Muse Upon This:"If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves."~ Thomas Alva EdisonWhere in your life are you ready to live up to your capabilities? Are you ready to step up your relationships? Your career? Your parenting? Your listening? Your spiritual life? Are you ready to astound yourself? MuseKaren posted this one awhile ago. She ended her post with "I dare you."

Muse Upon This:“It is never too late to be what you might have been.”~ George Eliot I am deeply inspired by vibrant, older adults; people who continue living, learning, and experiencing life long past when others have stopped “trying”. My parents are two of those people. On the eve of their seventieth birthdays, they are currently skiing down a mountain in Colorado. Or, at least, they were

Muse Upon This:“Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of that which you really love.”~ RumiAhhhh...Rumi. One of my favorites poets. Interesting how thoughts from the 13th century can still resonate with us today. So, what do you really love? Do you know yet? (It is okay if you don’t. Just putting your thoughts on it today will help you get closer to discovering what “it” is

Muse Upon This:“What we see depends mainly on what we look for.” --John LubbockStop. Read the quote again. Do you see how it applies in your life? Are you currently focused on the 8% unemployment or the 92% employment? Are you looking for the 17 things your mate does well or the 1 thing that drives you crazy? Are you appreciating the love your kids send you? Or noticing the mess they left

Muse Upon This:“We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own.”~ Ben SweetlandLovely, isn’t it? Who’s torch in your life can you light? Who needs a quick email, a phone message, or just a loving thought sent to them? Who needs a gentle reminder that they are special, that what they do matters, and that you appreciate there presence on this earth? Let them know...

Muse Upon This:Have a daily "Feel Good Moment"Doesn’t take long to feel good (or, at least better). Just 5 minutes will make a difference. Really. So, today marks the start of another section of this enewsletter: The Feel Good Moment. Each week I will share a link for something to help you feel better. The link will never be more than 5 minutes and I will put it out on the blog, too, so you

Muse Upon This:Keep Your Duck Index at 7 or AboveOne of my favorite yoga teachers is Judith Lasater. She has a quirky sense of humor and a lovely way to describe being conscious in the world. She firmly believes we need to feel good about all we do so our actions are full of love. She has what she calls her “Duck Index”. (By the way, I am not sure why it is called the “Duck Index.”) Her Duck

Muse Upon This:If you want something to change, something has to change...I am sure there is something in your life you are ready to change. Something that you know keeps you from having a life that you know you are capable of having. Maybe it is a habit it is time to release or one it is time to embrace. We often want things to be different; we feel ready to change and can see it in the

Muse Upon This:“I AM....”What? What are you? HOW are you? “I am always late.”“I am disorganized.”“I am waiting for _________ to be done to be content.”“I am irritated by traffic.”“I am afraid of the economy.”These “I ams...” write the story of our life and, ironically, they usually aren’t ours. They are all unintended gifts from those in authority when we were kids. They are the “I ams...” of

Muse Upon This:Are you waiting to make the “right” decision?In my coaching practice, I find my clients are often stymied in their life because they are searching for the “right” answer. What is the “right” decision? The one that makes everything perfect? The one that has NO problems or issues attached to it? Do you REALLY want that dull of a life? Really? Aren’t the bumps in the road what

Muse Upon ThisNever make a decision from fear...Of course, the positive corollary is always make a decision from love. Think of how we feel when fear sets in and we rush to make a decision (or rush to avoid making a decision.) When you feel the specter of fear, stop, take three deep breaths and step away from the situation. Do what you need to do to feel better. You don’t even need to feel

Muse Upon This:When you illuminate yourself, you give peoplepermission to illuminate themselves.”~ MichaelWhat helps you come alive? What feels really, really, deep-down good to your core? Have you ever considered how feeling good at YOUR core affects OTHERS at THEIR core? This quote changes the paradigm around taking care of yourself. And doesn’t the word, “illuminating” seems so much more

