Coach Lori Park

Remember when things used to be simple?

Just because we're adults now, with responsibilities, doesn't mean we have to be stuck in the challenging part of life.  Actually, it's quite the opposite!  The more challenging life is, the more we need those refreshing breaks of sitting in nature and laughing.

If we don't have some resemblance of balance, then we really aren't any good to anyone!

Make a list of things you enjoy doing.  Make sure it offers a variety of time duration and cost.  Some days you'll be able to take a full day, while other days you might only have 15 - 20 minutes.

It doesn't have to be elaborate, it just needs to be a regular practice of feeding your soul some joy.

This is a powerful tool to teach your children.  Teaching by example is always the best way.

Make life worth living!!

Does life seem confusing and chaotic?

Does it appear like the efforts you're putting, aren't realizing the results you're looking for?

Then maybe you're seeing only half of the picture.  Maybe you can't see the things in the dark yet.  Maybe people are only giving you half of the truth.  Maybe you're only looking at things in the light, and not asking yourself if there's anything else to consider. There could be many different reasons why you're not seeing the full picture, but that's not the relative part, 

The important reason to see the fuller picture, is so you can come up with the best solutions. So that your decisions aren't half backed, but instead fully thought through.

It always is darkest before the dawn.  Wait until you gain more clarity.  Keep an open mind to what you're not seeing yet.  Evaluate all information carefully.  Then formulate a well throughout opinion.

Remember, your mind is like a parachute, it works best open!

We are being flooded with so much information that it's hard to keep up.

Some of the information sounds so crazy, it's hard to believe it can possibly be true,

I've always been one who wants to know the truth, no matter how painful it might be.  The reason why is simple, if you know the truth you can make the appropriate adjustment for a better outcome.  If you make a decision on a false narrative, then you're not fixing anything.

Garbage In, Garbage Out.

When you're "digestion information", you are suspending your judgement while processing the facts, and research any questionable aspects.

When you are "denying information", you're blocking any information from being processed.

Common signs of Denial

Refusing to talk about the problem

Finding a way to justify the situation

Blaming other people, or outside forces for causing the problem

Just remember, it's the Truth that sets us Free!

When it comes to YOUR life, how clear is your vision?

Many people have a hard time seeing the forest from the trees.  They allow the outside world and other people's opinions blur their path.

People may be well intending, but they don't see or understand all the different variables in your life, like you do.  So their lack of understanding can point you in the opposite direction of where your internal guidance is trying to steer you.

This is a perfect time to pause, and focus on the things that make you happy, fulfilled, and enriched.

This is a perfect time for new strength, new clarity and renewed hope

A perfect time to Design Your Life on Purpose!

When you look in the mirror, what do you see?

Do you see someone who is not good enough, or a person with lots of faults?  Do you see yourself as a precious soul that's learning and growing?

The way you answer that question has everything to do with how this New Year will unfold for you.

One viewpoint is negative, and the other is positive.  Since whatever you believe will govern what comes into your life, then right now, today, you get to design this year ahead.

Choose Wisely.   Be Bold.   Dream BIG!

How do you change a world that has gone completely off the rails?

By Being:

Kind

Respectful

Loving

Patient

Compassionate

Peaceful

You see, you'll never extinguish hate by bringing more hate to the situation.  You need to conquer or overcome it, by bringing in a higher frequency to the chaos.

There once was a popular song that said "Let there be Peace on Earth, and let it begin with ME."

We can't control other people.  The only one we can control is our-self and our behavior.

When YOU set the example, people notice.

A good example goes viral, and becomes contagious!

We are living through a bold period of time where Good and Evil is clashing like never before.  Don't conform to the corruption around you.  Don't go along, to get along.  Rise above it!

You were Not made to fit in…You were born to Stand Out.

You were born to lead.  You were born to live with courage and conviction.  It’s time for each of us to step into our purpose, and to never compromise our values just to be accepted.

A personal warrior ethos are your guiding set of principles that you use to navigate challenges and strive for excellence in life.

Identify what truly matters to you.  Reflect on your experiences.  Your experiences have actually molded you for who you're becoming.

Disconnect yourself from what others do.  They were never meant to be your moral compass.

President Kennedy once said, "Ask not what your country can do for you --ask what you can do for your country."

Shouldn't we be saying the same thing about Our Community, and Our Family?

We are here to be All That We Can Be.  That's our target.  It doesn't matter what others are doing...they'll eventually catch on and catch up.

Be who YOU were meant to be...AN EXAMPLE!
