THE SWEET SPOT

You know when life is just groovin'?  I love those times when everything just seems to fall into place and it seems like I have such a great stride happening.

I am constantly seeking to find a balance and a rhythm for life that just makes sense.. for me!  Through my work over the years I have learned that each one of us has a different definition of what success means and the pace in which we pursue those dreams and aspirations.

Awareness is key.  Learning about yourself and what makes you live and work in an optimal way is knowledge that will always be appreciated and valued.

Dig deep and ask yourself key questions about what you want, how you want and why you want it and then start the process of finding the right groove... and don't forget good music too!

PRESSING THROUGH

Pressing through the challenges of life are always easier when you have a support network around you, isn't it?

It really is an eye opening thought to realize who the people are that are really invested into seeing you through those times of struggle especially and to come to the realization that there are others more superficial in relationship than what you might have originally realized.

For me, I count myself so blessed to know clearly who those people are in my life who have made and continue to make such a positive difference.

To those that I have lovingly said goodbye to, that just want to be around for the good times and finally, for the awesome people I have yet to meet, I look forward to that.

To those people in my life that have made a difference to me,wh whether for a short time or a long time, I dedicate this day to you.

You know who you are and I hope to pay it forward myself to others in the same way you have shown me your kindness, love and grace.

CHARACTER

Character is treating others and expecting nothing in return.  When you hear someone say, "Be of good character", do you know what that means? I believe that having good character is one of the best compliments you can ever receive.

Carrying yourself consistently with good character, good morales and with integrity will set you apart as a leader worth following.

HUNGRY

Managing life change is often times exciting but can be disruptiven and stressful as well. 

Being hungry for more out of life and having the courage to take the steps to get there are inspiring and daunting. 

What's the worse that can happen. 

Failing is good as long as you are failing forward and look how much growth will happen. 

It's always learning experience in one way or another and change will happen.

CLIMBING THE MOUNTAIN

"Success is the grace in which you climb the mountain" Paula Morand

Lately I have been writing alot about character for many reasons. I have learned as an entrepreneur when growing your business, there a numerous mountains to climb and some of them are not easy mountains. I have also just recently had two deaths in our family and it has shown me how precarious life and relationships are. Taking the time to truly define what success means to you is so important. What will people say about you when you are gone? 

What kind of a footprint will you leave? 

Wishing you a wonderful Saturday.Paula 

INVESTING IN SUCCESS

Robert Kyosoki wrote that "Success takes an investment in time, dedication, and sacrifice. This is true education. It is a process".

I think this statement is very true. I think one also needs to define what success means to them as that answer may ebb and flow differently depending on the time of life you are in and your priorities. 

Whatever the answer is though, it still remains that if you want posiitive gains in your life, you need to commit the time, energy and press on in determination to see it through to fruition.

Have a great day! 

CELEBRATE SUCCESS

Today I am doing an interview about my businesses and profile as a speaker/ author and entrepreneur.
It got me thinking immediately about all the things I haven't accomplished yet and questioned if I really had accomplished enough to give a good interview. 

Funny how it can be so easy to lean to the negative rather than embrace and celebrate the wins in life. 

"Celebrate your successes and not you failures" 

Tell yourself job well done and kick off your Monday being simply awesome. Have a great day and for the record I plan on giving a great interview too!

SET BACK OR SET FORTH?

Your set backs are also your set forths".  Paula Morand

Time and time again throughout my life I have seen this as truth. Many times we strive for something only to be stopped in our tracks for one reason or another. In the end it is those times that we look back and are thankful as that allowed us to shift gears and put us on the path that we were meant to be on. 

If you are discouraged in some way right now and facing an uphill battle and feel stopped in one way or another, maybe the situation is just helping you course correct so you can take a different path. Food for thought anyway.

Wishing you a fantastic Friday friends.

I WONDER

How is it possible that Oprah Winfrey became the billionaire success story like she has.  Or Micheal Jordan, President Obama, Mark Zuckerberg and the list goes on to thousands.  The fact is that many of have faced failures in our lifetime and probably will again.

It is the one's who get back up, shake it off and keep dreaming and wondering how their situation could get better that make it to the other side of amazing.

Never stop wondering.  Never stop dreaming about what could be rather than what couldn't be.
