The most avid gardener will tell you there are many steps to a successful vegetable garden, but somewhere in there, you must plant some seeds if you want anything to grow.  You must plant tomato seeds to grow tomatoes, cucumbers for cucumbers, etc.   These same things hold true if you want things to grow or manifest in your life.  If you desire to be successful, you must plant those seeds of success in your life.  These seeds might be reading all you can about successful people, adopting success methods into your life, or simply choosing to surround yourself with people that are like-minded and desire success as you do. 

When you plant these seeds, you must nurture them with dedication, patience, and eagle eye focus.  You must fertilize the seeds with purpose and direction.   Water these seeds with encouragement and the refusal to look at a miscue as a failure, but an opportunity to eliminate one more things from the list that will not help you be successful!

 If you need guidance on selecting the right seeds of success for your life, schedule some time with me!

The pessimist looks at a situation and says the glass is half empty.  This implies the good is half gone or the situation is not going to get any better.   The optimist says the glass is half full.  This implies there may be bad, but there is still good, or there is the possibility of things improving.  In the midst of adversity, few people want to be reminded it could be better or it could be worst.

Many just want to overcome the situation they are facing.  Shake the paradigm of a glass half empty or half full, because it signifies there is a remnant of old doubt and despair.  BE HAPPY TO JUST HAVE A GLASS.   The empty glass serves as a receptacle for infinite possibilities, to be filled with your dreams, hopes goals and desires!  You have the power to fill the glass with whatever serves your needs.  The power is yours!

Let me help you build a new perspective .....

When life gives you lemons, forget the old saying about making lemonade.  Your success is predicated on your perspective.  Instead of giving up and deciding it is useless to even think about success, why not plant those seeds of doubt and despair. Instead of feeding them with negativity, nurture them with hope, by fertilizing them with determination, water them with optimism and the tenacity of meeting your goals.  Grow a (lemon) orchard of opportunity.

Turn your obstacles into opportunities, and let others come to you as their lemon supplier. Not the lemons that sour the tongue, but the lemons that make the lemonade we enjoy on the hot summer days of life. Don’t let your dreams die, but do the things you need to do to give them life.  Dare to live your dream!  Don’t just exist, live life to the fullest!
