What Does Your Wheel of Life Look Life?

What Does Your Wheel of Life Look Life?

Take a second and reflect on this question: Do you think life is happening to you or are you making life happen for you?

Tough question. Nevertheless, I want you to take a good look at your life, analyze it and determine if you are drifting through life or are you intentionally pursuing the life you want. Are there any hiccups that you’re dealing with? Do you like where you’re at in life? When you made your five-year goals five years ago, is your current life a depiction of those goals manifested?

If all is well then great. If not, then let’s begin doing something to reach that optimal life that you want and deserve.

Have you ever heard of a concept called “drifting?” It’s when you go through life with no exact direction and you allow life to happen to you. It’s living life without intention, purpose and most importantly goals. If you’ve been allowing this to happen to you then this is the time to make some drastic changes. Life is short and we say that all time but it really is. You are not promised tomorrow or next year. What you have is this very moment and it’s time to take full advantage of every moment you have. The fact that you are breathing and reading this indicate that you have the power living inside of you to create your optimal life.

I don’t know why we’ve been led to believe that we have to settle for average or just good enough. Whatever happened to striving towards excellence and being extraordinary? There is an insurmountable power in living life with intention, purpose and being clear on the “why” you are doing something as opposed to allowing life to happen to you – which sometimes is an indication of feeling as though we are not worth more. My love, yes you are!!! You were created with a purpose and you have a legacy to live.

Have you taken the time to not only set your 1-year, 5-year and 10-year goals, but also take the necessary measures to accomplish those goals? Are you setting you goals but then that’s as far is it goes – set goals? Are you leading your life to it’s optimal place?

You are the leader of your life, not what circumstances come your way. You have the power to set goals AND see them through. And, I want to help you.

Below is an exercise I want to share with you to help you determine what areas of your life need a little bit more transforming than others. It’s called “The Wheel of Life” which is broken down into the following areas: career, finance, personal growth, health, family, spirituality, social life, and attitude.

Within each category, there are numbers between 1-10 which are there to help you rate your life in that category 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. After you rate your life in the corresponding category, you then color into the number you rated the category which is depicted in the wheel above.I want you to take this exercise for your life and do it seriously. If there are categories that are low, then it’s time to live with intention and fix it. Why is it low? What do you think you need to learn from this situation? What measures are you going to take to raise that category within the next (6) months or a year? If you have several low ranking categories, then attack one category at a time and start with the easiest one first and move on to the next.Once you’ve completed this exercise, I recommend downloading my free 5-Step Plan to Living in the Fab Life of Legacy & Purpose below to help you create a framework for your life to effectively accomplish new goals that coincide with your “wheel of life” exercise.

My loves, it’s time to live our lives with intention and purpose so we can fully embrace our legacies. You have the power living within you to take your life from average to optimal. The choice is yours.

Get Your Hopes Up!

What does hope really mean to you?

In my quiet time with God, I’ve been hearing the word “hope” over and over again. I didn’t pay it any attention because I thought I knew what hope was but then something told me to look up the definition of hope.

I learned this from pastor and spiritual leader, Joyce Meyer – sometimes we become so accustomed to a word that we downplay the meaning of that word. When we’re studying and on our path of emotional, mental and spiritual growth, we have to go back to square one sometimes and actually look up a word so we know the definition and how to apply that definition to our lives.

Hope means a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen or a feeling of trust.  Oftentimes when we say “I hope so”, there can be some doubt or fear in our hearts but we weren’t created to fear. You were created in the image of God so if God created you in His image then where would fear, doubt or lack of hope fit into that equation? I have a hard time believing that God fears or doubts.

What are you hoping for? Is the hope that you profess to have one that is filled with a hesitancy to believe that it will actually happen? When you start a new week or a new day or a new job, project or business deal, what are you expecting to come out of it?

I’ve heard to expect nothing but I believe that when you expect nothing, you’ll get nothing in return. If a farmer planted his crops and expected nothing in return then what’s the point of preparing the field? Your hope is tied to your expectation and it’s time to get your hopes up!

