When you overcome your limiting beliefs and focus your energy and efforts on what matters most, you can do the most amazing things.

I am living proof that you can overcome limiting beliefs and create a fulfilling, meaningful, abundant life.

Was it easy?

No, it wasn’t.

I remember moving from away from upstate New York to Texas at the age of 18 with only a suitcase and a cardboard box of clothes.

I had a few dollars, no higher education, and zero life experience.

I got through life the best I could, until one day in the early 1980’s when I read Richard Bach’s inspirational book Illusions – Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah. On that day, my divine essence woke up. I developed a burning desire to take charge of my life and lead with my true nature instead of my fears.

Learning to believe in myself didn’t happen on its own. It was a process that required taking action.

We don’t always know exactly what direction to move in or what action to take. In fact, many of our actions lead to unintentional outcomes. But without action we never give ourselves the opportunity to overcome our limiting beliefs and lead the life we were born to live.

I’ve been helping people to connect with their infinite potential, overcome limiting beliefs, and transform personal challenges into a better life for years. It is possible, but it won’t happen on it’s own.

Can you imagine living your most perfect life? The kind of life where you look forward to the upcoming Monday or Tuesday as much as you look forward to Saturday and Sunday. Imagine loving your life and loving yourself for living it. Wow! What a way to live.

If you are not yet living that great life, don’t worry! It’s never to late to move forward and create the type of life you want.

Here’s an effective exercise I’ve used when I work with people one-on-one to help them discover what they are passionate about. This is a series of questions for you to think through and answer in complete earnest. Grab a pen and paper and write down your thoughts and ideas. Don’t over analyze your answers, Just tune into yourself, breathe, and allow your answers to flow with ease.

Now, let’s get started…

Question 1. What is something (a person, idea, place, or activity) you are curious about?

Question 2. What is your favorite book? What ideas are in this book that spark your life energy?

Question 3. What were your favorite classes and subjects in school? Which caught your attention, or inspired you to learn?

Question 4. Do you have something that you deeply care about?

Question 5. When does time seem to fly by? What are you typically doing?

Question 6. What excites and energizes you?

Question 7. What are the values you hold dear that guide your life?

Question 8. What is the one problem, challenge, or issue your were born to address?

Question 9. What are the types of things you currently enjoy to help people?

Question 10. Name one thing you do that hours go by in what feels like minutes?

Answer this series of questions and then gather your assessments and look for patterns and common denominators. Review your answers and notice if there any obvious themes running through your answers. What insights have you gained? There’s no need to rush the process. Take a few hours or a few weeks to ponder your answers and to look more deeply into yourself.

Once you are aware of a common theme, ask yourself, ‘What can I do next? What will help me create that life?” Then feel into yourself and notice the answer that comes from your heart and soul.

Since you deserve to live a great, meaningful, and fulfilled life, receive the answer that comes up and take action. Take one step, or one action every single day to make your dream come to life. When you focus your energy toward something that you care about, you will feel great because you are doing something that really means something to you.

Remember, it’s never too late to create a great life. Empower yourself and make your life happen by choice!
