    Gifted

    clear-sense-of-purposeNot everyone is going to support your dream and that’s okay. Everyone is here with a vision or purpose all of their own. When you allow the behavior or emotions of another keep you from your greatness, you are saying that their wants are more important then what you were designed for. You were given the gift of life, what you do with it is your gift back.

  • The Pull

    The Pull

    summer-dream-1Let the magnetism of your dream pull forward. I hear so often people say I “have” to do or I “should” be doing but if you allow your dream to pull you, you will find yourself doing things you want to do. The healthy habits you consistently do each day is what will bring you the happiness and the success you are looking for.

  • Just Start Somewhere

    “Start before you’re ready.” ―Steven Pressfield

    I read somewhere that if someone wants to build a social media presence you have to create something new each day. I whole heartily agree with this statement, but the hardest thing I find is being disciplined enough to sit down and start.

    The one thing writing a blog has taught me is that you have to just simply push through the distractions. There certainly can be quite a few of them when you decided to put action behind an important task.  I had the same resistance when I started meditation.  I would sit down, get comfy and press play on my iPhone, as soon as Deepak would say close your eyes, thoughts of what I needed to take care of would pop in my head. I couldn’t stay focused.  The more I decided I was going to just sit there, I eventually got better.  I became less distracted by thoughts and gained more focus on my meditation practice. I know the same will happen on my writing.

    I have been working on a few techniques that have helped me get more focused on accomplishing some tasks. I have found that if I get still and take some quiet time with myself, the topics of what I want to write about come to me.  When I sit quietly, I ask myself, “What is the message that I would like to bring forward at this moment?” Some of the best ideas have come to me by just waiting.  They have had some A-ha moments.

    I have also found that by just writing out all of the thoughts that are in your head can be a great way to determine a topic to write about.  When you take a moment just to write out what’s on your mind, they don’t have to be organized at that moment, it’s just important to get your thoughts down on paper.  Then when you get the chance, go back and organize what you wrote.

    The last idea on finding things to write about is just pressing play on your cell phone and just record what’s on your mind.  The most important thing with this method is not to leave them in the sound recording. Take a moment to go back, listen and write your ideas down in a notebook or journal.  Again the most import thing is to get your thoughts out of your head and down on paper.

    As with most posts I write about, there is a lesson I would like to share.  This lesson is that you don’t have to things perfect to start, just simply begin with something.  I know my writing will improve the more I keep writing, but what I celebrate each time I post, is the simple fact that I did.

  • Coincidences

    Coincidences

    “Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.” ― Albert Einstein

    I started reading Deepak Chopra’s “The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire” DSCF5566this week. It explores SyncroDestiny, the phenomenon of coincidences. The book was available to purchase at Oprah’s The Life You Want Tour.

    Now looking back, I guess all of what I am about to share could be classified as coincidences. I started requesting several books from Oprah’s book list through the local library. The first book available for pick up was “The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire”.

    When I was in Michigan, I was talking to my “new friend” I met in the registration line on Friday about how I needed to find a new hairdresser.  On Monday evening after returning from Michigan,  I received a call from a fellow business consultant to see if I would be interested in providing consulting services to a new client he just signed.  On Wednesday when I met the new client she said she was a hairdresser.

    I wanted to order and read Oprah’s new book “What I Know for Sure” but it was not available through the library. My aunt called me on Thursday and said she needed my address to send me a book she thought I would be interested in reading,  Oprah’s “What I know for Sure”.  15224899_s

    Can you imagine what our lives could be like if we noticed these occurrences while they are happening instead of realizing them when we are reflecting on the past.  In the book, Deepak Chopra explains that these coincidences are like flashing signs to let you know that you are on the path to fulfilling your desire.  Who knows, maybe its a sign for me to share that information with someone reading this!
