This man has made a career motivating and inspiring others to live better lives both personally and professionally. You don't have to agree with everything he says, but I have to admit, there is a method to the madness and a reason he is such a HUGE success! I've been able to remove many blocks and excuses as to why I can't do something, thanks to his books and online webinars. His public platform is something I am putting into the universe to achieve as I enter into the world of motivational speaking and coaching. Plus...I'd love to meet him someday...why not throw that out there too!?
Tony Robbins This man has made a career motivating and inspiring others to live better lives both personally and professionally. You don't have to agree with everything he says, but I have to admit, there is a method to the madness and a reason he is such a HUGE success! I've been able to remove many blocks and excuses as to why I can't do something, thanks to his books and online webinars. His public platform is something I am putting into the universe to achieve as I enter into the world of motivational speaking and coaching. Plus...I'd love to meet him someday...why not throw that out there too!? Chris Powell. This trainer and coach, currently seen on Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition, pushes people to their limits and beyond to create POWERFUL physical transformations. I know I'm in awe each week! In addition to that, you can't help but see the mental and emotional transformation that comes from his "tough love" approach to holding each person accountable for their own success. Even though weight loss is not my area of expertise, his approach to coaching others to simply believe in themselves enough to achieve their goals is inspiring. Chris is my inspiration for my 365 day PUSH, and the results are already showing! Phase 1 is under way and I can't wait to see what happens in Phase 4 at the end of this year of personal and professional transformation! Oprah. 'Nuff said. This woman has been a risk taker and a trail blazer for her entire career and has come out on top time and time again with passion and purpose through a LOT of hard work. Her path in life hasn't been perfect and not without its challenges. So, for me...it's motivating to see the amount of success she has achieved after the hardships life had given her in the past. If you want it bad enough...you can get it. You may have to fight for it...but if it's worth it...then what's really holding you back...other than you? You don't have to be a celebrity to be an inspiration. My family is every bit the MENTOR and reason that I am who I am today. Sure, I've become my own man through my own decisions and actions, but my CORE...my VALUES...come from the people who taught me what family, hard work, true love, true friendship and real success means. I share everything I have with the people closest to me and give my time and energy to anyone who may need it. Karma my friends! I'm grateful and humbled for the support AND the many times they have let me "fall" so that I could learn to pick myself up and follow the path I'm on today.

Today is a day to LIVE just like every other day...NO EXCUSES. It's turning intention to ACTION and serving that "life sentence" to its fullest. My new goal is called the 365 day PUSH! This PUSH is 365 days of goals and actions that push myself harder than ever towards that big picture! These goals can be personal, professional...whatever I need them to be. It's an exciting challenge and I can't wait to see how I look and feel at the end of this next year!
Want to PUSH yourself? Start with a day, a week, a month...and see how big an impa Are you serving your life sentence? At first glance, that question may catch you off guard. Perhaps it makes you laugh a little or evokes a sarcastic response like, “I’ve got 3 jobs and work a hundred hours a week” or “I’m married with children, what do you think?” While these responses are similar to the many I’ve gotten, this question is actually meant for you to reflect on YOUR life passion and purpose. Are you living it? Passion and purpose aren’t words that one hears too often these days when it comes to the life of your everyday Joe or Jane. The main reason being is that life happens. We get caught up in the day to day routines. We work whatever job we can get to earn the money that pays the bills. We get comfortable and it becomes easy to forget what we were given this life for. So, as time passes it also becomes harder to remember what those big dreams had once been. “Most people will die with their music still inside them.” This quote is just one of many that can haunt you and at the same time should cause some long running intentions to become powerful, life changing actions. We all have a path to follow and a journey to lead. In the end, the legacy that is left behind is the life sentence you have served. Clare Booth Luce once told John F. Kennedy that “every great man/woman is one sentence.” For example, “Lincoln preserved the union and freed the slaves.” Sure, there is probably a book full of sentences listing out a number of his accolades and attributes, but that single sentence, is how Lincoln is remembered. Once again, this could not have been accomplished without passion and purpose. So, let’s break it down. Passion has been described as “that fire blazing in your belly.” It’s an emotion that is almost uncontrollable. If it is truly a passion, then it should be accompanied by the overwhelming sense that nothing is impossible or unattainable. Having a true passion means that no matter what challenges or obstacles may be encountered, there is certainly a way around it, over it, under it or through it, which will always be found. Nothing can stop you when the desire is heightened with this form of emotional and energetic charge. In life, when the time is taken to acknowledge these passions then the question of life purpose becomes hard to ignore. Once the passion is burning, then purpose begins to take its form. The awareness around the things that make you,“get up and go” creates an idea, supports a vision and the creation of a dream bigger than you can imagine. Passion is the drive and the desire. Purpose is the“why”. A compelling reason “why” is always a catalyst for change. It is why ordinary people are able to achieve extraordinary results. Intention is fueled by passion, which creates action and results in realizing a purpose. It can be as big as your “meaning of life” or it can be an “ah-ha”moment around your reason for being at this particular point in time. When an effort is set to put the wheel into motion the universe will support you. You can’t win the lottery without buying the ticket, right? So, what are you waiting for!? The truth is, everyone has great ideas and intentions, but seldom do they become actions. The ones who succeed are the ones who feed their passion and define their purpose. The honor is reserved for the “few who do versus the many who wish”. The challenge to you is to take a good look in the mirror and ask yourself today, “Are you serving your life sentence?” |
