You have hopes, goals, and dreams for the future.  But, something holds you back from going after them.  It could be fear, worry, or doubt.  It’s so much easier to stay in your current comfort zone of what you know to be safe.  However, that’s not how big goals are achieved.  You must learn to allow yourself to take a chance and bravely step into the unknown.  Otherwise, you’ll never know what you could have accomplished in your life.

Limiting Beliefs

There are many goals that have been put on your heart for a reason.  But, you’re still holding yourself back from achieving them.  Maybe it’s not the right time, you need more experience, you fear failure or judgement, and perhaps you doubt yourself by thinking who are you to dream up something so audacious, etc.  There are many limiting beliefs that stop you right in your tracks from going after your goals and dreams in life.  Ultimately, these thoughts are limiting what you can achieve and it’s keeping you stuck in your comfort ...

At the start of the new year, you get to choose what’s in and what’s out.  You get to choose what you subscribe to and unsubscribe from.  These are the things that are going to help you create massive gains in your life verses the things that are draining your energy and keeping you from achieving your goals.  Let’s get clear on what you want and don’t want in your life this year.

What’s In

Start by making a list of the things that make you feel good and rejuvenated.  These are the things that make you happy and boost your energy.  Think about the things that make you smile and light you up.  Maybe that’s surrounding yourself with the right people by setting aside time to spend with supportive friends and family.  Perhaps it’s prioritizing time to consistently work on your goals.  You might want to follow inspirational people or subscribe to motivational content that empowers you to go after your goals.  It could be that you need to slow down, pause, and take time to recharge w...

As you begin this year, it’s important to take note of where you currently are.  Assess where you’re at with your goals.  Perhaps you want to achieve something really big this year.  In order to do so, you’re going to need these three keys to a successful year.

What’s Working

First, begin by thinking about what you’re going to keep doing that’s working for you right now.  Maybe this is using your planner to schedule important tasks, limiting your social media consumption, prioritizing non-negotiable time to work on your goals, etc.  Think about the things you have prioritized doing that have made the biggest difference in making progress towards your goals.  These are the things you want to stay focused on continuing to do because these are the needle moving tasks that are going to help you achieve your goals this year.  Make a list of the things you need to keep doing in order to continue making progress towards your goals this year.

As this year comes to an end, it’s the perfect time to reflect on where you are.  Maybe you’re proud of the work you’ve done and the progress you’ve made this year.  Or, perhaps you’re not quite where you’d like to be and the new year gives you hope that there’s something better on its way to you.  As this year comes to a close, look to the new year with hope that there is still time to make changes.  You do not have to continue doing what you’ve always done and settling for less.  You can choose something new and different for your life.  You get to make the deciding factor to continue living life as is or choose a new direction.  A new year can be a fresh start and whole new beginning for you.

Goal Setting

A new year can bring a sense excitement, hope, light, love, and optimism for what’s to come.  There is plenty more in store for you and your life.  Sometimes you just have to remind yourself of that.  Start by thinking about what you want to create in the new year.  Conside...

Going into the new year, you have hopes, goals, and dreams for yourself.  Keeping those goals at the forefront of you mind is important so that you continue to take action towards what you want to make happen in the new year.  One way to keep your goals on your mind is to have a daily reminder.  Many choose a word of the year as guidance towards what you want to achieve.  This year, I’m going to encourage you to dig a bit deeper and come up with a guiding question.

Guiding Question

A guiding question is meant to make you pause and think.  It helps you become present to the current moment so that you think things through before acting.  It’s meant to help guide you in the right direction instead of going down the wrong path.  Choosing a guiding question will keep your attention on what you want to create and make happen in the new year.

Your Goal

Start by assessing where you currently are.  Complete an inventory of how you feel mentally, physically, and emotionally.  Then, ...

It’s a perfect time for reflection as this year comes to an end.  Reflect over what you’ve gone through, who you’ve become, and what you’ve had to do.  More importantly, you can reflect over just how much you’ve grown.  This is a time to celebrate your success, lessons learned, and your growth this year.

Growth Areas

You’ve lived through a whole entire year through all the ups and downs.  Since the start of the year, you’ve learned and grown a lot.  Take inventory of the areas you’ve grown in. One particular area of your life may have been a huge focal point this year.  But, usually you’ve grown in more areas than one.  These are the areas that challenged you, forced you to think, be creative, stay strong, and level up.  This has helped you become who you are now, which is smarter, wiser, and ready for the next challenge.  Growth can be hard to measure but it’s through the challenges in life that can really show you how much you’ve grown.

What you think and believe about success will become your reality.  Therefore, if you want massive abundance in your life, you must first look at what you think and believe about your ability to achieve success.  Choose to start believing in yourself, your goals, dreams, and unlimited potential.  Let go of the limiting mindset that’s holding you back.  When you do, amazing things will happen.  You’ll open yourself up to receiving so much success, abundance, and happiness in life.  You have unlimited potential if you were to just believe.

Defying Gravity

One of the most powerful songs in the Broadway musical Wicked is Defying Gravity.  This song is about letting go of the limits that are holding you back and being able to truly step into your own personal power where no one can stop you.  It’s helping you to believe in yourself and that anything is possible for your life.  It’s changing your thoughts and beliefs to see your unlimited future potential.  Your success is inevitable...

Your thoughts are one of the most powerful things that will either help or hinder you from achieving your goals in life.  It’s what you believe is possible for your life.  As Henry Ford said, whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.  What you think and believe to be true is how you will base your decisions.  It will also determine how you respond to certain life events.  If you want to open yourself up to unlimited future possibilities in your life then you’re going to have to be cognizant of what you think and believe.

Your Thoughts

Your thoughts and beliefs dictate what actions you take.  If you believe you’re capable of success then you’ll bravely take action.  If you believe you’re incapable and act from a place of fear, then you hold yourself back from taking action towards your goals and life’s biggest dreams.  You’ll quickly cast away any unlimited future possibilities because you have doubt and don’t believe it’s possible for you.  What’s going to...

You have certain goals and dreams for your life.  When you don’t take action towards those things, you’re preventing yourself from making progress.  You’re sidelining your goals and dreams for something that may give you instant satisfaction now.  Whether that’s sitting on the couch watching tv, scrolling social media, or eating fast food.  Usually, these things are easier than doing the hard work to achieve your goals.  It requires less thought, effort, and time.  The amount of output you have to give is less than actually doing the necessary, more difficult tasks to achieve your goals.  But, this is taking the easy way out.  It’s being lazy.  It’s procrastinating.  It’s putting off your goals and dreams for another day.  However, your goals and dreams won’t wait forever.  It’s time to get yourself into action.  Learn how to be committed to taking action towards your goals so that you can make progress and achieve success!

Sometimes you don’t want to take action towards your goals.  You’ve lost your motivation and everything else sounds better than working towards your goal.  However, you know not taking action towards your goal is the beginning of the end.  One day without taking action towards your goal turns into two days, three days, a week, a month, a year, etc.  It’s time to get excited about your goals again.  Learn how you can rediscover your motivation to achieve your goals so that you can get back into action and make progress towards your life’s biggest dreams.

Motivation

One of the most common misconceptions when it comes to achieving your goals is that you should feel motivated all the time.  This is simply not true.  There will be many times where you don’t feel motivated to work towards your goals.  Everything else that’s easier sounds like more fun.  You’ll even procrastinate by cleaning or doing other household chores rather than the more difficult tasks required to achieve your ...
