Motivation and Success Strategies

You Are More Amazing Than You Realize

You have within you nearly infinite resources. I thought it might be helpful to remind you about all the on-board assets you have working for you.

You have a body, mind, heart and soul built to create the life you want. Your body can go and go. Your mind can keep expanding. Your heart is unlimited in its capacity to love and give. Your soul carries the keys to all the wisdom and understanding available in the Universe.

Let’s take a look at each of these four aspects of who you are and the potential you have waiting for you to be explored and expressed.

Credibility and Qualifications: 5 Questions to Ask Before Enrolling in Traditional Education

Motivation

Perhaps one of the greatest dilemmas for anyone stepping out to start a new venture concerns whether or not to enroll in any traditional / institutional / formal education. Whether it is the possibility of engaging in a business degree, a journalism degree, a psychology degree, or any further graduate studies, what makes the decision challenging is that there is indeed a large element of credibility that comes with having a diploma.

For better or worse, people make many immediate assumptions based upon what appears on a resume. The million dollar question then, is whether or not the time and energy invested will really be worthwhile?

Your Decisions Matter – Start Making Empowering Choices

Motivation

We all come into this world the same: naked, scared, and ignorant. After that grand entrance, the life we end up with is simply an accumulation of all the choices we make. Our choices can be our best friend or our worst enemy. They can deliver us to our goals or send us orbiting into a galaxy far, far away.

Think about it. Everything in your life exists because you first made a choice about something. Choices are at the root of every one of your results. Each choice starts a behavior that over time becomes a habit. Choose poorly, and you just might find yourself back at the drawing board, forced to make new, often harder choices. Don’t choose at all, and you’ve made the choice to be the passive receiver of whatever comes your way.

Learn Something New! Get Your New Year On Track

Motivation

Are you suffering from a New Year’s hangover?

I am not talking about the sluggish state you may have found yourself in between New Year’s Eve parties and college bowl games. I am talking about all the reflecting and goal setting and affirming you may have poured into making this your best year ever.

I don’t mean to slight the seasonal tradition. It’s just that the process can be a bit overwhelming.

You might find yourself with so many goals that you don’t know where to begin. You could find yourself feeling incredible pressure or even numb.

Success Lesson: Learning from the Older Generation

Motivation

How many times does the average adult play the age card on their children? And then, how many children immediately refute any unwelcome advice with a comment of their own about old age, senility, or something else that is age-related?

It is an age-old scenario, and it seems that, even if there is mutual respect between generations, there will always be at least some kind of discord between each age group. However, each one of us would benefit from paying close attention to the advice of our elders.

Live a Life of Integrity, And Give The Gift That Keeps on Giving

Motivation

“The first great gift we can bestow on others is a good example.” — Thomas Morrell, Librettist

We have all heard or can appreciate these statements:

* “It is not what you say, it is what you do.”

* “Your actions speak so loudly that I cannot hear what you are trying to say.”

* “People hear what they see.”

Although the holidays are now behind us, there is still one “gift” we get to give daily: our example. And, there is one specific focus that can lead to demonstrating a powerful living example: Integrity.

The Power of Everyday Gurus

Motivation

Over the past several years I’ve become mindful of many ways that life supports us to expand and develop into something more than we imagined was possible in the days, weeks and months before. One way that life does this, which so many neglect to notice, is by sending us everyday gurus with something valuable to offer.

There are interesting people of all ages, not necessarily famous people, or rich or highly successful people, but very ordinary people that offer wonderful opportunities for us to learn something new about life and ourselves.

How to Make Your New Year Resolutions Stick

Motivation

As we now get further into the year I want to check in and ask how are you tracking against your New Year resolutions?

The turn of the New Year is the single most important time to reflect on your life. In fact, we all naturally do it. We do it because it’s one of the only milestones that continue to remind us of the importance of time. It forces us to reflect on our achievements and re-evaluate our future.

Train Your Brain To Attract What You Want With The Reticular Activating System

Motivation

You have an amazing “system” in your brain called “The reticular activating system” (RAS). The RAS is a part of the mammalian brain located in the brain stem.

You may be saying, “So what, Lisa!”

Well, this powerful gift can work for you in your desire to create success… (it can also work against you!)

The most important function of the RAS is its control of consciousness; it is believed to control the ability to consciously focus attention on something. Your RAS works as a phenomenal filtering system.

How You Use Your Gifts And Talents Makes The Difference

Motivation

Many of us use the acorn-to-oak-tree analogy to point out that it is not where you start but where you go that counts.

For the oak tree to grow from the acorn, the acorn needs rich soil in which to germinate, regular amounts of nourishing, refreshing water, as well as the warmth of the sun and perhaps gentle breezes from time to time.
