Are you Living Your Life With a Clear Purpose?

Washington Irving said; "Great minds have purposes; others have wishes."


Each of us have tremendous potential residing within us. Some find the potential and nurture it, others find it but let it go, others never find it and still others never even look for it.


But regardless of who we are, what our circumstances are or the life we have lived, the potential is there for us all. I believe the underlying difference in the manifestation of huge successes and the lack of success, is that some people attach purpose to their potential and create amazing results while others live life haphazardly, never finding a purpose for their intentions.


When you live life with a purpose, you are adding rocket fuel to every goal, every intention and and every desire you can imagine. Your life becomes focused and on track. Your thoughts, your actions, beliefs, decisions all reflect the purpose you have attached to your life.

But some people never establish their purpose. They can not "find" anything to get them hugely excited and something to give them the motivation to succeed.

Too often, I am reminded how hard it is for some people to find their purpose. They believe it should be something grand and world serving. But a true purpose is something designed to simply leave the world in a better place than it would have been without you.

For example, I will share my true purpose with you

"To demonstrate to everyone I encounter the Best Possible Version of Me". Now that may seem very convoluted and vague, but I feel it is very powerful. There was a time when I wanted to save the world and help thousands of people to change their lives. This is still a very important goal of mine. But by demonstrating the Best Possible Version of Me to the World, to everyone I encounter, I am being a leader who can make a difference.

It puts ME in a position to lead by example. How can I possibly help people if I can not demonstrate the possibilities in and through my own example?

Purpose simply puts your train of life on a solid track. It gives you something to work toward, something you will accomplish through who you are and who you are being. It is not necessary to have a grand and elaborate purpose, especially if you can not see yourself actually in the vision of the purpose itself.

So seek a purpose for yourself that YOU can grow with. Something in life to drive you and motivate you, something you can very excited about. Once you can bring purpose into your everyday life, your goals, your actions and decisions, your life will suddenly change.

The rocket fuel of purpose can take you anywhere you choose to go in life.

Are Your Thoughts Holding You Back?

It is a known belief in the Personal Development arena the words we speak can affect our results exponentially. With this in mind, we knowingly make a concerted effort to speak words of success and abundance in order to attract these things into our lives.


But, here is another consideration for you and one which has the potential to dramatically effect your results immediately. We all have those little instantaneous thoughts which can make us feel less than successful or empowered. Sometimes, those little thoughts can actually create destructive results for us, simply from the words of destruction we conjure up in our minds, or maybe the lack of commitment to ourselves and our goals.

Those little instantaneous thoughts should be considered as words of destruction. This is an overwhelming concept, so please stay with me on this. I promise you will find it extremely powerful.


Thoughts and words all come from emotion, but there are times when emotion controls not only our words but our thoughts and bring about some very negative results for us. When you are confronted with anything in your life you do not agree with, something resulting in a feeling of frustration or anger, or anything which might make you feel less than the person you choose to be, you are in danger of bringing negative results into your life. Those little fleeting thoughts of doubt, worry, concern or aggravation are controlled by negative emotion. And, negative emotion is more damaging to you than any words you knowingly speak.

Stop and think about it for a moment. Have you ever played out a scenario of how you are going to handle a situation in your mind? Have you ever imagined "getting even" with someone who has hurt you, or have you ever daydreamed of revenge? These things do not just go away. They take up residency in your mind. In contrast, the words you speak are often said only once or twice, while the revengeful, negative and powerful thoughts we attach to scenarios hang on for an extended time.

Thoughts are emotions and emotions are what determine your energy and your vibration. If your thoughts are consumed with negative energy, then what you are "putting out" to the world is negative energy and therefore your results will be negative.

Any level of negative emotion will only hurt you and your results. This emotion will frequently consume us for days and holding on to it will alter your outcome and your results dramatically. In order to manifest positive results into your life, you must eliminate the negative emotion.

