From Brainstorms to Milestones - 5 Tips to Turn Creative Visions into Reality

We've all been at points in our lives where we've had an incredible brainstorm...and just like the storms on the horizon -- they blow into our lives and right back into the abyss. We seem to misread or ignore the signs of opportunity and let them pass away with the wind.  Opportunities appear in our lives all the time, but it is our responsibility to stay in tune with our intuitive abilities and become our own best intuitive expert.  Instead of grabbing the sails and flowing with the currents that nature gives us, we choose to circumvent the atmospheric conditions; retreating to our "safe haven." We tend to be most comfortable with what is familiar to us rather than break through the barriers and work towards reaching our highest potential.   Sometimes, we must rediscover the pulse of energetic lightening provided by the Universal flow of energy and get into the rhythm of its magnetic and powerful force of inspiration. We are capable of reaching our highest potential as long as we are willing to do the work to get us to that level of visualization and creative imagination. Below are five tips on how to turn your creative visions into reality:

 1.  Electromagnetism. When you get a sudden brainstorm, close your eyes and let your intuition take flight.  Don't let your creative thought processes evaporate into thin air.  Scientifically speaking, it's a matter of electromagnetism.  When your life force, or life energy is in the presence and motion of positively charged energy (or creative brainstorming), it is affected by that energetic force. This inspires and enables you to change your pace and create the vision you want in your life. Another way to look at this remarkable energy force is through the metaphorical eye of a compass needle.  Imagine that you are that compass needle.  When the current from an energy source is switched on (your intuition), you (or the compass needle) discover that magnetic fields will radiate from all side of you.  You become the pulse of the current; which allows energy to pass through you, into you, and all around you.  If you harness the power of positive Universal flow of energy, envision the positive relationship that you will have in the world around you. For just a moment, let scientific reasoning be your mentor by following these logical clues to achieving greatness in your life.  Then you are truly on the path to reaching your highest potential.

 2. Become your own intuitive expert! Practice using your intuition!  Okay, I told you to let your intuition take flight...now you must put your intuitive soul into action for you.  You know that electromagnetism is part of the science of the Universal flow of energy -- now you must facilitate it to your best advantage.  When your creative juices begin to flow, you know that you are on the right track.  Stay ON track!  Don't slip from the rails because of fear or lack of self-confidence.  You have all the mental tools at your disposal to turn your normal life into an extraordinary life. That’s why it is so important to stay true to yourself and be willing to open your mind to the potential that surrounds you.  By tapping into your intuition, you are creating an infinite gateway of positive thoughts and energy flow.  The combination of the Universal flow of energy with your intuition is the key to manifesting the reality you want to have in life.  It’s not rocket science to believe that if you can dream it, you can achieve it.  Remember, nothing is impossible – only the impossibilities that we create in our own minds.  Isn’t it time you let your conscience be your guide? Go with your gut feeling and supersede all your expectations.  It will happen.

 3. Self-discipline.  It's sometimes hard to become and stay motivated, but in order to turn your creative visions into reality, you must have self-discipline.  This is the essential key to make your life an extraordinary life.  You already have the forces of the Universal flow of energy working for you.  You know that you can grab the sails and let your intuition be your guide -- the rest of your journey depends on how much you want to turn your visions into reality.  If your ideal lifestyle is comprised of a nice two-story home, a family, and a job you love -- than you must have self-discipline to achieve your goals.  If you don’t have the self-discipline to get up to go to work in the morning, you won’t be able to pay the rent or mortgage.  The same principle applies to all areas of your life; which includes your mind, body, and spirit. There has to be a level of self-discipline to overcome any imbalances – including emotional baggage and blockages.  The more you stick with your strategic plan for success; chances are that you will bring your goals to fruition.  That means you must discipline yourself by calming your spirit, being good to your physical body, and taking control of your thoughts and what you project to the outside world.  You are an integral part of this Universe – the more you begin to realize the value of your life and the interconnection you have with the world around you and the energetic flow of the Universe, the better equipped you are mentally, spiritually, and emotionally to generate the milestones you need to turn your creative visions into reality.

