Better habits build a better life and if you want the better life you will have to be consistent in better choices. It shouldn’t be complicated, and yet I seem to find masterful ways of making it complicated, convoluted, and just plain crazy. I know to do better, but I choose what’s behind the other…
You have to take action if you want to make change. Action doesn’t happen to you. Action doesn’t find you. Your actions are driven by you – always. Now, you can allow the actions you choose to be dictated by others or you can allow the actions you take to be determined by you. No…
You can be more powerful in pursuit of your purpose and bolding walking down your path. It’s your choice. Take the actions to move beyond feeling more powerful into being more powerful. I’ve said it before – probably today – that the only person that holds you back or pushes you forward looks back at…
The force of inertia holds you where you are and keeps you from moving to where you want to be. Inertia keeps you comfortable in your uncomfortable place so you don’t take a step into your possibilities. Sometimes the only way to break the force of inertia is to move. My day started behind. It…

Feelings can distract you from something better. Feelings will hinder focus. I had been talking to my husband for ten minutes without…
Getting through to your success starts with stopping. Stop letting distractions hinder your focus. Distractions are going to show up. What you do with them today will determine your tomorrow. My computer and my printer stopped talking to each other. They have been like this in the past. They would go hours, sometimes days, without…
Morning has returned. Morning has broken . . . finally, when it’s supposed to. Every Spring the government steals our morning, tacks it on to the end of the day, and then tries to convince us that we have more daylight – thus the aptly named delusion of Daylight Saving Time. It is over for…
When you want to quit take one more step. The momentum from the one step can propel you into the next step and before you know it you’re easin’ on down the road. Today may only be day two of the November challenges, but yesterday took more out of me than I realized. It didn’t…
