Excuses are The Enemy 06/06/2020

Excuses are The Enemy "Are Excuse's your enemy? The definition of an excuse is to seek to defend or justify a fault - to absolute oneself of accountability, self justify Ninty-nine percent of the failures come from people that make excuses -George Washington Carver You can have excuses or success but you can't have both. What do you choose? One of my biggest reasons I start making excuses is I am looking at the end goal or result. I am learning to breakdown into tiny steps I can take. Write down my excuse for the fears I have or who I am blaming for the reason I am not going for what I truly want in my life. What is a tiny step that you can take today that will move you toward your goal and start eliminating those excuses for why you are doing nothing? Do it and celebrate it!

Finding Your Voice is Your Magic -- Collette James 05/06/2020

Finding Your Voice is Your Magic -- Collette James How do you find your inner voice? Is that voice coming from a place of fear or love? When it comes from a place of love your inner voice is your intuition, your magic, your PGS - Personal Guidance System. When it comes from fear it brings on feelings of shame, lack and resentment. Join Karen and Colette as they share how their inner voice shows up in their lives. “Don’t let the noise of others opinions drown our your inner voice.” - Steve Jobs “The most courageous act is still too think for yourself aloud.” Coco Chanel “Wisdom is far, far stronger the fear, but while fear gladly forces itself upon you, wisdom will do nothing of the kind. We can’t be victims of wisdom. Wisdom must be chosen.” Martha Beck “Speak your truth, even if your voice shakes.” Source unknown Tiny Habits, The small changes that change everything - BJ Foggs, PHD /episode/index/show/karen/id/14306327
