Are you stopping to smell the roses?
Morning Motivation Sometimes you need to create calm. Sometimes you need to create a slower pace. Sometimes you need to create peace. Sometimes you need to stop and smell the roses. Don’t hesitate to create whatever you need whenever you need it! Yes, creating paid bills is vital, creating new revenue is key to expansion, but without taking care of your mental and physical wellbeing, none of it matters. Don’t forget to create a healthy, happy you—the basis for creating everything else you want. Stop. Breathe. Take in the quiet. Rejuvenate your energy. Create what you need when you need it. What are you going to create?...
Read MoreIs the tide turning?
Morning Motivation Even if it feels like it isn’t, the tide is always turning. If it’s low, it will inevitably become high. If it’s high, it will eventually be low again. The only thing that never changes is that everything changes! Just keep creating from what you have until it does. Things will get better. You will find the answer. You will discover the solution. You will get to the other side. It is important to practice patience and keep your balance as you weather the turning tides. Be patient. Keep your balance. The tide will turn. Create from change—something you always have. What are you going to create? ...
Read MoreWhat are you building?
Morning Motivation Instead of getting slowed down or stopped by feeling overwhelmed with how much there is to do to build what you want to build, keep your eye on the prize. Stay focused on what you are building. Stay focused on why you are building it. Stay the course. There’s power in consistent, focused, long-term action toward a specific goal—what you are building. Whether you’re building health, a business, a community, a school, or an education, work back from the big picture to figure out the steps you need to take. Where do you start? Create a course of action—a blueprint, a map, a plan—by figuring out the materials you’ll need for the...
Read MoreAre you drifting?
Morning Motivation Life moves fast. The world spins at breakneck speed. It’s easy to get caught in the current and drift with the masses. Can you stop for a moment? Can you get your bearings? Can you clear your mind? Can you shift your energy? Think about where you really want to go. Get focused. Choose a direction. Take the time to concentrate and consciously create the direction you want to take your life in. Stop drifting. Start directing your life where you want it to go. What are you going to create? ...
Read MoreWho holds the keys?
Morning Motivation Who holds the keys—the key to breaking the block, the key to shifting thoughts, the key to adjusting attitude, the key to happiness, the key to the heart, the key to peace, the key to creativity, the key to creating the life you want? You do! You hold all of the keys. It’s easy to forget that. The urge, even instinct, to give away our power—to others, to society, to our own fears, doubt and anxiety—is strong. You have to fight it. You have to hold on to your own personal power. Utilizing help or inspiration or motivation or ideas from others to help you isn’t giving away your power, that’s you taking control and taking action and using...
Read MoreAre you choosing to be brave?
Morning Motivation Every day you wake up you have a choice—to be brave or to be afraid. Are you choosing to be brave—to live, to love, to dream, to create, to fail, to get back up, to keep going? Or, are you letting fear win? Fear wins when you don’t believe in yourself. Fear wins when you don’t give your dreams a shot. Fear wins when you don’t take that chance on love. Fear wins when you decide to shelve that unconventional idea. Fear wins when you think you’re too old, too young, too uneducated, too ugly, too weird, or too late to make an effort toward creating something from what you have. Don’t let fear win! Make the choice to be brave every minute...
Read MoreWhat is the fruit of your labor?
Morning Motivation If you feel you’re working hard but aren’t seeing the results you want then there’s a problem! Action always equals a reaction, a result. Are you working hard for your dreams or someone else’s? Are you being honest with yourself about what and how much you’re really doing? Is the action you’re taking focused on a specific goal? Do you know where you want to go? Do you have a plan how to get there? Do you need to revise your plan? Do you know what “fruit” you want to produce? If you want to create health, what are you eating? Are you exercising? If you want to create a book, are you writing on it every day? Are you taking...
Read MoreAre you dreaming or are you fantasizing?
Morning Motivation A dream is different than a fantasy. A dream is attainable—I want to be a teacher. A fantasy is imaginary—I want to be a unicorn. Dreams can come in all sizes, shapes, forms and colors—big, small, life size, tiny. What are your dreams? You can have more than one! They all matter and you can create them all—over time—some each day, some in the years to come. Dreams that can be created daily: health, laughter, a creative practice. Dreams that need daily action over longer periods of time for them to manifest: an education, a novel, a business. Don’t get trapped in a fantasy, focus on your very real dreams. Start creating them right...
Read MoreAre you perched?
Morning Motivation Everything is in place. Everything is available. Everything is in order. You’re perched and ready to go. Why aren’t you going then?! Nothing is in place. Nothing is available. Nothing is in order. You’re perched and scared to go. Why aren’t you going then?! It will never feel perfect. It will always feel risky. So regardless of how or where or why you are perched, you must jump off and go for it! If you never leave your perch you’ll never find out where you can fly. Just jump. Take flight. Create from it. What are you going to create? ...
Read MoreAre you reinventing?
Morning Motivation Are you stuck? Does it all look the same? Is your vision blurring? STOP whatever you’re doing and reinvent it all! Close your eyes. Visualize the situation, the problem, the creation in another color, as if it wasn’t your problem, if the situation were under another set of circumstances. Try something else. Turn it upside down. Take a piece away from it. Walk away for five minutes. Do whatever it takes to think, see, feel, act, and respond differently and reinvent how you’re thinking and reinvent what you have to create from! Free up your mind to put odd things together to make it look fresh, new, weird. Talk it out in another...
