I know things are feeling crazy and out of control.  I know people are feeling fearful and things are not going as they planned for their lives.

But what if nothing was going wrong?  What if it was nothing more than a world-wide GPS indicating the need for a Course Correction.  We've all been there with our personal navigational devises, stating "At your earliest convenience make a U Turn".

In the dictionary the verb "correct" is defined as:  If you correct a problem, mistake, or fault, you do something which puts it right.

So in your automobile if you do a course correction, you're making an adjustment to the path you are currently on, in order to get back on the right path.

Did you know if a ship that is only 1 tiny degree off the correct path...and left uncorrected long enough, could miss the entire continent?  That's why there's a need for Course Corrections.

What's stirring inside of you?

Are you following your passion?

Your wounds may be on the outside, or they may be on the inside...but we all got them!  The only difference between us is, are we facing our challenges and moving forward, or are we ignoring them and staying stuck?

We all have our stories, and yes we need to honor the challenges in our lives.  It's not uncommon for people to look back and realize how much they've grown because of their challenge. 

When these challenges occur, I recommend the 20/80 Rule.  Take 20% of your time, and honor what happened....why it might have happened....and what could be a lesson from the situation.  After that, spend the remaining 80% of your time thinking of where to go from here.....how to take small steps towards making your life better....seeing yourself at the end of the challenge as a conqueror.

Start from where you are, control y...

Every New Experience Is Expanding Us!

Expanding our knowledge; Expanding our skills; Expanding our character; Expanding our comfort zone; Expanding our inner world!

Several years back I got certified in scuba diving.  There were many things to learn as I stepped into a new world with different surroundings and different rules.  Things needed to be explained to me, what I can touch verses what I can't touch, never to dive alone, how to communicate underwater, how to navigate in poor visibility, and how to buddy breathe if someone's tank ran out of oxygen.

Once we got underwater, there was a new freedom I quickly realized because of the tank of oxygen strapped to my back, I was able to stay down and enjoy .  I was able to see bright vivid colors of fish swimming together in schools, sea life tucked within the rocks or blending in with the coral.  I saw a sand ray that was camouflage and swam away as I approached, and even encountered a barracuda who moved in an opposite direction equa...

EXPERIENCES ARE OUR TEACHERS!

Like it or not, this statement is very true.  As I was sorting through my own life, I came to the point of realizing there is the Outer environment where I interact with others, and the Inner environment where I discern what took place, look for understanding, disconnect from wrong perception, feel my feelings about the situation, forgive others or myself where needed, and then I'm able to grow from the experience.

So much of "Life's Injustices" come from misunderstandings and wrong perceptions.  What if the majority of us, took that quiet time to review our experiences and digest what happened in order to extract the golden nuggets for us to learn and grow from?

We learned and grew while we were in school, and that doesn't stop after graduation.  I'm sure you can name numerous things you learned...and then was able to gain additional knowledge because of your foundational understanding.

Isn't a happy life, and a harmonious world worth the few quite mo...
