books that form you.
I love to read. If I did not, I would not be capable of writing this blog! I always have a book on hand, going back and forth between fiction and self-development books, and sometimes read both simultaneously. Some self development books over the years that helped form my thinking include, "Y.O.U. & The Ultimate Life Tool®", "The Game of Life and How to Play It", "The Happiness Project", "Mastery", "Power Vs. Force", "The Greatest Salesman In The World", "The Greatest Miracle In The World", ...

on gratitude.
“Gratitude is a vaccine, an antitoxin and an antiseptic”- John Henry Jowett
I love this quote. It is so true. I came across it recently and it reminded me of how necessary it is for me to practice gratitude.
Something I learned from online entrepreneur, Lewis Howes is to end your day vocalizing three things you were grateful for that day. Usually, I share these things with my husband, and sometimes we take turns telling each other. Other times I will say them quietly to myself or in my ...

quotes that get me thinking.
There are endless amounts of timeless inspirational quotes used every day. I hear them quoted by my parents, bosses, friends & yoga teachers. I have seen them on television commercials or plastered to the side of a bus or billboard. Heard them on the radio, in speeches or sung in song lyrics. There are pieces of inspiration everywhere, I just have to pay attention to find them.
A few that have resonated with me over the years include:

thoughts on success.
Over the past couple of days, I have been drawn to articles related to success. I find myself spending hours getting lost in reading or hearing about others success stories and how they achieved greatness in their careers and lives. I am fascinated by the similarities in characteristics most successful people have in common, and sometimes am surprised by what I hear. A few qualities that stand out to me include:
Successful People Get Creative. They are resourceful and find ways to ...

stop with the “what ifs”.
For nearly two years my husband and I have been faced with a huge challenge. Our friends tell us they can not understand how we have not given up or broken down, it has been that difficult. There have been sleepless nights, tears of frustration and complaints joining us on this journey, but most commonly a lot of “what ifs?”.
A year into our situation over a few beers, we starting talking about our situation. We were playing the “what if” game, looking at every way our situation may pan out. ...

expect less. appreciate more.
Recently someone told me I “set the bar high”, it was not the first time I have had those words directed towards me. I had taken that statement as a compliment, assuming others look at me as someone with prestige. Now, I am starting to hear these words a bit differently. Reason being, I am tired of being let down. It is not others, or my own experiences letting me down, it is the habit of letting my expectations get out of control.
Each year I choose a mantra to live by. Last year I chose, ...

eternal love
Lead with love, an affirmation I remind myself of daily. In leading with love, I have thought a lot about love, where I see it, where I feel it and what it means.
The strongest form of love I have witnessed is with my grandparents, their spouses, children and grandchildren. I saw true love displayed when witnessing a friend supporting her husband during his time of illness and death. I could see and feel the love they had for one another as she held his hand, told him stories, and smiled. The ...

love oneself.
I one had a conversation with a friend about why they are single and not interested in dating. She told me she wanted to focus on finding happiness and success within herself and believed her soul mate would be doing the same. When both are ready and whole they will find one another. She was very adamant the reason her previous relationships had not worked out was because she or her partner were not fulfilled with themselves and looking for someone to fill a void. Then she shared with this short ...

Each week I look forward to reading Eric Barker's latest blog post on Barking Up The Wrong Tree. Eric's writings cover all types of personal development subjects, and he always highlights expert advice and research.
One of Eric's, “5 Easy Ways To Improve Difficult Relationships, Backed By Research”, reminded me, in relationships I need to focus on my actions rather than those I am relating. In challenging relationships (we’ve all got them), it is especially easy to forget to take ...