 4. Strategic Visioning.  I know -- I told you about creative visions, but now it's time to turn your creative visions into strategic visions.  That means you have to plan for success and turn your brainstorms into milestones.  Accomplish your goals by blueprinting your life map for extraordinary achievement. But before you can do this, you must have a strategic plan for your strategic vision.  This is your ultimate pathway to power; and implementation is part of the end result.  You must take action to achieve your goals.  As your own intuitive expert, this begins by accessing your intuitive wisdom and imagining all the positive things you'd like to acquire in life. When you meditate on your positive ideas and images, you can dramatically affect your electromagnetism to start drawing those things that you want toward you. The more you practice strategic visioning (focused meditation), the more you want it...the more you can taste it...the closer you get to accomplishing your dreams.  Remember, you are accountable for the commitments that you make; and through consistent action, you become the leader of your life and your future.

 5. Awakening your prospects.  Now that you've overcome your fears and lack of self-discipline to turn your creative visions into reality, you must awaken your prospects by exploring the positive environment that you have created for yourself.  You are now prepared to fish your prospects and take the appropriate action to reel in your treasure. No longer are you bound by mental hang-ups, and you have the clarity to see opportunities that surround you.  Tap into your intuitive powers and make a concerted effort to walk through the doors that are open to you.  Get your brainstorms moving by becoming proactive in your life. Failure and lack are consequences of your own actions or inactions.  Your mind is a powerful instrument that you can facilitate to create and manifest the outcome you desire…so get going! After all, life isn't life if you're not living it to the fullest extent. 

 When you procrastinate and stay stuck in the same situation, it becomes harder to climb the ladder of success. The milestones you can achieve in life are created by the opportunities that you create for yourself.  That's what electromagnetism is all about -- creating an environment of opportunity by being effectively positive, procreative, and extraordinary in everything you think, say, or do.  Brainstorming and creative visioning can help you to manifest your big life dreams.  Why wait to enjoy your life, when you can start the pathway to success now?  Increase your wealth, live your life’s dreams, become healthy, get connected to greater prosperity, and finally – celebrate the life you were intended to lead.  Turn your milestones into momentum and speed that will dramatically and positively change your life.

Striking Out? Bat a Successful Homerun in Life

If you’ve honestly tried to reach your goals in life and have failed, then you need to take a long look at the game plan you’ve been using. Sometimes you have to adjust your footing so you can gain better traction in where you are right now and where you want to lead your life.

Nobody wants to strike out when it’s their turn to bat.  That’s why you must challenge yourself to strive to do better, achieve more, and transform your lifestyle. When you review your game plan, you should use your essential tools for living to get a firm grip on your metaphorical batting range. In addition, you have to take an extensive look at how far you are willing to run in order to achieve your heart’s desires. Just know it take work to reach your highest potential in life.

There are a few key areas in your life on which you have to focus in order to prepare yourself to hit your homerun to success. Following is a powerful guideline to transform your life into the lifestyle that you desire and fulfill your life’s dreams.  Coach yourself to your success.

Re-define Your Strengths

Many times, we beat ourselves up to the point that we forget the inner strength we possess, and what vital life tools we have at our disposal. You have to retreat within as you coach yourself and redefine your frame of mind so you can really get to the root basis of what’s causing you to strike out when you’re on home plate.

You know that you can achieve your goals because you can taste the victory that awaits you. The drawback is that every time you’re up to bat, you get ousted by the umpire because you haven’t been quite able to hit the pitch out of the ballpark. But let’s level the playing field – you already possess the physical stamina to meet life demands; so, you know that you are essentially equipped to get where you need to be going.  What you must do now is realign your mind, body, and spirit so these vital senses can work together to create an extraordinary lifestyle for yourself. 

