Morgana - It’s happening FOR you, not TO you…

“It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.” Epictetus

Ever feel like you have a monkey on your back?

I just wrapped up with one of my favorite clients of all time. In one year she  married her beloved, bought the business she used to work for, and  she’s on track to sell it for 30 million dollars in 5 years or less. And she’s doing it all by leading with love.

It all started with changing her relationship with money from a monster to a honey. (She worked on her own with my workbook for 2 years before hiring me.)

As we reflected on the last year, we noticed that “problems” that cropped up (and felt really upsetting in the moment) turned out to be good things.

I’ve seen this again and again over the years: that a crisis that looks like a disaster turns into the very opportunity you’ve been waiting for and asking for.

In retrospect, the worst things that happen can be the most valuable events of our lives.

 

For example, one of the women I’ve accepted to my Money Goddess retreat in Bali in November cured herself of Lyme disease holistically after she wasn’t experiencing any improvement through conventional medicine. She has even written a book about the connections she discovered between auto-immune disease and childhood trauma, and she shares her path of inner healing and lifestyle changes for full recovery.

Wow! Can you imagine how many people need her message? (I am so excited to meet her in 2 months!)

That’s why I find it useful to experiment with re-interpreting events:

  • What if it’s not happening to you, but is happening for you?
  • What do you need to learn here, to release this struggle?
  • What becomes possible?

This trauma-to-treasure theme has been a favorite topic in my recent coaching calls. And when you try looking at the situation from this different perspective, you’ll often find the benefits and opportunities faster.

Imagine you’re a surfer. What do we know about surfer’s? They LOVE big waves. Learn to ride the waves.

Hang ten and prosper, spiritual surfer.

SMART Goals 101: Goal Setting Examples, Templates, and Tips - Brian Tracy

I think you’ll agree with me when I say: We’ve all heard that SMART goals are important . But a lot of people are left with questions about them, for example: What exactly are they? How do we use them correctly? Are they really contributing to your success? Here’s the deal: When it comes to achieving success, one of the most important steps that you can take is setting good goals. It is also important to recognize, though, that not all goals are created equal. In this article, we’ll take a look at a special class of goals called SMART goals and how you can use them to heighten your chances of success. FREE SUCCESS TOOL: Brian Tracy’s 14-Step-Goal-Setting Guide What is a Goal? A goal can be any objective that you set for yourself and push yourself to achieve. Sometimes that goal may be small (like waking up an hour earlier than you normally do) and sometimes it may be larger (like earning a promotion). But here’s the kicker: While having goals of all kinds is almost

bosanchez - The Bias of Fathers

One day, I was at a Christmas party. And parents were forcing their small kids to sing, bribing them with lollipops to banana splits to doll houses to Boracay vacations. One father — a friend of mine whose name I won’t divulge as it would be hazardous to my health — brought his little five-year-old daughter to the front. Because he even had a Minus One prepared, we thought, “She must really be a good singer.” So everyone clapped their hands and cheered as the music started. Then the five-year-old began to sing. Or at least made some kind of sharp noise.  But she didn’t get one key right. The cute little girl was absolutely tone deaf. From beginning to end, she sounded so awful, the experience was similar to having an endoscopy without the anesthesia. But the father was right beside me, still taking photos, still smiling from ear to ear, his eyes glued to his little daughter. He looked at me and smiled, “She may not sound right, but can you see how lovely she sways her hips?” Th
