Jan 8, 2018 - Are you making room for opportunity? Is your office and thinking still focused on everything that is yet to happen? Are there files that have been sitting there for a while in your inactive control? Are you surrounded by files, piles or stacks of things that have been completed, and yet have not made their way to a safe archive? Are you doing anything differently compared to last year based on your results and earnings? When you are allowing all that was or has not yet happened...

Feb 15, 2016 - Are you wishing or intending? Do you find yourself wishing "if only" something could be different ... you could be different ... something would happen ... some sort of miracle would take place? When you are caught in a wishful mindset, you are passively seeing it as something that must happen for you, or to you, before you can do anything associated with it. The reality is that you have great power to make things happen. It starts with how you are conceiving and perceiving...

May 12, 2014 - Is your passion contagious? When you speak to others about what you are striving to achieve, are you speaking in a way that engages and inspires them to help you? Are you in awe of others who seem to have this magic way of making their passion spread like a wildfire across a room, across a community or across an industry or marketplace? Part of instilling passion begins with having passion. Once you unleash your own passion for others to see and hear, then you will be amazed at...

Oct 21, 2013 - Are you accepting mediocrity? Do you feel as though everyone around you is merely working or completing things at the bare minimum necessary? Do you feel as if they are focusing just on what will be sufficient for meeting versus exceeding expectations? If some of these individuals are working directly with you or for you, then you may be falling victim to accepting mediocrity. If you are not clearly defining expectations or are simply thinking that there is nothing that you can...

Sept 16, 2013 - Is something slightly out of reach? Do you feel that you are very close to a breakthrough, or are close to achieving a particular goal or initiative, but just cannot get there and are uncertain why? Does it seem as though just when you think you have done what is necessary, the requirements or expectations change, making you feel further away instead of closer to where you want to be? Sometimes our perception of what it takes or what is blocking us is the real issue to be...

Sept 9, 2013 - Are you "high-fiving" enough? Are you focused only on the big wins in your work or career and you are not celebrating the small successes that are helping you get there? Are you beginning to feel that some of your goals may be too lofty and that you should adjust them? Setting your sights high is of great merit as long as you are also recognizing your small successes along the way. Why is this important? Because when you take the time to acknowledge these minor accomplishments,...

Sept 2, 2013 - Is your work a labor of love? As you celebrate this Labor Day, do you view the work that you do as a labor of love or a labor of necessity? Do you gain gratification and satisfaction from the work you do, or is it merely a means to an end such as a paycheck or a lifestyle? Do you feel passionate about the work that you do or do you feel passive, only doing what needs to be done to get by? If you answered the latter in any of these questions, it is time to take stock in your work...

July 22, 2013 - Are you caught in limbo? Are you dealing with a particular challenge or circumstance that has you feeling uncertain about the future or which direction you need to go? Do you feel trapped in a situation that appears to be keeping you in limbo, without anything really moving you forward? Are there real and tangible barriers holding you back or only imagined barriers that you are allowing to hold you back? Uncertainty and unexpected disruptions are never easy, but they should not...

Feb 4, 2013 – Do you welcome opportunities? Do you welcome opportunities into your life? Are you effectively inviting opportunities in? One of the biggest obstacles in being able to shift into a success and satisfaction mode in your life is being able to identify and be receptive to opportunities placed right in front of you. This means not dismissing things at surface level, but being open to exploring a bit more before determining its real value to you. It also means sharing in order to...

14. November 2011

Nov 14, 2011 - Not feeling inspired enough, how does your life inspire you? How does your work excite you and inspire you? How does the work that you do inspire and enrich the life that you lead? If your life and work seem disconnected in some way, then you are most likely feeling torn between the two and not all that inspired. The key to loving what you do for a living and enjoying your life is being engaged in both in a way that allows them to feed, nourish and support the other on a...
