Your thoughts are what your life is. The way you set out to live is determined by you and the life you want to live. Many times we are taught to live the life that was presented by our examples such as parents and teachers. These people have influenced our decisions and have potentially shown us where we are today. Yo have the power to shift your focus to something different and become who you have always wanted.   

Selfish is a word that has taken on a negative feeling. There are many people who give that word a rightful meaning by being self-absorbed and out for themselves. There are many reasons why we need to take some time to look out for ourselves. Many people struggle with giving all of themselves to help others and often forgetting they exist as people too. Evaluate where you are and know that it is ok to take care of yourself.   

Perspective plays a large role in our lives. Many people have different sets of ideas and feel very strongly about them. What you can learn is that many of those same ideas are the same as yours but is said in a different way. Take time to really hear what people are saying and you will be surprised how much other people may be saying the same thing but have different ways to communicate it.       

When it comes to accomplishing your goals you have to do it for you. Many times we are looking for outside influences to really push us towards the goal but we have to do it ourselves. It is time that we decide we are doing something because that is what we want. We are full of opportunities and we will grow once we accept that we will achieve our goals because we want to.     

Often times we think that others may have better lives than us. We think that their lives are filled with greatness and that they live a perfect life. We get caught up in the idea that others lives are perfect. This can become dangerous thinking because we fail to look at the great things we have in life. Sometimes others lives aren't quite what it looks like on the outside and people may have struggles that you would ever know. 

Perfection is something most people want. Many people think that being perfect will solve all of their problems. In reality, this is far from the truth. Many people drive themselves crazy thinking they can be perfect. They strive for something that is far out of reach for all of us. We have to accept that we all have flaws and know that we will always be imperfect. Embrace who you are and live the best life you can.

Sometimes in life, we need to try new things. By doing new things we may discover something that we love and can lead us to a better life. Many people feel that they often times are restricted to the life they live now. This is far from the truth. Take time to try something new. You won't regret it.     

Burnout happens to everyone. What causes burnout? Most of the time it is a lack of focus or a lack of goals. We have to be focused on what drives us to success. If we don't like doing something, we need to stop doing it. Many people are scared to change something because they fear that they may make the wrong decision. Its time to overcome the fear of change and focus on fighting burnout.     

Today we revisit the 7 Key Principles of Breathe Motivation. These steps were created and used by Host Anthony Hester to help him find his purpose in life. You have the ability to find success in your life. You have to choose to take action and go after what you want. You can do whatever you put your mind to.  Be Bold Rule Your World  Exceed Your Expectations Attack Your Purpose Take Control  Harness Your Dreams  Embrace Change  

Being reliable is a must. Before you can be reliable for others you must first be reliable to yourself. Reliable people tend to be more clear on decisions, confident, honest, and feel free. You are in full control of what you can and want to do for people. Know that being reliable doesn't always mean you have to say yes to everything people ask of you. You can focus on getting better with reliabilty and you will have a greater relationship with others and your self.     

It can really be tough to be vulnerable. It is scary to open yourself up to others and not knowing what response you will get. I struggled for a long time to be able to open up to others. I felt that if I opened up to others I would be weak. Know that there is no weakness in being vulnerable. Vulnerability can help free you and help others understand you.

You are where you are supposed to be. I hated hearing that a few years ago. I didn't understand it and really found out years later that it is true. What you will find is that you will learn lessons and they will lead you to success later. The lessons you learn are priceless and you will thank yourself later when you are able to solve things quicker because of the journey you are on. 

Relationships are decided by us. We decide who is in our lives and how they treat us. Many times we feel that this aspect is out of our hands. We allow people to treat us good or bad. When we give up the control of how others will treat us, we often lose ourselves because we rely on their every word. We must have respect for ourselves and not allow people to treat us wrong. Decide to have great relationships and you will have great relationships.