You must let go of and eliminate any negative energy you are giving out to the world. Just let it go. When negative emotions start to show their ugly heads, just eliminate them immediately with positive emotion. Yes, it can be done and when practiced becomes quite easy. Make a point to attract only the things you want into your life. Make all of your thoughts intentional. When your thoughts are controlled, then the words are controlled and the end result is the accomplishment of some major positive results in your life.

Step Forward In Faith to Claim Yourself

So much of our society lives in a non-empowering state of mind. We accept failure as the normal, in fact, expect failure in most of what we do. We have learned from the multitudes how only a select few are lucky enough to "Have It All".

There was a time when I was one of the multitudes. I believed my success depended on the actions of others and the luck of the draw. But early in my adult life I found this to be a myth. Very early in my career in the Airline Industry, I found I could get the promotions and the special projects simply by stepping up to the plate, taking action and voicing my own self belief. This belief and change in my behaviors allowed me to travel the world and make my mark in the industry.

Great successes in life never just happen. They are always a result of action. But too often, fear and doubt keep us from taking massive action for our own successes. It takes tremendous intestinal fortitude to step out of your box and claim your life. Fear (false evidence appearing real) can totally control your life only if you choose to let it.

Fear is the exact opposite of faith but yet they are the same thing. Both are believing in something you can not see. Personally, I choose faith in making my choices and it has proven to be an exceptional direction in my life. Faith is hope, expectation, empowerment and courage.

You must choose faith over fear if you choose to create the life of your dreams. People who criticize or frown on postitive action are not the people you want in your life anyway. You are the people you associate with, so choose not to associate with anyone who does not support your dreams and your actions.

If you want something powerful in your life, you must surround yourself with the people who are getting the same results. Wouldn't it be much better to look forward knowing, expecting life to give you exactly what you want, instead of fearing failure?

We all deserve to have exactly what our hearts desire most. The only way to have those things is to not worry about what other people think, be responsible for yourself and take action to make fabulous things happen in your life.

On this special day, Christmas Day 2009, I am very moved to give my readers something empowering. Something of myself to hopefully give you a push to make your life not just ordinary, but extraordinary.

The best thing I can give you is hope. Life can be fun, facinating, spontaneous, joyful and fulfilling but YOU have to want it and YOU have to be willing to have it. It always amazes me when someone tells me exactly what they want but are not willing to have it. When you focus on your goals, give them attention, faith and expectation, coupling that with a "no fear" attitude, ANYTHING is possible.

Step out of your world, your box of less than extraordinary and get what you want most in life. We all deserve to live extraordinarily. It can be yours, but YOU must not fear, you MUST believe and you MUST take action.

Are You Communicating in Business and Relationships?

If you were to ask me about the number one component missing in our society today both in business and in relationships, I would have say it is "communication". Communication is quickly becoming a lost art, obsolete and rarely something anyone is willing or capable of engaging in.

In business, I find those who understand the art of communication are the high performers, the people with the most sales or with the highest performing team. The great communicators possesss a position in their industry, a place of honor and recognition admired by others.

And what about relationships, from the intimacy of a couple to the raising of children and the ability to talk to anyone in any situation, communication would change this world and our experiences in relationships.

With our world of text messages, email and instant messages, we have lost what counts most. We are living in a world of Cliche's. Conversation has become more of "What's Up", "How you doing?" and my favorite.... "Whatever!". Our children do not know how to communicate to each other or to us and our Relationships suffer from the lack of real communication.

And here is a Newsflash for you... Talking is Not Communicating. Small talk is an art as well, but where some people use it none at all, others abuse it. Some people just jump right to the big issues, opinions and miss an opportunity to enjoy the intimacy of communication.

Intimacy is important in all relationships. Learning more about the people you encounter and sharing your deepest feelings and thoughts with the person you love most in your life. It is all intimacy and true intimacy can only spring from good communication.

Are you engaging the people you meet? Are you looking them in the eye when they speak to you, are you taking the opportunity to know who they are and what they think and feel? Are you shaking their hands with strength and confidence?

