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?

May 11, 2015 - Are you burdened by needs? Is your focus currently so stressed by what you feel you need in order to proceed, that you are not able to put energy into what you ultimately want and desire? Too often, when we feel a lack of something that we believe is needed to move forward, we allow this perceived need to hold us hostage in our efforts to achieve. Don't allow your perception of need to dictate what you can do right now. Instead, allow your desire to achieve open your mind to...

When we are caught up in life's drama or work's chaos, it can be easy to not see what needs to be done due to being distracted by the minutia or to subconsciously avoid taking action as a defense mechanism. One of the best things you can do for yourself when you are in the midst of what feels like immense pressure and...

Feb 23, 2015 - Are you welcoming adversity? Are you frustrated by challenges to the point of distraction instead of embracing these challenges for what they are attempting to help you know or understand?

If everything was easy, would you feel as though you had accomplished much? Chances are, no, you would not. The key is to expect you...

Feb 16, 2015 - Are you too focused to see? Are you so driven to accomplish something that you may not be able to see opportunities, options and resources that could get you there faster? Are you so set on a course of action, that you could be blind-sided by an unexpected development or unconsidered variable? Focus is important in any endeavor you undertake. But don't allow your focus to cause you to be narrow-minded or single-minded which could result in making poor decisions. When your focus...
