The Wild West is long gone, but a friend welded metal together and created this magnificent scene.

Art is strange...one is tasteful, the next...not.

It's new owner has it planted in the front of his ranch, so all passing by might grab a memory of days gone by.

Smokey the Bear is lovable with a profound message. He tickles your heart while encouraging us to protect our forests.

The story of Smokey becoming a legend goes back to a bear cub rescued from a horrific fire in New Mexico in the 1950's.

The saying "Only YOU can prevent Wildfires" got little traction until the Forest Service leveraged Smokey as an affable character delivering a precise message.

It seems that good marketing blends "good feelings" with precise messaging. Chances are you are as familiar with Smokey, as are your kids !

Someone believed in the dream
Someone delivered the dream

What restrains you ?

Amazing sunsets offer pleasant memories.

A trail of memories (good & bad) follow each of us around.

If you want to create better memories, try this:

• Refuse yourself to disagree

People remember that you found fault with them.

• Smile - a smile breaks barriers. Marilyn Monroe was reputed to have said that "a Smile is a girls best friend".

• Listen - they are sharing with you...be respectful and pay attention.

• Summarize - what they said is important (to them). Show you paid attention by summing up what they told you...they will appreciate you doing so.

Simple...Effective...Encouraging

Go Gettum !

You choose:
• Change
• No Thanks, I like the way I am

This Change Chart grabs you right away. Change may be good for us, even though we resist change.

Most people like the first snowfall, the first kiss, the first "You did a grewt job". Yet, its too easy avoid making changes, even when it benefits us down the road.

Guess what...It sure is easy to talk about others needing to change. I remember a story of a guy who really wanted to make a big change in his life.

He wanted to get up early every morning! You know what he did...he signed up for a two week US Army course and forced himself to get up early. Interestingly, he still does it. That two weeks help him cement a daily habit into his life.

Change is not that hard. You can change IF YOU WANT TO. So how do you know if you want to change? Examine these:

1. Realize that by doing the same things over and over again your results will never change.

2. Motivation lacks, other than being entertained (Facebook, video, talking to friends, escaping, etc)

3. Your good friends (or parents) suggest an alternative path of action for you....they see you wasting away.

If something in these three steps hit you between the eyes, try this:

A. Discover something important that you really want to do
B. Write down this important thing to you in a goal statement, like "I see myself climbing Mt Whitney by June 30, 2025."
C. Find a buddy that will help you do it by holding you Accountable for achieving your goal.
D. Write down all the obstacles to getting it done.
E. Now write up your plan to overcome each obstacle, give it to your accountability buddy, and follow your plan.

Simple - Yes
Does it work - Yes
How do you know it will work - Successful people have someone in their life that they are accountable to.

Be Successful - Change !