And ladies, let me tell you something very important, a handshake is NOT A "MAN THING". A hand shake should be an opportunity to share a bit of yourself with the person you meet. It is an opportunity for them to become curious about you, who you are and what you have to share with them. Communication begins with simple encounters such as handshakes. Do it with power and conviction.

Personally, when I meet someone, I extend my hand with authority and confidence. If they return (men or women), with a weak, partial hand or a namby pamby wrist shake, I have to work very hard to find substance in them. They have missed an opportunity to make a good first impression with me. Communication begins with the first moment of contact.

I challenge you to take a look at your skills in the area of communication. Evaluate for yourself why you may not be communicating with the people in your life. Lack of confidence, fear of saying the wrong thing or standing out in a crowd could be the culprit. Put yourself out there, you just might find it really does not hurt at all but on the other hand, will greatly improve your business, your personal life and your own self confidence.

Once you make an improvement in your communication skills, your life will change dramatically! You will be leaving the people in your life with a small piece of youself every day.

Oh! But to Just Live My Life Myself...

Funny how sometimes, people we know, people we love, even people we admire, are much too involved in how we are living our lives. I constantly battle with the intrinsic nature of the people who know best how I should live my life without even a whisper from me as to how they should live theirs.

Life is for living, and it is the responsibility of every individual to determine the lifestyle which is best suited to their own nature. But there will always be the forever meddler who wants to tell us what is best.

Don't misunderstand me here, I truly appreciate the people who care for me and are very concerned that I might actually leap out of an airplane without a parachute or something really stupid! Believe me, I know what would happen without a parachute, and assure you, I will never jump without one! Just because my choices do not necessarily mirror their own, then does that make mine wrong, NO...

Let's face it. We are all adults, and as adults, we make decisions, take actions and experience the results of our actions. This is how life works. Of course there will always be those who fail to make decisions, take action and subsequently never experience the bountiful, abundant and exhilerating life available to us all. But that is their choice, definitely not mine!

I choose to live my life as an adult, as guided by a higher power and with the abilities given me, make the decisions myself for my own actions. Therefore, I assume responsibility for my actions and my results. Because I am willing to live my life at this level, I will never whine and complain about what comes my way.

Yes, things do happen that we wish did not, such as the death of my wonderful husband, but I have chosen to honor my promise to him and live my life to the best of my desire and my ability. I celebrate that I am able to do this.

Why am I ranting, you ask? Just venting... I want my readers and my followers to know that I do assume responsibility for myself. And regardless of the advise given, I accept with gratitude the advice, but the final actions I take in every situation will be those I deem the right fit for me! And maybe, just maybe I will serve someone as an example or even bring a new realm of possibilities to the awareness of someone who just happens to be in the right place at the right time.

Just passing along my thoughts.

Recreating Yourself to Be "YOU"

So often, we become a person we do not recognize. Regardless of the reasons, we can easily slip into a version of ourself that is anything but familiar.

As you move from one era of your life to the next, it is very important to determine who you are in the new era. Take time to identify your passions, your true beliefs (not what others want you to believe), how you want others to see you, your inner thoughts , your source of energy and your personal goals. These are a reflection of who you are.

From my personal experience, having been in a wonderful marriage and then suddenly losing my husband, I was thrown into the unknown. Even though my husband is still a vital part of my life, I am no longer that person and no longer part of a couple. The person I was in marriage is not the same person I am today. Not that either person is better than the other, just different in many ways.

Right before my husband died, he passed on very powerful wisdom. He said "spread your wings and be the person you put on hold while being my wife"? At first, I thought I had not put anything on hold, his wife, is what I wanted to be. But in time, I have realized there were many passions that were no longer part of my life during marriage because I replaced them with "us" passions.

