Coach Lori Park

How you look at things will either support you, or hold you back.

If you never went through any change, you would'nt have grown.  I agree sometimes change can be scary...sometimes it's not.  Could that be because of what you're thinking or how you believe the change will affect you, that made the difference?

I always recommend the 20% - 80% rule.  Look at the situation for 20% of the time, to see the problems you perceive might happen with this change.  Then suspend those thoughts, and with a fresh mind, spend the remaining 80% of the time looking at the possibilities, options, and opportunities that this change can bring to your life.

This is how we Grow in life.  This is how we Create in life; and we are infinite creators.  If we can dream it, we can create it!

Afterwards, you can look back and realize the benefits from that change, and how it enhanced your life.

Happy Easter

Happy Passover

Happy Orthodox Easter

2025 is a very unusual year where all three faiths celebrate on the exact same day, April 20th. 

What is the common thread between all of these messages?

It's about breaking the bondage we've been put under.  Understanding this message offers the foundational knowledge that you are a Free and Sovereign being.  Once you hold this knowledge to be true and self evident, you would not allow yourself to be placed in bondage again.

Knowledge Is Power!

Boomerang Effect

Whatever you put out into the world, the same thing will be delivered back to you.

It has been said throughout the ages, "As a man sows, so shall he reap"

It is to all of our benefit, to be aware of what we are putting out into the world. 

May I recommend Love and Compassion?

Have you ever gone through periods of uncertainty in your life?  When things appear to be confusing and murky?

What did you do?  How did you gain clarity?  Did you go within for a quiet conversation with the Creator?  Did you have a discussion with a trusted friend or mentor?  What did you do to navigate through the confusion to the other side of your situation?

The truth is, we've all been in this situation a multitude of times, we just need to recall what we did that brought us to our solution, then repeat the process every time our life hits a bumpy road.

Too many people get lost in the problem du jour, and focus their attention on what's going wrong.  Einstein said, you will never find the solution, with the same mind that sees there's a problem.  This means we need to be open to look at things differently. 

The world is currently going through one of those murky times.  We sure could benefit from people who are willing to look at things differently and recall those times of ...

You might be surprised, but many people want to be told some thing that's NOT true, if the truth isn't pleasant.

The problem with that is...you won't be able to navigate to where you WANT to be if you're given inaccurate information to begin with.

Those people will constantly feel lost, frustrated, and unhappy.

As hard as the truth may be, it will always be the shortest journey to your desired destination!

Running low on energy?

Are you taking care of others with no time left for you?

Then the solution is easy, take a healthy time out!  We all need to do this from time to time. It offers us some time to re-think and re-prioritize what we're trying to accomplish.

When you take care of your needs, then you have far more energy, drive, and clarity to help others.  Just like the airlines instructing you to put your oxygen mask on before assisting others, the same is true in every day life.  If you give and give and give, without replenishing yourself, then you end up depleted without the ability to help anyone...including yourself.

Taking a Time Out is not selfish - it's self-love.  The more self-love you have, the more you're able to authentically love others.

Let's face it, the world needs more authentic Love!

Rumi is so right!

The only one we can really change is our self.  As we look inside our self and notice what's working and what's not working, we can change what needs to be changed.  Day by day, one internal change at a time, WILL change how we show up in the world.

When we show up new and improved, then we are dancing with the world differently.  The world is adjusting to this new person we're becoming. 

Little by little, by little, the world is adjusting and course correcting.  It all starts with how we show up, and the choices we make each day.

So, are you Clever...or are you Wise?

 Life is an Adventure, and unfortunately there are too many people sitting on the sidelines.  They are missing out on learning and gaining of information that propels them forward.

Maybe they tried and it didn't work out, so they gave up.  What most people don't realize until later, is they learned something though that experience.  Maybe several things that later became invaluable to their life.

The secret isn't in how many times you get knocked down, but in how many times you get up..

So what's your next adventure?  What makes you come alive and feel inspired?  What are your gifts and talents?

Be adventurous and discover the differences you're making in this world.

Thank you for being YOU!

As we enter a new year we can tell the world is getting more off balance.  Since our thoughts, our actions, and our deeds directly affect others and eventually the progress of the world, I thought I’d share my own personal rules for navigating life.  There are only 3, so this makes it simple for me.

Rule #1

Trust:

Trust in the Lord with All your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight.

 Rule #2

Send LOVE:

Love is always the solution to any problem.  The only question is, who is it that needs the love?  Them?  You?  Both??

Rule #3

Let God be God:

I can be there in loving support.  Respecting other people’s journeys are between them and God, I don’t have to control other people’s circumstances.

Following these rules as much as I can helps me to stay in my lane, and allow others the freedom to discover their own path.

Happy New Year!
