All Things of Importance Begin Within You

As a life coach, I am excited to meet people where they are mentally and emotionally. It’s a pleasure for me to tag along as people explore what they want, who they want to be, and how they want to navigate in this world. A common theme I hear in various forms is ‘people disappoint me’. Which leads the discussion toward their eventual understanding that if you are not sharing your loving self, you are sending a contrived representative hoping to get better results than you received in the past and generally with little- to -no internal satisfaction.

So, if all things of importance begin within you, as is presumed in title and a series of questions to come…I ask you this: “If you don’t experience your lovable qualities, how would you know if someone else was appreciating them?” I’m interested in what you think and feel. Please share your comments.

This End is Your Beginning!

It’s been an inspirational year. We started in January 2015, and I declared this would be a year long commitment. My desire was and continues to be that you will grab possibility and make it your reality! I’ll connect with you again. Embrace your new beginning! Be the light…

HOMEWORK:

What do you want your new beginning to feel like?

Joy In The Present Moment!

This is a suggested season of loving and giving. However, for some people it’s a time of stress and loneliness in the midst of crowds.

As this year approaches it’s end, my wish for you all is that you find joy in the present moments of your day. Experience joy in another’s smile. Give joy by acknowledging someone with a kind word. Be the love in the world you wish to feel! You are a present!

 

Thanksgiving!

Today, people in the United States celebrate Thanksgiving. People around the world have learned that giving thanks throughout the everyday increases an abundant flow that is greater than money. It encourages richer relationships, increased sharing, belonging, living fully, peace of mind, wisdom and love of life!

HOMEWORK:

What are you thankful for?

List who are you thankful for in your life?

Perfectly Imperfect

Stare at a perfect rose long enough and you will find an imperfection. People are no different; our imperfections gives us our life lessons to learn. Those imperfections are what makes us human, and dare I say interesting? Welcome to the human race, perfectly imperfect people!

HOMEWORK:

What advice would you give someone to help them accept their imperfections?

What advice would you give yourself?

 

We Are Here!

I am grateful we are here in this world! Thankful for the gifts we share. I wish for us the courage needed to find our undiscovered strengths, and endless encouragement to incorporate those strengths in our daily interactions.

HOMEWORK:

Are you grateful you are here?

Inner Beauty!

Your real beauty and wholeness resides inside of you! If you don’t see it, you may have buried your inner specialness. I recommend that you lift up (admit) and discard (forgive) your old mistakes and hurts. Now you are free to think; what if it’s true that you are beautiful on the inside? Get comfortable with the belief; start by repeating to yourself, “I have inner beauty.”

HOMEWORK:

When you recognize your inner beauty, how can you let it shine?

FEAR NO MORE!

The other day, someone I care about did something that hurt my feelings. I felt the full impact of fear. My body was heavy, tight and tired. While sitting still with the fear, my mind opened enough for me to realize fear isn’t our natural state of being. It is natural to feel light and buoyant and curious. That shift in awareness allowed me to feel alive and love again.

HOMEWORK:

The next time you feel heavy, can you shed light on what you fear?

How can you bring yourself back to your natural state of being – – alive and loving?

Radical Compassion!

We want people to be compassionate with us. Here’s the radical part; we have to be compassionate with ourselves and others in order to expect it from others! Compassion is possible when we are authentic, feel worthy, and accept as humans that we are sometimes imperfect.

HOMEWORK:

Are you daring enough to show yourself and others compassion?

Can you forgo protecting your self by blaming

You Are Powerful!

You are powerful! Look at what you have created in your life. It does not matter whether you wanted the life you have or not; if you accept the notion, you created it. By accepting it, you now get to use the power you have to change what you don’t like and give thanks for what you do have that you want!

HOMEWORK:

Are you willing to accept your personal power to evoke change?

Are you using your personal power to create good for yourself and others?
