Communicate… Don’t hallucinate!

Posted under Featured, Relationship

As a life coach, I deal with clients who are afraid to take actions that will change their life for the positive.  One client in particular was ready to make a big change.  She realized that she hated her job and she was doing it to prove to everyone that she was “someone”.  When I [...]

Your attitude today is a function of the future you create

Posted under Goal Setting, Life Coaching, Mindset, Take Action, Transforming Fear into Action

I just got off the phone with a very powerful executive who’s in charge of billions.  Several weeks ago he admitted that he was spending most of his day being angry about a certification that he had signed up to receive.  The certification was important.  It will give him even more credibility in his industry [...]

What to do when you have settled for mediocre?

Posted under Featured, Mindset

Are you stuck in a mediocre life?  A client recently said, “I’ve made it OK that I live a mediocre, sucky life and that I have settled for less than I could be.”

Someday when I lose weight, then I will…
And until that someday arrives?  What?  You will have a “just okay” kinda life?

The Misery of “This shouldn’t be!”

Nothing should be.  That’s just The Drunk Monkey making your miserable.  Have you ever noticed that The Drunk Monkey can create hypothetical situations to argue any point… including things you know nothing about?  Pay attention to how The Drunk Monkey tells you that “Life should not be the way that it is!”  As if The [...]

…and then you die!

It’s hard to be happy when you forget that your life is temporary, transient and basically meaningless.  Profound happiness can not be achieved by speculating about the future or contemplating the past.  Yet The Drunk Monkey spends endless time on the past and future.
Your life you will go up, down, all around and then you [...]

3 Steps to the present moment

As an Inspired Action life coach, I’m constantly working with my big players to get into this moment.  In the moment there is nothing to fear.  There is no negativity in the present moment.  So they always ask, “How do you get into the present moment?”  The practice is one of letting go and focusing.

Reliablility is at the source of opportunity

As a life coach, part of my job is to help you make promises that will create the life of your dreams.  The problem is, most people don’t know how to make and keep promises.  Most people make a promise, don’t keep it and then come up with a good excuse as to why it [...]
