NOBODY GREATER THAN YOU!

Nobody Greater…

What’s going on when we search all over trying to find the answer? What are we really searching for? Without being too presumptuous, might I suggest that we are in search of something greater than ourselves. When life is not what we envisioned, expected, or hoped for, we steer toward the belief that something or someone greater than us has control of all things pertaining to our lives. We somehow, convince ourselves that we have missed it somewhere and that there is an ultimate being who will miraculously fix everything! Surely, there has to be something or someone greater than the force or forces ruling our lives when things aren’t going as planned.

Whether it be religion, profession, love or appreciation, there is nothing outside of us that is greater than what lives, moves and breathes inside of us. The truth is, when it comes to you, there is no greater authority than you! Am I dismissing religion, beliefs, or preferences? Absolutely not! If these are the motivators that drive you and your decisions concerning life, they must be ingrained in who you are on the inside, not an outward appendage of your persona. These things MUST be the heart and core of who you are.

We look externally for a cure to what ails us. The insecurity of the future and our inability to search within causes us to cling to external motivators. We hold on to dying loved ones, jobs, relationships, and other things that no longer serve us, fulfill us or function as a bridge to our future.  Finding our space of wholeness, wellness, financial freedom, love and joy calls for us continuously search within instead of without. You’ll find everything you need and bring peace to your soul when you learn to shut out the noise of life, quiet yourself and implement that internal search. You’ll soon find the answer to all your questions by trusting your inner you.  You’ll soon discover, there is truly NOBODY GREATER THAN YOU!

Life or Death

As we start to settle our feet in the sands of 2015, I am sure we have all taken some time for a little self reflection.  We have looked back over the last year and taken stock of what we have done.  We have taken inventory of our lives to determine what we have left and what we need to gain.  We have given deep thought to our past decisions and assessed their effectiveness in our lives to this point.  We have done all of this to help us determine which path we will take moving forward.

How many of us have given thought to the fact that there is a grave difference between living and being alive? So, as we look back over not just 2014 but the years prior, I suspect not many of us have examined whether we are embracing life by loving the life we live or just existing by merely avoiding death!

I was sharing with a friend of mine whose family member was diagnosed with a terminal disease.  In our humanness, when we get news like this, we tend to go into survival mode.  We often forget to embrace life and all it has to offer and immediately go into the caution zone.  Here we become afraid to live, laugh and enjoy life as if it will offend death in someway.  Truth be told, someone with a terminal illness can out live someone who is “fit as a fiddle!”  So, why not embrace those moments of love and joy that can never be replaced.  The worst thing that can happen is if your loved one does pass away, you’ll have some wonderful memories to help you live on.

We usually make these decisions subconsciously.  We hardly ever give them a second thought.  We often pattern our response to certain events in our lives based on how others have responded or how we have responded in the past.  I see a lot of people who mourn as if they have no hope because that is how they have seen others respond.  Whether the response was from real life or the screen, we tend to live our lives reacting like we think others think we should.  Why shouldn’t we choose how we want to react based on which reaction will best serve us in life. This may sound strange to some but even in death, we can have joy.  Why not embrace and enjoy the moments before death takes its’ final bow?  Our mourning severely or wanting to hold on to a loved one is usually an act of selfishness.  Now, I am not judging, just taking a broader view.  Truth is, we tend to hold on even when our loved ones are ready to move on. That, in itself, is a form of selfishness!

There are some of us who have not been given a grave diagnosis yet we live our lives as if we are just avoiding death.  Even when we do things such as eating right or exercising, we don’t take the time to really enjoy the meal or the moment. We just want to get it over because it will supposedly help us live longer, healthier lives but we don’t like doing it. If you are eating healthy it doesn’t mean the food has to be awful. Try new recipes and savor every bite! Test yourself as you exercise.  Make a game of it.  Beat your last result or challenge a friend to a duel.

We tend to let the great moments pass by too quickly and linger far too long with the moments that are not so great.  

So, as you continue to walk through the sands of time, take the time to enjoy every God given moment that brings you joy and find a way to quickly dismiss the moments that don’t.

You get to choose!

There is a Coaching Principle that states, “Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional.”  You get to choose how long you want to suffer through the pain the waves of life wash upon your shore.  Though some waves are higher and more severe than others, if you learn to ride the waves and stay afloat, there’s no wave you can not endure! Embrace the wave or risk drowning in the sea of life!

The next time you find yourself having to make a decision about how you are going to live your life, let one factor be whether the decision will help you embrace life or will it simply help you to avoid death!

The Measure of Success!

“True success lies not in just being yourself or doing the best you can but knowing the two are the same!” ~ Bruce Schnieder

How do you define success?  Years ago my church had a theme, “This is the Year that I Do Well!”  This was a year of great challenges for me.  My business was suffering, I had gotten divorced, I was in the midst of losing my home and my car had already been repossessed!  ”This is the Year that I Do Well,” was not a part of my conversation.

To add insult to injury, I was chosen to speak on the theme for the church banquet.  I began to seek God as to what an unsuccessful person would tell people who were doing well about how to do well.

As I sought for an answer, God brought to my attention that my focus was all wrong.  I had a view of what success was that clearly did  not line up with my life or my beliefs.  There are thousands of people who are married, have careers, homes and cars and are public successes but private failures!  I learned that year that though it may appear on the outside that I was unsuccessful, i was a success in doing God’s will for my life!  I still helped people who were less fortunate.  I was available when needed by the church or others.  I prayed for people, and helped in any manner I could.  I was obedient to the call on my life and therefore, very successful!  I was not only being myself, but definitely doing the best I could.

If this is how you measure success, then kudos to you.  You are SUCCESSFUL!

All is Well in My World!

This is the title of my new e-book.  It is a compilation of songs and poetry that I have written over the years.  I am sure it will inspire you in your relationships with yourself, God and others!  Take a moment and check it out.  Life as you know it will never be the same!

My career as a Life Purpose Coach with a focus on Spiritual and Relationship coaching is what inspired me to follow my lifelong dream of sharing my expressions of love with the world.  I believe God has given me a voice as well as given me those of you who will listen.  My desire is to die EMPTY! I want to empty myself of all God has given me to release into the atmosphere and hope that it inspires others to do the same! #beinspired!

Michael Jackson said it like this, “I’m starting with the man in the mirror. I’m asking him to change his ways and no message could have been any clearer, If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, and then make  a change!”

This philosophy also works making YOUR world a better place as well!  What choices can you make, moving forward, that will make the image your life reflects look more like what you envisioned your life to be?   Make the choice to have a great life 2day!

Are You Detail Oriented?

“I want to know Gods thoughts… the rest are details!” ~ Einstein #what’sonyourmind?

What is consuming your thoughts?  Are you consumed with the cares of this world or have you decided to “let this mind be in you?”

 When we choose to have the thoughts of God, everything else is secondary.  Nothing is able to take FULL residence in our mind!  Serve an eviction notice to the things that have crowded your mind that have no relevance to your future…. after all, they’re only details!
