You are capable of far more than you know

Confidence leads to action and action leads to to greater confidence. Making smart decisions up front makes the path smoother overall. Bold moves leads to stellar destinations. We as women have a tendency to underestimate our own potential. You are capable far more than you know. You have to believe that. Stop underestimating yourself. When you do, you will begin communicating your openness to a better life. In your relationships,  your career, finances and even your health. Your faith will expand and so will your success.

“The most successful people make wise decisions early in life and manage those decisions for the rest of their lives.” I will never forget the first time I heard this from expert John Maxwell and it stuck with me. Whether in your relationships, career, financial abilities,  health and fitness habits or spiritual journey,  starting strong makes the rest of your path easier. your internal beliefs about yourself directly influence your external success.

The Power of Mental Imagery

“Tu mente da a luz tu realidad”.

¿Cuáles son los ejercicios de imágenes mentales más comunes que ensaya?  ¿Te imaginas en tu mejor momento todos los días?  ¿Te ves feliz, exitoso y en paz?  ¿Te ves viviendo tu visión en el ojo de tu mente?
Este fin de semana quiero que uses el poder de las imágenes mentales para fortalecer tu resolución de avanzar con valentía y por completo hacia la vida que es posible para ti.
Primero, identifique un escenario específico en el que desea verse en el futuro.  Pregunte: ¿Qué estoy haciendo?  ¿Con quién estoy?  ¿Dónde estoy exactamente?  ¿Cuándo ocurrirá?  Pinta una imagen vívida para tu mente.
A continuación, cállate.  Respira, Relájate.
Finalmente imagínate a ti mismo en la visión como si fuera el momento presente.  ¿Cómo te sientes?  ¿Qué ves, saboreas, tocas?  Permanezca allí durante al menos 60 segundos.
Haz de las imágenes mentales un hábito diario.  Comience durante los próximos siete días dedicando solo dos minutos al día a imaginarse viviendo plenamente en su visión divinamente inspirada.  Cuando lo veas, lo creerás.  Y lo que crees que es posible, te mueves hacia eso.

¿Cuál es el escenario específico que se siente distante, pero también verdadero para ti?

“Your mind births your reality.”

What are the most common mental-imagery exercises you rehearse? Do you imagine yourself at your best daily? Do you see yourself happy, successful and at peace? Do you see yourself living your vision in your mind’s eye?

This weekend I want you to use the power of mental imagery to strengthen your resolve to boldly and fully move toward the life that is possible for you.

First, identify a specific scenario in which you want to see yourself in the future. Ask: What am I doing? Who am I with? Where am I precisely? When will it occur? Paint a vivid picture for your mind.
Next, get quiet. Breathe, Relax.

Finally imagine yourself in the vision as if it the present moment. How do you feel? What do you see, taste, touch? Stay there for at least 60 seconds.

Make a mental imagery a daily habit. Start for the next seven days by carving out just two minutes a day to imagine yourself living fully in your divinely inspired vision. When you see it, you’ll believe it. And what you believe is possible, you move toward.

What is the specific scenario that feels distant, but also feels true for you?

Start Small But BELIEVE Big

I hope you understand that we can’t get anywhere in life without taking that first small step. Sometimes the step is HARD; other times it’s easy. But no matter what you have to do it if you want to achieve big things.

You never know when something small that you do for others is going to expand into something big.

The thing here is that you need to start where you are. Opportunity is always where you are. Be willing to start by giving of yourself.

Start with your one thing. I believe everybody has one thing they do better than anything else. When you start on your one thing it will lead you to where you want to be.

Start watching your words. Words kill, words give life; they are either poison or fruit, you choose. What we say to ourselves either encourages us or discourages us. The words we need to embrace are positive, words such as, we, can, will, and yes. What do we need to eliminate? Me, can’t, won’t and no. Words have power. What kind of words do you use in your mind as you talk to yourself, out loud as you speak with others, and in your writing? Are they positive and encouraging? Do they encourage you to embrace a bigger vision? Or are they holding you back? Are they preventing you from doing small things that can ultimately make a big difference? Don’t tell yourself that what you can do doesn’t matter. It does.

Start by making small changes. Change can be difficult, but it becomes easier when you do it a little at a time. Try to change 5% a day by asking yourself a question, If I were 5 % more responsible today, what would I be able to do? This kind of thinking help us to embrace incremental change.

Believe big. If you don’t believe you can do something, guess what? You won’t. No matter how talented you are, how many opportunities you receive or how many resources you have at your fingertips. YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE .

🤚 Do you believe in yourself? Your belief will drive your behavior. You will never be more than how you see yourself. 🤚

God Bless,

People Quit People, Not Companies

How many have ever quit their job because of a bad leader or a bad relationship at work?


As a leader, we’d like to think that when people leave , it has little to do with us. But the reality is that we are often the reason. People usually quit their leaders. The “Company” doesn’t do anything negative to them. People do.

What kind of people do employees quit?

