Through strength, we overcome resistance, which feels pretty awesome. But sometimes we can get lost in that awesome feeling and forget the reasons we are overcoming that particular resistance in the first place. When we have forgotten the why, and glorify in our ability to overcome, we fall into the Trap of Strength.

Here it is, the monthly report card. Accountability doesn't count unless you report and review the findings. Some wins, some losses, but all good insight and further refinement of direction.

Reviewing a NYT article on the evolution of #hustle. It isn't new, or even old. It's ancient. It comes with some planning that might be valuable to consider if you have decided to go all in on the "Rise and Grind" lifestyle.

Sometimes inspiration and drive are distant whispers that seem too far away to bother to do anything about. This attitude in itself is a clue to other things that may be going on in life, things that draw away creative energy and inspiration. Knowing how to listen for that and then evaluating what needs to be done to get back into the creative driver seat is a good skill set to cultivate.

Focus and attention are valuable ways to be creative, and creativity leads to creation. Carving out time in busy lifestyles is a challenge sometimes. We need to make that time, and then we need to fill it with high value activities that make better use of it than we would normally. There are even a few factors to specifically consider.

Consistency, Fortitude, Attention and Focus go a long way to make up for any shortage in natural talent or genius. Sometimes it is better to have them even. The very best have both. Let’s talk about attention and focus.

A big part of Emotional Intelligence is being able to navigate our own inner workings. How to know when our unconscious self is at play and working for or against us would be a good tool to have.

The use of negation language frames the mind with barriers and limitations. Sometimes that is helpful, but often it leads us into states of helplessness. Changing our language is sometimes the path to regaining empowerment in our lives.

It's amazing what a change in perspective can do. We can unlock our inner power through a series of choices that free those things that are already within us waiting to be realized.

Living a powerful and meaningful life means taking ownership of where we invest our time and energy. If we don't invest it actively, we allow someone else to invest out time in THEIR meaningful outcomes. When you are the investor, you are the Adult. When you are the investee, you are relying on luck and good will to find fulfillment.
