Morning Motivation — How do you free your mind?
How do you free your mind? How do you free your mind—meditation, exercise, a hot bath, being in nature, hiking, spending time with friends, reading a book? Take the time to do it. If you’re feeling stuck in reality, trapped by your circumstances, held prisoner by your beliefs choose to free your mind—if only for a brief moment—and allow yourself to dream. Give yourself permission to envision what you have to create from forming, morphing and growing into creative combinations that will expand you, your family, your financial...

Where are you putting your attention? You control what you pay attention to. What you look at, where you go, who you’re with, how you spend your time—these are all within your power to change, tweak and revise. Are you putting your attention on what matters to you? Are you putting your attention on where you want to go? Are you putting your attention on what you want to create? Whether you choose to pay attention to gossip and negative thought or, pay attention to facts and positive ideas, it’s up to you. Put your attention on...
read moreMorning Motivation — Will you go the distance?
Will you go the distance? Whatever you set out to create will you go the distance to actually complete creating it? Even when it seems clear what it will take to create something, we can never know for sure how long or how far we will have to go to see it through to completion. Instead of trying to see into the future stay focused on the here and now—the destination will arrive soon enough. Simply keep creating until you go the distance and reach completion. No matter how far you have to go, keep creating until you get there....

Are you at an end or a beginning? If you are at the end or at the beginning—of a week, of a job, of a relationship, of a career, of a project, of a trip—don’t get lost in the idea of it. The excitement of a beginning can propel you forward or the sadness and loss of an ending can stop you. Regardless of where you are, if you are always creating from wherever you are with whatever you have at any given period in your life it allows you to continue a constant chain of creating. Keep creating no matter where you are. At an...

read moreMorning Motivation — Are you connecting?
Are you connecting? Do you remember the last time you made a true connection—with someone or something or some idea? It had magic in it! Connecting creates power. If you don’t connect to something you will never care about it. If you don’t connect to someone you will never care about him or her. If you don’t connect to your self you’ll never know your self. If you don’t connect to what you’re creating you will never create it. Truly connect to yourself and to everything and everyone around you. No agenda. Not wanting...
read moreMorning Motivation — What gets you in the flow?
What gets you in the flow? What gets you in the flow—that motivated, glorious state of single-minded focus where the world melts away and it’s only you and your creation? Clear your schedule. Carve out the time. Shut off the electronics. Turn off the phones. Send the kids on a play date. Go to the library. Go to the beach. Meditate. Turn on your favorite music. Dance. Do whatever you have to do to prepare yourself for getting into the flow of creating. In order to give yourself a chance to reach flow you have to prepare for...
read moreMorning Motivation — What is enough?
What is enough? How much money will it take? How low does the scale have to go? How many “likes” are enough? Enough with the insatiable cravings! Instead of constantly wanting—more money, to be skinnier, to be liked, to be somewhere else—start creating. Get busy creating from what you already have and you won’t have time to worry about what you don’t have. If you focus on creating, you won’t have time to worry about what anyone else thinks of you either. Free yourself! Decide that whatever you have and wherever you are right now is...
