Coach Lori Park

Did you ever give a thought to where April Fool's Day came from?

Actually the first day of the calendar year was always April 1st, just after the Spring Equinox.  In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII started the Gregorian Calendar.  This calendar switched the first day of the calendar from April 1st to January1st.

This was quickly adopted by much of the Catholics, but not by the Protestants within Europe.

People who were resistant to embrace this new calendar change became the butt of jokes and hoaxes and were called "April Fool's".

We All Have Our Own Unique Purpose!

We find our purpose by noticing things that excite us.  Things we feel passionate about.

What are YOU passionate about?

Take a step in that direction.  Start small if you like, but then keep moving forward.

Just Do Your Passion.  No room for doubts!

DO IT....DO IT....DO IT!

 Its understanding just like every lock has its on unique key, so it is with Success

Every person has a unique purpose for being on this planet, and at this specific time. No two people are the same.  Even twins may look very similar, but even they have unique differences and purposes.

Success is understanding they have their own purpose.

Success is respecting others for the gifts each person brings to the world.

Success is holding your beliefs about your purpose, regardless of other people's opinions.

Success is trying something new and unfamiliar.

Success is getting up after a fall and courage to try again.

Success is knowing there's a lesson in every experience, and becoming wiser for it.

Success is knowing the difference between outside chatter and inner wisdom.

Success is having the ability to stay in the present moment.

Success is listening to the desires in your heart, and allowing your soul to express itself.

Success is knowing that it's about the journey, and not...

When we follow the thoughts in our head we rationalize (ration-a-lies).

Our Soul know its journey.

Tune into your heart for the most direct guidance to "your" path and purpose.  Don't worry if others don't get it, they're not suppose to understand your life.

That's why the have a life of their own!

WHEN THE WORLD IS IN CHAOS, HOW DO YOU RE-FOCUS?

This is a great question, and the answer is, you have to prepare for it. It's learning to control your inner world regardless of what's happen in the world outside of your physical being. This can be hard at first, especially when people talk about things going wrong in the world.

That is why you need to PREPARE for it. Just as you would prepare to run a marathon; enter a body building competition; playing a major league sport; or even riding a bike!

How many times did you have to practice, before you were successful at riding a bike?

It's an unreasonable expectation to believe you should be able to quiet your mind, the first time you go inside and get calm. So take it easy on yourself and just practice. Practice every day. Do it for only 15 minutes. Don't be attached to any specific outcome these 15 minutes are supposed to bring. Just show up, and notice what you notice in that 15 minutes without any judgement.

Do this as a daily...

Groups have studied for decades, how the human mind works; and how to motivate a person. This has constantly been used in advertising. How to stimulate the mind, to get a desired result.

Did you know a person will do more and move faster, to avoid pain than they would to gain pleasure?

You might be surprised whose been using these techniques on you, without your knowledge. Even on the news. Are the reported stories about "fearful" things, or about "pleasant" things happening? I know there are many more acts of kindness, than there are of drama and trauma. However the reports aren't even half good reports and half bad. If you notice the pattern, for the most part, are all fear based reports, and then end with one happy story. Could it be designed to have us view things in a fearful way?

It's time for us to "Re-Focus" our thoughts, our words, and our vision, on the good things in life. Because what we think, say, and do....actually creates our tomorrow.

Everything is a vibrational...

The world is changing around us.

Are you noticing?

What served us in the past, isn't relative to this new and beautiful world we are transitioning to.  Don't be afraid of change...that's playing small.

We came here to grow, evolve, and explore. Try new things, and make adjustments along the way. As you do, you will gain confidence in your own abilities. There is no right or wrong way for your life, because you are the creator of your legacy. Time to test your wings!