Some of the inner strengths that individuals have include inner wisdom (or intuition), a blueprint for living, and the mental ability to transform life. The external forces that safeguard our lives are the Universal flow of energy and our God source. Talking in baseball terms in relation to life, the umpire calls the shots with regard to which plays are actually scored.  Whether it’s a foul ball, an out, or a homerun, the umpire is the source that lets you know where you stand in the game of life. Let’s suppose that the umpire is the Universal flow of energy. When you’re at a point in your life where you’ve been jolted by your own blunders, it’s because the metaphorical umpire is calling you on them. 

As mentioned earlier, when you balance your mind, body, and spirit, and begin working with the Universal flow of energy, you are steps closer to realizing your life dreams.

Go ahead and reward yourself by taking the initiative to get a unique perspective on how to reach your goals.  Sometimes, we have to take a step back and view life through a fresh pair of eyes and at a new angle. Next, let’s review your blueprint for living.  Within the soul being of each one of us, exists an in-depth map to fulfilling life purpose. When you look beyond your physical capabilities, trends, and hurdles; you need to ask your higher self what steps are necessary to achieve success.  Maybe this is the time to become your own best life coach? A growing number of people use meditation, which is a powerful mind tool toward channeling inner wisdom for greater purpose. Your God source is also a fundamental supply that can lend support to you in your efforts.  That’s why a lot of individuals frequently turn to prayer for guidance, direction, and insight.  By facilitating these intuitive mental tools, you are well on your way toward hitting a homerun and receiving life’s blessings.

Become the Leader of your Life

Okay, you’ve made it to home plate again and you’re ready to take charge of your life.  Like every clever team player, you pay attention to the signals that the pitcher (or your God source) is sending.  Also, in consideration are the elements of your environment – the stadium, the crowd, the score, the turf, and who’s on base.  Again, you have to level the playing field to your best advantage. You know the pros of the situation, and you’ve considered all your options.  Do you walk the ball, take a pitch hit, or do you knock it out of the ballpark?  Remember, you are the leader of your life and the leader of your destiny – what you do with your tools for success is equally as essential as fulfilling your life destiny. As a powerful life coach for your life you have to make a strategic plan to counterbalance any negative aspects that appear.  If you seriously want to reach your highest potential, you need to think, plan, and keep your eye on the ball.  Whatever you do, always focus on your goals. When you decide that you are in control of your life and you are ready to manifest success, not only will you score one for the team, but victory will follow you wherever you go.

Mission Impossible

Do you feel like every time you turn around, you are facing mission impossible? Nothing you do is working out the way you want it. You appear to be running in circles and you keep having the same situations come up in your life. Does that sound like you? You want to manifest for your life your heart’s desire and reach your highest potential but everything fizzles. Perhaps you have become your worst own enemy.

 Whether you realize it or not, your actions, behaviors and perception may be hindering your progress in life. When your daily routine becomes mission impossible, you need to rethink and recreate your current lifestyle. “But I don’t do anything differently than other people,” you say? Well, let’s take a look at where you are and the issues you are encountering:

•  Is your loved one making you feel miserable?

•  Do you see yourself in a dead-end job?

•  Are you a hoarder, holding onto way too much clutter in your home?

•  Are you afraid to move forward with your goals?

•  Are you still trying to live in the past?

•  Have you lost track of who you are?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then you might just be creating your own mission impossible in life. In order to become whole and happy, you must focus on what is attainable and what makes you feel truly alive. If your relationships with work, your significant other, your health or your friendships are putting a strain on your emotional, mental or physical wellbeing then it is time to reshape your perception on what is working and what is not. It’s time to be your own life coach and make some positive changes that will help you get back on track and manifest for your life once again.

 How do you become your own life coach you ask? If you, yourself, are experiencing emotional barriers that prevent you from being happy and healthy, then you must discover what those emotional blockages are so that you can face them, release them and head them off at the pass.  Your missions in life do not have to become fearful and tedious. Only you have the innate control to overcome any misconceptions or trepidation that you may have in achieving success and true happiness. There is an old affirmation that many individuals use to help maneuver life’s sometimes murky trails: “Please grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.”  Say these words often until you own them for yourself.  In order to reach your highest potential in life you need to shift your thoughts, words and action.

