Do you have negative naysayers in your life — people who may be trying to discourage you from pursuing your goals and dreams?

How do you handle this type of negative criticism, so that you can maintain your happiness and positive thinking, and keep moving forward toward what it is that you would truly love?

Any time you seek to stretch beyond your comfort zone, and set a great goal for yourself or take some new kind of positive action toward a dream that you have, there will often be people in your…

Have you ever wondered if it’s selfish to pursue your dreams?

The answer to this question is, it depends! It CAN be selfish to pursue your dream, if your dream is only about you.

But most dreams, even the ones that may seem selfish to you, actually DO benefit the world around you!

Let me explain:

After investing the last 40+ years studying the spiritual side of success, and the last 30+ years coaching tens of thousands of people in the art and science of transformation, I’ve found that every…

Highly successful people will tell you that, rather than try and reinvent the wheel when it comes to transforming your dreams into your reality, follow in the footsteps of someone who has already achieved what you want to achieve!

This week, I’ve asked several of the world’s top teachers of transformation 3 very important questions about:

• how to overcome fear
• deal with “negative naysayers” 
• making a difference in the lives of others

If you have a desire to create a life you truly love living and…

Many of us create our lives by default…

We allow our habitual ways of thinking, the circumstances and conditions that we find ourselves in, and the expectations of others, to dictate the choices we make and the results in our lives… without stopping to ask if what we are creating is what we would truly love.

Years, sometimes even decades, may pass by until one day, we hear that “still, small voice within” whispering to us that there’s so much more to life than what we’ve been experiencing.

Elephants are trained to haul and carry tremendous weight — like trees, rock and sand — that, in some cases, is unmanageable by heavy equipment.

Farmers begin training the elephants when they are very young to do these jobs, rather than when they are fully grown.

I was on vacation with my grandchildren in Cabo San Lucas, when they suggested we rent four-wheeled, all-terrain vehicles.

I will admit, I’m more of a read-a-book-by-the-pool type of person. I’m not a big fan of motorcycles, and though my children explained that ATVs were different because they had four wheels instead of two, that did nothing to assuage my fears.

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”

-Mahatma Gandhi

What does this mean? How does it embody the power of positive thinking… and how does it instruct us on finding happiness?

We think, we speak words, and we take action. But when our words and actions are not in alignment, we are essentially teaching ourselves and others that we can’t be trusted.

In other words, our thoughts, words and actions lack integrity. This can erode our sense of trust in ourselves, which in…

Do you need to find true happiness in your life?

Our lives are made up of days, and our days are literally in our hands.

We all have 24 hours available to us each day, but what we do with this time is completely up to us.

Most heart-centered business owners don’t start out looking to make a pile of money.

Instead, their drive to build a business and serve clients comes from a calling they feel to help others.

As someone who is interested in learning how to start a business, or taking your existing business to the next level of success, chances are you feel this calling, too.

But choosing a career in which you are outward focused and in service to others doesn’t mean that you have to earn less money.

Have you ever felt weighed down by your past?

As though no matter what you did, you can’t seem to shake the hurt, pain or the negative thought patterns borne of some past experience, and move forward to your dreams?

It can feel like you’re stuck in a pessimistic loop, unable to move forward toward greater happiness, joy and fulfillment. If your past is holding you back from creating a life you truly love living, remember that you are far more powerful than anything you may have faced or are currently are facing.
