training YOUR mind to do simple tasks each day until they become a HABIT. 10 minutes a day. Yep, just 10 minutes.

I began reading a book from my Dear Friend, Mentor, and Business Coach JANET LEGERE. Get Stuck On Happy-30 Ways to Change Your Thoughts and Live a Happier Life. Janet’s passion for life, her easy style of teaching, writing, and Mentoring, has helped me on my journey to improve my thoughts and habits to always reflect the positive.

I love the GRATITUDE JOURNAL. This is a 30 day journal for writing down 3 things each morning, you are grateful for. Then 3 things at night you are grateful for. Then reflect back daily at your journal’s past days entries.

This might sound funny to some: There is a breathing technique. I personally have been doing this for years, so I understand the calming affect it has on your mind and body. It helps your whole being to quite the negative thoughts and refocus on the positive.

When you look around your house, DO YOU SEE HAPPY? I mean, do you smile often at the things ( pictures, flowers, stuffed animals, books, etc) around your house? Do the memories from these things bring a positive, happy smile to your day? If not, then begin today to fill your house with a positive, happy mindset. Look at these WORDS BELOW. Take 1 minute right now: Reflect on how they calm you, help you focus on the positive side of your SPIRIT.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/positive%20words/

Now Picture YOUR perfect moment. What do you see? Where are you? What are you doing? What are you wearing? What’s the weather outside? Who is with you? What can you smell? What can you you hear? How do you feel?

Moments fill us with joy and happiness. Waiting for the perfect moment may take to long- Create YOUR HAPPY MOMENTS yourself and enjoy!