Should you ever feel like your life has taken you on seemingly impossible missions, I want you to stop whatever it is you are doing and take a long, deep breath and re-focus. Talk to yourself, coach yourself and say the affirmation above often. Lose yourself to the Universal flow of energy and allow that energy to strengthen you and fill you with much need wisdom and encouragement. All things will be revealed to you when you are ready to receive them; that is how you will manifest in your life. What was once your impossible mission will transform into the blessings and opportunities that you have been missing all along.

Then you will truly smile as you begin to realize that what was once only a dream has truly become your reality!

Bad things happen -because the world is imperfect

Bad things happen -because the world is imperfect

  Oh!  Don’t get me wrong---we are all born perfect in the eyes of our Creator, but it is us humans who believe that we are imperfect so guess what--We self-prophesize and become imperfect.  It is as simple as that!  I have written about this topic in my book: “Hello—Is Anybody Listening?” 

 People always ask why bad things happen and does it come from God.  My answer to you is ‘No’ it does not come from God, but bad things do happen because that is part of our living experiences.  Just like there is light and darkness in the world, so too there is happiness and sadness, pain and joy, love and hate and bad things and good things.  It is the Yin and Yang of the world – the two sides of the coin.  Just think about it a moment—how would you know the difference between these words and feelings if you did not experience them, for they each represent the different aspect of life.  It is within your power to manifest in your life all that you desire when you coach yourself to believe that truth and then take some positive action to bring it about!  If you believe it is impossible then it will be exactly what you believe. 

We possess great power within us and that is precisely the reason that I continually coach you to coach yourself to aspire towards your greatness. That is when you will begin to understand that you indeed have the ability to reach your highest potential!

 We all have our problems and difficult moments in life but what sets us apart is the way we handle them and move through those difficult times.  Like I say so often—we all have choices to make daily.  We can choose to follow our heart and live life to the fullest of our potentiality or we can choose to get caught up in the drama of life and allow that drama to dictate the way our lives unfold.  Every day I coach myself to think positive and maintain those thoughts that will help me manifest in my life my highest potential.

 I have learned a long time ago to become more of an observer of life and less of a participant.  By that I mean that it is not my right to be judgmental or critical of others or their choices, I need to respect the choices of others.  When I continually focus on the circumstances or dramas of other’s, I am simply depleting my energy and as a result, I am blocking my forward movement.  I have grown to realize and understand that it is far better for me to observe the behavior of others and choose wisely for myself—that is, make choices that would serve me for my highest and best good in the highest and best way.  My actions or choices do not stop me from giving aid, support or encouragement to others; it simply stops me from taking on their issues or situations as my own. 

  Another valuable point to consider is where do you place your focus on a regular basis?  If you are continually giving energy to the hurt and pain, the gossip or the misfortune that just occurred, you are once again depleting your energy and setting yourself up for negativity to follow.  If, on the other hand, you consciously made a decision to keep your focus on the positive side of life where possibilities abound, you are opening the door not only to your heart but to the Universe to bring to you what you have been wanting and needing.  That is what coaching yourself is all about!  When you are better able to look past the critics and gossipers of the world and maintain a steady focus on what and who you are, you are becoming your own life coach and that is the true definition of self-empowerment!

 Bad things don’t just happen.  They start out as small, little hang-ups or short-comings that grow and fester and become big, bad experiences.  Each one of us has the ability to change our outcomes and beliefs because we are all, each one of us, children of a greater Source who can change anything if we believe.  To live a life of awareness requires you to be grounded and centered in your purpose and function and then to stay alert and focused so that you can and will reach your highest potential.

 I have grown to understand that in all experiences and encounters in life, there is a lesson to be learned.  That is why I have taken the time to learn different life skills that can and will allow me to cope and continue with my journey knowing that with time, everything will improve, and I will find a way to keep moving forward. I choose to manifest in my life, my highest potential, and I sincerely hope you have the same goals? I encourage you to learn to cope with your situations so if something gets you down, it won’t keep you down. 

