Review: Seriously? Could it really be so simple?

Yes! After reading Become Exceptional I realized that it really is so simple to change and become truly exceptional. Every day we surround ourselves with negativity. We find fault in ourselves and in others and that negativity breeds in us until we come to a standstill in our lives. Sometime in our lives when we stop dreaming as kids we stop believing in ourselves, we sabotage ourselves. But it doesn't have to be that way. Change your attitude and you can change your life. That is the number one thing Become Exceptional taught me. I am the only thing holding myself back. Not my boss, not my coworkers, not my parents or my spouse. Me. My negative thoughts, my stress, my lack of motivation. That realization is a powerful thing. I struggle with being "motivated". I tell myself that I'm going to do a thing, and it never gets done. I'm guilty of thinking too big. We've got to warm up first, baby steps. When I get on my treadmill and say, "I'm going to run 2 miles" when I haven't ran in months after becoming pregnant, well to say the least I set myself up for failure. We've got to walk before we run, literally. The path starts with positivity. Know where you are, know where you want to be, and visualize how to get there. Live each day to the fullest, and take another baby step towards your goal each and every day.
