Move forward from the heart.

Moving forward from the heart is about trust, faith and love. Too many times we talk ourselves out of the very thing that would make us happy. Taking away our dreams because of fear and doubt and not knowing where the first or last step will lead us.

I say go for it. Live in the moment of being free of what ifs, who’s and cares. Allow yourself to live, learn, heal and let go. To me that is what life is about, finding and creating yourself to fit your dream.

Learn to listen and trust yourself. Take a moment to sit with your heart when crossroads appear and honestly ask it, what should I do.

And when that beautiful and powerful mind your decides to sneak in for advice, ( a tool that is good for calculating and planning) just softly remind it, that it’s not your turn to talk.

I hope you spend this day and every day moving forward from the heart.

Sincerely your Dream Pusher

The best place to be…

The best place to be, is in the moment of gratuity. It’s the one place where the worries of the past and future have no existence or power to control.

I believe when we let go of what we cannot control, we let in a gift that is more powerful than we can imagine. It is the gift of peace that allows us to relax in a unknown comfort that everything will be all right, because in this moment, everything is.

‎~ Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.~
Oprah Winfrey

Make your Dreams come to you.

Many of us would want nothing more than to make our dreams come true. But what does it really take to make that happen, to wake up one day living the life of your dreams?

Is it trust? Yes.

Is it love? Yes, that too.

Is it faith? Absolutely!

I believe it is a little bit of a lot of it all! It’s having that combination that keeps you going, believing, receive insight, strength, and confidence every step of the way. It’s about never understanding what it means to give up, because this is the only way of life that you know and makes sense when following in the foot steps of your dreams.

Like Magic

Something magical happens when you give your Dream a voice, it becomes tangible, you begin to meet people that give you helping hands and insights to the next step.

When you give your dream a voice, something beautiful happens. You transform into a new being of love, trust and faith that moves you into new discoveries, heights and understandings.

When you give your dream a voice, dreams are no longer possibilities, they are a way of life.

I lost my sock

While doing laundry and thinking about ways to keep the motivation alive for people, I couldn’t help but wonder and laugh how motivation and socks have a lot in common. Ever done laundry and realize afterwards that a sock has gone missing? Till this day, I’ll never know how that happens. Are you wondering where I’m going with this?  It seems to be the same for motivation, ever feel  motivated one day and it’s gone the next? Where did it go?

The question we should really ask ourselves is, “where did we go?”  The answer is away. Too often, we steer away from the very thing that motivated us to begin with. Once we reach our high to make moves, we lose sight of repeating the same steps that brought us to be motivated in the 1st place.

“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.” Zig Ziglar

Staying motivated is dedication and once you make it a habit, the easier it becomes apart of your life style. It should be as mindless as brushing your teeth.

Helpful tips:

1. Make a reminder note to stay motivated and stick it where it will get notice. Not on your phone or on your computer, but SMACK IN YOUR FACE!

2. Doesn’t have to take long and you should have to dread it. Make it apart of your schedule and dedicate 5 minutes a day at the same time each day to read or listen to something that will encourage your motivation. Buy or borrow a self help book on motivation or my favorite, success. Listening to audio or a free pod cast will also work.

3. My favorite. AFFIRMATIONS! Yes, choose a short affirmation that describes your focus or intentions. Quotes, bible passages or note to self also works.

The key to motivation is doing it daily. So the next time you feel unmotivated, remember motivation starts and comes from you!
