Jan 2, 2019 – Caught up in "re-solutions"? Have you kicked off this New Year carrying over several goals that didn't quite get accomplished last year? Are many of your goals about changing what you are not happy with or based on what did not happen as you would have liked? When your focus is on all that "isn't" or "hasn't" or "wasn't," you are actually operating from a limitation mindset instead of an abundance mindset. You are in a state of what I call "re-solutions" … revisiting old...

Sept 11, 2017 - Experiencing growing pains? Are you feeling challenged by circumstances in your life, work, or business, and it's taking its toll emotionally or physically? Do you find yourself wishing things could just be easier or less stressful? Instead of viewing the challenge as an affront or something that is holding you back, consider the likelihood that it is helping you grow and evolve to your next level of being and doing, once you get to the other side of it. Take an MM&I Moment...

Feb 3, 2014 - Is working your refuge or curse? Are you a self-proclaimed workaholic, or a reluctant workaholic? Is your work and career a satisfying aspect of your life or merely a job? If you are a self-proclaimed workaholic, is it because you prefer to focus your time and energy on your work because you find greater satisfaction from it than you do from other aspects of your life? If so, consider why other aspects of your life are not fulfilling and what you could do to realize more...

Dec 31, 2012 – How are you evolving? How are you evolving to help you take things to your next level of achievement for the year ahead? What are you doing to gain more knowledge, awareness, insight or understanding? Instead of focusing on making resolutions, focus instead on evolution. Instead of focusing on what needs to be changed or fixed, focus instead on what can be better or advanced. Too often, we focus too much on what is not happening instead of what is happening. Take an MM&I...

Nov 12, 2012 – Is your passion contagious? How are you allowing your passion to excite and empower others? Is your passion contagious? To be passionate is exciting, but to be passionate with purpose is inviting. When you have passion with purpose, there is an energy for doing things and creating that incites others to want to know more, learn more and do more. By engaging others through your passion and purpose, you bring out their desire to be a part of what you are seeking to achieve. You...

June 11, 2012 – Is someday always your response? Have you caught yourself saying that someday you will get around to doing something? Someday you will be able to finally do what you want to do? Someday things will be different than they are right now? As the saying goes, “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift, that’s why they call it the present.” … Someday is now. Don’t let your past hold you back towards your future. And don’t let what is happening...

Jan 23, 2012 – Weighed down by obligations? Is a current commitment you have made weighing heavy on you right now? Are you feeling the weight of its obligation more than the call to its purpose and meaning? Is it no longer something that excites you or inspires you and yet you don’t want to let others down? If a commitment or obligation feels more like a burden than a blessing, then understanding why it feels this way is the first step to dealing with it in order to move on. Take an...

Jan 2, 2012 – Focused on changing instead of growing? Are you focused on what you are going to change in the year ahead or what you are going to progress and take to the next level? If you are focused only on what you want to change then you are missing the golden opportunity in making what is already working, go to even greater heights. If you are focused only on what you feel you need to change about yourself, then you are missing the chance to evolve and grow in ways you couldn’t...
03. January 2011
Jan 3, 2011 – Are you changing instead of evolving? Have you launched into this year with total commitment to changing something in some way? Is it all about more this, more that, or less of this and less of that? Is your focus on changing or growing? If you get too caught up in a mindset of change, you may actually be hindering your efforts to achieve. Instead, be committed to growth and evolving from where you are now to where you want to be. When you accept and then focus on learning how...
22. March 2010
March 22, 2010 – Want to improve, not change? Is there something that you would like to improve about yourself? Notice I didn’t use the word change? A focus on continuous improvement creates something better whereas a continuous focus on changing creates chaos and discontent. Every day there is an opportunity for us to evolve and improve. This does not mean we are changing. It merely means we are growing and learning along the way. Take an MM&I Moment to list some ways you can improve...
