Enthusiasm is the key

Keep your enthusiasm alive, even when the manifestation of your vision is moving slower than you anticipated. Never lose your enthusiasm....keep plugging away....Remain enthusiastic about Life and your Dreams! Just because someone else didn't get it done, doesn't mean you can't be creative and take a different approach and make great things happen! Never Give Up! Don't aim too low.....Stretch Yourself.......Believe that you have what's needed to make the difference. 

"Enthusiasm is the mother of effort, and without it, nothing great was ever achieved." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Quit Making Excuses

Everyone has the same amount of time. The only difference is what you're willing to do with your time. If you were trapped underground and only had 24 hours worth of oxygen you wouldn't check your Twitter feed or chat with friends or spend a little "me time" in front of the TV. You'd dig and dig and dig. Apply the same level of importance and urgency to what you want to accomplish and your schedule will instantly clear, because finding time is always a matter of how badly you want something.  It's possible that one of your excuses for not starting your own business is that you don't have enough time.  Check out 15 terrible excuses (article from Inc.com) that just might strike a nerve and ring a bell with you as Jeff Haden highlights some of the common excuses/rationalizations you might be convincing yourself of.  Take a look here

Sing Your Song...Live Out Loud

" A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer; it sings because it has a song." - Maya Angelou

Remembering Dr. Maya Angelou - What a beautiful tribute to an authentic, well-lived soul,  whose spirit will live on forever with those who knew and loved her and who were ever touched or influenced by her great gifts to this world. Her words of wisdom are forever sketched on my heart....readily accessible Mother-wit!  #RIP #MayaAngelouMemorial

Find that place of unspeakable Joy and stay there....rest there for awhile and then get up and share, teach, reach and Love!

Release Me

Your gifts cry out
and scream "Release Me..
I want to be shared,
I want to be free,
not left in this prison
of fear within thee."


Your dreams, they lie dormant
won't glimpse the daylight
won't breathe fresh air
won't rest until night


Tucked in and settled
for less than you are
Not striving, just doubtful
Not living by far

Your gifts cry out
and scream "Release Me..
I want to be free,
not left in this prison
of fear within thee."

Release Me and Live
Share Me and Give
Celebrate and Thrive
Release Me....
