How do you like to think? Negative or positive? How do you analyze your life so far? Good, fair or poor on the overall? Read on to find out how you can have better results in life. Let me start with the following statement: "Good thoughts bear good fruits. Bad thoughts bear bad fruits. And man is his own gardener." Do you agree with above statement? Does it ring a bell? How can you have better results in life for instance, your relationships, career, spirituality and work/life balance? Can you do better by thinking better? This is what the statement in quotes really means. So how can you think better? You need to feel good about yourself. And the easiest way to do that is to smile. Start smiling and saying Hello to everyone you meet throughout the day. You will get smiles and Hellos back. That would certainly make you feel better. And that makes you think better.  How can thinking better lead to better results? You will behave and talk better. Your body language will exude confidence. All these strengthen communications in career and relationships. You have better things to say to Almighty God and thank Him. Your spiritual connection, as a result, gets enhanced. Life gets better and you find a good balance between work and life. How can you train yourself to think better? Because like anybody else, your inner critic will let you into negative thoughts, majority of the time. The trick is to defeat this inner critic, go past it and focus on positivity. What is good about the current moment? Go still for a few seconds. The answer will come to you soon. It can be a good conversation with a colleague over having coffee; getting joy from playing with your child, an appetizing hearty dinner, a wonderful chat with a complete stranger and the list goes on.

We often take things for granted and seldom stop to reflect on what we have to be grateful for. We live in a world where we constantly look at what we don’t have, have not achieved, and have yet to go or do. Perhaps we should look back on what we have accomplished so far, the storms we have weathered and the places we have been; not so much as what we have not done, but what has been done on our life list. When we refuse to lament the mistakes of the past, we can then appreciate our moment in time in our present. The idea that maybe a few years ago you dreamed about owning a car; we now own one; may not be what we want, but we have transportation now. Something to be grateful for. We may not own our dream home, but we are not homeless; and that’s something to be grateful for. We may not eat at the finest eating establishments, but just the other day we were saying how we need to go on a diet; something to be grateful for. It is easy to find reasons to complain, and it takes more muscles to frown than smile. Why not use the economy of muscles and smile as we look at the birds in the air. We have sight and can see the majestic birds as they are lifted in the air. Our complaints can lift us higher and spur us to greatness. We feel the wind on our face. That means the sensation of touch is still active in our lives, so we can breathe life and touch someone else’s life with a kind word or gesture. There are so many things to be grateful for; if nothing else, you no longer think defeat and now proclaim victory over every facet of your life. There is one thing about scars we often forget; the time of the injury hurt, and may mar our flesh, but we survived, and if we survived once, we can again; something to be grateful for. Look over your life and don’t spend time lamenting, connect with me and let's put your list of grateful ways to move forward
On a movie set, the word that sets everything in motion is when the director says “Action”. All the lines rehearsed, all the stunts practiced, all the lines memorized to make the movie a success begin with one simple word “Action” We develop a life script, determine how to reach our goals, and fantasize about our future success, but for now, we act as if we are waiting for someone to say the word “Action”. The minute you realize your heart’s desire, the word “Action” was uttered. The second you realized what you have is not what you want, “Action” was said. The moment you desired to take a chance on your self, “Action” was the word uttered by the director of your life movie.  You see, you are the director, and if you think you are waiting on someone, or something, your waiting is in vain, because only you can utter the word “Action” for your life movie to begin. There may be external influences, current situations, or even circumstances. Sometimes movies have problems with filming, but the movie still goes on, and so can you! Take ACTION and let your movie roll, so when the time comes to view the end credits, you can say, this was a bestseller, a block buster, an epic adventure, a life movie that is definitely a MUST SEE! Are you ready to live your life of purpose on purpose? Schedule your strategy session with me today and start living the life your deserve.
 There is an old saying, which tells us we are what we eat. A contemporary version speaks to the idea of garbage in, garbage out.
Conversely, if you consume things that are healthy, then your health is improved. This begs the question, what are you feeding your mind and soul. Are you ingesting a constant diet of negativity, pessimism and doubt, or a healthy diet of positivity, optimism and hope. Many times a first look at a situation is not the correct view of that situation. Many times a hopeless situation actually has elements of hope if you search for them. A storm cloud may bring destruction, but the rain can bring healing to an area ravaged by drought. Who do you allow to speak into your life? Do you allow those that are trying to help you be the best version of you, or those that down you so they can feel as if they are the best version of themselves? If you live a life where you allow people, places and things to bring toxicity to your mind and soul, you will live a life full of toxins. When you seek people, places and things to pour healing, hope, and yes, even sometimes tough love into your life, you will find you have the impetus to reach new hopes, achieve new goals and be all you can be, as you aim high, enjoying this great adventure called life. As we watch our diet for our bodies, we must also watch our diet for our mind and soul. Who feeds you and who do you need to cut from the list of places you can spiritually eat. As we make smart healthy choices for our bodies, we must do the same for our mind and soul. Are you ready to live your life of purpose on purpose? Schedule your strategy session with me today and start living the life your deserve. What does it mean to live your life with and on purpose? Well, first off, it means being a conscious creator. It means being aware of your motives and decisions and being attuned to the cause and effect relationship. When you are a conscious creator you make your decisions from a place of awareness and choice. You choose what you think, you choose how you feel, and you choose the actions you take. Purposeful living also means living your life with intention. When you are aware of your desires and the reasons behind them, you are also in a position to receive powerful guidance that then follows through to manifestation. Every person is unique in what they came here to do and experience. However, all of us have something in common; we are all connected to Source and we are all destined for joy and fulfillment. Why do some people "get there" while others find themselves struggling through life? It's a simple matter of alignment. In order to fulfill our destiny, we must align ourselves with the ultimate truth; that we are here to enjoy life, be fulfilled in all good ways and to share our joy and gifts with the world.
