There Is Still One Place You Can Go In The Midst Of Your Storm

I have not met this man but I know the family he married into just a short while ago.  After hearing his testimony I realized that there are times when we think we are the only ones going through hardships and trials.  However, many I know and many I continue to meet share the difficulties that they not only had as children but experience as adults. And listening to Coffey's story reminded me that through good times as well as the not so good. there is still a peace and a comfort when you return back to the loving arms of God.

When you rest in the assurance that nothing can happen to you that a mighty yet merciful God will get you through, your faith is enough to move the mountain that stand in front of you.  As Coffey says, we may not be perfect or do perfect things but when you are a believer you serve a Perfect God.   

Coffey is a singer/songwriter and married to the daughter of one of my best friends and you can get a free copy of one of his tunes at iCoffey.com . Everyday we all need a little inspiration!

Recognize Opportunity Where There Seems To Be Limitation

How many times have you actually said to yourself...."How in the world am I going to do this?" This is a common question to all of us from time to time. Where have you gotten stuck in your thinking and is your being stuck let opportunity pass you by. Some people have fear about not knowing enough, being enough, didn't know where to begin, weren't quite ready, and the list goes on. The only way to reach the goal you set for yourself is to begin it right now.Take the first step toward it no matter if you know the final answers or not. Action will create momentum and momentum will create an ability to power through any adversity you may perceive along your way. Just remember one thing there's always a way for you to have all that you desire. The answers are right inside you so stop telling yourself you can't and start telling yourself that you can! Everywhere you are there is a power and presence that is in line with the real magnificence of who you are. This power is unlimited in its wisdom, imagination, creativity, and desire to bring out in you the best you that you can be. No matter what may appear on the surface, you have all the tools you need to build the life that you have been dreaming about. Remember one thing, you wouldn't be able to dream something if you didn't already have that dream inside of you. It is so easy to give up and throw in the towel when you come up against a challenge you percieve is bigger than you believe you can overcome. That's the exact time that you must ramp up your desire for success and find the ways you need to turn those challenges into opportunities. You can do it. No matter what you my think about hard situations you always have the choice to think of the solutions to get you through them. There's always a way to make your day the very best it can be when you start to say yes to all the excellence that you are and step into the spirit that brought you here. Express all the greatness you are and start today.

Emerald Echo May Have Been A Dream Once But Will Soon Be A Reality

When I first met this person we were both at a personal development event and I could feel a comforting feeling when I was in her presence and saw her smile.  I knew nothing about her so I was quite surprised when I learned the she was a professor, psychotherapist, author and above all a visionary.  This woman carried in her heart the dream of someday there would be a place, Emerald Echo where people from all over the world and all walks of life would experience that they could experience "healing from the illusion of separateness and know that they are not alone"

Emerald Echo would also be a place to remember who you really are and rediscover your purpose for being here… and a home where nature and mankind collaborate in a forever friendship. T Bowman

Tamara has since just released her new children's book and it is a must for every child so they can learn their purpose and assist them in moving in a direction that will lead to success and happiness.  There is hope for our children to become well rounded and complete individuals in a world that is seemingly filled with crisis and tragedy.

Sometimes You Have To Clean Up Your Own House First

This weekend I had the opportunity of not only meeting but working hand in hand with an amazing woman who has an enonormous heart and is a winner in her own right.  She is a wife, a mother, a speaker, and an author.  Her name is Loren Slocum and I met her at the Author 101 Seminar held in Las Vegas, Nevada as she shared with the attendees her story and the principles she trains on.

She expresses that many of us make it so hard for us to win by focusing on the not so great things that are in our lives instead of that which is great.  Loren does not believe that a person needs a whole life make over, all a person needs is "just a little tweeking here and there". This is the name of her newest book "Life Tuneups".  She remind people that the most important thing a person can do is to take care of themselves first.  You cannot give what you do not have.

Another thing that is covered in her book is how important it is to create a compelling vision for yourself.  This is not new andis taught by may leaders in the personal development industry.  She tells you to ask yourself, "Who do I have to become to be the person who is healthy and alive".  Use your vision board to constantly remind yourself of what is working great in your life. And always stay true to who you are. 

Her story is outstanding and she believes that sometimes you just have to redicover who you are and what you really stand for.  It was a gentle reminder that I too need to stay tuned and tuned up to give back to the world all that I have to offer.

You Create More Success By Making Others Feel Great About Themselves

The economy continues to spiral downward and with it goes the esteem of the general public.  Many are loosing their jobs and their homes and having to start over in a world full of uncertainty.  So the question presnted to me was how do you become or remain successful in a falling and broken economy?  The answer is actually very simple.

Everyone wants to feel good about themselves.  Especially when the rest of the world around them is falling apart.  Success is created when you go out of your way to assist or encourage someone else.  Even if it is not immediate, those that you reach out to will not forget you and will trust you in the future with their purchases.  When it stops being just about the money, the Universe will bend over backwards to bring back to you in like fashion all that you give.  Call it the Law of Attraction or whatever you choose, the fact of the matter is that it is true.  Abundance comes to those whose give the same, no matter what it is.  It may be time, it may be training and it may just be money as well...but it is something. 

