Try not to become a man of success but a man of value. -Albert Einstein   It is said that the secret to success is in helping others succeed. The more you help people get what they want, the more you get what you want in return. Often times I don’t think we realize our [...]

  “If we can paint a vivid enough picture in our mind and we connect it with intense emotion it becomes REALITY.”   Have you ever told yourself the same story of defeat over and over again? The story of why you can’t make more money, find the right partner, travel the globe or start [...]

Few things are more freeing than forgiveness.-Keri Murphy   In coaching and training people from all over the world there seems to be a thread that binds many of us, both together and from achieving success; that is anger, blame, or guilt. Only after digging deep into personal development did I realize how I too [...]

Tell me if you’ve ever been guilty of this. I confess… I have once or twice. You go out and buy something expensive, not because you needed it or really even wanted it that much, but because it made you feel important or even powerful. Perhaps it was a little retail therapy of sorts. Or [...]

When we’re young (and reckless perhaps!) health is easily taken for granted. It’s almost impossible to wrap your head around the fact that the choices you make will have a consequence on your health, perhaps tomorrow or later in life. I know that in my circle of friends, many of us are reaching a point [...]

“Don’t hold to anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy and keep you from love.”  ~ Leo Buscaglia     At Inspired Living, we talk a lot about discerning your passion and pursuing without regret. But sometimes there are forces that hold us back; it could be the judgments of friends and family or [...]

Carpe Diem! Seize the Day!   We have all heard it a million times, but I attest it is NOT cliché! So why is it that so few of us actually do seize the day?   Perhaps this sounds familiar:   “I wish I could but…” “There’s a better time, a different season, when things [...]

Don’t aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally. – David Frost This sounds easy enough, doesn’t it? Then why is it that so many of us are NOT doing what we love? Why do we settle for a paycheck when we could [...]

2012 is off to a great start! I feel invigorated by my clients, friends and family that are making amazing strides in their lives. And what do these successful people have in common? A positive support system, or as I like to call it, a Dream Team! We touched on this in last week’s newsletter [...]

It might only be January 2nd, but you can toss that resolution out the door. That’s right. I (the goal-setting guru) just gave you license to free yourself from your New Year’s resolutions, in 2012 and forever…because resolutions don’t work. How many times have you failed at your resolution and then wallowed in guilt over [...]

In this last week of 2011, I can’t help but reflect on the past year and be filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. It was year of personal growth and powerful movement towards fulfilling my dreams and goals. But I’d be kidding myself if I thought it all went according to MY plan. On [...]

I can not believe it is already that time of year again, so let me say…Happy Holidays! There is something so special about this time of year. I am blessed to have so many incredible childhood memories of sitting around the Thanksgiving table, surrounded by people I love, sharing what we are grateful for. It [...]

“We can all reprogram our brain’s responses by putting ourselves into new, initially uncomfortable situations.
