Motivational Minute 200

Today’s Motivational Minute…

If you don’t like where you currently are in life, take a REAL assessment of your thoughts and words and see if they add up to your current destination.  If you aren’t happy with what you come up with, you have the power to change where you end up.  Remember that where you are now is a result of your past thoughts and words.  What you think about you bring about and what you say you become.  

Remember to thine own self be TRUE, for out of the abundance of the HEART, the mouth SPEAKS… speak life and be true!

Until next time…

Motivational Minute 185

Today’s Motivational Minute…

There are three things that keep you from accomplishing your goals and pursuing your purpose… PEOPLE, PLACES, AND THINGS. What PEOPLE are you associating with; what PLACES do you frequent, and what THINGS, .i.e. thoughts, conversations, telephone, television, social media, etc., keep you from accomplishing your goals? Take a moment to write them all down. Remember, in order to overcome these obstacles, you must first acknowledge them and then tackle each one.

Motivational Minute 176

Today’s Motivational Minute…

The question is asked… ‘How do you eat an elephant?‘  The answer is given… ‘One bite at a time.‘  If you have a goal that seems insurmountable, think about it in terms of how you would eat a big ole juicy elephant :) … one goal, one objective and one action step at a time.  No one said walking in purpose was easy or an overnight success.  Just keep moving and be consistent and efficient with your movement.  Don’t waste time doing tasks that don’t get you any closer to your ultimate goal of living life in and on purpose.

Today’s Motivational Minute…

If you’ve made New Year’s Resolutions and find that you never commit to staying with them, maybe you should stop creating resolutions and just commit to producing New Year Solutions to old year problems or challenges. It could also be that you’ve never had anything that you were passionate about doing therefore you weren’t driven to make them happen.

Take a moment today to find one to two challenges you’ve had in the past but have yet to overcome and work on creating solutions to those. Also, commit to doing one thing each day to make those desired solutions come to fruition.

11 in 2011

 

 

As this year comes to a close, I am reminded of some of my greatest accomplishments this year.  So I figured that although everything didn’t go as planned, there were a few things that did.

Here are my top 11 accomplishments in 2011…

1. Gave birth to my son on 9/1/11.  I just love Dallas Miles Trueheart.  My husband and I sit and stare in amazement at this wonderful blessing that God has given us.  We just love him to pieces.  Some days I still can’t believe I am someone’s mommy :)

2. Celebrated my 35th birthday.  What a milestone.  Who knew that being 35 could feel so good!

3. Celebrated my 5th Wedding Anniversary with my love, DKMT.  With so much negative talk about marriage and so many marriages falling apart, I am thankful for another year with my husband.  Anything in life is what you make it, and we’ve decided to make ours GREAT!

4. Graduated with my second Masters in Mental Health Counseling.  It was definitely a struggle some  days but I did it (while pregnant with my son) :)

5. Expanded the services of TrueheartSpeaks Enterprises by launching the coaching component of my business.

6. Being able to share my gifts with you all via, speaking, coaching and writing

7. Being allowed to wake up each morning and experience God’s grace and greatness!  I don’t take it for granted.

8. Working with this year’s YMBP contestants.  I get so much out working with my girls each year but I also love giving some much to them as well.

9. Having so many wonderful people in my life who love and care for me.  Many people can’t say that.  I count it a blessing to be loved.  And though some wouldn’t consider it an accomplishment, I do because it takes work to not only develop but maintain great relationships.

10. Becoming a parent and sharing in the experience of caring for my son. This could have been attached to giving birth to my son but I could them separately because giving birth and having my son was an experience in and of itself, while being a parent (as some of you know) is also an experience alllll by itself.

11. Finally having an opportunity to live my dream as a, Entrepreneur as a speaker and life coach.  Being your own boss isn’t always as easy as we think but it’s so worth it.  I would work for me any day!!! :)

Hopefully you enjoyed reading my 11 in 2011.  I tried to keep it simple ;) .  Now that you’ve taken the time to read my 11 in 2011, take a few moments, and write down your 11 in 2011.  It will help you realize that when you think about it and write it down, you actually have much to be thankful for and that 2011 was probably a lot better than you thought.

HAPPY NEW YEAR… thanks for stopping by each day to read your motivational minute posts.  I look forward to sharing with you in 2012 to help you live life in and on purpose.

