There are so many things to complain about in life…finances, your job, your kids, etc. And, while there may be legitimate reasons to complain about your situation, complaining will never make it better. Think about some of the most profound stories you read in the news. Or the most moving memoirs where the “victim” […]
I love rainbows. Ever since I was a kid, I was obsessed with them. I would literally just draw them on anything I could get my hands on. I was in love with all the colors and the idea of finding a little pot of gold at the end. The most gorgeous […]
Self-love and self-esteem are closely bonded to each other. When you don’t believe in your abilities, your value or your worth, your mind cannot respond in the opposite way. Your mind will go in the direction of your dominant thoughts. If you don’t feel “good enough”, you will likely live a life to […]

It can be very easy to fall into a rut of procrastination. But it’s also easy to tell yourself you are not actually a procrastinator. Serial procrastinators tell themselves five lies. And maybe, we all need to see if we fit into any of these five lies. If the Lie Fits… […]

Yet, putting those dreams into action, taking conscious efforts to achieve their realization, is another story. What are your dreams? For today, tomorrow, 10 […]
You know I’m a fan of lists, but this list is a bit different than the average one. It’s the Unhappiness Laundry list. How is it different? Well, unlike things like “buy stamps”, “go to the dry cleaners” or “pick up eggs”, the items on this list are intangible. They are internal, and […]
I had a great reminder today. I was talking with a friend, about the direction of her life, and it seemed not really to be going the way she planned. But then the coolest thing happened. After some self-reflection, she realized that she had total control of her life and where she wants […]
Thoughts have power. They drive our decisions, our goals, our dreams, and ultimately, our lives. Are you living the life you’ve always dreamed of living? If not, then what were you thinking? What were you telling yourself all these years to get where you are today? Did you believe you were worthy […]

Burch tells a story of the early days in her career where the word “ambition” used to annoy her. In her words, it was often given as a […]
I talk a lot about purpose on my blog because I truly believe it is the most important thing an individual can discover for themselves. When it comes to purpose, I believe we all have something unique and individual to contribute to the world. How you impact the lives of others and leave a legacy […]
Your imagination is a powerful tool that can reveal your purpose to you, simply by looking inside. Once you know your purpose, you can use your imagination even further to make it a reality. You will be able to plan for the future and set goals. At one time or other, things like cars, planes, […]

This year was full of highs and I learned a lot. I’m glad you’ve been along for the journey, whether that means becoming a published author, finally putting your pen to paper or stepping into your greatness in some other meaningful way. Before the year comes to a close, I wanted to reflect back on […]