I will continue to encourage you to change the way you think and how you look at your current circumstances. I don’t care how a situation in your life may look, I want you to know that God is in control and He wants you to get your hopes up for His best. In my heart, I truly believe that there’s an abundance of favor, opened doors, new opportunities, new relationships, new money and blessings right around the corner coming to you.

You’ve probably been working at your dreams for years or you’ve been hoping for that one prayer to be answered and I KNOW that it’s on its way. Start getting prepared for those open doors. Don’t wait until you can see it to start getting ready, make sure you’re ready now! If you got the call tomorrow, you should be ready to go the next day because if you leave opportunity waiting too long at the door then it may go knocking on the next person’s door.

If you’ve lost hope then I want you take it back! There’s such an attack on our minds with false imaginations of our future. You the power to take it back – take back the hope for your dreams, finishing your education, your new home, your restored relationship, your financial increase, your new job, or your thriving business.

Are you ready to receive what’s on its way? You can start by being grateful in advance. Thank God in advance for whatever it is that you’ve been hoping for. Start to think of ways you can make room for it. Maybe you need to clean out your closet by giving to others so that you can make room for the new in your life. Maybe you should call creditors to determine how much you owe so you can start your payment plan next month because you’re about to get that new job.

Girls, it’s time to get out of your rut and get your hopes up!! Hope is just as important as faith. Faith is assurance that you’ll receive it and hope expects it!

Get the Master Your Goal-Getting & Manifest Your Vision – Digital Download!

“A dream without goals will remain a dream.” 

“Having no goals is like getting dressed up with no where to go.”

I love researching and learning about the strategies, habits, resources and tools of people who have managed to achieve their dreams. In my research, I’ve witnessed several common denominators and one of those is that all successful people are goal-driven and goal-oriented. These goals will essentially shape the actions that you’ll take in order to achieve your success.

Success is not something that you chase after, it’s something that you’ll begin to attract by the person you become. The person you become is consistent of your routine, character, habits, words you speak, actions and will shape your destiny.

There was a study done at Virginia Tech University in which students were asked whether or not they had goals. Most of the students said that they didn’t have goals, another group said that they did have goals but never really revisited them and then a very small group said that they had goals, written-down which were they reviewed often. The last group all went on to become millionaires – do you think that’s a coincidence?

We all want to become successful and you are to measure your own success. The world shows us one version of success, but true success is achieving a worthy goal. Success for you may be starting that non-profit empowering teen goals, success for another may be launching a tech company, success for another may be getting completely out of debt and buying a house. Whatever it is, I want you to understand that it’s possible!

That vision that you desire to manifest is one that only you can achieve, that’s why it was placed in your heart in the first place. I cannot achieve your vision for you but I can use what I’ve learned to help you realize that dream. I’ve managed to accomplish authoring my book, Take the Limits Off Your Legacy and getting it published,  executive producing web series & launching teen empowerment programs like our Made to Succeed Academy because I am extremely goal-oriented!

Your goals are not something that you set at the beginning of each year and go back to business as usual. There are methods that you have to apply in order to help you actually accomplish your goals. There are resources and strategies that are available for you to win but you have to be willing to the work.

Your season of victory is not years away, it’s NOW if you would be willing to apply the discipline that’s needed to help you manifest your vision. Next year at this time, your life can look totally different and the choice is yours. Our lives are a composition of the choices that we make, in order to experience a better life then it will require you to make better choices.

You may hate the job that you are currently at, you may be struggling with debt, you may be yearning to launch that women’s conference or start that business or write your book – whatever it is, I want you to know that the beginning of you manifesting your vision will start with a decision and with a goal. It’s time to take the potential that lives inside of you from an existing possibility to a reality!

Take a moment to meditate on you realizing your dream. What does it look like to you? What does it feel like?

Well, it’s time to make it happen!
