When we’re lead by a Vision, our lives will have purpose and meaning. It doesn’t have to be universe-altering type of dreams. That a family with its connection and bond be the greatest accomplishment is big enough. The important thing to recognize is what gift we possess and discover how to best serve others with it. It won’t hurt that expression of our gift is something we love or can get rich doing. We are here to cause a difference in the lives of others. There is significance in our actions. Awareness of the impact we make will guide us. |

 We tend get stuck in a place called there and a time called then. To get present, we must remember that the only experience we can ever truly have is in a place called Here and a time called Now. It is true that there is no time like the present. What business do we really have in the past or future anyway? The past can be a great teacher and a nice place to reminisce, though what’s happening is only happening Now. If you can predict the future, I’d like to invite you to meet me at the racetrack. |

Manifestation occurs when we have a solid Intention. Once that Intention is set, we must take that first, critical step towards what we’ve Declared. The initial Action comes from our Commitment. Without Committed Action, what we desire to Create isn’t left as much to chance as it is left to a fate or destiny that often resembles Mediocrity or worse Victimhood. When one is authentically committed, obstacles will shrink away as they are approached. Recall times when you have created something magnificent and notice your authentic Commitment. Now, check your failures and you’ll quickly see that Authentic Commitment was missing. |

Conviction can be a great motivator. Having solid Faith or Belief in something is often respected and admired. Issues arise when our Certainty becomes something that others must adhere to. There is an element of responsibility that comes with sharing our viewpoints, even when we feel strongly about our ideas. Unless we have permission to share our opinions, people hearing what we have to say may pass it through a filter that will eliminate the value of the content due to the delivery, not the message. It is true that it’s not what you say, but how you say it. |

Events in life can cause us to transform ourselves. Choices that others make may provide a new environment that we have not asked for. Critically, we must look at our contribution to the outcome. We can choose to be victimized by circumstances or determine that what lies in front of us is an opportunity, choosing to act responsibly about it. The main element is our choice. When we decide that the next step is ours to take and let go of any fears, doubts or insecurities, we are empowered and are now accessing our power, rather than giving it away. |

 This is a beautiful way to let those you care for know that you appreciate them. It’s not so much about what they do or say, it’s about whom and how they are being. Take a moment to observe how they love and how they give their love. Be in love with that! Then, in a loving way, communicate your observation with these simple words: I Love Your Love. You can then provide examples, though that’s not necessary. Give this gift without expecting the same to be returned in kind. When authentically shared, others will give back in due course. |

“When the Vision for our lives is so massive, impacting many lives, how we feel at any given moment is small and inconsequential in size, scope and relation to that Vision.” This is a paraphrased quote from Dr. Ray Blanchard, Master Trainer. This wisdom speaks to us letting go of the mundane and, at times, insidious thoughts that keep our creativity stuck. This is what procrastination feeds upon. Worse, our fears grow larger when they win, so it’s a good idea to practice defeating our doubts. Success comes from taking risks, having the courage to see beyond what stops us. |

Beliefs are powerful. They can move entire nations. It is as equally important to question our beliefs as it is to confirm and affirm them daily. Conspiracy theorists would have us think that our beliefs are indoctrinated within us through media, education, social, political and spiritual venues that benefit governments, religions and corporations. To an extent, whether we like it or not, the conspirators are winning. Yet who is truly in control? The remedy to brainwashing is heart-cleansing. What does your inner-voice tell you? If we’re busy convincing others what to believe, it may time to listen instead of telling. |

Giving without the intention of receiving is much easier said than done. We all want something and our actions seem predestined to be on purpose for “what’s in it for me?” The magic is that the receiving is in the giving. It isn’t wrong or bad to know that there will be benefit derived from our giving. Authentic giving comes from putting the receiver first. This can be difficult when we’re constantly reminded to take care of ourselves in order to be of greatest service to others. The key is to Be good, then Do good, resulting in good things. |

 What is and what isn’t, apart from facts, can often simply be what we make of it. When we choose to be real and honest with ourselves, we can determine things to be supportive and beneficial in ways that transcend our previous beliefs. Likewise, when we decide that non-supportive, non-beneficial ideas about us are true, we will tend to cause ourselves and those around us great challenge and struggle. Perspective is critical and checking our view with others that we trust can create an experience of authenticity beyond our wildest dreams. Choosing to have integrity with ourselves requires extensive practice. |
