Life is busy. Very busy.
Sometimes we need a dose of inspiration, a shoulder to cry on (or someone to yell at!), or just to hear that someone else is going through the same thing.
Sometimes we need to re-examine our life and where we’re at.
Welcome to “Inspiration.”
Improve Your Life. How to Use Goals Vs. Systems. {Free Printable}
Last year, I read a mind-blowing concept. It was goals vs. systems. I heard it from two places. I don’t know who came up with it first…or if the idea has been around for ages, and they both just managed to enter into my world in the same month. Apparently, this concept has taken the […]
Transform Your Life: How to Build Confidence
I'm going to be straight-up honest with you. I didn't write this post about how to build confidence because I'm one of those people who stride through life with confidence. I wrote this post because I'm the opposite. Nothing I do is good enough. I don't particularly like myself most of the time. But I [...]
How to Resolve Useless Relationship Fights
Everyone who has been in a romantic relationship has argued at some point. Whether it's loud yelling and screaming (I hope not). Silent glares and sniffs of disdain (I'm guilty of this). Or rational, adult debate over someone's intentions or actions. Arguing is going to happen. But constant fighting can cause you to question your [...]
Self-Limiting Beliefs and How to Overcome Them
For some people, belief and confidence come easily. They seem to have that personality that anything seems possible. In most areas of my life, I'm one of them. I've rarely been handed a challenge and thought to myself "I can't do this." Instead, my mind automatically goes to "what do I need to learn to [...]
How to Be Persistent: The Secret of Success
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” - Calvin Coolidge persistence quote I’ve been reading [...]
How to Accept Criticism: 8 Things to Do When Receiving Criticism
God, this is embarrassing. I used to (12 years ago) drink too much. As in “do embarrassing things, say awful things, regret it in the morning” drink too much. I was self-medicating with alcohol . Then I was diagnosed as bipolar and put on medication. I stopped drinking. I even went to AA because it [...]
The Secret to Reaching Your Goals
I've always been goal-oriented. But it wasn't until I learned the secret that all the orientation paid off in actual achievements. What the secret? You need to have a roadmap to success. You need to start big- with yearly (or even 5-year goals) and then break it down. Below there is a video (and a [...]
How to Hear the Voice of God: 10 Ways
God gave me a rock. Seriously. Wait, let's back up a little bit. I have a very serious face. I've joked for years that I have "resting b*tch face"...but the truth is, I'm not always a happy person. Happiness and smiling doesn't come easily to me. Contentment, yes. But smiling and joy, no. While I [...]
8 Powerful Ways to Overcome Self-Doubt
Once, when I bent over once in 7th grade, my great-uncle made a “rrrriiiippppp” noise behind me. As if my behind were so massive it was going to rip out my jean skirt. I blushed bright red. I couldn't look my uncle or my grandfather (to whom he made the comment) in the face for [...]
