Life Power Tip
If you want to achieve a goal you have set, the most crucial part is to DECIDE to manifest it. Repeatedly I have seen evidence that not only people, yet also the universe itself, can sense a lack of commitment to a goal. If your consciousness is divided against itself, do you think it will commit all its internal resources to your goal? Will your subconscious give you all the energy and creativity it possibly could, or will it hold back?
Action
Practise relaxation techniques to help calm your days.
Challenge
Keep a journal to remind yourself that you are on a mission to get to a place of purpose.
Quote
My barn burned down, and now I can see the moon. -Masahide
Clearing
Have a kitchen spot for lunch-making supplies, and another for breakfast.
Question
What can you see about any setbacks, which may actually benefit you?
Affirmation
I choose to always believe I am heading in the right direction.
Uplifting Extra
You’ve probably told yourself at some point, “I just need to be tougher on myself”. It sounds sensible, however what if it’s the very reason you keep running in circles? Harsh self-criticism feels like discipline, yet all it really does is drain your energy and crush your confidence. The truth is, if beating yourself up worked, you’d already be flawless. I’ve written a short piece about why self-compassion actually creates more resilience, motivation and courage than the harshest inner critic ever could. You’ll see how the science backs it up and why a kinder voice in your head leads to bigger results in real life.

More inspired self improvement every day!
It’s difficult to be inspired if you’re stuck in a negative state. Inspiration is not just a flash of vision, it’s a motivation that births creativity.
People who get inspired are usually the ones more eager to jump into a project and stick with it. Inspired people have greater confidence not to doubt themselves.
Every day, seek out personal moments of clarity, increasing your awareness of new possibilities that surround you.

In the words of Oliver Wendell Holmes…
“One’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions”.
One favorite saying at my desk, is…

Sometimes, you’ll find me recommending or presenting the same product(s) more than one time.
When repeating a training or using a tool that I’ve used or come across before, often I’ll “see” something brand new or have a fresh insight/perspective, that I might not have picked up on earlier. In that moment, perhaps I am finally “ready” to REALLY hear and receive its message or lesson.
It is not unlike seeing a movie for the second time and realizing that I’d not remembered seeing a particular scene, from the first viewing. As Nelson Mandela once said…
“There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.”
When you see something that has already been presented to you once before, then I invite you to revisit it anyhow.
Give up any judgement about whether it is “good” or “bad”. It JUST IS and you are alive, so you’re in luck. You get to choose, again!
I love these words from Gelett Burgess…
“If in the last few years you haven’t discarded a major opinion or acquired a new one, check your pulse. You may be dead.”
Tens of thousands of people, from many countries & backgrounds, receive Forward Steps emails. Everyone is at different stages of their life journey, everyone is looking for different things and experiencing different things.
Some of us learn best by hearing, others are more visual and yet others love to gather information by reading. This makes for a phenomenal challenge, in satisfying everybody’s individual needs and preferences. Even should we assume “that nothing is impossible” – this challenge gives an awfully good impression of “impossible”!
We are all different. Seldom one solution fits all. I provide a vast array of resources (hundreds, in fact) to cater for a multi-dimensional audience and I always recommend you remember this quote…
Absorb what is useful, discard what is not and add what is uniquely your own. -Bruce Lee Share on XIn Lak’ech Ala K’in,
