Morning Motivation—Are you thinking of the unexpected?
Are you thinking of the unexpected? To get the mind thinking creatively try putting completely ridiculous combinations together. Things no one associates with the other. Instead of peanut butter and jelly, what about peanut butter and onions? Instead of liver and onions, what about liver and jelly? Instead of peas and carrots, what about carrots and cotton candy? Instead of palm trees and sand, what about palm trees and snow? Match the square peg and the round hole. Surprise yourself with what you can come up with! See if it helps loosen up your creative wheels and gets them turning. There are no rules. Break through stagnant thinking by shattering what...
Read MoreMorning Motivation — Are you seeing the magic?
Are you seeing the magic? Stop thinking everything is ordinary. Stop thinking everyone is the same. Stop thinking every place is familiar. Choose to see the magic in it all instead! It’s easy to take people in our life for granted. It’s easy to overlook unique details. It’s easy to forget how fortunate we are to have what we have. From this point forward remind yourself that everyone in your life, everything you have, and every place you are is full of magic if only you open up your mind and see it. See the magic. Create from it. What are you going to create? ...
Read MoreMorning Motivation — Are you recreating?
Are you recreating? Instead of discarding whatever is broken, whatever is damaged, whatever has crumbled, rebuild it, reuse it, recycle it, recreate it! Don’t waste anything. Just because it’s old doesn’t mean it doesn’t have value. Just because something is broken doesn’t mean it can’t be fixed. Just because something is damaged doesn’t mean it can’t be repaired. Creating from what you have means you have to get creative with what you have. Be re-creative! Whatever you have—whether it’s sparkly, dull, young, aging, boring, exciting, energetic, lackluster—you can create something from it. Get creative. Recreate what you have into a new creation. What are...
Read MoreMorning Motivation — What’s between you and your dreams?
What’s between you and your dreams? Have you ever felt like there was a film, a screen, a barrier between your dreams and actually creating them? It’s one thing to wish for something, formulate an idea of something, or talk about something. It’s another thing to take that wish, that idea and take those words and combine them with the necessary action to actually create something! It isn’t magic. It’s acting. Act on that wish. Act on that idea. Act on all of that talk. Action takes down the walls. Action removes the chains. Action releases the ties. Action clears the view. Free yourself to create by taking action! Whatever you want to create, take...
Read MoreMorning Motivation — Can you see a glimpse of your dream?
Can you see a glimpse of your dream? Start looking for your dreams everywhere! Even if you can only see a glimpse of a dream that’s enough of a catalyst to get you excited about discovering more and more until you create it. See a piece of your dream and begin creating it! Keep looking and you will see more and more dreams you can create—from smiles, to kindness, to a positive gesture. See your dreams. Create your dreams…from what you have. Open your mind. See a glimpse of your dream. Create what you see. What are you going to create?...
Read MoreMorning Motivation — What are you thinking?
What are you thinking? Do you realize how powerful your thoughts are? They are the first step in creating anything. What are you thinking? Are you thinking about the best possible things or are you focusing on the worst-case scenario? Instead of thinking negatively, thinking about what you lack, thinking about what you don’t have, shift your mind and think positively, think about your strengths and think about what you do have. Use your thoughts as a way to begin creating from what you have. If you think about what you have in a new way it will spark new ideas and new ways to create something from it. Think about what you already have in your life in a...
Read MoreMorning Motivation — Are you reflecting?
Are you reflecting? Have you ever stopped to reflect on what you are currently creating and if it’s what you actually want to be creating? Instead of mindlessly speeding through life unconsciously creating, slow down and begin consciously creating. Take the time to reflect on what you have already created in order to determine what you want to create as you move forward. What have you created in your life, your health, your relationships, your career, your finances? Seriously think about what you have created up to this point. Are you creating what you truly want to create? Or, do you not like what you see reflecting back at you? What is the reflection of...
Read MoreAre you ready to play ball?
Morning Motivation Instead of watching from the sidelines or sitting in the stands get in the game and play ball! It doesn’t matter if you know the rules. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t sure where to go. It doesn’t matter if you have no idea what you’re doing. Just create from wherever you are with whatever you have right now! Make it up as you go along. You are the MVP of your life. Create your own game. Create your own playing field. Create your own rules. If you don’t get in the game you’ll never discover how to play. Create something from what you have. Watch your game expand. Get out of the stands. Get off the sidelines. Get in the game. Create...
Read MoreAre you exercising your liberty?
Morning Motivation If you have liberty, count your blessings! And if you have it, are you exercising it? You have the power to choose, think and act for yourself. Don’t wait for someone else to do your choosing, thinking and acting for you. Use your power. Get going! You may not have millions, you may not be famous, you may not have access to everything it seems you need to accomplish all of your goals but what you have is enough to begin. Take advantage of your liberty and empower yourself by creating from wherever you are with whatever you have right now. Think your own thoughts. Act on your own dreams. Make your own choices. Own your own power. Create...
Read MoreHow do you define success?
Morning Motivation There are a lot of different sources out there that have a very specific definition of success. From how much you should weigh to how much money you should make to with whom you should be associated with to what you should believe—all in order to be deemed “successful.” Instead of trying to fit into someone else’s definition of success define your own version. What truly makes you feel successful? Being kind? Smiling at strangers? Making someone laugh? Being able to walk? Paying your taxes? Being a good member of your community? Sending your kids to great schools? Taking care of your parents? Accomplishing your goals? Create your...
