All That Glitters…

All that Glitters is not gold. It’s a common saying that means things are not all that they appear to be. It’s an important facet to consider when making decisions. So be sure to check out:

  • The new job and corporate culture before you sign your acceptance.
  • Get to know your partner before you marry…yikes!  (habits, likes, dislikes, meet-the-parents, past experiences, plans for the future…do they include you)?
  • Investigate. Do a house inspection before purchase.
  • Research before you relocate
  • Read the reviews before buying the product (including return policy).
  • Research and/or  visit college before deciding to go.
  • Know the genre before you write.
  • Know the Joneses before you try to keep up

These are just a few examples to what could be a very long list. So do your background checks before making life changing decisions. Some mistakes can be avoided.

Cheers!

Don’t Blur the Lines…

Just be you…

Don’t Blur the lines between who you are and who you want to be. Don’t try to be like others. Just be you. Your success will then be guaranteed.

Cheers!

 Expectation

Years Later…How Would They Find You?

If someone you know who left town 10 years ago returned today, how would they find you? Lukewarm? Would you still be living in the same place? House the same color? Furniture in the same place? Would you be in the same job? Same career? Eating the same? Dressing the same? Would you still be…….(fill in the blank).

Something to think about. Change is good.

What to Do When You Don’t Know What to Do…

clearing your mind of the dissonance so common to times of transition.

Years ago I bought a book titled What to do when you don’t Know What to do. I was going through a period of transition. I didn’t know what to do, or where to go. I wandered into a bookstore and started searching for something…anything. After browsing for about an hour, I saw that title and it spoke to me. Without thinking I bought the book.

Another time I was at the airport traveling on business and needed something to read. Then I saw it …a book titled Sometimes you Win, Sometimes you  Learn by John Maxwell. Another travel search – God Will Make a Way. Sometimes just reading the title draws me in and makes me buy the book. I have learned that books speak to us as though it were divine intervention, Lovingly shouting” here I am, buy me”! So writers, write on! Even your titles sell books!

Times of Transition

In essence, whenever you’re going through stuff…be it on the job, in your business, relationship, friends or family that causes you to Tremble, go to your quiet place and whisper. The silence will draw you into that place where you can experience quiet, loving solitude and inner peace. If time away does not help, then speak with a coach, or a professional who can assist you with clearing your mind of the dissonance so common to times of transition.

Trails of success.

For those who have achieved there is always a trail. Be it in the entrepreneurial climb, the treks of academic acclaim, the beauty of a loving family, the longing of a beautiful relationship, or the Scent of music divine.

Indeed Success does leave a trail. Retreat, step back, cease the moment. Time silently tugs. Hypothetical, real or imagined…. the journey’s path inspires serene connection.

Replace your doubts with confidence. Work hard, climb, cry if you must but don’t give up. It will be worth it when you look back at its Replacement all divinely satisfied.

Cheers!

Success Starts Here…


Peter Souza, former official White House photographer, when asked about his success said “you have gotta start somewhere and there is no one path to be successful”  (in his case photography). But I extend it to say, it is the same thing for any endeavor we strive for in life. You have to start somewhere.

So when you feel Cranky, keep Climbing. Give it your best shot. Believe and you will achieve.

Cheers!
