Being Proactive, not Reactive
Fri, 2010-03-05 04:33 | by monicadear
Many of us are in constant "reactive" mode rather than in proactive or visionary mode. For example, at your current job, did you just "fall in" to it? or did you actively create it?
In your current house or apartment, was it just available, or did you identify what you wanted and then find it?
In your current relationship, is it just there, or is it something that you co-actively create and maintain over time?
When we sit down, assess, take a deep, deep breath, and really think about what it is we want to create with our lives, we start to understand our priorities and what it is that we want to make manifest with the gift of our lives.
Some inspiring quotes to get you going
Fri, 2010-03-05 03:56 | by monicadear"Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it." William C. Durant
"If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world, but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all" -Anna Quindlen
"There are three kinds of leaders: those who make things happen, those who wait for things to happen, and those who wonder what happened."
"Work is Love made visible. If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of the people who work with joy." - Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
There is no Hidden Secret to Success
Sun, 2010-02-21 23:42 | by monicadear
One thing that I've found, time and time again, is that there is no hidden "secret" to achieving what you want. The path is simple and it is plain to see. Directly in front of you, maybe underneath the piles of clutter and junk, is your destiny, the one in which you rise up and reach all of your full potential.
I believe that this "secret" is merely a truth that some of us have to remind ourselves about, over and over again. We can achieve our most amazing dreams.
What I do see is hard thinking, the ability to work smart, and a steadfast belief in your goal. I think the most easy ideas are sometimes the hardest ones to accomplish. For example:
Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder
Fri, 2010-02-19 02:13 | by monicadearI came across this today and wanted to share --- I encourage you to think of yourself as a spiritual being inside a physical body.
If you are pursuing a particular image, make sure that the image is truly attainable, because the digital tools on the market can literally deceive your eyes.
Photoshop can do wonders: you can do a search on "Photoshop makeover" through YouTube to see how magazines and publicity control what you may be exposed to.
I believe true beauty is in authenticity, integrity, creativity, and originality. Be unique, be yourself, and share your own personal gift with the world.

Well, here's your chance to learn one on one from professionals who have done just that.
Follow the Path and Go Straight to your Destination
Wed, 2010-02-17 04:09 | by monicadear
I'm re-reading some of my favorite books from Paulo Coehlo: this time it's his first novel, "The Pilgrim", which is about his road through the pilgrimage route of Santiago de Compostela.
There is an interesting section when his guide gives him a talking-to, and he realizes that he has been wandering the same section of the path for seven days because he has been so focused on his end result (the destination), rather than noticing what is happening around him, including the road, the scenery, the mountain, and the details on the path.
Getting out from under your Debt
Fri, 2010-02-12 02:15 | by monicadearIf you are in the United States, I invite you to annually check in for a free credit report through https://www.annualcreditreport.com.
Note that this is a free service from the three major credit reporting bureaus. You may receive a copy of your credit report every 12 months--- use this service and not the many fake, paid versions.
Keep note of the kinds of debt you are holding. "Good" debt is considered something like a student loan, that has a relatively low interest rate and pays off in additional opportunities once you exit college or graduate school. "Bad" debt is considered credit cards.
