May 28, 2018 - Are you aiming high enough? Are you pushing yourself enough to go for something you really want to achieve? Are you making yourself just a little uncomfortable in what it will take for your to reach that goal? Are you putting yourself in a place where you are challenged and will need to take on a task, ability, or initiative that is beyond the scope of what you have done before? The only way to achieve what we ultimately desire, we must be willing to attempt what we have not...

May 7, 2018 - Are you wavering? Is something you have been striving to achieve beginning to feel like it is not possible? Are you starting to second guess yourself in what you have been doing or are about to do? Are you losing confidence in your ability to proceed and succeed? Our passion feeds our faith in ourselves and in what we are doing. When you are passionate about something, it is a part of you so completely that you simply believe. Call it blind faith; it is confidence in its purest...

March 26, 2018 - Are your reasons compelling enough? Are you striving to achieve based on a clear purpose and desired outcome, or are you striving to reach certain attainments based what is expected or has been dictated? Are you impassioned and inspired to succeed or are outside influences driving you to succeed? Too often we allow what is deemed successful to cloud what would make us even more successful. If you are not realizing an ongoing satisfaction and gratification, then other factors or...

Sept 18, 2017 - Is it all up to you? Do you feel as though you are all alone in your quest for a particular goal or venture? Does it seem as though everything that needs to get done is reliant on you and actions you must take? You are never alone in your desires for what you want. There is always someone who desires the same or would like to help someone determined to succeed. It is all a matter of being open to all possible resources, options, and support, and sharing with others to see how...

Dec 5, 2016 - Are you looking confidently forward? Are your thoughts for the year ahead filled with uncertainty and doubt, or excitement and anticipation? Are you seeing the progress you made this year as empowering or disappointing? No matter what has happened or did not happen, embrace what helped you move forward, even in the slightest of ways. Whether it is in knowledge, ability, understanding, insight, or strengthening of character, you have gained much if only you allow yourself to see...

Sept 28, 2015 - Are you second guessing yourself? Are you doubting your next steps or how you are going about tackling a particular problem or initiative? Are you venturing into unknown territory, which is playing a head game with your confidence in being able to accomplish what you are setting out to do? Pushing yourself beyond where you've been is exactly what you need to do to succeed in life. Understanding what is happening inside your head is how you continue to leap ahead in whatever you...

July 1, 2013 - What are you proud of? Have you stopped lately to appreciate what you have accomplished? Do you give yourself enough credit for what you have overcome or the progress you are making? Too often we spend so much time focused on what we still need to get done that we don't take proper time to acknowledge and truly value what we have already done. The real value in taking this time is in what it helps us understand about ourselves that can make the next steps towards achievement...

March 4, 2013 - How are you empowering yourself? Do you feel as though you are in an uphill climb with every step forward only resulting in two steps back in trying to achieve your goals? Is your focus more on the steps backward than the step forward? When you allow yourself to get caught up in what is not going well, you are giving the challenges more power over you than the triumphs. The greatest way to empower your ability to truly move forward is to put all your energy and focus on what is...

Jan 28, 2013 - What do you need to overcome to succeed? What do you believe are your obstacles right now to your success? What do you think is holding you back from moving forward or progressing in the way that you would like to go? As I stated in the introduction to Section 2 in my book, Me, Myself & Inc, “Real or imagined, an excuse or reality, imposed or predisposed – whatever is keeping you from where you want to be personally or professionally is all a matter of what you believe or...

10. September 2012

Sept 10, 2012 – Are you inspired to succeed? Do you give enough credit to what inspires you and who needs to be inspired with you? Or are you so driven to succeed that your focus is mostly on what you expect to receive when you have realized success? While clear expectations are essential to knowing where you are heading, ever-flowing inspiration can catapult you even closer and perhaps even further than you expected. Being inspired not only engages others along in the process, opening...
