Look good, feel good!

Yesterday I wrote about the word diet.This morning I looked back at this word and its Greek root

Greek diaita,
literally, manner of living, from diaitasthaito lead one's life.
Diata, sounds like the Hebrew word dayenu which we sing at the Seder on Passover. Dayenu has a completely different meaning,....it would have been enough.Or maybe they do have a connection?
Maybe the concept of leading my life is enough.In my Darren Daily today my mentor shared an audio conversation with his mentor Jim Rohn. Mr. Rohn's message was simple.If you want to be successful work hard on yourself not at your job.
Sounds like it fits in....lead your life,work on yourself.
I spend a lot of time and energy fixing problems, solving dilemmas and completing tasks.All admirable feats.I'm just not sure if that I am getting the best bang for my buck when I engage in these activities.I seem to get the greatest R.O.I. when my efforts are used to make me the best me possible.When I work at that, when my focus is living my life as the best me possible,that is when I am most successful. And that is when I feel my efforts were enough.
Not that long ago, I wrote about leading my life,not letting life lead me.Month's later, I find myself at this same intersection on my Journey.In a conversation with a client yesterday I kept hearing "when I a lose 4 more pounds, then I will be happy".I smiled knowing full well, that when she decides to be happy, losing 4 pounds will be easy.
For me, replacing the "when I's" with "I am's", is what makes me better.Waiting on life is a waste of time. And time is way too precious to be wasted!
 Mr. Rohn's advice to me, through Mr. Hardy , was to remember that success is something you attract,not something you pursue.

If I want to be successful, become as attractive as possible!

It's just that simple.....!
