Excellence, Integrity, and Standards
Human beings are drawn to excellence, integrity and high standards. We know it when we see it. We are naturally attracted to these qualities. They are easy words to say, and sometimes harder words to live, especially consistently. Yet, when we do live these words, there are great rewards -- externally and internally. People admire and trust those who exude these qualities, and want to associate with them and buy their products and services. Yet, perhaps the biggest reward of all is a "deeper and more respectful connection" to ourselves, and a greater sense of personal power and fulfillment. Sometimes the short-term pain is worth the long-term gain.

WAKE UP Your Life! By Doris Roper
Are you a woman in a transformational stage of your life? Have people told you that your life needs some major changes? Do you feel that things in your life need a change? Are you facing a major change in your life because of illness, death of a loved one, divorce etc? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are a person who needs to read this book. It is geared toward women, but men definitely can benefit from the advice.

The Amazing Power of Deliberate Focus
Isn't it amazing how masterful we can become at denial, procrastination, and avoidance, constantly making excuses for why we aren't accomplishing the goals WE SAY WE WANT! A lot of energy gets wasted in this department. Usually there is far more talking and not enough doing. Far from criticizing, I believe many people generally have good intentions. Though it's maddening when I hear someone say it... I just don't have time... I honestly believe they think they don't have enough time or can't have it all.

If you suffer from the battle of distractions, you may take twice as long to reach your goals. This part is obvious. But what about the impact on your personal health, your energy and your level of confidence? What else can we learn from today's authors, and when we pay attention to our own bodies?

Your Voice of Choice
I am a voice specialist. I am a voice specialist because I believe the world needs to hear from all of us. Due to stage fright and confidence issues- some of us are not getting our message heard! I just professionally audited an acting class in Los Angeles by a colleague who is one of the world’s most famous acting teachers. His clients win Academy Awards. Today he was teaching a class of future stars in the making. The students were exciting actors with top notch talents and abilities, they chose challenging material, and had given lots of committed thought to their acting intentions and character development.

Right Now
I often hear the past determines who you are and the future goals we set for ourselves determine what actions we take right now. It has nothing to do with past or future. It all has to do with 'right now'.

Creativity is a Powerful Way of Thinking and Being
I often hear people say, "I’m not a creative person!" In truth, as humans each of us is inherently creative by virtue of being part of Nature - the essence of creativity itself. I believe to be creative means to use what comes naturally to you with the responsibility to share that gift with the world. Uncovering your unique gift and learning how to tap into your creative energy are defining steps that allow for the release of ideas and desires that further enhance your ability to create, resulting in the potential of living a fulfilling and meaningful life. Understanding the potential of your unique creativity, and then actively and consciously creating leads to greater success in manifesting the results you want for your life. If we are all naturally creative as human beings, what holds us back?

Success and Fear
What you fear has no power until you give it yours. When we fear something we are handing our personal power over to that which we fear. When we’re afraid of circumstances, situations or loss, we’re really giving our power away to the circumstance, situation or the loss. So, whether we’re facing health issues, the bank manager, a hungry tiger or an uncertain tomorrow, we only become powerless when we surrender our power.