Now I am getting back to who I am as an individual. I am again strong, athletic, a dancer, a daredevil who loves to try new things and new adventures. I have even recently tried skydiving. Funny how that one popped in. My husband always laughed that desire right off, one of the few things he would never support me in. But it is something I have always wanted to do, so why not now?

The point is... It is not necessary to always be the same person. It is okay to decide who you are and then create that person from within. It brings you new hope, new energy and new drive. It puts a freshness into every day and provides an opportunity for you to create the person you truly are inside and it gives you a strong foundation for letting go of the past.

Regardless of the situation you are in, whatever loss or whatever struggle. Find your true self. Honor yourself with integrity and zeal for life. You deserve to be the person you truly are and live your life with purpose and absolute intention.

Teetering on the Tightrope of Excellence

Funny how the greatest accomplishments and insight sometimes come from very small, very obscure happenings around us. Personal burdens can frequently plague us, pull us down or hold us back. However, they can be quickly eliminated when we are open to allow them to and open to receiving the inspiration for change.

Moving beyond our personal best, to a higher level, requires a deeper and greater inspiration than ever before experienced. Those inspirations can be very small things, or sometimes, from the people around us who, by their own example, live their lives, unknowingly at a level of excellence few people ever truly experience.

Sadly, the core of human nature is to become a victim of the life we are handed. It would be very easy for me to drift into victimhood. After all, I did lose my husband and the world around me would prefer that I function as the "poor widow", which I am totally unwilling to accept. I could never honor the excellence my late husband portrayed by allowing his death to push me into mediocrity rather than moving me forward toward personal excellence.

I see the world we live in as a tightrope. Often when we are walking on this tightrope, we literally are teetering between mediocrity and excellence with no medium ground between. Amazingly, the excellence frequently just takes a little inspiration, a little action and of course a little determination.

The inspiration to move to the right side of this tightrope is probably in front of you. Maybe through a book you've been planning to read, a person you know, or even a new casual acquaintance, inspiring you through their own zeal and energy for life.

Moving to the right side of the tightrope takes very little action. It does require belief, faith and commitment. But, the first thing it takes is the decision.

I truly believe if I can pull myself to the right side of the line, anyone can. Anyone can live in excellence if they are just willing to take a step in that direction and make a decision to give up the life of mediocrity.

This is a very fine line and a small step reaps huge results in our lives.

Isn't it time to move to the right side of the tightrope and live the life you truly deserve?

Millionaire Status in Much Less Than 30 Years!

I was absolutely shocked at this article in CNN Money, published a while back, explaining how to become a millionaire. The article talks about how to put yourself in a position to be a millionaire within 30 years! http://money.cnn.com/popups/2006/moneymag/ontrack_millionaire/index.html

This is the mentality of our Corporate Leaders and Colleges today. Our young people are not being taught how to achieve success while they are still young. It is a fact the majority of Self Made Millionaires in North America, became Millionaires in less than 5 years.

The truth is, our society is misleading people into believing that financial success can only come to an elite few, or those who are willing to save forever, while the corporate gurus are making millions themselves. Maybe we should look at the fact that corporate leaders do not want you to succeed, they want you to remain an employee, therefore having an employee or need mentality. And as for professors, how many millionaire professors do you know? They do not teach success strategies or the economics of making money, and they certainly are not financial success stories themselves as a rule. I do believe that education is extremely important today, I do not however believe higher education is an absolute necessity to succeed financially. The best way to learn how to make money is to learn from those making money.

This is exactly why Network Marketing creates so many millionaires. Successful people are teaching others how to have the same level of success. It's all about learning to work smart, not necessarily hard. It is very important to live your life while you are making your million.

The old saying "you are the company you keep" is so true. To make a million dollars, start associating with people who have made a million dollars. Successful people are so, because they are willing to share and assist others in the same or greater level of success.

If you are shooting for a higher level of success, first of all, take a look at who you are spending your life with. Are they providing you the empowerment to get to where you wish to be? Be sure to bring powerful people and mentors into your closest circle of acquaintances.