Today’s Motivational Minute…

As this year comes to a close, take a moment to take inventory on what you have accomplished this year.  Make a list and put it somewhere that you will be able to access easily and see it when that inner critic comes in to tell what you can’t, won’t, or shouldn’t do.  This will serve as a reminder of what you are capable of as you go into the new year and take on new ventures and try new things.  Remember, the best is yet to come for you!

Reflections…

As I ponder on 2010 and think about what I have done, what
I attempted to and what I just didn’t make time to do, I am still
thankful to still be alive and take in every learning experience
that life brought my way. I came across an email dated May
2008 with me reaching out to someone regarding the pursuit of my
speaking business and realized that I am not where I thought I
would be at this time of my life. Have you ever looked at your life
and your current situation and said “I thought I would be so much
farther along?” Did you think of yourself as a failure or a slacker
or just not good enough? Did you just shun it off and not
take any thought as to what it would take in order to make it
happen? Did you make excuses for yourself and say you didn’t have
the time or resources or right connections to make it work?
Well I am here to tell you that all of those thoughts came to
mind when I thought about how I had all of these goals and some of
them came to fruition but there were other goals and aspirations
that I made excuses for. I let other people distract me from
my goals and my ultimate purpose and destiny. You see I have
been speaking for some time but had been given specific
instructions on what I needed to do to expand my business and for
lack of a better phrase, I ‘punked out.’ Why? I don’t know.
Maybe it was fear, maybe laziness, maybe listening to other
people or a combination of all of the above plus a number of other
factors. Well I woke up this morning with a FOCUS in my mind and
heart to do what I needed to do to accomplish those goals that I
made excuses for. You see every situation you go through is
what you make it. Life, your marriage, school, your job, your
mental state, whatever it is, IS what YOU make it. Do you
make it out to be bigger than it really is or do you make it to be
something you can and will overcome? I decided this morning
that I wasn’t going to let anything, not even myself get in the way
of what I know I have been put on this earth to do. That is,
SPEAK LIFE into the lives of youth and those who are connected with
them. Many times the experience of life knocks us down and
we think we aren’t supposed to get back up. I challenge you
to fall down, get back up and re-position yourself so that when you
get knocked again (and you will) it’s not from that angle.
There is a saying that says it’s okay to make mistakes so
long as you don’t keep making the same mistakes over again.
Therefore, make mistakes and have mishaps but learn from them
and build yourself from those experiences. As you learn,
share your experiences with others who may be able to learn
something from you. So as I move forward into 2011, my life will be
extremely different a year from now. I am walking into 2011
with purpose, passion and the power to change not only my situation
but my life for the better. Don’t get me wrong, my life isn’t
horrible and I do understand there are others in worse off
situations, but I know that there is still work for me to do.
I plan to live the best life that God has prepared for me….
how about you? If you are with me, here are a few suggestions
to help you get started…

  1. Take some time to
    reflect on your year. That’s it….JUST REFLECT. Take
    it in and think about what you were able to get done, what didn’t
    get done, and what you may want to change in 2011. Think
    about the people you have in your life. Are they for you or
    against you? It is said that birds of a feather flock
    together. If you are an eagle you can’t hang around with
    chickens and turkeys. If you know you need to change the
    people around you, then you will need to starting building a new
    network in the new year. Those who will cheer you on,
    challenge you to be your best self and push you into your next
    level.
  2. After reflecting on your year, write
    down 3-5 major goals you want to accomplish in 2011. Then
    write down what it will take from YOU to make it happen. What
    role will you play in making your goals happen? What
    obstacles might you encounter during your journey and how you will
    address them as well as get through them. Other than
    yourself, who else’s buy-in will you need to make it happen? For
    example if you are married or have children, what type of
    sacrifices will you need to make that may affect your spouse and/or
    children? How will communicate your goals with them and get them
    involved to help you stay on track?
  3. You can
    then make a vision board to put your goals on and keep in a place
    that you can see everyday to keep you motivated and excited about
    your goals. Take pictures from magazines, clip art, or just
    create words that signify where you desire to be at the end of
    2011. You can purchase poster board or a bulletin board.
    Either way, just get started and add to it as more goals and
    aspirations come to you.
  4. Lastly, how will you
    track your progress? Will do weekly, monthly, bi-monthly,
    etc. assessments to make sure you are on track with accomplishing
    your goals as scheduled? Will you have an accountability
    partner or mentor/coach holding you accountable?

I hope these suggestions help and I look forward to
helping you live life IN purpose and ON purpose in 2011! Until next
time… BE TRUE and SPEAK LIFE!