The keys to purposeful living are as follows:
Get the most out of your life. Contact me today to schedule your free strategy consultation. Live, die, repeat. Great theory for a movie, but not for living a life of purpose on purpose. Life is not a video game, where if you don’t like where it is heading, you can hit the reset button and start over again. In reality, we have only one life to live. In reality, we live and die. The question is, during that period between your first breath and your last breath did you enjoy the full experience of life? Did you embrace life with both arms? There is a dash on tombstones between our birth date and date of death, so make that dash count! Don’t count how many breaths you take, but make every breath count! Set your goals. Live your goals. Enjoy your goals. Live. Reach your goals. Set new goals. Repeat. Let that be your mantra!  There is a television show called the Originals. I don’t know the premise of the show, but it brings to mind the original settlers and pioneers that settled this great nation of ours. They were not sure how things would turn out in the end, but they decided they wanted a better life and the best life had to offer. They decided to live a life of purpose on purpose. Was it hard? Yes! Was it taxing? Yes. Did they face challenges that made them want to give up? Most definitely! Did they give up? No, because if they had not decided to live a life of purpose, reach their goals and make their dreams a reality, this great country would not be what it is. Be a pioneer. Be a pilgrim. Be an adventurer. Reach out for life and grab it. Hold on to it and wrestled the best it has to give you from her grasp and ENJOY IT!
Today is the present. Yesterday is the past. Tomorrow is the future. Many people believe the future is already written and there is no use to trying to change what is fated to be. We hold the power to chart our future. The gods of mythology do not hold our fates in their hands, we do. We can’t change the choices we made yesterday, because that day is gone, it is in the past. We can make wise choices today. Today is the present and when we decide to embrace the fullness of life, by living a purpose driven life, we began to be fulfilled, happy and complete. Tomorrow is the future, so why not make sure our lives in the future aligns with the life we desire today. Contact me today to schedule your Free strategy consultation. In most world religions, you will find a cautionary admonishment to be cognizant of what you are allowing into your consciousness, i.e., what you watch, hear and experience. The premise behind this thought is the external stimuli we receive contributes to the formation of our worldview, which shapes our mindset. If we receive continuous negative feedback, we will tend to think of things in a negative way. When we receive positive feedback, the same holds true. There is also the idea of mental debris.  These are the things that are neither positive or negative but takes up space needed to propel us towards our hearts desires. When we limit the negative, and accentuate the positive we can develop a mindset geared towards success. This is not saying everything is fairy dust and unicorns. This is saying instead of looking at situations as obstacles, see them as opportunities to develop new solutions. Failure is can be used to tell us what not to do so we can focus on what needs to be done. Problems become potential breakthroughs. The battle for success begins in the mind, and you can dominate the battlefield if you ensure all things you receive in your mind are used to help you instead of hindering you from reaching your goals. I have years of experience helping people from all walks of life develop a winning mindset. Connect with me today.
Many people refuse to watch horror movies because of the nightmares they may have. They choose to watch movies where the underdog succeeds, in spite of the odds, because most feel they are the proverbial underdog. Who is helping you realize all things are possible if you believe and work toward making your beliefs a reality? Who or what motivates you to move past your circumstances and press toward the achievement of your goals, dreams and aspirations? Who is telling you the things nightmares are made of when it comes to you trying to live your life to the fullest?  Make sure if you allow someone to pour into you, they are pouring things to enhance your life, and not the things that will take up space and suck the life out of you! Live your life to the fullest and let your desired success associate with others that desire success. Connect with me and find new ways to get rid of your fears and make your beliefs a reality.
To experience success, you must first expect success. When you expect success, you must do the things to mirror your expectations. When you expect defeat, you develop a defeatist attitude and either do things to make defeat a self-fulfilling prophecy. The key to success is to adopt an idea of success. When you develop an attitude that embraces success, you change your mindset from being a victim to a victor.  A victor is victorious in the endeavor they pursued. They are not concerned with obstacles, because they see them as opportunities to improve. They do not see problems as an issue, but potential chances to be better than they ever dreamed. When you expect success, you will find you are only interested in those things that will help you be successful. Expect success today and start living a life of success, TODAY!
Have you had any experiences in life that left you feeling victimized? I have techniques to give you a new path towards becoming victorious. 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! |
