How many times have you set a goal for yourself
that you are excited about, and then, within a
very short time you get sidetracked and stop
doing the things you know you need to do?

Why does this happen?

Are you lazy? Do you lack discipline?

No, I don’t think it is either of these.
I believe it is your beliefs about letting
yourself really live – really succeed that
hold you back!

What I know to be true is, God did not create
you for mediocrity. He has not called us to
live ordinary lives. He wants you to live
extraordinary lives!

This means “out of or beyond common or normal”.
You were born to prosper. You were born to
create a big, bold outrageous life. You were
born to be blessed and to be a blessing to others.

inside of you and rise above mediocrity,

Richest blessings,

So we’ve been talking about Core Habits of the successful. In the last post I shared the importance of RICH thoughts, beliefs and words.

Today’s message is about ACTIONS.

Successful people have rich actions.

Two months ago I went to Nordstrom with my daughter Auriana. We walk into the coffee shop and I lay eyes on the most amazing peanut butter and chocolate dessert. I’m salivating as I suggest to Auriana that we treat ourselves and split it. When she turns me down I reluctantly order just a coffee and reject the tempting dessert.

A few minutes later a gentleman in his late 70′s walks over to our table. ‘I could tell how much you wanted this,’ he says as he places the peanut butter and chocolate delicacy in front of me. ‘Let me treat you today.’

That dessert only cost the man a few dollars. But the impact it made on both Auriana and myself was profound.

Several months later, Auriana is in the mall with her cousin and a friend. They decide to have lunch in the food court. When it was time to pay for their order, Auriana pulls out her money and announces she wants to treat them all to lunch!

On the same day I’m at a convention in New Orleans. I’m in a long line at Starbucks waiting to order my cappuccino when the lady behind me strikes up a conversation. The next thing I know we are sharing stories of our lives and laughing together like we are long lost friends. When it is finally my turn to order, I tell the guy behind the counter to put this lady’s cappuccino on my bill. You would have thought I bought this woman a convertible Jaguar!

You know what? That cappuccino only cost me three dollars and fifty cents. The lunch only cost Auriana six dollars. The dessert only cost the man a couple of bucks. What a small price to pay for the rich feeling that these actions produce.

Are your actions rich?

When you have prosperous thoughts, steeped in sound belief, when you utilize an abundance of bold, rich words, and you make it a habit to carry out fruitful actions, your life is very rich indeed.

Think. Believe. Speak. Act.

What can you do today to make these four habits of success your own?

To your success!

We’ve been talking about my 4-Step System to Achieve Your Goals. Step #1: Know What You REALLY Want. Step #2: Craft a Compelling Vision, Intentions, Mantras and Meditate on them NOW.

And when you do those first 2 Steps, you activate a whole new realm. You’ve placed the “destination” into your GPS (Your Brain) and it has calculated your journey and will give you the first action step to take. Your part is to ACT!

Step #3: Obey Inspired Action! Act on the step you are told to take NOW.

When I set my specific goal of “Creating Mastermind Retreats”, my inspired action was to book a flight to Paris, France and spend 3 days there planning, reserving and creating the Retreat. And that is what I did ~ immediately!

The quicker you ‘obey’ inspired action, the faster you’ll receive the next step in your journey. “Boldness Gets Rewarded!”

Something amazing happens when you ‘obey the inspired action’ and ACT. And that something is your self-view will shift. You’ll begin seeing yourself as a person of action; A person who’s the ‘real deal’; A person who wins! And that is powerful!

You can never out-perform your Self-View! How you see yourself (or think of yourself) is in direct proportion to your “Success Level”. Your Self-View either keeps you small or it rockets you to bold, new levels! So, that begs the question, “How do you enhance your Self-View?”

First, never identify yourself with your circumstances. You are NOT your circumstances. You are not bankruptcy or foreclosure or struggle. Those are just circumstances to be ‘handled and dealt with’. You are not your circumstances.

Who you are is PURE Possibility! Infinite Wisdom! Divine Inspiration! That’s who you REALLY are.

I’m reading the book, “The Brain That Changes Itself,” by Norman Doidge, M.D. In the chapter on over- coming OCD, research is documented that one of the steps to rewiring the brain and breaking through is to separate yourself from the symptoms. Never collapse the two. In other words the OCD person should say, “This is the OCD talking, not me. I always say to my mom who has arthritis, never call it ‘my’ arthritis, call it, ‘the’ arthritis.

