Welcome to the new subscribers. I am always amazed and honored that you saw something in the posts to encourage you to ask for more.
I am in the middle of a lot of changes. One of them is a new site.
A friend from Hawaii and I were very excited to launch www.supersuccessfulkids.com last week to start a community dedicated to helping our kids define what success is for them and then help them achieve it. (more…)
There are two ways to get to an end result. Only two.
One is to be pulled toward the result. The other is to be pushed toward the result.
Most people push themselves or are pushed by others. A few are pulled.
Which of these two ways do you think makes for a better, easier to achieve result? Why?
If there is something you want to do, and you want to do it with all your heart, how hard is it for you to overcome procrastination, fear and challenges to reach that goal?
On the other hand, if you really do not care whether you get there or not, or worse if you are striving for someone else’s goal, how hard is it to overcome procrastination, fear and challenges?
What makes the difference?
Owning a vision of the future is crucial to success whether in business or personal growth.
If you have a vision nothing will stand in your way. You will not want to stop at the end of the day, and you will want to get after it as soon as you can in the morning. Procrastination,which is the most damaging of all afflictions is laid to waste, fear falls by the wayside and challenges melt like butter!
Find a vision.
At the least, find a short term vision and work on that until the longer term becomes obvious. Work with a partner or a coach to define your vision.
It can and must be done.

Well, for me anyway happiness is a great ski day! Last week we took our planned mini vacation during the week.
It turned out to be a great couple of days to get away and get refreshed and spend time with family and friends.
Several things apply here in regards to happiness.
First, if we had not planned this trip during our annual planning session in January, we probably would not have gone. Somehow stuff always seems to come up right when you want to leave. If we had not booked the room, and cleared our calendars far in advance, it is very possible I would not be writing this post.
Is happiness planned? (more…)
When we talk about BeDoHave and how following the formula will help you create the life you want, too many folks would like to believe creating is a passive verb.
Many would be upset if their lives have not changed by week two. After all have they not been meditating? Have they not been writing their wish lists on paper? Why hasn’t the Universe brought them everything they want like lots of money?
You and I know this is not the way it works!
To Have what you want (or need for that matter) the Universe works when you do. There is another crucial element in that the more specific you are in communicating your wants and dreams to the Universe the better an anwer you will receive.
That will bring us back to practical steps, like budgets and planning.
In our family we have completed our tax preparations and they are in the hands of the accountant. The budgets are completed for 2007 based on 2006 numbers plus the changes we want and expect. We have filled in our calendar for the year as much as possible including three vacations to different places we want to go.
We are in continuing discussions to create the life we will be living in one year, three years, five years.
If we don’t set the desired end destination now, how do we know what course to steer? We don’t.
Some would say such planning takes the fun out of the journey.
I disagree. I would much rather have planned for something I want to do, be working toward that end, and ask the Universe to help provide that result or something better. In that way we can always make changes in the direction opportunities bring to us.
The key is to be moving forward all the time. To have a vision of an outcome might be one of the most important tasks we can do for ourselves.
Once you have a vision, set a plan for obtaining it, set measurements or benchmarks so you know you are getting there, and reward yourself for your achievements!
Don’t forget that once you set all this in motion the Universe has no choice but to help you achieve it.
How cool is that?
Till next time,
Don’t worry, be happy!

Life is a Yume! (That’s Dream in Japanese!)
We decided a long time ago it was infinitely better for us to be doing what we love doing all the time and working when we can.
