Where do you start?
Morning Motivation No matter what you want to create—health, peace, a rested body, happiness, a business, art, love, a connection—you have to start. The sun rises and sets every day. The earth is in constant motion. The Universe never stops expanding. It never stops creating. We can’t either. Even if you don’t know where to start just start somewhere, anywhere, small, big, in between—doesn’t matter—as long as you start creating from wherever you are with whatever you have right now. Take the first step. That’s creating something—a start. Just start. Never stop. Creating. From what you have. What are you going to create? ...
Read MoreWhat are you planting?
Morning Motivation Whatever you plant is what will grow. Ideas, energy, feelings, connections, opportunities—all seeds you plant with every thought, every word, every action, every second of every day. What are you planting? Is it exactly what you want to grow? Is it the seeds of what you want to create? If not, change it! You control what you put in your body, you decide what you say to others, you determine what actions you take out in the world. Consciously plant positive seeds for your health, your mind, your relationships, your career, your financial security and your spirit to grow into the life you want to create. Be conscious. Plant positivity....
Read MoreAre you ready for takeoff?
Morning Motivation Instead of thinking you need your bags perfectly packed, your itinerary mapped out to the last minute, and all the appliances unplugged before you can get out of the starting gate, just take off from wherever you are with whatever you have right now. Waiting takes away your power. Taking off feeds it. By taking off towards your goals, your aspirations and your dreams from where you are with what you have, you immediately begin to take control over where you’re going. Empower yourself by creating from what you have now. Don’t wait. Take off. Create. Now. From what you have. What are you going to create? ...
Read MoreHow do you view you?
Morning Motivation The most important view you have is the view of yourself. Do you see your potential? Are you looking down on yourself? Are you looking up? Where are you looking at? Where are you looking from? Who are you looking to? Do you recognize all that you have to create with? If you don’t like the current view, change it. Look at yourself with x-ray vision and see beyond the external, beyond your past, beyond ideas of who you or anyone else thinks you are. See the unique beauty and colorful light of who you are capable of being. Take those newly discovered colors and create a new view of you—one you love. View yourself with love. Love the...

Read MoreWhat time is it?
Morning Motivation Instead of worrying about how much time you have or whether you’re wasting your precious time, shift your thinking to clearly see what time it really is: right now. And right now you can do anything! Take stock of what you have—literally as well as figuratively—from the shoes in your closet, to the contacts in your phone, to the beliefs in your heart. See it all. Give thanks for it all. Get creative with it all! Look for new combinations, fresh ideas, unseen opportunities. Create something from what you have right now. No more waiting to create. The time is now. Begin. Create something. What are you going to create today? ...
Read MoreWhat do you really need to create something from?
Morning Motivation We live in a world that wants more of everything it has and doesn’t have, and then some. More, more, more. It usually takes a war or a crisis—financial, health, emotional—to make us slow down and take a look at what we already have in our lives, appreciate it and do something with it. Don’t wait for a crisis. What do you really need to create something from? You need exactly whatever you have right now. You always have enough to create something from—a smile, kindness, ideas, intelligence, talent, love. No one thing you don’t have is stopping you from creating. Instead of wanting what you don’t have, really look at what you do have and...
