Aug 31, 2015 - Is what you don't know the problem? Or is it the solution? Have you put great effort and time into learning and knowing all there is to know about what you are doing, only to find yourself stuck compared to where you would like to be? Have you used your know-how quite effectively so far, only to now find it is not enough? What we have known or currently know is always going to be infiltrated from all sides by new information, ways of being and doing. How we embrace what is around...

March 30, 2015 - Are your questions seeking answers? Or are your questions reinforcing your doubts or concerns more than they are helping you to gain insight or information needed to move ahead? Questioning is a powerful means of making progress when used constructively instead of destructively. Posing questions to yourself that are instilling doubt such as, "Can I really accomplish this?" or "Am I sure I really want to take the risk?" or "Do I really have what it is going to take?" are...

March 16, 2015 - Are you wishing for a little luck? Are you finding yourself in a hopeful state of mind that is actually inhibiting your progress instead of aiding it? When you are too focused on luck being your pathway to success, you may be overlooking the very things that will open the floodgates to your success. Luck is not given. It's earned. People who are lucky make their own luck. Even the lottery cannot be won unless you buy a ticket. The point is, every effort made is a step toward...

June 17, 2013 - Are you taking things too personally? Do you feel annoyed and irritated whenever someone does not agree with you, or when something doesn't occur exactly as you had hoped? Do you find yourself immediately being defensive or emotionally reactive in certain situations? Do you find yourself revisiting things that irritate or annoy you over and over in your mind or even with others to the point of distraction? What is occurring in all of these instances is that you are taking things...

April 22, 2013 - Is not knowing sabotaging you? Do you allow what you "don't know" to get the best of you? Do you begin to conjure up scenarios in your mind that not only consume your thinking, but distract you from the progress you could be making in other areas? Have you taken a particular effort as far as you can take it by yourself, and are now at the mercy of what and how others are doing to move it forward? Has releasing control to someone else in what you are trying to accomplish left...

April 1, 2013 - Are you fooling yourself? Are you fooling yourself into believing that you must have all the answers or know all the options before proceeding with a particular initiative or project you have underway? When you get caught up in a need to have all the answers or options first, you can easily get stuck in a quagmire of never having all that you need to proceed. To truly make progress, your best opportunities come from taking action on what you know right now and therefore, what...

March 19, 2012 – Overwhelmed with choices? Do you have too many options to consider and are afraid you will make the wrong choice? Do you have many directions you could take but are paralyzed by the uncertainty of where they may lead? Instead of viewing these with an overwhelmed mindset, realize the true power you have in your possession because you have options and choices. Take an MM&I Moment to list each of your options or choices. Then list with each what makes them worth considering...

February 20, 2012 – Are your exploring the possibilities? Do you have an idea but do not know where to take it or if it is even worth pursuing? Is it related to what you are doing in your work now or totally different? Is it something you have thought before, but now are seeing it as more tangible to explore? Never discount your ideas simply because you are uncertain where to begin. Take an MM&I Moment to write down the idea and what you think needs to happen next to see if its viable,...

Jan 16, 2012 – Putting goals on hold? Do you have personal or professional goals that you have put on the back burner because you believe they must wait until other things get done? If there is something you really want to achieve, it should be embraced and not put on hold. Even if your plate seems full beyond comprehension, there are still little things you can do to move whatever it is you truly want forward. Take an MM&I Moment to think about those goals you want to achieve...

Jan 10, 2011 - Are your actions purposeful? Are you working purposefully towards your goals on a daily basis? Or is your work primarily focused on production and getting you to a place where you can really start focusing on your goals? If you are putting your goals on hold until you can get to a certain point, then you are like the hamster on the wheel forever being active, but not getting where you really want to be going. Take an MM&I Moment to commit yourself to doing one small thing...
