Improving the S.M.A.R.T. Goal Acronym

This video clip about SMART goals is from a goal setting presentation I gave to the Job and Career Program at the Russell Library in Middletown, CT.

The SMART goal system is a great way to define and clarify your goals – but I believe that the traditional definition of SMART goals may actually be holding you back and keeping you from achieving your big goals and dreams. But by making a simple change, you can improve your chances of success.

If you want to change your life for the better, you have to take away all limits to your success. Don’t limit yourself by insisting that your goals be realistic. Where would the world be if everyone stuck to ‘realistic’ goals?

Stretch yourself!

Can you attract love with the law of attraction?

Can you attract love with the law of attraction? Is it possible? Can the love of your life be drawn to you like magic using the laws of attraction? Over and over again I am asked this question. More than money, more than health, more than the jobs and houses and expensive toys, LOVE is the one desire that has the most confusion attached to it. Everyone wants it, and yet, those that have it seem unable to tell you how you can get it yourself. I want to end the confusion and show you an easy way to fill your life with the love that you desire.

So, can you attract love? You absolutely can, but only if you dig deep into the core of the attraction process.

The answer lies in your beliefs. If you believe that you can attract love, then that will become your experience. On the other hand, if you doubt that you have the ability to attract love, you will always struggle in that area.

In some ways, attracting love is no different than attracting anything else into your life. As long as you are (read more…)

Law of Attraction Mistakes

Are you making any of these 7 common law of attraction mistakes? While these aren’t the only mistakes you can make, they are the most common ones that can keep you from truly manifesting the life you want.

In order to fully tap into your power to manifest or create that life you really want, you have to be sure that you are living and acting in alignment with the laws of the universe. If you are feeling stuck at any point in the process, it is probably because you are struggling with one or more of these 7 law of attraction mistakes:

1. Not being consistent – Being consistent in your efforts is the number one thing that you can do to improve your results as you begin applying the principles in the law of attraction. This means developing new habits and new ways of looking at your life. Success will come from the small daily repetitions of the thoughts and actions that you decide are worth taking. Just as exercising only when you ‘feel good’ will never produce excellent health, working on your dreams only when you have time or when you feel good will never change your life. The law of attraction is at work in your life all day, every day. The more consistent you are in what you do, the better the results you get will be. (read more…)

How to Motivate Yourself

Do you know how to motivate yourself? Or does your motivation waver depending upon what is going on around you?

Learning how to motivate yourself is an essential skill you must master if you are serious about making changes in your life. I get asked all the time, “How do I motivate myself?”

The biggest problem most people have when it comes to getting and staying motivated is that life gets in the way of their dreams. Has that ever happened to you? Have you ever gotten up in the morning and felt fired up about your goals and dreams, only to have that fire dampened by the events of your day?

It happens because you switched your perspective. You allowed something else to take center stage in your mind. You allowed the daily drama of your life to override your priorities and as a result (read more…)

Dr. Wayne Dyer - Wishes Fulfilled: Mastering the Art of Manifesting

I am so excited! Yesterday morning I went online and ordered Wayne Dyer’s new book, “Wishes Fulfilled – Mastering the Art of Manifesting” and now I can’t wait for it to arrive.

I have been a huge Wayne Dyer fan for many years. In fact, it was one of his early books, “You’ll See It When You Believe It”, that really inspired me to dive deeper into the world of self improvement and led me to where I am today, spreading the same message of hope and possibility!

Like many of his previous books, “Wishes Fulfilled” was also turned into a PBS special which is currently airing on PBS stations around the country. Check the PBS website to find it on in your area, it is definitely worth watching. Donna and I had the chance to watch it recently, and I loved it! About five minutes into the show, I knew I had to get the book as soon as possible. I love listening to Wayne. He is always so relaxed and at peace that his message of inner peace comes through loud and clear. The man radiates peace. His presence is powerful, yet calming.

Donna and I saw him speak in New York City a while back and I was (read more…)