Muse Upon This:Is it time to shape your life?As the Buddha said, “As an irrigator guides water to his fields, as an archer aims an arrow, as a carpenter carves wood, the wise shape their lives.” Our life often seems to happen by “accident”, falling into one job or relationship or physical shape and just staying there out of habit. Where in your life are you still doing things by habit? Is it

Muse Upon This:“What if you had no obligations?Stick with me if your initial reaction was “but that is so irresponsible!” I am not saying get rid of your obligations, I am encouraging you to shift your paradigm around things you see as obligations. Do you know what some synonyms of “obligation” are? Duty, Task, Job, Onus, Liability, Requirement, and then this beauty, Burden. Can I just say, “

Muse Upon This:"Remember, you have the capacity to choose. Choose life! Choose love! Choose health! Choose happiness!" (Joseph Murphy)Yep, you can choose! And a great place to start is in your New Year's Resolutions. As we move into the season of resolutions, set a positive intention for the new year. (I prefer “intention” over “goal”. “Intention” feels more as if it comes from spirit and “

Muse Upon This“My real role in life is to suit up and show upand then turn the results over to God.”-Unknown Are you fully showing up everywhere in your life? Are you playing full-on? Are you really suiting up and showing up? Where are you holding back? What excuses, or “Good Stories” have you created to help yourself feel better about not doing what you know in your heart you are capable of

Catch the wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”--Mark TwainWhat is something you have always wanted to do? Something you might have admitted only to your journal?

I will gratefully receive all gifts that life has to offer me. Each time I meet someone, I will silently wish them happiness, joy, and laughter.” (Deepak Chopra, The Seven Laws of Spiritual Success) I love the

Muse Upon This:“Your mind must be like a parachute – it’s of no use at all unless it opens up.”James MurphySo, what are you doing to keep your mind open? Is it open? When was the last time you challenged your beliefs? Did you even think that your beliefs can (or should) be challenged? (You can read more about what I think about beliefs here...) What are you doing to open your parachute?

My parents have begun gifting their children with our dreams days. (Fabulous, eh?) The best part has been in the deciding what that is, what would be the most amazing experience for me? My husband

We tend to live much too unconsciously day-to-day with days flowing into each other, weeks flowing into weeks, months into months, etc. until we realize many days have passed that were unremarkable, unmemorable, and very much the same.

Muse Upon This:How do you know what you want?“Some people say they don’t know what they want.They’re lying.You always know what you want. You may not want to admit it, thought, not even to yourself.When you state what you want, you then either have to start making it happen or you have to start making excuses for it not happening.Sometimes it’s just easier to say you don’t know what you want.But

Yes, it is true. One Muse responded, “I’d wear a bikini!” Although it was a bit tongue-in-cheek, it affected me. I realized I was afraid of wearing a bikini. Then a friend told me, “I once saw a woman on the beach who was overweight with stretch marks wearing one. She owned that bikini. She was fabulous!” And I realized I wanted to feel that comfortable in my own skin and I was going to!

Muse Upon This:What would you do right now if you weren’t afraid?Interesting questions, isn’t it? How many of you have even considered that fear is an option? No one has the same fear. To me that says that it is possible to not be afraid of whatever I am afraid of. The interesting thing about fear is it keeps us stuck, really stuck in our current state of being. We don’t move forward in the

Muse upon this:"When would now be the right time?"James Arthur RayWe all tend to put things off, "I'll start writing my novel when I have time." I'll start to exercise when I buy some equipment." "I'll work on my relationship tomorrow." What do you really want to do in your life? When will you finally do it? So, when would now be a good time?

So, next week the Muses and I will be creating the vision for our company. As preparation, I am asking them to answer the following questions:What does success look like to me? To me, success means: What is it I love to do that lives at the heart of my dream business? My dream business is a vehicle that allows me to do:What feelings do I want to experience as a result of my dream business?

I challenged all the Muses to do one thing this month to deepen living their values. (You can see a list of each of our values here.) How are they doing? Let's ask them... What are your values? Not sure? Think about what helps you feel good on a deep, spiritual level. Really core values are what help you feel more like your genuine, authentic self. You just feel good, joyful, and excited
