Create Something You Love!!

Get Ready for 2019

Hello everyone,

Can you believe it, we are almost at the end of another year.  I took the time this weekend to identify all the goals I accomplished, and those still on my list.   I found that through faith and perseverance, along with my passion for speaking, coaching and teaching, I could not be stopped.   Today, if you are an experienced professional or new to the field, I want you to realize the impact of doing something you love.   I want to encourage you to fall in love with your dreams, hold fast to what you love and create something with meaning and purpose.  When you work a job you hate, your Sunday nights take on a whole new meaning, because you know what is coming in the morning.   However, when you are engaged in something you love, you find that when it is time for you to rest,  you are still energized and motivated.   

Make a promise to yourself, to follow your dreams

Therefore, as we head towards the end of this year, make a decision to start where you are with your dreams.   Sometimes we can  become attached to our comfort zone and that keeps us from moving forward.  Therefore, as a strategy, I want you to start where you are, and begin to identify the reasons why you should write your book, start a business or nonprofit, go back to school, start a ministry, learn a language or take piano lessons.    

When you identify the reasons why you should start where you are, you will see they outweigh the reasons for staying in your comfort zone.  Therefore, make a promise to yourself to identify something that you love and are passionate about, start where you are and step out of your comfort zone.  If you do, 2019 can be your breakout year of success and fulfillment.

    Live Life to the Fullest

    Hello everyone,

    Can you believe it, we are quickly approaching the end of the year.   Today, I had time to think about my 2018 goals and determined, that I had a pretty good year.   I began to think about all the goals I accomplished, and the few goals that are still on my list.   I realized that one of my strategies was living life to the fullest.

    As I sit here thinking about what living life to the fullest truly means, I want to share my Version of this today.

    1. Do not allow others to control you.  It is important that you make the rules.
    2. Follow your own path.  Sometimes we allow other people’s opinions to derail our  progress.  We allow them to determine our steps.   When they determine your steps they control your destiny.
    3. Take chances on yourself.  One of my goals this year was to create an online course.  It required a lot of commitment but I finished, and now the course is available on Udemy.   Now I am working on my second course.   I took a chance on myself and it paid off.
    4. Identify something that scares you, and make a conscious effort to overcome it.   When you face that fear, you free yourself to move forward.   This may require a change in jobs, relationships or business opportunities.
    5. Let go of past hurts and mistakes, so you can grow.   At the beginning of the year, I put some experiences and some people behind me.   I knew that the only way for me to move forward with my business goals, was to let go of some pain and press toward my purpose.   It was the best decision I ever made.

    As we wrap up the year, think about some of the things that you can still do to move forward with your life.   Make an effort to accomplish one goal and use that achievement as a jump start to your successful 2019.