 Know that you always have choices and that no matter what happens, God and his Angels are constantly with you, supporting you, encouraging you and guiding your way.  They want you to manifest for your life! Getting angry and frustrated never solves anything but if you can learn to breathe deeply and release your problems to God, God will show you the way.

Self-mastery is a marvelous idea

Do you feel stuck? Is your temper out of control?  Are you a person who lacks self-control or maybe even sufficient determination to stick to a plan?

Self-mastery is a great idea; however, if you lack the ability to control your emotions as you give into your whims, then you need to develop some valuable life skills to help keep you on track. In order to take control of that part of your nature that you want to feed, you need to understand that self-mastery begins with awareness.  When I feel stuck or unwilling to take control of a situation, I call in my specific Power Angel to help coach me, so I can reach my highest potential.   Do you like to feed the negative vices; thoughts and feelings that have controlled your life or do you choose to feed the positive, good-natured aspect of you that wants to find strategies that will build up your best character traits?  You have the power within you to become your own life coach and continually do what is needed for you to reach your highest potential.  I pray for courage, strength and wisdom on a daily basis because I know it is so easy to slide back in to my old habits and patterns.  If you are anything like me, I encourage you to not get disheartened or think about quitting.  Ask for special grace and blessing to help you keep going. My Power Angels are my best friends.   I trust them and know they are looking out for my wellbeing and I connect with them frequently.

Each one of us have been born with a handicap but at the same time each one of us has also been born with a special and unique talent and ability to help us master our lives.  

Ask yourself this question:  Am I okay with where I am right now, or do I want to experience my greatness and a life of becoming amazing?   What brings you joy each day?  Seek out a life that makes you want to get out of bed in the morning to tackle a new day.  Continually talk to yourself.  You can be the best life coach to yourself if and when you make the time and commitment to strengthen your good qualities and work towards taking a different path that will help you reach your highest potential.

Beware of good intentions!  We, too often, have good intentions about doing things that are right but we fall short of putting them into action.  It is time for you to train yourself to be disciplined to reach your highest potential.  One way to help you achieve self-discipline is by creating new habits.  Become your own life coach and talk to your body, mind and spirit on a regular basis.  With self-discipline, you can become your best in all aspects of your life.  Never underestimate the resourcefulness of your Power Angels.  Each angel sent to Earth, has a special gift or ability to help us hone in on our own personal traits.  All you need to do is call them into your life and they will show you the way.  

Too often our bodies want to give up when the going gets tough.  It is your responsibility to stay strong, fight back as you get back up and get ready to reach your highest potential.  Recognize your good qualities and praise yourself.  When you encourage and give yourself a pat on the back, you are actually coaching yourself to acknowledge your finer points.  Maybe it is time for you to reflect on your life and examine the many ways you have grown and changed.  Wisdom can be found in the strangest places!

Can People be Fooled?

The question is:  “Can people be fooled?”  The answer is of course they can, especially when people are out of touch with reality!  We, too, often only hear what we want to hear.  We ignore the messages that we are not interested in and we definitely ignore the messages that might possibly offer solutions.  Why you might ask?  Probable because we are not focused, in balance, and therefore, we are not able to empower ourselves to be fully alert and aware.

Do you know that we are animals of complacency and we are also people who, too often, have blinders on, which means that we do not want to hear the messages that we believe do not serve our beliefs and/or our needs?  We can be definitely stuck in our ways and are slow to change even when shown a better way.  Does any of this relate to you?

So what are you supposed to do to change that circus like atmosphere that tells us to laugh and sneer at those who oppose our stereotypes--our pre-judgmental philosophies that ridicule and abuse as though respect and self-respect have no place in our societies.  It would greatly serve you and your life better so that you can reach your highest potential if you willingly made the time to empower yourself to be the best that you can be in the best possible way. 

For example, I have a fear and stand-off approach to people with tattoos and piercings without well-grounded reasoning or understanding.  I stand away from those who do not match my energy or physical appearance and still I preach empathy and compassion.  I must admit that I work diligently at trying to understand and accept those who appear different from me, yet I remember the words of Jesus that said: “Judge not if you do not want to be judged.  For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. ” and again. You hypocrite first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye."

