Day 1 - Finding Your Life Purpose
“Today is the first day of rest of your life” Charles Dederich. We start day 1 with Mr. Dederich’s quote purely because I do believe this is the first day of your real and designed life. And no – you don’t need to believe in a God, the Universe or fairies to read or participate in this course. Your beliefs are your own, and you can use them to help you on your exploration of self-discovery anyway you want.
Kellie WynnPublished 6 years ago in MotivationHow Creating a Vision Board Inspired Me to Dream
Lame and cliché title, I know. BUT! Hear me out, (please). A few years ago, my father and I were sitting in front of the television while I was visiting and, as per usual, we weren’t doing much. We weren’t really talking either, things have always been awkward between us so we just stay quiet most of the time. Anyway, I picked up the book he had laying on the coffee table, it read The Secret. I looked through the pages reading philosophical passages about this mysterious “Law of Attraction” and things like “The Law of Attraction is one of the most powerful laws in the universe. What you think about is what you bring about into your life. You can improve your life drastically by improving the thoughts that you dwell upon and the actions that you take.”
Anik MarchandPublished 6 years ago in MotivationLet It Go
In a clouded mental space due to a collection of overwhelmingly draining processes like overthinking, overworking, excessive self doubt, and continued little prickly stabs of everyday inconveniences; breathing seems nonexistent. Having a easy day is rare and you become this cynical mess of inner destruction.
Antoinette JonesPublished 6 years ago in MotivationNew Year to Be Who You Really Want to Be
First let me start by saying Happy New Year! It's been one hell of a year for a lot of us and we've made it through. Barely, but we've made it right? We don't want to get into 2018 with a list of regrets from things that we did or didn't do in the past 365 days. We all had our issues with stuff this year. Different debates and changes that we had no control over. Some of us have dealt with death over and over again this year. I know that I don't want to roll into another year with the same struggles of these past moments in life.
Friday VibesPublished 6 years ago in MotivationGoodbye 2017, Hello 2018
Everyone has New Year's resolutions. Most of the time, their resolution is never achieved, or they give up in a month or two. I have failed my resolutions for 2017. I wanted to lose weight, have a steady job, and have my own home. Yeah, the big dream I am sure many people out there want, as well. The problem is that, when we don't succeed at these goals, we tend to focus on the failure rather than the lessons we have learned during the struggle.
Melina EncarnacionPublished 6 years ago in MotivationLearning Who I Am
I've been looking back at 2017 as it ends, and I can see how big the year was. I started the year out on vacation with my husband in Colorado Springs. We went to the top of Pikes Peak for New Years Day. I couldn't have known just how symbolic that was going to be.
Jennifer McPeakPublished 6 years ago in MotivationWhat to Do in 2018!
2018 is at the doorstep (or already here, depending on when you read this), but what will you do to make the year count? You've thought about it, but then also thought about what's for lunch...and then Nom Nom Nom. It seems silly to waste another year with the same old same old. Let me introduce you to some MEGA-awesome things to learn OR do to make 2018 feel like an achievement!
Christina CagePublished 6 years ago in MotivationAuld Lang Sigh
The conclusion of each year brings about reflection over the events of the introduction and body, as well as speculation over the approaching year. Many of us resolve to lose weight, make more money, or re-invent our personal or professional lives in some other way. Nevertheless, too often, many of us bid the year farewell in the same exact position as we greeted it.
Sebastian Peter, Jr.Published 6 years ago in Motivation5 Things You Don't Have to Do by 25
There seems to be a lot of pressure put on people in this world to do great things in their lives. Perhaps it is because we have such endless access to information. Perhaps it is because the world desperately needs great people. Or perhaps we all just want to be remembered for something when our lives come to a close.

I've been there. I've been there lots of times, and it isn't fun. You have, too. You know what it's like to be doing everything you absolutely can and being just short of being enough. Like you are standing in an empty room with nothing but four walls and being asked to build a world with your bare hands. You're screaming for help in a world where the population is one. You're sitting in your car grasping the steering wheel wondering if it'd be easier to drive off a cliff. It feels like your God put in his two-week notice six months ago. Maybe it feels like you're running a race that's designed in a circle that goes round and round, and there is no prize at the finish line. Maybe not literally, but it feels like it.
Cassie CampbellPublished 6 years ago in MotivationSleep, Dream, Wake, Achieve
How many times have you thought of pursuing something you have a fierce passion for, but then accept that it's most likely something you'd never be able to achieve?
Tom GillattPublished 6 years ago in MotivationIt's All B.S. Until The Check Clears
Let me pull back the curtain a minute for a shot of inspiration, a dose of reality, and sort of a year-end summary as this is what I do behind the scenes.
