What if your soul already knows?
Quite honestly, I’ve found myself at a crossroads this week, torn between what I “think” I should do and an overwhelming aversion to doing it. Perhaps, occasionally, you’ve been there, too? What if we pay attention to the guidance from our soul? What if we take the time each day to quietly listen to our inner Wisdom and discern the path of JOY? What if our soul already holds for us every answer we seek, and the key to receiving the answer is to give up the thought that we already know? “Faith is an oasis in the heart which can never be reached by the caravan of...
Read MoreWhat if you shift your focus?
In a world where “you get what you focus on,” this week we pause to reflect: Am I getting the results I want? And if not, how could I shift my focus? What if we catch ourselves every time we complain and use each incident to refocus on what we want? What if we use all the things we don’t want to strengthen our desire and enthusiasm for what we do want? What if we every time we feel anxiety, hopelessness, or frustration, we use it as a reminder to refocus our attention to what is working? “Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.” –Jim...

If you want to grow a business, at one point or another, you’ve got to learn to sell. But if you’re like me, the thought of reading a sales script or putting the squeeze on a hot lead is about as appealing as having a root canal or perhaps cleaning toilets. What if it didn’t have to be that way? What if you could hang up the typical sales shtick and replace it with an approach that is service-oriented, honest, and in full integrity…? I spent the evening with nationally celebrated sales trainer Eric Lofholm. Eric is one of the top sales trainers in the country, and...
Read MoreWhat if you are the one to start it all?
It seems fitting for Valentine’s Day to focus this week’s possibility on the power to strengthen our relationships. I recently met a fabulous expert on the topic who suggested the following attitude whenever we find ourselves wishing things would change: Choose to go first. What if we choose to be the one to bring more sizzle to our romances, more tenderness to our families, and more joie de vivre to our colleagues? What if we choose to be the one to initiate the conversations that bring us closer and heal our wounds? What if we choose to be the one to start a chain of...
Read MoreWhat if failure is the real secret to success?
This week’s possibility is inspired by an article I stumbled upon in The New York Times about character traits that best predict future success. Top of the list? A healthy helping of old-fashioned GRIT! What if every failure provides valuable feedback about how to improve the next step? What if we have the grit and the endurance to move through our failures triumphantly rather than allowing them to hinder our success? What if we giving ourselves full permission to strike-out emboldens our swing so that we knock a few more out of the park? “Consider it all joy, my brethren, when...
