I want to encourage you to rethink happiness. Consider that happiness is an emotion and not a state of being. There are quality states like being satisfied and being fulfilled that you can be in and not necessarily be happy. I can be a fulfilled person and still have every emotion because some situations call for happiness, some situations call for anger and some situation call for sadness. That doesn't mean I’m unfulfilled. Having happiness as a goal, having an emotion be the goal results in a lot of disappointment. It’s a high that's difficult to maintain. That expectation actually creates more stress in our lives. Instead of thinking about holding an emotion as the goal think of a quality state to be in. You can be in the quality state of being faithful. You can choose to have faith in the face of adversity even when you can't be happy.

Do you know what the scary thing about believing in universal intelligence is... that it’s really all possible? The really scary part of that is you might actually do something about it. That’s what happens with real belief. The power of emotionally believing something is really hard to contain. In fact I don't think you can. You just move towards something because it's inevitable.

The only reality that matters is your own. As you think about shaping that and what influences it, you have to think how you feel about yourself. I travel a lot solo and I get asked often, “Why are you still single?”  On this particular trip, I was in a Spanish tapas bar eating and drinking and having a good time by myself. These two guys ask me this. I just told them, “There's nothing wrong with me. I'm perfect just the way that I am.” And in that moment my reality became their reality. They thought I was just as amazing too. I'll leave you with that. The only reality that matters is your own and that's the one you have to spend time shaping. 

Good morning. Today, I want to talk about dreams and dreaming a little dream or dreaming a big dream. We often overestimate what we can do in one day but underestimate what we can do in ten years. I want you to dream your big dream. And then think how can I make that big dream even better and go beyond it and outside of it? This is to stretch our dreaming muscles. Because if we can think it and imagine it, it’s possible for us. So I want you to imagine bigger and think better to make your possibilities even greater. Want answers?

Sometimes after I've had a good cry, like a really good one because I’ve been really sad, I’ll have a moment where I can pull myself together and then I’ll just be in awe that I’m having one human emotion that shows that I'm alive. And I had it in great depth because I sobbed incessantly. It's a beautiful thing. What powerful emotion do you have in you that's dying to get out? So let it out and treat it as something beautiful.

Caroline Myss quote: Your spirit is the part of you that is seeking meaning and purpose. Another way to understand spirit is that it’s the part of you that is drawn to hope, that will not give into despair. The part of you that has to believe in goodness; that has to believe in something more.

What are you doing to feed your spirit today? What can you do, think, say or believe to bolster your spirit because that's the part of you that believes in goodness. That's the part of you that believes in something more.  You never want that part to die. If you have any questions, thoughts or comments, please send them to [email protected]

Hello and welcome to 2019. I want to encourage you to think about a word for the year. Sometimes having a resolution is really overwhelming. This year, for me, my word is CREATE. I want to actually think about being creative, doing creative things, bringing things into the world and just being in full creation mode. I want to encourage you, instead of trying to find a resolution. Just think of a word that inspires you. Capture that spirit and hold onto that for the year.

Life Coach Karen Lin of The Lin Life inspires you to Live your Legacy. A legacy is what you give to the world everyday that you are in it, not something that you leave behind.

I help change makers who want to make a difference in the world amplify their impact.
