Read MoreMorning Motivation — Do you realize how much you have?
Do you realize how much you have? Even the person on the street has more than you think. Maybe you don’t agree with how they’re living and maybe its not the most ideal experience they want to be experiencing themselves but they have enough to create something from: They have their life! We all do. Let’s stop complaining about the size of our asses, the crappy weather, our aches and pains. Let’s stop wanting more of everything—money, love, cars, attention. Before we ask for, buy, or go after anything new, different, or seemingly better, let’s first acknowledge, see, appreciate and create from what we already have—legs to walk on, air to breathe, food to eat,...
Read MoreMorning Motivation — Where are you dreaming to go?
Where are you dreaming to go? Wherever you’re dreaming of going begin taking baby steps immediately to get there. Whether you want to visit Paris or Utah or Russia or Israel or Istanbul or Seattle it’s time to add planning to that dream. Will you need a passport? How much money do you need to make the trip? How long will it take you to save that amount? What time of year can you get vacation time? Where will you stay? What do you want to do when you get there? Figure it all out. Start putting five or ten or a hundred dollars away a month right now that is ear notched for this dream and this dream alone. Start researching. Start looking for creative...
Read MoreMorning Motivation — Are you seeing the big picture?
Are you seeing the big picture? Sometimes it’s easy to get lost in the minutia of every day life—the myriad tiny details that must happen, must get done every moment of every day just to exist, to continue on, to cover the basics. But if you can catch your breath, take a step back and survey the big picture, things will look different. Do you like what you see? If not, change your daily actions! Your big picture tells you what you need to adjust on a daily basis to get the result you want. What small changes can you make on a daily basis that will help shift the bigger picture of your life? Eat healthier? Move more? Save a little money? Take a class? ...
Read MoreMorning Motivation — Are you watching life go by?
Are you watching life go by? Sometimes the world is so busy, so crazy, so chaotic, so interesting it’s easy to get caught up in watching everyone else’s tragedies, triumphs and train wrecks instead of focusing on your own life. No more watching life go by! No more watching other people’s lives instead of creating your own life. Gossip television and the online headlines are pretty hard to pass up but it’s time to get going on creating your own headlines. It’s time to get busy living your own life. Begin by deciding right here and right now you are just as interesting, you are just as important and you can live instead of live vicariously. What do you want...

Read MoreCollege Desk Column: The College Student’s Balancing Act
To work or not to work. That is the question that many college students, including myself, face. Throughout my three years at Otterbein University, I had gone in and out of jobs (no, I’m not that bad a worker) trying to find the perfect balance of work and school. The problem is, there are so many things to account for that it can be a pain trying to find what works best. Although I’m still trying to find what works well for me, hopefully I can help shed some light on this sideshow balancing act of school and work. The first thing that has to be taken into consideration would have to be the money. Money, as everyone knows, is used for everything. Need gas? Spend...
Read MoreMorning Motivation — Are you in process?
Are you in process? No matter where you are in life you’re always in process—of changing, of growing, of expanding, of shrinking, of letting go, of discovering. Instead of freaking out about the pain of the transition, what if you simply be in it, accept it, embrace it, let it run its course? What if you create from the process you’re in no matter what process or stage it is? Growing pains? Create from them. Aging? Create from it. Falling in love? Create from him or her or it. Healing? Create from it. Breaking up? Create from it. Getting an education? Create from it. Having huge success? Create from it. Never stop creating from whatever process...
Read MoreMorning Motivation — Where’s your favorite spot to get away?
Where’s your favorite spot to get away? Wherever your favorite spot to get away from everything and everyone and rest is—a chair, a tree, a corner, a yard, a park, a dark movie theatre—get there! It’s time for a break, a rest, a recovery, a cup of tea, a quiet moment, time to reflect. It’s time to get away, however brief, and fill your creative well. Slip away to your favorite spot. Your creativity will thank you. Find your spot. Create a getaway. Create rest, rejuvenation and peace of mind. What are you going to create?...
