Inspirational Quote
I love this quote: "Between stimulus and response, there is
a space. In that space lies our freedom
and power to choose our response. In our
response lies our growth and freedom."
Victor Frankl
Remember this the next time you’re frustrated by a difficult
situation or responding to a “stimulus” that has your
blood boiling.

Food for Thought – Where's
Your Motivation?
As I started writing this month’s ezine, I realized that the
life (Food for Thought) and career (Career Corner) articles are related.
HA, isn’t that nice! I always thought motivation was something
you are either born with or not; that some people are naturally more
motivated than others. Perhaps this is the case to a certain extent,
but I’ve found over the years that motivation CAN be developed
and inspiration found and tapped into. One good way to find motivation
is to uncover your passions and tune into your values. As you discover
and get involved in things you are passionate about, and choose to
make decisions and live your life in alignment with your values, the
results can be amazing! I find that when I engage in activities I
am passionate about (horseback riding, traveling) on a regular basis,
the passion spills into other areas of my life and keeps me motivated
to move forward and succeed in those other areas.
Instead of waiting for motivation or inspiration to hit you, seek
it out. Create a plan to incorporate activities that you are passionate
about into your everyday life in ways that are inspiring and fulfilling
to you. Commit to doing them on a regular basis. Discover what motivates
you and think of ways to use that motivation in various areas of your
life. On the flip side, if you spend too much time in areas where
you have low motivation, you are most likely resigning yourself to
frustration and mediocrity, for without high motivation, you are probably
not trying as hard as you could and therefore not doing your best.
So I have two questions to leave you with: what is one thing you can
you do on a regular basis (starting now!) that you are passionate
about? And what is one thing that you’re not jazzed about that
you can let go? Find your motivation and use it to create a more rewarding
life!
Career Corner – Tips
for choosing a more fulfilling career path
People often ask me, “How do you find your passion?” and
then they ask “How do you translate that into a career?” Both
are big questions that require some individual coaching and introspection.
Here are a few questions that I use with clients, and some others
I like that appeared in a recent Body
and Soul magazine
article. Your answers will help you begin
to uncover your passion(s).
- Imagine you were meant to teach others 3 things in life. What
would
they be?
- If you were allowed to
make one powerful, positive change
in the world,
large or small, what
would it be?
- What personal challenges have
you overcome and how might you
help
others do the same?
- If you could try three
new different jobs over the next
year, what would
they be?

how to translate it into a career, contact
