Dec 11 – Is what’s outside dictating what’s inside? Are you dealing with situations that are out of your control to correct or influence? Are you frustrated by what is occurring around you or what feels like is occurring TO you? Instead of allowing everything that is happening outside of you to dictate how you are feeling on the inside, allow your own strength from deep within to surface and propel you forward. 

Dec 4 – Is it time to stop wishing? Are you wishing things could be different or would happen faster or more easily? Does it feel as though you are always just out of reach of where you want to be? This wishful way of thinking could be the problem. Think back to your childhood and how wishes came true through the magic of a fairy godmother or genie. We have been conditioned to believe that wishes being granted are out of our control from a very young age. However, what you desire and truly want in your life should not be viewed as a wish, but what it actually is … a desire … a goal. Once you stop wishing and start giving yourself the power you have within you to achieve it, you are now embracing the power of HOPE.

Nov 27 – Are you limiting your possibilities? When it comes to what you are striving to achieve, how open are you to all the possible ways to make it happen?  Have you devised a plan that has you so laser focused, you may be closing yourself off to opportunities? Do you believe that only people in your professional circles can help you in your business or career, or that only people in your personal circles can help you in your life? Are you open to suggestions on ways to accomplish things, or have you decided your way is the only or best way? When you are driven to succeed, your greatest means of excelling dwell in your ability to be open, to listen, and to be curious. 

Are you so focused on what needs to be done that you feel like you haven’t come up for air in you don’t know how long? Have you become a taskmaster and list maker where checking off your to-do’s is your only source of gratification right now? What about your satisfaction? Are you enjoying what you are doing or merely doing what you are doing? Without making attempts to go further or zig while others zag, we may never stumble on those opportunities that open up a whole new world of possibilities to us. 

Nov 13 – Is it too much or too real? Do you feel overwhelmed by all that you have set out to do, even though it excites you at the same time? Do you worry that you have bitten off more than you can chew? Do you find yourself afraid of actually accomplishing what you are trying to do and whether you can handle the success, responsibility or next level you will enter into? When we push ourselves beyond where we have ever been before, it can be scary. It takes many small triumphs to realize a big achievement, with each success moving you further forward.  When you have reached where you have never been before, you should pause to appreciate how far you have come.  

Nov 6 – Are you in your own head? Are your thoughts serving you or severing your ability to accomplish all that you desire and want? Are you hindering your ability to be open, aware, motivated, or intentional? Are you wishing things could be different? Are you afraid to admit what is holding you back or not even clear what it is that is holding you back? Your thoughts are either elevating or undermining your greatest opportunities in your present or future. Transforming what is inside your head is what you need to do in order to ensure that what is coming out in thoughts is serving you in all facets of your life. 

Oct 30 – Are you focused or frantic? Are you going, going, going at a breakneck speed to get all that you are trying to achieve done? Are you juggling quite a bit and actually enjoy the frantic pace? Do you believe it is just the way it must be at this time to keep things moving on many fronts? With all that you have going on, how many of these responsibilities and activities are true priorities that are key to getting you to your next level of achievement or what you desire most? What are you doing that is actually pulling you away from these priorities?  The more focused you are and the more clarity you have, the more aligned your actions and outcomes will be.

Are you taking steps that are building momentum? Are you making moves that are moving you forward? If you feel like you are constantly in motion yet still aren’t getting anywhere, it may be time to assess how you are prioritizing actions and the choices you are making. Are you building off of successes or always in a “try something new” mode? Are you reinventing the wheel or allowing what is working to inspire next-best actions towards success?  Each decision and choice you make is an opportunity to create momentum. When you act from a place of vision and focus, you attract even more ways to build momentum. 

Are you caught up in a plethora of directions you could go or choices you need to make in order to move forward? Are you viewing this abundance of options as so overwhelming, you don’t know where to begin? When choices need to be made, view them as an opportunity to manage your destiny. Take a moment with each choice to see how it aligns with your values, your purpose, and your vision. When your choices align with your innate knowing from your inner wisdom, they cannot help but propel you forward.
