Deliberate Vision

A four-pack on love:

In what ways is it easy for you to show love?
In what ways is it hard for you to show love?
In what ways is it easy for you to receive love?
In what ways is it hard for you to receive love?

James Clear

"You can't change your past, but you can re-frame it.

Find the lesson in it. Find the opportunity in it. Pull the teachable moment out of it and share with others.

You can't choose your history, but you can choose the story you tell about it."

James Clear

Poet and novelist Sylvia Plath reminds us that choosing a path means ignoring the rest, but not choosing means squandering them all:

"I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with q***r names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet."

Thank you for the reminder James Clear

Someone just engaged me to spend a hour with their Graduating Senior and off them Life Coaching - to speak with them BEFORE they leave for college - to talk about their goals, definitions of success, ambitious and concerns.

To establish a framework for achieving their potential, to create a road map, to hold them accountable, check on them throughout the summer and the coming school year.

What an honor to be asked! I'm looking forward to serving and supporting!

We could probably support our teenagers more, as they are in our households, as they work towards setting up strong habits based on values and commitments. It's our job as a community to support them, to offer a safe space and help them establish the standards and discipline NOW that will create amazing results.

If you'd like to discuss what this looks like for your Senior or to gift the coaching session to someone - it turned into a great graduation gift. I'm ready to pour into these young people to set them up on a course of clarity and success.

What if you found that the HARD things you CHOOSE to do in your life actually helped you live longer?

What if you realized that doing things you DON'T WANT to do makes your brain larger?

Not the easy stuff that other people find hard. But the things that are truly painful, uncomfortable, daunting. You do them anyway.

THIS is the stuff that is improving your life - scientifically proven - listen to this podcast!

"When obese people go on a diet, their BRAIN ENLARGES"

Proven results from athletes who push themselves, entrepreneurs who take no days off, sales people who make the phone calls, trying something new every single day.

This is available to anyone. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

When I ask you, what HARD THINGS are you CHOOSING to do today, tomorrow and then next day, tell me something HARD!!!!!

What Started As A Simple New Year's Resolution... Last year I made a New Year's resolution to send a birthday card to everyone in my family on his or her birthday. I think there's nothing more sweet and kind than to get a nice little surprise in the mailbox - something other than a bill or grocery store flyer. So every month I faithfully looked at…
