Get To Stepping!

..

I am still excited from my time with Oprah at her Life You Want Weekend in Atlanta, GA. It was the most powerful and enlightening time of my life. I truly believe a deeper shift happened within me at that event. Since returning home, I’ve asked myself a question that I always ask when learning something new. And it is, “What key actions will I take as a result of this new information?”

I will tell you that I have taken some massive action steps in just one week. I will surely share them with you at another time. But here’s my point today. We are all in information overload. There’s not anything we want to know that we can’t find on the Internet. We have access to all kinds of information. But this information does us no good if we don’t access it deep enough to create massive change in our lives. 

I believe there are 2 things that you begin doing to create massive change and transformation with the information that comes to you each day. 

1. Share what you’ve learned. When we share, we anchor our own learning. Many times we want to keep the information to ourselves because we don’t want anyone else to have it. We somehow believe that if someone else has the same information they will achieve more than us. This is an illusion that keeps you thinking that if someone else wins, you lose. It’s called the zero sum mentality which will keep you stuck. So begin to share in empowering ways and watch your life change. 

2. The second thing is to ask yourself key questions. Tony Robbins said, “The quality of your life is in relationship to the questions you ask yourself.” One great question to ask yourself after learning something new is, “What key action will I take as a result of what I just learned?” This question forces you to do something, to take action. 

Massive action equals massive results. The bigger the action step, the bigger the result. Yes, we are inundated with information. We can’t change this fact. But we can allow the information we receive to benefit us when we understand what to do with it. The above one-two steps will do just that for you. So get to stepping! I am holding a space for you to shine and celebrating your success. 

So remember, live authentically, laugh everyday and embrace love as a lifestyle. Because success in life, really does begin with love. Have a rich and love filled day.

A Fatherless Daughter's Lost Cry in the Dark...My Heart Secret (Part 1)

My life has seemed to come full circle now that I have faced my own “Heart Secrets”. We all carry our own Heart Secrets within the deepest chambers of our hearts. For years, I protected my Heart Secrets to be sure no one found out. But the truth is, that once I came to grips with why my life had often seem to spin out of control, then and only then could I be free. My Heart Secrets was my obsession with finding true love. For years, I had written and spoken on numerous topics. Yet it never ceased to amaze me that the number one topic for most women was “Love“. In almost every conversation, the subject of love seemed to surface. It had become a cultural obsession. Someone was trying to find, keep or to get rid of what they thought was true love; nevertheless, we remained obsessed with it. I too had my own secret obsession with this thing called love.

After years of struggling with this obsession myself, I had to find some answers in order to move forward with my own life. After a painful divorce from a sixteen-year marriage, and several years of struggling as a single mother of three teenagers, I had reached my point of desperation. I felt lonely, unhappy and unlovable. I was consumed with all the negative emotions I had taught against for many years. I grew tired of looking for someone to love me, so I convinced myself that love was not in the plan for my life.

Then one day after one of my many pity parties, I heard this still, small voice whisper to me “Revive Your Own Love Story.” What was that? It was God! A God, which up until then had seemed so distant from me. I came to learned that in order to create the love story I so wanted, so longed for, somewhere in the deeper recesses of my soul, I had to identify the reasons for its absence. You see, in order for my pain to heal, I had to first heal my misplaced sense of identity. I learned that I didn’t know who I was or how love looked. Who was I? My Heart Secret had begun to surface and oh what pain I would have to face!!
