Intentional Choice

by Michaeline on October 23, 2010

“Knowing your deepest intention can be your guiding force in the creation of a better life.”
— Oprah

This quote came to me the other day via the Thought for the Day from http://www.ophra.com. I thought it so ironic that this particular email would find me as I focus on choice.

Achieving goals is all about your perspective…it’s about the daily choices you make. In a related article to the above quote the author talks about intentions, goals and actions. Or stated another way- ask, believe and act as defined in The Secret by Rhonda Byrne.

If you are feeling stuck and unable toachieve the goals you have set for yourself ask yourself if your goal is intentional and then make the choice to act on that goal. What goal will you pick and what is your intention?

Letting Go

by Michaeline on May 26, 2009

What are you hanging onto? Stuff? Beliefs? Habits?

In order to get rid of things you no longer need you must also consider the mental clutter that has become a part of your life…

Let go of:
• Feelings of inadequacy. Don’t compare yourself to others. Appreciate yourself for who you are and what you contribute.
• Mistakes and regrets. You have to be willing to fail in order to succeed. Don’t waste energy on reliving things that didn’t work. Focus your energy on finding new ways to be fulfilled.
• Feeling the need to be secure. If you stay in your comfort zone you will never grow. Imagine the possibilities and leap. You might be surprised at what you find on the other end.
• Unhealthy assumptions. Don’t let negative beliefs hold you back. Create your intention…. your reality.

So lighten your load and intend that you will let go of things that no longer serve you whether it be stuff or thoughts. What will that first thing be?

Agreement #1 – Be Impeccable With Your Word

September 6, 2008

In the book The Four Agreements (Amber-Allen Publishing, Inc. 1997) by Don Miguel Ruiz  it lists the first of the agreements as “be impeccable with your word”. The author states “When you are impeccable, you take responsibility for your actions, but you do not judge or blame yourself.” This statement was very powerful to me. [...]
