What do I want to do when I grow up? The question comes back up in my own life again and again. My answer? I create a vision scrapbook, filled with my own inspirational words of wisdom, ideas, pictures, and relevant research. Do I ever solve the question? Not completely. I love this job, but I also dislike parts. What do I do from there? I have conversations with all the different parts of

Here are my latest tips on how to love your job! 1. Find something to like about as many people you work with, as you can. If you are open to it, and they seem open to it, chat with them more, tell them about yourself and ask questions, and perhaps develop friendships at work. 2. Tell yourself your a great person - constantly. You can forget how special you are when you are in the process of

Imagine you were able to go back in time and visit yourself as, say, a nine-year-old. You get a gig babysitting yourself, and you treat yourself to a wonderful day, doing your best to encourage yourself in all the ways you might not have been encouraged enough as a child. Now, you have a few minutes before you are zapped back into the future, and you decide to leave a note with some advice to

Uplift your energy with this planning exercise! Do you want to move forward with even more energy? Here is the key: move forward with purpose. When you move forward with purpose, life just seems to flow, and things fall into place. You don't feel guilty or that you should be doing something else. You have chosen your purpose, and you are going for it, one step at a time. But how do

Hi there life-adventurer! I had this great bit of insight that I wanted to share with you! So, let's say you have this goal or dream you've been thinking about. Maybe it's becoming a published author, starting a business, meeting some new friends, finding a love partner, or even getting your beloved to stop snoring. My insight was this: What if you then went on the internet and started a free

For a long time now, I have been wanting to raise my price as a life coach, because I know what I bring is worth a great deal. And secondly, because I want to grow my business instead of just making ends meet. I want to reach out for the next level of goal-attainment. I want to play that higher game. I had a lot of reluctance to do this, though, because I worried that raising my prices would

Hi life-path-adventurers! I wanted to share this funny story with you. One of my clients is really working on her confidence with public speaking, as her dream is to be a TV show host, and famous writer (and more!). She asked me to really challenge her public speaking nerves. So I asked her what her biggest fear was, related to public speaking. She answered that she was afraid she would go blank

I was thinking about how in this day and age, artists, musicians, writers, and all sorts of creative people, are learning more and more how to use the internet as an effective portal through which people all over the world can purchase their creations. And more programs are being created or being popularized through which they can get the word out, and host samples: images, mp3's, and e-books!

I was thinking tonight about how famous writer and art-salon-owner Gertrude Stein would have made a great life coach. First of all, her simple expressions such as, "Everything is so dangerous that nothing is really very frightening," had interesting layers and dimensions, as did her poetry and prose. Many-layered expressions could have been used for her coachees, giving them interesting

Here is an item of interest: a new dating site which focuses on bringing virgins together has launched. I thought I'd shared this with you because it can teach us a few things. First: if you are looking for your true love, you can seek out common interest groups, through the internet, and there's bound to be a group that meets your needs. After all, there's a dating site for virgins! Or you can

One of the things I do is help people create amazing visions for how they want their world to be. These visions are extremely helpful for people: these visions pump them up, make them feel happy, hopeful, and the visions inspire ideas which help people make their dreams come true faster than ever!In this exercise, you'll want to create a description of your ideal life, written as if someone is

Hello life-path-creators!Here are the latest tidbits of wisdom I've gathered for you:Ideas on Love:Tip of the day for singles: on your online dating site of choice, tell a story about something that you got really excited about: the time you met your favorite author at her book-signing, the last time you went hiking, seeing a favorite musician play an awesome song live at a concert, or simply a

One way to make more money is to start your own business. If you have the desire to take on additional responsibility, take courageous risks, and make the business you want to see in the world, then do it! Businesses are hiring independent contractors (who are, in fact, small business owners) more and more. People are looking around for services, or quality of service they are not getting, and

Inside a home in the country, or in the middle of a city? I invite you to describe it, and furthermore, to describe what you keep safe there.

In 1968, a pair of researchers, Robert Rosethal and Lenore Jacobson, made headlines with a study they conducted in elementary schools. In various classrooms, they chose random students who were no different than their peers, and told the teachers that these students had incredible intellectual potential. Shockingly (or perhaps not so shockingly), by the end of the year, these selected students
