We are all tested to find our persistence level.  How dedicated are you to achieving your vision?  Will you keep trying no matter how many times you get knocked down?

Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel                                                                                                                                                                 Napoleon Hill

The basis of this is the power of your will.  A combination of willpower, persistence and desire are needed to attain your goals.  Know that you will achieve your goals, let no one deter you. Continue Reading »

Competing Commitments may be getting in the way of following your dreams.  You say you’re committed to achieving a certain goal, yet your actions say otherwise.  What you say and what occurs are total opposites.  Your actions speak louder than words.                                                                                               

Have you ever had this happen?  Have you planned to change things in your life but the results don’t look at all like you expected?  Things just seem to get in the way.  Life’s just not fair!  Why does everything happen to me? Continue Reading »

There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge

Napoleon Hill

Are you ready to step into the realm of accepting no limitations on your life?  Are you ready to live in possibilities?  Are you ready to examine your life’s journey?

The more I delve into personal development, the more I Continue Reading »

Socrates said that at his trial for heresy. He was on trial for encouraging his students to challenge the accepted beliefs of the time and think for themselves.  What was true then is still very relevant today.  When you chose to follow the norm without examining if those ways will serve you, your life is on autopilot and growth will not occur.

Understanding yourself is where to start.  Life is ever-changing.  To become the person you desire to be, you must adapt and Continue Reading »

You have a clear picture of your vision/your goal.  You’ve visualized what your life will look like when you achieve this vision.

Then out of the blue, roadblocks start showing up for you.  These roadblocks may appear in many different forms.  All sorts of issues may arise to pull you off course, seemingly determined to stop your progress.  The biggest roadblock may be looking back at you in the mirror. Continue Reading »

Life is all about the Story.  Your journey is filled with experiences, both great and not so great.  You have the power to choose how to tell your stories.  How you write the stories in your book depend on how you perceive the events.  YOU are the author of your Life Book, YOU can write it anyway you choose.

Now before you start with the questions here, allow me to explain.  It all comes down to your state of mind.  Do you perceive life as a series of challenges and events that were learning experiences or Continue Reading »

Well, have you?

I hope you’re not waiting until you retire to begin your list.  That would be such a waste.  Now I know this idea was made popular by the movie The Bucket List, but seriously, waiting until you’re at the end of your life really limits what you can accomplish.  The whole idea is to live every moment of your life to the fullest, doing the things that you dream of doing.

Yup , that’s what I said.

Do I have your attention?

Alright, let’s talk.

I’m not advocating acting as if no one else in the world matters.  What I am saying is how many of your decisions are based on what you think someone else may think or say?  Do you follow your dreams or do you worry what someone would think of you?  Do you step outside your comfort zone or stop short so people won’t question your actions?
