It is important that you stay accountable for your own inspiration so that you are empowered to sacrifce more to get what you want (if you truly want it). You don’t want to have to be constantly coached by others. Take accountability for yourself. Find what you love to do, and align it with what must be done. Sometimes, you do what you have to do until you get to a place where you can do what you love to do. But don’t let your dream slip away in the process!

Everything in life, from the construction of a building to a relationship, requires a solid foundation, or it will crumble. If certain things are not in place, you’ll not be able to support all of the other things you wish to accomplish. We want that foundation and support to be solid.

When we let negativity into our lives, it brings out the worst parts of our ego and usually causes a physical reaction, with blood leaving our brain and impacting our ability to make clear decisions. I find two strategies particularly helpful when experiencing negativity, which I call Cancel, Clear, Connect and Stop, Drop, and Roll. These techniques are meant to help you reset your perception and avoid falling into the traps of your ego.

Feed Into the Positive, Don’t Vote For the Negative: The mathematical equation for coincidence (or luck) is that your attention plus your intention equals the coincidences that occur in your life.

Pretend you’re a blade of grass, trying to push through the soil and enjoy everything the sun has to offer. The fragile bit of grass is beneath tons of soil and stone. It doesn't know if it is getting nearer to the surface and the sun, it only knows the direction it must keep pushing. Not until the instant it breaks through the cold soil into the light does it know the effort will be rewarded. A blade of grass, of course, doesn't suffer from the doubt and second thoughts that make our path seem ...
