I have encountered a fair number of new clients or friends who get upset when I talk about being in control of your own life. Like, really upset. In fact, one person called me out on it pretty harshly. I’m okay with that. I’ve found the blessing in this. When someone calls you out on your beliefs you have a choice to make it work for you or get really upset and defensive. You see, it can cause you to…
Someone I know asked a really tough question the other day. They were angry about someone who had hurt a child and were being allowed access to tv, computers and learning while in jail. The comment was something along the lines of ‘how do they deserve that?’. The story was disturbing, but the question she asked remained in my head for a long time. She mentioned that she tries to have compassion for others in her daily life but can’t…
Some people have asked me ‘what’ I am. Have you ever had that question? It can be asked around religion, spirituality, job title, culture…so much can land under that question. I find that amusing because there was a time when finding my label, my ‘thing’ was super important to me. I thought that knowing the correct answer would not only bring me clarity but would support me in creating Step Into Brilliance and even my own personal best life. I…
Giving is a wonderful thing isn’t it? Well, it IS, til it’s not. We’ve been bombarded with messages our whole lives about the wonderful magic and giving. Better to give than receive The giver is blessed thrice over Giving is better than receiving I don’t want anything except to make you happy He’s so nice he’d give you the shirt off his own back You can only get what you give There is a lot that we could unpack about…
Sometimes the problem is not the problem, only our interpretation of the problem is the problem. Get it? Ya, it’s a bit messy sounding and can lead down a pretty winding path of eye’s widening and exclaiming “ooooh!” I’m not going to lie, that winding path goes deep. Still, you don’t have to walk the whole thing today. Just get started, start thinking about things a little differently. A great philosopher (whose name escapes me right now, but if you…
Quick disclaimer: If you are someone who is completely satisfied with your life then this post is probably not for you. Feel free to click on a different post or go get some ice-cream, have a nap or whatever catches your fancy. For the rest of us, I have a tip that will literally (and I mean that in the truest sense of the word) change everything. Yes…EVERYthing. I’m not kidding or exaggerating even a little. It’s easy. It’s free….
You may have heard me say that most of us need to be far more gentle with our selves than we generally are. Heck, I may have even said it to you directly. I’m a BIG believer that we ought to treat ourselves as nicely (or better) than we would treat any one else. Unfortunately, that often is not the case. There seems to be this weird perception that there some badge of honor for abusing ourselves. You know what…
Trust me, this is a real thing. And it’s awesome because anyone can join in and many do! There is absolutely no requirements except a negative, pessimistic, whiny, attitude, Mind you, with a dash of victim mentality you can really move up the ranks! How do you know if you are in the ‘it’s all crappy’ club? Check your mindset! What lens are you viewing the world through? Listen to how you talk to others and to yourself. Listen…
It’s happened to me, to friends, clients and I’m sure you have had at least some experience with life feeling like it’s crumbling around you. Where it seems to be falling apart no matter which direction you look. Work is a big ball of stress and craziness, you get a flat or the engine starts knocking, a fight with your partner, and with any luck you not only get a cold but break out. You feel like life is out…
