What has occurred has been placed before you to teach you a lesson that you need to learn. Take an MM&I Moment...

Are you hiding behind assumptions, allowing them to dictate what you will and won't do? Building trust in yourself and with others requires showing up and being fully present.

Dec 18, 2017 - Is your short-term building your long-term? Is the effort you are putting into now building towards the future you desire?

Aug 6, 2012 – Is it really others holding you back? Are the actions of others affecting or hindering your ability to move forward with what you are trying to do? Is this someone you rely on and must count on or someone totally out of your control, but still having an impact and influence on what you can and cannot do? The more important question is, are you deferring blame and responsibility or are you really dealing with an obstacle? Are these “others” a convenient excuse, or are they...

June 18, 2012 – Is an obligation a burden? Have you been given or taken on an added responsibility or obligation that was not a part of your original plan? Do you feel imposed upon and side-tracked by this additional thing you must now get done? Being trusted to take on additional responsibility is telling you that you are valued.

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...

Dec 7, 2009 – Are you worried you are about to lose something? An opportunity? A part of your life you enjoy? An activity or responsibility at work that is rewarding to you? Are you concerned that something you value is possibly going to be taken away, go away or change in some way? Then your mind is caught up in the fearful thinking mode. When in a fearful state of mind, we tend to become stagnant as a result of thinking too much about what we fear could happen. It is time to take inspired...
