WE'RE NOT GOING BACK

Did you know that most Americans end up or dead broke by age 65? I was shocked when I heard this a few years back!   “What we think, we become.”  – Buddha So if we don’t think about how we’re spending our money we won’t have any.   How much is in your bank account now? How much of what you made last year did you save?   Do you know your net worth? If not, figured this out now and set your mind up...

If people who achieve great success, great fortunes lost it all today, they are the kind of person that can start over again from scratch and rebuild.   How’s that possible?  Because they have been through what it takes to achieve what they want.   If you set out to go from making 100k a year, to making 500k a year, you will become a different person in the process, even if you fall short!  Even i...

Why are we so afraid of “failing”?  Most of us fail by not trying… which is the worst thing! The biggest failing we do, in my opinion is failing as a parent, yet that’s needed in order for us to continue to evolve. 2nd is at marriage… the two most important things we do in life we fail at the most, but we just keep on going any way, as we should.   And guess what else, most of us fail at this in s...

What are some beliefs you have discovered that were limiting, wrong, unfair, or downright destructive to yourself, a segment of the population, or humanity as a whole? Slave owners had certain beliefs, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) have certain beliefs, those who don’t believe in gender equality, in equal pay for men and women, interracial or same sex marriages… they have a set of beliefs. Here are three...

Busier people are generally happier than people who have too much free unfulfilled time to spare. Although it’s great to have free time, if we’re not using in a nurturing way, it can work against us! I’ve noticed that happily busy people don’t usually say things like… No one visits me I’m lonely If only I had a mate If only I had friends Come over anytime Unbussy/unhappy people tend to focus a lot...

If you have ever looked back at how your life has evolved up until now, you may have asked yourself “what was I thinking?”   I know because I’ve done that!   And that was it for me… I was not thinking!!  Not on purpose, not long term, and not with any particular goal in mind.   If that’s you… now’s the time to pay attention and wake up to the current state of your life... if you feel there should...

Learning to own when I am part of a “problem” I’m having has changed my life!   It’s still a work in progress, but if you really think about it and embrace this idea, it means that the solution is also within our control.  So powerful!   Imagine living a life where you can fix all, or most, of the problems you now have?  Amazing… and it’s true!   How this works: 1.      Think of a problem you’re h...

The question really is, what is too much or not enough, for YOU?   Are you in too much or not enough-ness on purpose, or by default?   Am we too much into consumption of things that are not good for us (or our loved ones) long-term ?   Is what you are DOING/BEING too much or not enough for the long-term OUTCOME you want?   Believe it or not, I used to not have these thoughts! I was uneducated and...

** It doesn’t matter on what side you are on, if you’re taking sides…  I am not taking sides, but I’m standing for peace. ** What matters is to speak up, say something, do something… donate, pray, fly a flag in support, anything… except staying quiet!! ** I can’t say I truly understand the history of these two nations and why things are how they are, but one thing I know is that this conflict belo...

I think it’s possible to be married and still feel like we’re living with our boyfriend of years gone by.  Here are five ways that have helped me do just that, and I’m confident they’ll help you as well!   1. Remember the beginning: Anticipation, butterflies, dreams of the future, how you felt, a dream come true… a dream come true, right?   2. Give up trying to change him: Try changing yourself an...

Did you ever stop to think and appreciate that EVERY man-made thing on this earth now started with a vision? A vision of something in someone’s mind?   My husband loves to watch the show The (foods, toys, etc) that built America… best example of people who had a vision, an idea and never gave up on it… and we now get to enjoy the fruits of their labor.   Our vision is THE key in making our dreams...

First off, what is success? Success is doing something you set out to do on purpose and you are happy doing it.   If you look around you, you’ll most likely notice that successful people become a certain type of person before becoming successful.   They do a specific thing that propels them to be successful… not 100 things all at once, not being particularly good at any one thing.  It would be ok...

Can we just pause for a moment and try to grasp the reality of the world we live in is? How everything around us was created? Our homes, cars, airplanes, GPS, television, smart phones…   EVERYTHING started first in someone’s imagination… WHAT CAN YOU IMAGINE CREATING?   People did NOT KNOW “how” it was going to happen… but they had to rely on the PICTURE in their imagination in order to accomplish...

One of the biggest problems/complaints a lot of people have is “other people’s” behavior, and how that creates problems in our lives…   * What they do * What they don’t do * How they do it * They do too much, * They don’t do enough * They do it wrong *They visit too much * They don’t visit enough * They spend too much * They spend their money on the wrong things ( * They’re too stingy…   I used to...

These are just some of the ways in which coaching has forever changed my life, and I hope there’s something here for you as well.   1. It opened my eyes and mind to the idea that I alone can change anything in my life… Not without help (we are an interdependent society), but not to wait for someone else to do it for me. But by taking initiative and having the desire to change.   2.  That I’m not t...

Back on Ep 63 (not 61, sorry!) – WHEN THE STUDENT IS READY… https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-63-when-the-student-is-ready/id1597656935?i=1000598422326 2nd correction: I have 7 grandchildren, not 8!! I was thinking how many kids my mom had... 8! Ok, moving on! I talked about being really ready to hear what we need to hear, that will move us forward in a desired direction.  Sometimes this is...

Thoughts not to have… because they do not serve us. And in fact, they harm us!!   Thought: I never catch a break! First of all NEVER is too long… and also not true, so why think this or say it? When we say things like this our subconscious takes us at our word.   A better statement or thought could be is “Life has ups and downs, it’s part of being human, things will soon change for the better, I k...

It’s true that sometimes we are annoyed by what people do or say, how they say it, but not only is it normal, it’s also optional.   We can be annoyed, unhappy, even hurt, but for how long is up to us!   And it’s very important to remember that the ONLY reason we’re annoyed is because of what we are thinking about it, what are making it mean!   No other reason!   We also forget that too often we mi...

Wimpy is defined as... weak, cowardly, feeble! Feel you’ve been any of these things in your life, maybe in certain relationships or situations and you feel bad, or maybe even mad about it?   I truly do not believe we as women are any of these things, ever!!  There come times when we must make certain choices, which is very different.   So if this is you, stop feeling bad… you did your best with wh...

What false beliefs do we have about our evolving and self-development? Often we believe that in order to be successful you have to have a proper education and/or all our "ducks in a row". Education is amazing, but if we for some reason missed the boat it doesn’t mean we’re out in the cold forever! We believe that in order to be seen as successful you have to have a degree, experience, “p...

These are just some of the ways in which our own words can hurt/harm those we love, if we don’t choose with care what we say about them.   When we complain or talk negatively to anyone about our family or friends, we are downright hurting them, their image, and their reputation at the very least.   When we say someone is bossy, messy, lazy, a bad mom or dad, a bad husband or wife (in whatever way)...
