Only YOU Can Program Your CODE!

Values = What you believe
CODE = How you live
There is a drastic distinction between these two words because values are easy to negotiate because when you come across someone with different beliefs there is a very good chance that their beliefs will influence your beliefs and the outcome will be negotiated beliefs.
On the other hand, CODES are CODES - no one can program your CODE but YOU because this is how you have chosen to live your life.
For me, MY CODE is something I hold to the highest standard and I force, without resistance, calibration each day...
My one line code is...
I walk my talk in every area of life and when I don’t, I acknowledge the breakdown and fix it immediately.
The above represents a CODE…
No one can sway it…
No one can program it…
No one can influence it…
BUT ME!
The #1 reason why people don’t accomplish their goals OR check items off their bucket list OR fall short in a variety of ways is because they allow an internal negotiation process to take place which looks like this…
“Oh, it’s just one cookie. One cookie never led to anyone missing their weight loss goals.”
“Oh it’s just one TV show. One TV Show never held someone back from their dreams.”
“Oh it’s just an extra hour out with your friends, an extra hour never hurt a relationship permanently.”
“Oh it’s just one more video game, one more video game never impacted a relationship between a parent and child.”
The list goes on and on and on…
So what it boils down to is this…
NEGOTIATE against yourself
OR
PROGRAM your CODE
