ARE YOU CONVINCED YOU CAN DO IT?

Are You Convinced You Can Do It? 

Harvey Mackay, author of Swim with the Sharks once said this.

The hardest sale 

you’ll ever make 

is to yourself.

Once you’re convinced 

you can do it,

you can.

What have you done once you convinced yourself you could?

Businesses have been launched.
Political offices have been earned.
Large bank accounts have grown even larger.
The big LEAP has happened because someone screwed their courage to the sticking place and made the leap.

It starts with conviction that the THING can be done by YOU! 

Well then ... GO DO IT!

Get Naked

 Get Naked 

Have you ever been naked in public? For most of us it’s no fun.

I’ve had a few dreams of running naked or in my underwear. So glad when I awakened.

Here’s the good side of getting naked, thanks to Seth Godin and his book

What to Do when it’s Your Turn

Get naked.
We become naked when we say ...
~I made this.
~It’s my fault.
~It was my idea.
~I decided to do it.
~No place to hide is the only place to be.

If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing naked, alone, boldly.

What Could Be?

What Could Be

I’m glad my parents didn’t give up on me when I was three, or ten, or fifteen. 

I’m glad I didn’t give up on myself when I made my first feeble attempts at some serious writing. 

You see, we have to look down the invisible road called ‘the future’ and imagine what a life might look like, or to see some possibilities in a person’s dreams and hopes.

What could you be?  I don’t know, and I hope you have some good and steady hands of friendship holding onto you as you find out.

We need believers in our lives.

Hope Is the Beginning

Hope Is the Beginning

Got hope?  I hope so.

Hope is the beginning of every enterprise in the world.  Somebody saw a need and then set about filling that need.  They had hopes of making a difference in this world. 

So … I ask again.  Got hope?

We’re living in hard times.  And yet, I have a hope for  brighter days ahead, more reasonable days, more sensible days.

For now, I’m turning that hope into prayers, and writing what I can, when I can, words of hope, encouragement and inspiration.

Exercise your hope.

I Know Fear and I Know Peace

I Know Fear and I Know Peace

I know fear when being shaved in preparation for heart surgery.

I know fear when having an angiogram to look at my heart blockage.

I’ve known other fears.

And in the middle of those fears, I know and have known peace from the God of my understanding.

And HIS peace trumps all fears.

When Disappointment Shows Up

When Disappointment Shows Up

Read the title again, please. 

And now, the question.

Is failure the final word or is it just a stumble and fall?

Failures are not a life sentence.  Setbacks aren’t the final word, unless you want them to be.

Hold to that possibility.

There is life after defeat.

I know this personally and professionally.

Be the Reason

Be the Reason

We have the amazing opportunity to either build up or tear down one’s hopes and dreams.  I’m choosing to be the reason someone holds onto hope.

People need to feel seen.  Let’s give them that opportunity.  We don’t ignore.  We don’t step over.  We don’t bypass. 

We listen. 

We can be the solution every day to someone who crosses our path.

We just have to choose to be!
