If You Understood My Past, You Would Understand My Praise.....how many of us can make that statement with confidence?
I sure can and that is exactly why I wrote my new book!
Every time I look back over my life, I get caught up in a praise because I can see the places from where God brought me. Just a quick glance over my shoulder and my spirit erupts in praise. You don't know what my praise cost me....
For me, praise is an acronym
P - purposeful passion, persistence, potential and promise
R - rising above obstacles with resilience
A - achieving all my life's dreams with an abundant attitude
I - identifying those hindrances from a life full of blessings
S - strength and self-esteem
E - expecting favor with enthusiasm and experiencing life through eyes of faith
What does your praise stand for?
When you look back over your shoulder, do you get caught in a praise or do you hang your head in shame? Have you been there, done that and gotten a souvenir t-shirt for all of the mistakes you've made. Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired of getting the short end of the "love" stick? Welcome to my world. If You Understand My Past, You Would Understand My Praise is a humorous and vividly authentic memoir about looking for love in all the wrong places until one day, I woke up and realized I was worth more.
Sound familiar?
Trenton and I had a tumultous relationship. I felt that he was all that I deserved because I had made sacrficies to be with him. Finally, it was crystal clear that he wouldn't be able to give me the love I deserved when three months before our wedding he dropped a bomb on me.
This book is based on a true story and all characters are real people whose names have been changed.

If people understood your past, would they understand your praise?

Hello, Incredible One!
I have a question for you: Where do you want to be in 2-4 years? You may have not even given it any thought. You might think you'll just follow the course you are already on.
Where will that course lead you? Financial Independence, Control over your career, Flexibility - probably not!
Remember, if you want something you've never had, you have to be willing to do something you've never done!
Here are some more questions for you:
1. Is the job that you have right now, the job of your dreams?
2. Can you make your own schedule to work and play at your desire?
3. Do you earn 4 times your current age? Or, even how old you were three years ago?
4. Do you hold the keys to your career advancement?
If you answered "no" to any of these questions, think about this:
1. Being an entrepreneur is the only way to maimize your destiny.
2. You gain the flexibility to work and play at will when you call the shots.
3. Fortune magazine says that if you are not being paid 4 times your current age, you are under paid.
4. Who has the key to your dreams.....If you keep doing what you are doing, you'll only get more of the same...frustration, low income, stress,
Now, how can you live an Incredible life like that?
You may be wondering but what will I do....that's where the PACE Method comes in....
You can do it, I can help.
Think about it....

What does your tongue speak?
Hello, Incredible One!
As I was talking to a good friend today, the following phrase kept dropping into my head: life and death lies in the power of your tongue. We've heard it so many times, and how many times have we fallen victim to a tongue of death?
Phrases like "I'm broke," "I'm fat," "I can't do anything right," "I'm a slacker," "I was acting so stupid..." they all speak death.....
What does it mean to control the power of your tongue and allow it to let you live a life of abundance?
Abundance has very little to do with money, abundance is a state of mind. It means that you will speak life to your life and not cut off your nose to spite your face. It means that you will believe that you can, you will, you must. It means that you realize that you can do anything that you put your mind to. Mary Kay Ash has been quoted for saying "whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve." Conception entails thinking and speaking but when you speak, speak life....
This friend, kept killing her thoughts hopes and dreams because her belief was not bigger than her fear. Trust me, fear, if left untreated, can be the catalyst of many missed opportunities. Fear, quite simply, is false evidence appearing real. We allow fear to placate itself in our lives and allow us to see things that really don't exist just to rationalize why we cannot accomplish our gaols and dreams.
When you stop allowing fear to prevent you from writing your ticket to success and start walking by faith, the Incredible You will appear out of nowhere.
What does your tomgue speak? It is capable of speaking life. Think about it.

If You Want Something You've Never Had....
Hello Incredible One!
If you want something you've never had, you must be willing to do something you've never done.
Remember GI Joe the real American Hero? At the end of every show, he said "knowing is half the battle." That statement is very true. Knowing is half of the battle. What you do with that knowledge is what produces the other half of the battle - RESULTS or Defeat!!!!
Do you know that you are not where you want to be?
When you look back over your life, are you excited to see that you are living your destiny?
Do you know that if you keep doing what you're doing you will get more of what you've got?
Do you know that change is simple?
Do you know that life and death lie in the power of your tongue?
Do you know that by speaking positive, living thoughts you can create change that manifest itself into your DESTINY?
ARE YOU READY TO WIN THE WHOLE BATTLE???
All you need to do is make a decision - a non-negotiable decision that you are going some place different with your life. Remember, knowing is half the battle. With a made up mind, you can begin to propel yourself full throttle into your destiny. Taking massive action produces INCREDIBLE change - the kind of change that writes your own paycheck! Are you excited?
The time is now to take the knowledge that you developed early in this battle called life and win with results that lead to developing into the INCREDIBLE YOU!
After all, if you want something you've never had, you've got to do something you've never done.
Are you willing?

Rain Produces Rainbows
Hello, Incredible One!
The rain is such a simple thing. Do you ever take the time to just watch the rain? Each drop lands in a different spot. The exact spot where the drops fall was predetermined by God to ensure that the water gets to the exact area of your life that needs to be revived and refreshed, isn't that Incredible!!!!
God, the author and finisher of my faith, strategically places each drop from behind the clouds allowing there to be a mass production of living water in my life. Isn't that Incredible?
The rain allows the water to flow creating waves in our lives. Each wave has the ability to produce a reaction that can take us from normal to Incredible....will you allow the wave to come in and evoke the necessary change in your life?
When the rain is over, we are left different. If we look closely, we should see tiny rays of color where the drops designed by God once fell. Those raindrops created rainbows, signifying God's promises in our lives.
Here are some of the things that God has promised you:
1. A right to a life more abundant
2. He will never leave nor forsake you
3. He will be your bridge over troubled waters
4. He will make your enemies your foot stool
5. If you in all your ways acknowledge him, he will give you the desires of your heart.... now that's Incredible!!!