Making people feel great about themselves creates a fundation for the future whether it is yours or that of another.  Also as a two fold blessing, you feel great about yourself and will project that to those around you.  And again...like attracts like whether you like it or acknowledge it or not.  That confidence shows up in your success as well.  Those who might not normally purchase from you will either do so or refer others who have a need and a desire for what you are promoting in your business. 

Think about it.....When was that last time you met someone and were so comfortable with them and felt a sense of trust then purchased from them or someone they recommended.  The achievemnet level rises when a person feels not only good but great about themselves.  If you do not feel that way about yourself..it looks like there may be some work to do on your part.  Once you establish that presence you will see the difference in the world around you.  So if you want to be more success in this faultering economy get in the business of making people feel great about themselves and the rest of your success is a matter of time.  

Even In These Turbulent Times, Never Give Up On Your Dreams

It has become apparent that many people have thrown in the towel and given up on what was once their dreams.  I don't believe they realize that your dreams are what should and will spur you on in tough times even more that the prosperous times. 

A great practice to help you get back on track is to take time every morning  to visualize those things that you want in your life and hold those thoughts for at least sixty seconds.  But another more important step is to daydream periodically throughout the day about those same things.  When your daytime dreams are more concious and you ae aware of what you want, you can then dream them into reality. 

One more practice you can implement is to visualize those very same dreams each night befiore you go to sleep.  By doing this, it sets your subconcious mind in action to work with the energy of the universe to find ways to bring those dreams to life.  Make a list of the smaller wants and one by one as you acquire them mark them off your list and watch how quickly these things come into your life.  That makes it easier to bring to life the larger dreams one by one also. 

Especially now it is imperative to hang onto what drives you to success.  What you focus on expands and that includes problems. This is why it is so important to focus on your successes. Write them down! The 365 Days Of Successes Journal a great motivation and inspirational journal to help keep you on track and moving forward toward your goals and dreams.Visualize your future and take advantage of what is...one man's trash is another man's gold.  This is a great time to get better as what you do and become flexible. 

I Am Loved Even Through The Economic Tests And Trials

Sometimes it is hard to remember that no matter where we are or what we do ....we are loved.  I saw this video and it not only reminded me but inspired me to keep going.  This economy has made many a heart heavy with the burdens of financial dispair.  The hope of a good life and an abundant lifestyle took a different turn in the past year.  But if we can remind ourselves that trials grow us up and mature us.  That growing will also grow our businesses and lifestyle to a higher level.  Maturing is a proccess and it is not always comfortable.  And the testing develops perserverence.  But in the midst of it all I rest on the faith

that I Am Loved.

A Life Of Authenticity Will Bring A Life Of Meaningful Success

People talk about living happy, successful, and even meaningful lives but none speak of living an authentic life.  What exactly is an authentic life?  To live an authentic life you live by your truths in your day to day agendas.  It is not enough to believe your truth you must live it as well.

To be authentic means to know yourself and trust yourself.  It is by action and thought that you become authentic.  Once you have heard from within beyond the normal daily inner chatter, you can put into life that knowing and believing.  To not be authentic would mean that you would have belief but not act upon it.  Sometines it may be inconvenient to act on your beliefs but it will never be convenient to be authentic.

A large number of people are not true to themselves. They do not look beyond the superficial to find purpose.  If your truth changes then your actions must change as well.  It is the change that happens in you that changes the world around you.  To be truely happy youmust live a life of authenticity.  Just success will not bring you this because happines and truth come from within. 

Success Starts At Any Age From The Theater To The Stage Of Life

I have the pleasure of featuring this young lady in my Inspiration Newsletter which comes out every other month.  Bu, I could not pass up the opportunity to tell you a little about her before the publication is released next week.  I met this young lady before her birth (sorta) and have been truely amazed at how this flower has blossomed.

Her name is Taylor Short and she is 11 years old and has many accomplishments to her credit on stage.  She also is an excellent student along with being very active in sports.  Taylor thinks that she is just an ordinary kid.  But she is far from that!  Little does she know that she will be and is already an inspiration to kids all around her.  And as she grows that inspiration and the amount of lives that it will touch will grow as well.  But Taylor's success come from something and somewhere that many kids do not have the opportunity to experience.

Taylor short is the only daughter of Bo and Sandy Short.  They are extraordinary entrepreneurs and have created an environment of encouragement and support for Taylor that gives her a strong foundation to build upon.  She has been surrounded by successful examples since birth and implements what it takes to go for it.

                                                   

When we give out children not only opportunities but the stability of encouragement, they grow to be amazing individuals.  This support for what are their passions help all involved to reach out beyond their limits and touch lives and hearts that in other circumstances would not feel that incredible feeling of accomplishement and success.  Not to mention the love that comes from sharing those celebrations with others.  To see the full story of Taylor Short you simply need to subscribe to this Inspirational Newsletter and the next 20 subscriptions will recieve a copy of my 365 Days of Successes Journal at not cost to you.  We also appreciate your comments so feel free to leave yours.