And so it is with you! Do not collapse YOU with your circumstances. They are separate! You are not your circumstances. Who you REALLY are is a Spiritual and Physical Being with an incredible mind, heart and Spirit. BE Unreasonable with Yourself! Be Bold! Do something Wild and Whimsical TODAY and you will begin to shift your self-view. And that, my friend will open up a whole new level of living for you!

ACT on your Inspired Action NOW!

Tomorrow, we’ll pick it up with Step #4.

Always Creating,

The most powerful force in the entire world is LOVE.

When you bring LOVE, PASSION and ENERGY to a project, a client, a prospect, a child, a relationship, you meet with success. Every time.

LOVE always wins…

You’ve seen it, a person who is ‘on fire’ about an idea, a project, a client and all of a sudden it looks like they are lucky, talented and skilled.

You’ve witnessed a parent who takes a stand for their child and loves them into a healing of their body, heart or mind.
And suddenly, it looks like they got lucky, talented and skilled in their parenting.

You’ve heard of relationships that broke through to new levels of love and commitment…

While luck, talent and skill are needed, they are not the most important aspect to creating success in business and in life. It’s always LOVE.

LOVE is the most powerful force on the planet.

But, what about the times when you don’t feel like you made a difference?

What about when a prospect says no; or a client goes to a competitor; or a distributor quits. What about the time when you get fired, dumped or rejected.

Then what?

In 2001, after leaving the church I was raised in, one of my relatives told me I was damning myself to hell.

In 2002, after signing a consulting contract with a Network Marketing company, I got fired. The company said I was not congruent with their mission.

In 2003, after an 18 year marriage, my former husband said he wanted to be single.

in 2005, after investing most of my savings into real-estate investments, 3 of the 5 properties were foreclosed and sold in a short sale.

Then what?

What I can share with you is this: It was from those circumstances that I was given a miraculous opportunity to access the most important, the most powerful aspect of LOVE…
And that is, “Self-Love”.

THE MOST POWERFUL TRANSFORMATION YOU CAN CAUSE IN THE WORLD IS “SELF-lOVE”.

In Scripture it says, “Forgive.” But, how can someone forgive when they have no self-love to draw from? Another amazing verse says, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” But, how can someone love their neighbor if they have even one ounce of self-loathing?

Forgiveness begins with Self-Love.
Happiness starts with Self-Love.
Service and true transformation begins with Self-Love.
True confidence and power comes from Self-Love.

And “Self-Love” is a DECISION.

That was the DECISION I got to make when faced with my family, career, marital and financial “failure”.

What about you?

What circumstance, rejection or failure are you STILL HOLDING on to?

The MIND makes things up. The MIND makes up that if a ‘bad’ circumstance happens, then life is bad (or you are bad). The MIND makes up that if it has a moment of happiness, life is good and you are good.

We are SO flippin attached to circumstances!

And, it’s all crap!

Self-Love is NOT tied to circumstances.
It is NOT tied to other people’s opinions.
Self-Love is not tied to your accomplishments.

Self-Love is a DECISION…

A DECISION to Honor the Creation called “You” just because “You” exist.

There is nothing you have to do or become to have God’s Love.
So, why not DECIDE to Believe that… And let go of ‘proving yourself’, ‘being right’, or your insatiable need to attach who you are to circumstances, achievements or other people’s approval…

What if you decided that ‘everything that happens to you is NOT YOU!’

And who you REALLY are is Pure Possibility!

Now, on that foundation, what would your life look like? What could you create? What contribution would you be?

WOW! The possibilities are endless. That’s the world I want to live in.

And that IS the world I live in today…

I have an amazing career that fulfills me and lights me up! I get to travel the world sharing my message with incredible entrepreneurs. Through my books, speaking and Mastermind Retreats I get to be a powerful space for people to
create ‘their best life’…

I experience profound relationships with my children who are independent, happy, whole and complete. They teach me so much and make me laugh all the time…

I have a good relationship with my former husband, his wife and their baby…

I enjoy a delicious relationship with the man of my dreams, who loves me more than I ever dreamed possible. We enjoy stimulating conversations, side-splitting laughter, and continuous moments of romance, connection and love…

I’m reinventing my financial portfolio and have several exciting projects we’re participating in…

And, all of this was created from the foundation of “Self-Love”.
If I lost it all today, I know I’d be okay. Because circumstances, other people, failure or even success, do not define me.

I Am pure possibility! I Am completely loved by the One Who Created Me. And that’s enough for me!

What about you?

To your Transformation,
