Happy Fall! I invite you to take a few minutes to enjoy this inspirations video titled, ” What Is Your Hope?” . Watch and then answer the question for yourself. This video is also a great conversation starter for your family, your book club, your wisdom circle or your work team.
Knowing others’ hopes and dreams helps you forge strong relationships and offers insight into what is important to others.
As always, make it a great week!

That’s Some
Balancing Act!
This is an updated repost of a fan favorite from a few years ago. Enjoy!
Let’s see… there’s a lot on your plate. You work 50 hours each week, you’re almost at the end of your Tax extension, you need to clear your desk of debris so that what’s lurking on your desk can peek through, not to mention the fact that it’s time for little leagues, graduations, and summer weddings. If you’re like me, you can do it all – but at what cost? Are you working your life away?
I can only assume that Building a Powerful Vision for your future includes a point at which you can stop the madness and enjoy some leisure time. If you’re waiting for someday to say no to the many demands on your time, that day may never come, unless you set the date yourself. To get you started, here’s an exercise that will take just 5 minutes to complete.
If you’re looking for ways to put your dreams into action, consider getting a copy of either of my books on the topic of Building A Powerful Vision. You can build a vision board yourself, throw a party with friends or begin a one year journey of creating a life you love. So many choices!D
I read an interesting quip on the internet: “Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.”
What can you train yourself to do between now and the end of the year? We have just under six weeks left in 2016, so if follow the path of the dolphin, you could train yourself twice over to do something new.
Here is what I am thinking about doing with these last productive weeks…
There are multiple benefits to any of these choices, yet making the choice to create a habit of any of these doesn’t move me to action until I envision myself engaged in the activity.
I review each of the habits I am considering and I do a bit more visioning. I think about both success and challenge. In most cases, the challenge is circumstances that might get i the way of follow-through. If I can see myself overcoming the interruption and carrying on until a firm habit is established, I am most likely to succeed.
I know who I am up against, when I undertake a new venture, so I often put picture to paper and create a themed vision board to strengthen my resolve.