Another important step is to fill your mind with empowering information. Read biographies and the works of powerful and successful people. Turn the TV off and be very focused on what you put into your mind.

These simple actions will get you closer to becoming a millionaire faster than any other action. Sure, you should save and invest, but never count on saving a million dollars, decide to make a million first.

Today's Word - Take Action

"It is not enough to be busy; so are the ants. The question is: what are we busy about?"

Henry David Thoreau

When envisioning and working toward a specific goal, corresponding action is required. Many times it is easier to appear busy than to actually take strong action.

I speak to many people who wonder why they never meet major goals. Although there are many underlying reasons, often it is as simple as lack of action. For example, if someones goal is to greatly improve their financial situation, but are not willing to do anything other than they currently do, then that goal is simply a pipe dream.

In order to change the current situation, you must do something totally different than you currently do. Looking at thousands of business opportunities will not get you to where you want to be. There is a good chance you could get closer to your goal by getting started in a business and taking the necessary action to make it a successful endeavor.

Take a look at what you want to accomplish, be willing to step out of your comfort zone and take corresponding action.

I will gladly assist you in determining what the corresponding action might be.

Vision and Courage to Live Your Dreams

"It takes someone with a vision of the possibilities to attain new levels of experience. Someone with the courage to live his dreams."
- Les Brown

Truly a remarkable and insightful quote. Les Brown has in two simple sentences "nailed" the primary reason most people do not reach their goals in Home Based Businesses.

In order to have any level of success at anything, one must first of all KNOW where they are going. You must have a clear and definite VISION of what their success will look like. This Knowing creates an energy to flow into and drive you to your goals.

Secondly is the courage to live dreams. Having something you do not currently have, regardless of what it is... money freedom, time freedom, sports, relationships or anything else that drives us, requires immense courage.

What you want is yours, but you must have the courage to step out of your box and claim it.

"To have something you have never had, you must do something you have never done". Choose to have vision and courage in every area of your life.

Are You the Master Of Your Destiny?

Opportunities frequently come our way that are so out of the ordinary, our gut reaction is to just run in the other direction. As a child, I grew up in a very simple and meager situation. Our parents did not encourage us to step up and try new things. Everything was compared to what the family had “always done” in the past.

I was a rogue. Always bucking the system and never falling in line with my older brothers and sisters. In our home, we were not encouraged to complete our education, after all, no one else in the family did , and they were just fine!

But I had huge dreams and visions for my life, so at the tender age of 16, I decided to step out on my own. Yes, I left home and started taking care of myself. I put myself through school and learned to make my way in life, and what an adventure it has been.

Later, I went to work for an airline and had incredible opportunities to work overseas in various countries. I traveled all over the world, normally alone and loved it. It really never occurred to me at the time to be afraid of doing this. What an opportunity I had and I was very grateful for it.

So what is the point? You can not make decisions in life based on fear. Don’t let fear hold you back. Great things are never accomplished through fear. Yes, I was sometimes afraid (boy, the stories I can tell) but what I gained from that opportunity has led me to take on some major tasks in my life and also helped me to become the powerful business person I am today.

We are all in total control of our own destiny and the level of success we enjoy. Of course there are at times some factors we have no control over, but we can not worry about those factors. Instead, concentrate on the things you can control. You CAN control your own thinking and your actions. The power is not in the “situation” but instead in how you handle the situation.

Fear is the number one factor stopping people from getting what they want in life. Always be open to new ideas and opportunities. To have anything worth having, you must take a chance.

Many people talk about being successful, but few truly are. Be a “doer.” Make a decision to have what you want and fearlessly walk forward toward your goal. Live your life open and ready to receive. Your destiny is entirely in your hands.

Serious entrepreneurs are invited to request information on how to achieve financial goals. Please understand that I work only with those who are serious about committing themselves to their goals. If your goal is big enough to get you excited, then contact me.

Success in business and in life is up to you. Take a chance, make it happen. You and your family deserve it!