  1. People quit people who devalue them. It is impossible to add value to someone we devalue!. If we do not respect someone, we can’t treat them with respect. When leaders devalue their people they start to manipulate them.
  2. People quit people who are untrustworthy. Have you ever worked with people you couldn’t trust? It’s a terrible experience. Nobody likes to work with someone that they can’t rely on.
  3. People quit people who are incompetent. When leaders are incompetent, they become a distraction to the team. They waste people’s energy. They prevent people from keeping the main thing, the main thing.
  4. People quit people who are insecure. If the leader values people, possesses integrity, and displays competence, then people will be content to follow, right? No, even if leaders posses those three qualities, there still one characteristic that will drive people away from them. INSECURITY. Some insecure leaders are easy to spot. Their desire for power, position and recognition comes out in an obvious display of fear, suspicion, distrust or jealousy.

No matter how good of a leader you are, you will ocacionally lose people. That’s simply a part of leadership. However, you can do things to make yourself the kind of leader that other people wants to follow.

How Do You Know A Relationship Is Broken and How Can You Save It?

How can you tell a relationship has become broken? These are the most common signs:

1. It’s hard to have an honest conversation. When relationships are in trouble, it becomes difficult to have a normal, honest conversation.

2. There is a lack of trust. When relationships begin to break down , suspicion creeps in.

3. There’s lack of passion to continue the relationship. Eventually the other person stops putting in any effort to build back the relationship or make it work.

When you see these signs you should try to repair the relationship.

1. Initiate fixing the relationship with them.

2. Give them the benefit of the doubt.

3. Be willing to walk the second mile.

4. Speak well of them afterward.

A lot of relationships are worth saving, but many can’t be saved. We have to be realistic about the relationship and do our best, but sometimes we have to accept that it can’t be saved. We have to learn to say to ourselves, It’s OK. I don’t need to keep this close relationship with this person anymore. Still value the person and let them go.

Is it time to stay or move on?

This was the best advise I have received in my life when you have to determine if it is time to stay or move on.

This is a decision you have to make after you meet with your leader. Will you stay or will you go? May be your leader says he will change. If that turns out to be true, great. May be he says he will not change. Are you willing to live with that? May be the conversation you had with your leader did greater damage to the relationship. As someone once said: “Relationships are like glass. Sometimes is better to leave them broken than to hurt yourself trying to put them back together.” In the end you may not be able to change the people around you, but you can change the people you choose to be around.

If you are still having a hard time trying to decide whether to stay or go, ask yourself this question: If I weren’t already working here, knowing what I know now, would I want to become part of this organization? If the answer is no, it’s time to go. If the answers is “I don’t know” ask yourself again in six months. If the answer is yes, stay and learn how to work with your leader.

Kkoaching Business And Leadership

Sometimes you have to fail miserably to be forced onto the right path. Sometimes an intense struggle isn’t God’s way of teaching you something,  but rather God’s way of telling you that you are moving in the wrong direction.  Rather than forcing something that doesn’t fit or beating yourself up because you are not good enough, why not ask this question? Is it possible that there is a better path for me? One that aligns with my unique gifts and strengths? And if so, what is it? You must find the right place for you.  Whether in your career or relationships, the place that looks impressive to everyone else may not be the right place for you. A good place is not the same as the right place. If you are moving in the wrong direction,  be humble and willing to change the course. In what ways are you forcing something to happen that simply is not a good fit? In what ways does pride or caring too much about what other think  keep you moving in a direction that is not meant for you? What new direction might it be time to embrace?

Put Your Dreams To The Test

When I ask people to describe their dream many of them stammer and stumble, trying to put in to words a vague notion they’ve nurtured but never defined. A dream that isn’t clear won’t help you get anywhere. what do you want to accomplish? what do you want to experience,  what do you want to contribute? what do you want to become ? In other words, what does success looks like for you? If you don’t define it, you won’t be able to achieve it. The primary reason people don’t get what they want is that they do not know what they want . They haven’t defined their dream in clear and  compelling detail.

“The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT.”

When You Care. Show It.

There are people who do great work around you everyday. when you care, show it. Don’t hesitate or put it off until next week. Do something this week or even today. Things as simple as a greeting card  or something else inexpensive,  yet meaningful,  that sums up how you feel are all you need to make an impact and strengthen a relationship.

Quit Treating Your Feelings As Good Or Bad

It’s human nature to want to create two simple and easy piles of emotions: the good ones and the bad ones. For instance, most people would automatically classify guilt as bad. You don’t want to feel it- it might even beat yourself up about it, and you do whatever you can to get rid of it. Likewise, we tend to let good emotions like excitement run wild. We pump ourselves up and feed up the energy. The downfall of attaching such labels to your emotions is that judging your emotions keeps you from really understanding what it is that you are feeling . When you allow yourself to sit with an emotion and become fully aware of it, you can understand what is causing it. Suspending judgement of emotions allows them to run their course and vanish. Passing judgement on whether you should or shouldn’t be feeling what you are feeling just heaps more emotions in top of the pile and prevents the original feeling from running its course. The next time you feel an emotion begin to build , take notice of it immediately. Refrain from putting it into the good or bad pile and remind yourself that the feeling is there to help you understand something important.
