If you think about your life as a project, you would have a destination or an objective in mind. Yet so few people know what they truly desire at a sent end point.

Today I talk about setting your baseline, so that you can take stock of your life and determine where you truly desire to go.

Begin with the end in mind, starting at 5 years out and break it down to 1 year, 6 months, and 4 weeks, and you will see that it's really not as difficult as you might think ... you just need to start from where you are.

Your beliefs can seem oh so very real to you. But if you consider a belief is simply a thought you think over and over, there is a possibility that somewhere along the line you believed something that just isn't true anymore. 

That Belief System (B.S.) often doesn't reflect who you are today.

What do you do when you realize that? 

Today I talk about that pesky ego and what we might do when we realize our beliefs no longer serve us.

Are you your own worst enemy because you are trying to be perfect? Instead, consider being your own best cheerleader. 

When you allow yourself grace, you see progress over perfection.

Be as supportive of yourself as you would be for others, reward your discipline, and watch your results take care of themselves.

If you considered yourself as a brand, what would your brand say? Who are you, really?

Today I talk about Tom Peters' book "The Brand You 50" and explore what your personal brand says about you at work and in all parts of your life.

Whether you are an employee or self-employed, how might you think about creating a brand that shouts distinction, commitment, and passion?

Michael Singer is a former CEO, a computer guy, and a yogi, and I am a devoted fan to his work which includes the books The Untethered Soul and The Surrender Experiment as well as several lectures I've been listening to on Audible.

Today I'm sharing some of the thoughts I've been learning about how to mind my mind, thanks to Michael Singer's teaching.

Manifestation is lining things up on purpose and then trusting and allowing in something greater to bring what you desire to you. If you're not aware of what's around you, you might miss what the universe has in store for you.

Today I talk about Situational Awareness along with Frequency Awareness and how those mindsets will allow a different, if not necessarily better, experience of living.

When you stay the course in an investment, whether that's financial or personal, you will probably have a better result overall than if you continually multitask (which is a lie anyway).

The Squirrel Effect keeps us from focusing on whatever is most important and, even though results seem to come more slowly, they are usually more lasting.

Today I mention the books The One Thing by Gary Keller & Jay Papasan, Fierce Conversations by Susan Scott, Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, and The Bellwether Effect by Lance Secretan.

You've heard the story of the Hatfields and McCoys, two families who have been fighting for so many generations they've forgotten what the initial fight was about, right? Is there any element of that story that rings true at all for you?

When we fight, we are usually in a lower vibrational energy, and are more concerned about what we DON'T want than in standing for what we DO want. 

Today I share some ancient wisdom about perspective which may shift your perspective about fighting.

What do you notice showing up in your physical space? If you're joyful and thinking about what's RIGHT, isn't that what you notice? When you feel stuck, do you notice that problems seem to compound?

When you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do if you really want to get out is to stop digging. If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always gotten.

Today I talk about some ideas for getting unstuck, which is a place we've all been, and will probably be again someday.

I am using SARK's Juicy Living card deck you can find at www.campsark.com.

What if there was a different way to look at the world than the one you have been conditioned to see? Not necessarily better ... just different? 

Today I talk about the distinction between seeing through the eyes of fear and through the eyes of love.

I refer to A Course in Miracles, and also the Landmark Forum.
