Do you remember when you were a kid and thought that you could be anything you wanted to be?
An astronaut? A Fireman? A Doctor?
I wanted to be Mary Tyler Moore, or “That Girl.” Both of my idols were young, single, happy women who lived and worked in the “big city.” So what did I do when I graduated from college?
I took my young, single self to Manhattan and began my career.
Goal achieved.
But, like so many others, I lost my ability to dream, or create a new goal for myself. Life got in the way. There were jobs to do. Errands to run. Bills to pay. It wasn’t until my life completely blew up that I was jolted awake.
What the heck was I doing? Where did I want to end up?
I wanted to be an ENTREPRENEUR. I wanted to CHANGE THE WORLD.
When I forget that I can change the world, I watch this video.

Entrepreneurs can be anyone… including YOU.
Seize the opportunity to create the job you’ve always wanted.
Help heal the economy.
Make a difference.
But, most importantly, remember when you were a kid,
When everything was within your reach…
Then say to yourself, quietly, with DETERMINATION,
I sat down about an hour ago, fully intending to write this post. In the past hour, I’ve…
Checked my Facebook page,
Met With a new associate
Strolled over to my husband’s office to say “good morning,”
Answered a message on Skype,
Checked out my Empower Network “Pending Commissions,”
Called a friend,
Berated myself mentally for not finishing my meditation this morning
Cut up some cantaloupe and ate it
Checked my email
Do you ever experience this lack of power of focus and concentration?
I know… everyone does.
Nothing get’s done when we’re lacking focus. A lot of “busy work” takes place, but nothing actually gets accomplished.
The Power of Focus
But, here’s the best part. You can decide to take advantage of the power of focus right now. All it takes is that decision to “move forward, confidently in the direction of your dreams,” (Thoreaux).
An Inspiring Example of the Power of Focus

Where is your focus? Is it moving you toward creating something as spectacularly moving as this example of beauty and a feather?
I would argue that your life is a thing of beauty. Live it. Live it large. But, concentrate, focus on moving toward the best life you can, because, as far as I know, this is the one life we have, so we better make it a great one.
Love,

Every Monday, I share something that inspires me. Check out the video below for a reunion story that will bring a tear to your eye!
I want you to know, that YOU inspire me. Wherever you are in the world or in your life, I know that you are facing challenges.
However, no one faces more challenges than the people that stand up for our freedom.
Here in the United States, today is the day that we honor those that have lived and died for our freedom.
Regardless of your political opinions, or where are you from, all of us have a huge debt to pay to those that have given up their time, their health, or even their lives for our freedom.
Living a life where the “money thing” is taken care of isn’t any different. It requires standing up for what we believe in. It requires a “fight” (work). It requires sacrifice of time. It requires risk, strategy and leadership.
If you are looking to win your own personal war for freedom, let’s fight together.