Got Vision?
As a success coach, I am often challenged to help people develop vision that sees the invisible and believes that anything is possible. When I think of vision, I am reminded of a child who has an imaginary friend. With their imaginary friend in tow, that child pursues situations and obstacles with a consistent confidence and enthusiastic expectation that is unparalleled in the world today. I often wonder why our minds don't allow us to think and act as children when it comes to taking the necessary risks and faith walks to live an incredible life filled with dream fulfillment and passion, abundance, confidence and expectation.
As adults, we don't believe in imaginary friends, but when you have vision, you see possibilities and results that are not visible to others. Being a visionary is an important key to becoming the Incredible You. When you have vision, you have victory. One of my favorite personal statements that I created when I first started working with other people as a success coach was "if you can see the invisible, God can do the impossible, so dream the Incredible." When I say this statement each day, I am focusing on helping people to become visionaries for their lives and the lives of their family members. Situations are changed because of vision. Nothing great in this life was ever accomplished without vision. Think of anyone that you admire in this world. No matter whom they are and how significant their triumph, they possessed an uncanny ability to see the invisible and do the impossible, otherwise, you would not look up to them.
When you have the foresight to see those things that do not exist currently but know in your heart, mind and spirit that they will come to pass, you are becoming a visionary, much like the people you admire. No vision is too small and I admonish you not to compare your triumphs with that of others as we are all on an individual journey. Visionaries think outside of the box. Visionaries are able to do things a little differently to get a victorious result. Visionaries never give up because they don't know what is coming around the next corner. It is always too early to throw in the towel on your hopes, dreams and desires.
Vision is the key to maximizing and unlocking your potential. Not a visionary? Make a non-negotiable decision that the time is now to receive the victory in your life. You can be a visionary as soon as you realize that all that it takes is for you to be able to say right now that you are able to accomplish that which you desire to do. If you can see it, it can be a reality. Do you have faith and believe that you can do anything that you put your mind to? In this time of economic downturn, vision is looking at your checkbook and getting excited because the money is on the way. Although you can't see it now, you have full knowledge and belief that you possess what it takes to move from victim to visionary. If you want to have victory, you have to be optimistic. Is your glass half full? When your glass is half full, you are closing in on your victory. When you are able to see clearly those things which do not yet exist, you are walking in a liberating victory because those dreams, goals and desires are just an action away from becoming reality and catapulting you into a personal triumph.
Having vision is pivotal if you want to achieve anything in life. So think, see and then do. You can do it, Incredible One. I believe in you. The Incredible You is waiting; he or she is standing just behind your vision.

Set the PACE to achieve your Dreams
Living an Incredible life is much simplier than we all make it seem. An Incredible Life is a mindset, a state of mind if you will. Very easily, you can take the lid off your thinking and move from forgetable to Incredible! Once you start living out on the branch where the fruit of life is, you will notice that every day problems and obstacles no longer become hindrances or stumbling blocks that get in your way and keep you from fulfilling your Incredible life goals and dreams. The steps to an Incredible life are simple:
1. Consult your higher source for everything you need, want, believe and dream. Make your source, (mine is the One and True Living God) your CEO. Give control over your destiny to Him, He will handle your dreams with care. He will line up relationships that are Incredible!
2. Evaluate and re-evaluate your associations - you become like the 5 people you spend your time with. Each quarter, I make a list of the people who are in my space and I re-evaluate their place in my life. If, when I think of them, I am inspired and believe that they are an Incredible part of my world, they get a +. If, when I think of them, I feel negativity or am perplexed at the thought of the value they add to my existence, they get a -. If I feel absolutely nothing one way of another, they get a /. I am sure that by now you've guessed it, + signs get to stay! - signs have to go and / signs have one more quarter to influence my life Incrediblly so that they can stay or they have to hit the road. Constantly evaluating your associations will help to ensure that the Incredible person you are becoming does not get jaded or crowded by Incredible snatchers - those people who only want to suck the Incredible out of you!
3.Make a Vision Board or Goal Poster. Habukkak 2:2 in the Old Testament of the King James Bible says "write the vision and make it plain." It goes on to say, "write it on tablets [goal poster]." Where are you going in this life? Ask yourself the following question, "What can I begin to do today to make my life Incredible?" Follow that question with this one: "If I could be doing anything in the world and money was not an object, what would I be doing?" Then write it down. From there, brainstorm and come up with more ideas that all lead back to that first question. An old business model says that "what gets attended to gets done"....You want to make sure that your 16x20 sized goal is back by a 16x20 sized POSTER or VISION BOARD. Don't believe that you will remember it, write it down. In fact, get some post-it notes and stick smaller versions of your goals all over the place to serve as a constant reminder that you can achieve anything you put your mind to!
4. Do something everyday that gets you closer to the vision you have for an Incredible life. Daily activity creates habits and habits create consistency, consistency creates confidence and consistent confidence is the gateway to dreams realized!
5. Live with PACE
P- Plan with Purposeful Passion
A - Achieve with Abundant Attitude
C - Create with Consistent Confidence
E - Execute with Enthusiastic Expectation.
Future posts will break down the PACE. Stay Tuned!
Get Inspired, Feel Incredible!Always remember, if you can see the invisible, God can do the impossible so dream the INCREDIBLE!
