Taking Action

Resolve to Change

by Michaeline on April 20, 2013

Are you feeling stuck in a situation that you don’t like and want to change? Are you tired of trying to figure out how to make a change? Have you given up?

Each day offers an opportunity to renew your resolve and to declare to the world that you are ready for change. Proclaim out loud that you are open to help and that you intend to create change for yourself.  This affirmation to the world, and to yourself, may be just what you need to remove the inertia you are experiencing. This may be enough of a shift to allow you to get out of the phase that has been keeping you stuck.

Let today to be the day to end this phase and become involved in a new way of being.

Life Has No Remote…

by Michaeline on April 13, 2013

…so get up and change it!

The only person that can make your life better is YOU! The only person that ever stands in the way of your happiness and prosperity is YOU.

Change the way you take responsibility of your happiness and you will change your life. Take 100% responsibility for your choices- no blaming, complaining or justifying.

It is difficult to understand, even in retrospect, how the choices you have made have added up to your current situation, but it is a good idea to examine the story that you tell yourself. If you tend to regard yourself as a failure, this will block your ability to succeed. You have the power to change the story you tell yourself. Acknowledge that in the past you did your best and recognize that you have many positive qualities.  Admit that you have learned from your experiences and this well help you with your current choices.

Now get up and make the changes that you desire!

Predict Your Future

The best way to predict the future is to create it. Each day you have a choice. You can choose to live the life we want. You can choose your responses to the things that you face on a daily basis. Realize that the choice is yours alone to make. That you are the driver on the bus [...]

June 2, 2012

All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible. ~T.E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars of [...]
