Just because I’m a coach, doesn’t mean that the things I know, I can keep practicing 24/7. Recently I have been struggling with some relationship issues, so I got a bit off center in analyzing. When in this state I am not in my personal purpose. Noticing the state I was in, I used my toolbox and again became grounded in my purpose. This reminded me why having a personal purpose is so important to me.

Having a personal purpose helps me to stay focused on what I am doing now that aligns with my purpose and stay out of reaction to the environment around me. Events outside of my control are always happening, with my kids, with the community and in life. What I can always take control of is my response. When I am grounded in my personal purpose I am much more effective in responding in a conflict with a win/win response.

When grounded in my purpose I am much more patient, calm and positive. When I am grounded in my circumstance I can react impatiently and rashly. I create greater results that are aligned with my values, my vision and my purpose when I am grounded in my purpose. My life is greatly enhanced by being grounded in purpose. Yesterday I met with a lady to design a purpose workshop in the Palm Desert/ La Quinta Area. If you are interested in taking on a personal purpose or further clarifying your purpose or vision please join us… it will be fun!

BE -Purposeful

Listening to an interview with Montel Williams this morning I was struck by his resiliency. Montel was diagnosed with MS seven years ago and has begun LIVING with MS, while not letting MS dominate his life. He is a model for others who have struggles to overcome both physically and emotionally. His new book has many tips on emotionally owning your own happiness.

My biggest take away from this interview in Success Magazine’s CD companion was the thought that “I alone own who I am.” Montel said this about creating his life, and living his life with the events he has been given. He is a personal example that it is not what happens to us in life it is our response to what happens that governs how it will impact our life.

Montel says that he doesn’t care what people think of him, only what he thinks… he’ll worry what other people think about who he is later down the line. Right now he is in ownership of all that he is and does with his life from his radio shows, books and TV shows and he chooses to be an inspiration to others. For Montel it has been a journey of self discovery, and wellness practices that impact the world. Check out his books on wellness at Amazon.com
