I’m Celebrating My Failures Today!

Today, I’m celebrating my failures.

Yes, you read right.  I’m actually celebrating the things that didn’t go right this week.

So often we get disappointed and upset because things don’t go our way. It is during those times that we are tempted to throw in the towel and give up.

But as I look back over this past week, I have to thank God for what didn’t happen as I wanted it to…

  • a new group coaching program I was planning to start this month had to be pushed back until August throwing off my entire program schedule
  • two potential client leads didn’t work out
  • I accidentally scheduled a meeting at 7 pm for a project I really wasn’t sure I even wanted to work on.

Whoo-hoo! I’m happy that those things happened the way they did.  Why? Because of those things going wrong, here’s what went right:

  • It just so happened that the meeting I didn’t want to attend  opened up the opportunity to serve as the business coach on a new business incubator project.
  • Moving that coaching program  to August allowed me to use the month of July as GOAL GETTERS month and help more people to start focusing on achieving their goals.

And, what about those two clients that decided not to coach with me?  Well, that could be God’s blessing for you!  I now have two private coaching spaces available for dynamic Christian women who are ready to take their business and personal lives to the next level.

What seems to be going wrong in your life?  What things didn’t happen the way you wanted them to?  Instead of throwing a temper tantrum, turn that pity party into a celebration.  There are great things in store for you.  Remember – “…God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”

Celebrate with me. Share your failure turned success stories in the comment section below.

you’re ALMOST perfect

Have you ever beheld the beauty of bamboo? The way it sways in the wind, green & smooth & creaking softly… it can be breathtaking.  Then you think about how fast it grows, how many useful products it can be used to create and it is, hands-down, a perfect plant.

 How about oak trees?  Have you ever climbed the sturdy trunk of a massive, woody oak & sat in its branches, listening to its leaves rustle in the breeze as birds nestle high overhead? Now think of the homes that can be built out of its strong wood…and the delicious flavor it imparts to wine & whiskey…it too, is a perfect plant.

 

Do you think the oak ever compares itself to bamboo, wishing it were more slender, smooth and flexible?  Do you think that the bamboo has ever gotten jealous of the oak, longing for more strength, stability & rough edges?

Probably not. We could learn a lot from plants…

The fact is, YOU are perfect, too…just as you are.

I know that sounds borderline preposterous, but stay with me for a moment.  Think about it…your legs may be “too short” or your hands “too big,” but given the right task, they are IDEAL.  So is every other part of you.

In fact, the only thing standing in the way of YOUR COMPLETE PERFECTION is the belief that you should be more or less of anything.  Once you really get that, your world will radically transform as well as the lives of everyone around you.

This is why I’m inviting you to my latest webinar, FREE, as my guest.

Keep Hope Alive

When negative thoughts scream “give up”…hope whispers “give it another shot!”

When we’re facing an obstacle, why is it that the negative thoughts in our head scream at us while the voice of hope is so small?  Especially when you’re going for a big the thoughts of “I’m not smart enough to…” or “I don’t have enough money to…” or “I’m not pretty enough to…” seem so loud it’s hard to hear anything else.

But, I thank God that even the tiniest voice of hope is enough to keep you climbing those mountains that stand between you and your dreams. 

If you find that your “give up” thoughts are lounder than you “give it anothe try” voice – here’s a simple, yet powerful message from Edgar A. Guest that will motivate you to keep moving (and maybe even make those negative thoughts shut up)

 

“When things go wrong as they sometimes will,

When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about

When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–

You may succeed with another blow,

Success is failure turned inside out–

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far;

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–

It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.”

What is your voice of hope encouraging you to give another try?

7 Traps Keeping You Stuck With Unfulfilled Potential

Why aren’t you getting the results you desire in your life?

You have big goals and dreams and you know t.  There is so much unfulfilled potential in your life that it’s about to burst at the seams.

So…

What’s keeping you stuck with unfulfilled potential?

I recently had the pleasure of reading John Maxwell’s The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth.  In it, he describes the traps that keep people from reaching their fullest potential.  As I read these traps, I felt that they particularly applied to Christian women who often put their goals and dreams on the back burner to meet the needs of others.

If you are feeling as if you’re falling short of your God-given potential read on to see if you are caught by any of these 7 potential-killing traps:

1. You believe that you will naturally grow into your potential.

It’s  time to get real.  Releasing your full potential does not just happen.  It is something that requires intention.

2. You don’t think you have enough knowledge to grow.

That’s why we have libraries, bookstores, the internet, and lots of experts with tons of knowledge.  Everything you need to know, there is someone who can teach it to you.

3. You are waiting for the right time.

Don’t get sucked in by the Law of Diminishing Intent.  The longer you wait to do something, the greater the odds that you’ll never do it.

4. You compare yourself to others and don’t think you measure up.

The only standard that counts when it comes to living your life to the  fullest potential is yours.

5. You are afraid to make mistakes.

Mistakes are a part of life.  In fact, the most successful women are the ones that have made the most mistakes.

6. You haven’t been motivated or inspired to grow.

I’m going to quote Nike here – “Just do it.”  Don’t wait for someone else to inspire you to grow YOUR life.  Create your own motivation and inspiration by thinking of all that you have to gain by pressing forward and living hte life God crated you to live – and all that you have to lose if you don’t. 

7. You think it should happen over night.

No, it won’t happen over night.  But it won’t happen at all if you don’t persevere.  Remember, it takes time to build something great!

Have you been snared by any of these traps?  Determine right now to break free.

If you want to experience the life success you know you can, it’s time to seize the opportunities to grow.