So I can say to you with compassion and hopefully understanding that I agree it is sometimes difficult to reach out my hand in a gesture of kindness and acceptance.  It may be an unending struggle as I try to figure it out for myself yet one thing I can sincerely say:  “We are all children of the same one God and if one of my fellow friends and neighbors look or act or think differently from me, I now know that it is my responsibility to turn the other check, so to speak, and welcome them into my heart and soul.”

 I encourage you not to wait till you are face to face with your last judgment.  We actually have the opportunity to release judgment daily and simply accept others for how they choose to be seen and appreciated.  It doesn’t matter whether it is a homeless person, a doctor or a hip young person with tattoos.  Each one of us believes that we are expressing ourselves for our highest and best good so that we can reach our highest potential and empower ourselves at the same time. 

 It is time for us to strip off the labels and our judgment glasses and allow each individual to be appreciated in the light that they themselves believe serves their best interests and enables them to be their authentic self.  Maybe it is time to release the old stereo types that have been enslaving you and your thought process and open your heart and mind to accept others for who they are and for what they believe they need to be appreciated for; because in truth, each one of us see ourselves differently than the world perceives us.  I do believe that each one of us deserves to reach our highest potential and as we do, we will most definitely be empowering ourselves for our highest and best good and highest and best way.

Are you willing to put the effort forth?

Accountability and confidence are invaluable attributes to help anyone move in the positive direction towards success.  When you invoke and understand these 2 attributes, you just might make magic happen as you strive to transform your life and reach your highest potential.  Okay everyone –believe it or not, I actually read every comment that comes to my desk from this blog site—a few are spam, but most are from honest and interested people who are looking for ways to improve the quality of their lives. 

 Let’s put the jokesters aside and focus on you—the individual human being who really and sincerely wants to improve the quality and texture of your life.  But let us not stop there---I want to believe that you are also someone who has a dream and part of that dream is to try something new, so you will transform your life and reach your highest potential. This blog is all about sharing information that has the potentiality of helping you change when you are willing to listen to new ideas and try new ways.

 You say:  I want to achieve it!  Am I right?  Well if I am, please read on and if I am wrong—just leave this site because it is not meant for you in the first place.

 OKAY—LETS GET SERIOUS!  You care about where your money goes. You care about the free time that you enjoy but probably most of all you care about how you are going to get from plan “A” to plan “B”—Am I right?

 Well if you are still with me---let’s get going—

 This may be painful to some of you because the initial basis or foundation that I will discuss is—you have to be willing to do your work!

 So, what do I mean about that, you might ask—let me start by saying, most people don’t get it—they are dense but most of all—unwilling to sweat – to change their old ways of thinking – and release their past hurts and pains.

 Are you listening?  Do any of you agree because if you do, then we can continue?

 One of my first points is— anger, resentment and unforgiveness do not work.  They only hinder and block your flow.  Let me explain in simple terms.  It is like being constipated—blockage is blockage.  So, my first suggestion is let it all go because if you do not—you are only building a dam that will block your flow.  You cannot expect to transform your life or expect to reach your highest potential if you are completely blocked!

 Are you still with me?  Let’s continue.  Second, breathe deeply--you got it!   This is the time to release and allow all your blocks including your fears and doubts to dissolve.  You absolutely cannot grow and succeed when your thoughts are focused on doubt and worry.  Take it from me—I am an expert on this subject—fear begets fear and guess what!  Doubt, anger and resentment beget the same.

 So don’t you think it is time for you to try a new approach to living?  I am here for you and I am with you so let’s get started and begin the journey toward self-improvement and change.  I believe in you and your abilities

 I believe in you, your power and your skills

 But most of all—I want you to believe in ‘you’

 I know you can do it because I have done it!

 I know you are capable because I am just like you and I have discovered that I am capable

 And I know that you will succeed because I have succeeded and anything I can do you will do better—all you need to do right now is keep trying.

