Ever have that feeling where you foresee the results of something before it even happens and that overwhelming moment of dread or fear kicks in? Or maybe you don’t see it coming, and suddenly without warning you’re hit dead on with opposition, failure, and/or defeat. We’ve all been there. Moments of tragedy. Despair. Anguish. How could this be happening to me, you ask. You’ve done everything you can to prepare and set yourself up for success. Interestingly enough, life is ful

With a better understanding of time now under our belts how well are you pushing through the nonsense? Last week I challenged you to push yourself into immediate action. How did it that go? Be honest. If we learned that time waits for no one, then we must push through with everything we’ve ever wanted. There will always be a reason why we shouldn’t go for it. Why we should quit. Why we should reconsider the options. etc … but hanging tight to the notion that the time is now

In light of last week’s Presidential election results it’s no secret that as a country we are more divided than ever. From race to religion, economic status, and basic rights for humanity the use of divisive rhetoric has the country torn. Families are up in arms, personal relationships, social circles and what we might have once viewed as safe spaces are no longer. It’s been a tough time for most, no matter what your opinion on the matter has been, and the question for many a

I’ve made mention before that as a child I always had something to say. I loved asking questions and constantly remained curious about what was happening around me. Often times about things that were none of my business or outside of my comprehension levels, yet I still had this burning desire to know and learn about it. We’ve all heard the saying “curiosity killed the cat”. Well I was often times the cat. Somewhere, somehow along the way we’ve increasingly allowed the idea t

I’ve found myself discussing the concept of responsibility a lot in conversation over the past few days/ weeks so I thought it might be something interesting to bring to light this week. What does the word responsibility mean to you? By definition it means the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something or of having control over someone. I think this is the general definition that comes to mind for many of us. Having to take care of something or someone. We learn

I recently came across a quote that read “you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”- Jim Rohn Without thinking about it too much, who are those five people in your life? And when you think about them are they who you would most like yourself to reflect. You know that old saying you are the company you keep? Well, it’s true and this is what I would like to focus on this week. We’ve had some time to reflect on the idea of concept and if we now can fu

I initially brainstormed around several different topics that I wanted to discuss this week but after a recent conversation with my mom there’s one fundamental element that I can’t seem to shake and that is one of gratitude. With all this talk about change and cultivating the life you want we often get distracted from all that we currently have and the foundations that allow us to propel forward in the ways which we possibly could never imagine. The idea of being grateful for

So… How did things go last week? Are you dreaming bigger and better than ever before? Are you feeling re-energized and excited about your life and the work that lies ahead? What are your biggest fears and or roadblocks that might keep you from moving forward? And adversely, what are you most excited and enthused about? These are all questions I would like you to keep in mind as we delve into this next week and the idea of constructing or dismantling structure around our new d

Most often when we think of strength we think of physical aptitude. How much muscle mass someone has stored to exert physical energy. Common images that come to mind might be flexed arms, a six pack, or strong legs. Or you might think of someone lifting weights or some other heavy object. The dictionary defines strength first and foremost as the quality or state of being physically strong. Secondly it defines it as the ability to resist being moved or broken by a force. Final

For those of you who know me well you know I live by the motto #StayReady, because as the old adage goes…. When you stay ready you don’t have to get ready. My parents instilled this idea within my sister and I from an early age and it’s something that just stuck. It was their mission in life to make sure that we were always prepared for whatever was to come our way. They knew, as adults, that life was full of challenges and obstacles that could potentially stand in the way of
