How do you know if you’re almost there?
Morning Motivation Everything is a process—from conception to execution to existing to destruction. Being born. Bearing fruit. Bringing about change. Every creation goes through a metamorphosis—it doesn’t just pop out perfectly formed. Even if you are creating a smile it’s a process of muscle movements that get you there. One movement builds on the next until you’re in full-blown Smileville. Remember, you are always in process, so, no matter where you are you’re almost there! Keep going. Keep adjusting. Keep changing. Keep moving forward. Keep evolving. Keep creating. You’re always in process. You’re always almost there. Keep going. Keep creating....

Be confident you’re going where you’re meant to go. Stop worrying whether or not you’ll get there. Stop stressing about when you’ll arrive. You’re already here now.

Read MoreWhat’s your mission of the day?
Morning Motivation What if you wake up every morning and assign yourself one duty, one task—one mission—for the day?

Read MoreAre you living in the clouds?
Morning Motivation There’s a difference between thinking you can and actually taking action to see if you do. The power of positive thought is just that—powerful. But, if it’s not followed up with and combined with conscious creating those thoughts will never become literal things—they will stay in the ethers, in the figurative clouds, in your imagination alone. What you want to create will never actually manifest if you don’t take action to create it. If you are living in the clouds of your thoughts it’s time you get grounded in reality taking very real actions to create your dreams. No matter how positive, thoughts alone will not get you where you want to...
Read MoreAre you stopping when you get stopped?
Morning Motivation When you arrive at the point where something stops you, don’t actually stop, get creative and figure out how to keep going instead! Climb over that fence, jump that hurdle, scale that wall, solve that problem, go around it, suck it up and stick to it. What’s the worst thing that could happen? You could get a few scratches from the barbed wire. You could pull a hamstring. You could fall. There could be another block around the corner. It could suck after you suck it up. Big deal! If you don’t ever try to keep going after you’ve been stopped how will you ever know for sure it will hurt, it will be impossible, it will be that bad, or if,...

Read MoreAre you creating a solid foundation?
Morning Motivation Do you have a strong enough foundation from which to grow from, to build from, to create from? Are your basic needs met? Are you working hard but still able to smile, to free your mind to create from what you have? Or are you stressing out—overextended and out of your body? Your first priority must be to build a foundation that you are able to create more than just survival. Create a foundation that allows you to thrive!