 Are you with me!  I believe in you so together we are an army of 2 (two).  Please do not let me down but most importantly—don’t give up on yourself because you are worth the effort!  Transformation does not happen overnight; it requires work, and sweat combined with courage and strength.

 Let me hear from you so that I know you are on this journey towards your success.

Are you over programmed in life?

Are you one Are you one of those people who have made so many commitments that you are having a hard time keeping them?  You have compromised your health and sacrificed your family life because you had a strong need to help others.   You are a leader in your community, but you fail your family.  So how do you accomplish all the tasks that you feel committed to or are you in the danger zone in your life where you have lost control of your true purpose and chose to over-program yourself to the point of self-destruction?  It is obvious that you have not been doing a good job at coaching yourself!  Did you know that you can’t truly reach your highest potential when you are stressed out and sacrificing your time to place everyone else before you! Too often we get caught up in the cycle of over enthusiasm, a desire to generate high visibility in the community or on the job and even take on tasks that cause excessive stress and anxiety because we don’t know how to say no. Sometimes we stretch ourselves to the point that we break when we over commit and over program ourselves.  Whether it is ego-driven or an over active energy spurt, setting sound priorities is always something that must be considered and monitored if you want to lead a balanced life.  That is why it would be valuable if you would learn how to coach yourself and monitor your behavior and responses.   So how do you create a well-balance life where you can enjoy your highly driven personality and still satisfy your other commitments?  I believe that you need to take a long hard look at: 1.  Your priorities and how you need to list them in order of importance—that is, what you value most.  Where do you place family commitment—is it at the top or bottom of your priority list?   When you are able to put in order of importance your values you are better prepared to understand the bigger picture and respond accordingly. 2.  Create a mission statement for your life.  That might sound strange to some of you but please know that all successful organizations have a mission statement.  A sound mission statement identifies your purpose, your reason for being and is meant to help you stay on a steady course.    3.  Communicate your vision to your family and colleagues in simple terms and express how you wish to accomplish your goals; then ask for their support and agreement.  If you are an over-achiever in life, you want to make sure you are supported.  A true leader of one’s life always communicates his/her purpose and vision of how you see it implemented.  4.  We are all connected - we do not live alone on an island but rather we are all interconnected and share in a common thread, which is why it is vital in life to ask for acceptance and acknowledgment for what you are seeking. Just like the butterfly theory, which says that when a butterfly ripples its wings in one part of the world, it is felt in another part of the world—so, too, with you and me.  Your actions and thoughts are impacted by society, your family individually and your community, that is why you would be better served when you choose to see the bigger picture of who you are, your purpose and function and attempt to live your life with those thoughts in mind.  We are all a work in progress, so I encourage you not to be hard on yourself but rather be gentle and allow sufficient time to reflect and refocus on the life that you want to manifest for yourself. You can do all the above easily when you are in your truth and when you are in your truth you are better prepared to coach yourself.  After all, you are the master painter of your canvas so if you are hoping to create your masterpiece, you will need to spend time in preparation and planning so you can absolutely reach your highest potential.  I hope you will develop a mission statement and a vision for what you want to do in life.f those people who have made so many commitments that you are having a hard time keeping them?  You have compromised your health and sacrificed your family life because you had a strong need to help others.   You are a leader in your community, but you fail your family.  So how do you accomplish all the tasks that you feel committed to or are you in the danger zone in your life where you have lost control of your true purpose and chose to over-program yourself to the point of self-destruction?  It is obvious that you have not been doing a good job at coaching yourself!  Did you know that you can’t truly reach your highest potential when you are stressed out and sacrificing your time to place everyone else before you!

Too often we get caught up in the cycle of over enthusiasm, a desire to generate high visibility in the community or on the job and even take on tasks that cause excessive stress and anxiety because we don’t know how to say no. Sometimes we stretch ourselves to the point that we break when we over commit and over program ourselves.  Whether it is ego-driven or an over active energy spurt, setting sound priorities is always something that must be considered and monitored if you want to lead a balanced life.  That is why it would be valuable if you would learn how to coach yourself and monitor your behavior and responses.
