Harness Your Power: My Motto

Simple ideas can create revolutionary change.

My motto has become, "I do what I can, with the resources I have, where I am RIGHT NOW!"  I use this affirmation in all aspects of life. 

Each of us has the power to create positive change in our personal lives, in our professional lives and in our nations.  Yet, so often we get stuck thinking, "I just don't have enough money or time yet to make the personal change or the purposeful impact I want to make."  I'm here to tell you this week, you do have what is needed.

Think of it this way, sometimes the greatest transformations come from the smallest things -- shifts in thought patterns lead to radical life changes.  Often, a simple, loving act like listening to a friend can change the course of a person's life.  Sometimes a smile to a stranger can change the feel of their day.  Don't wait to create change.  Start today.

Do what you can.
Use whatever inner resources you have if you feel that your bank account isn't low enough to use your finances.
Start where you are with the people who are currently in your life.
Do it RIGHT NOW.  Yes, the call for taking action is TODAY!

Our assignment this week is twofold:

1.  Follow through and take the next daily step in the road to your personal transformation.  Make the phone call you know needs to be made.  Write your vision for your life down on paper.  Get your resume updated or get the business plan together.  You know you are ready for great changes so don't wait another day to do one small thing.

2.  Do something, some small thing with great love, to brighten another person's life.  If you want to use money to do so, great!  If not, get creative and show love in a cost-free high-impact way.  Who in your life needs some extra kindness?  Seek them out and offer them compassion today.

The small things done with great love add up to the lasting legacy of love we leave. 

Post this simple motto in a place you can see it each morning so that you remember the power you have!

Harness Your Power: Breakthroughs Do Come!

It's been an interesting few weeks.  A few breakthroughs and openings have developed in my career.  It's exciting to see the seeds I've planted bear more fruit. 

I found out last week that my weekly column will now also appear in the Daily Dispatch, a newspaper in Ghana.  And, my TV clips will appear on Crystal TV Ghana, on the show Trailblazers in Africa.  The remarkable timing of it all is that I will also be speaking with Dayo Israel's Advance 360 Peak Performance tour in Ghana on September 25th!  (Lagos, Sept 11th & Abuja, Sept. 18th). 

God aligns my path.  I smiled, laughed and even had a song in my heart to see this all come together.

These opportunities appeared suddenly in the most unexpected way!  I've been envisioning these types of openings happening but had no idea how they'd come about or when.  I realize that it is essential to persevere through the dark times, through the times when you can't yet see the fruits of your labor.  And, even when you think nothing is happening, things are developing.   The Divine IS conspiring with you.  Will you have the faith?

I'm working hard right now on a book called Clarify Your Purpose & Live It!  It's a short, but powerful book to help people look deep within and find what they truly want in life.  I can't wait to release it and I hope you will buy a copy when it's ready.

I love life.  I love people.  I can't imagine doing anything other than living my purpose of helping people reach their full potential.  I am simply amazed and overjoyed this week at the way the Divine works with us when we are willing to overcome our fears and stay steadfastly focused on our calling.

(If you want to hear me speak in Africa, check out http://www.dayoisrael.com/ to reigster.  I will also speak with this tour in NYC on November 6th.)
