Coach Lori Park

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 ...

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!

You are Unique!

Other people's rules won't properly fit your life.  If other peoples rules were right for your life, your life would have worked by now.

Think for yourself.  Discern what's right for you.

Things may shake around you - Hold Steady.

YOU ARE AWESOME, AND THERE'S NOBODY QUITE LIKE 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!

We are promised that we will reap whatever it is we are sowing.

Are our lives perfect? Probably not.  I know the world isn't perfect.  I also know there are more good things about our world than there are bad.  All we need to do to bring more into our lives, and also to bring a higher frequency to this planet is to focus on the good things happening in our lives, and in the world.

Of course we need to acknowledge the bad things that are happening, that helps us decide the changes we want to make.  But if you're spending more than 20% of your time looking at what's going wrong, then you are missing so much.  You're missing all the good things happening, and you're also missing out on learning or using your powerful ability to change things. 

If we truly are living a grateful life, then everyday is Thanksgiving!

For Everything, there is a season.

A time for rain, a time to sow.

A time to plant, a time to reap.

I look at Autumn as a very reflective time.  It gets a little cooler out, kids are back at school, and the sun sets earlier.  Which affords us a little more quiet time to assess our life. 

We are also told, we will "Reap what we Sow".  It's a wonderful time for us to notice, "what is our life producing?"

Am I seeing in my life, what I want...or what I don't want?  This is a great question because once you know the answer to that, you can make any necessary adjustments.

If you're seeing a life you want, then keep doing whatever your doing.  If you're not seeing what you want then ask yourself two questions.

1) What do I want?

2) What do I need to do today that will lead me to my desired outcome?

All the answers to your life, is inside of you.  It's important to ask yourself good questions in order to get the best answers.  Once you got the answers, write them down and work towar...

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, it's important to remember how volatile life can be. We shouldn't take anything for granted.

What we have today, can be gone tomorrow.

During these challenging times, lets agree to be there for one another,  If you're able to help the people affected by this storm, please know your efforts would be greatly appreciated.

If you're not in the area, you might want to donate to a trustworthy organization that is in the area.

There might even be people in your area that is suffering from a personal storm in their own live.  Again, lets agree to be there for one another.  By lending a helping hand you might not only be a shining light in someone's storm, but also a wonderful example to anyone noticing your good deeds. 

And what you're left with, is the profound feeling that you made a difference in the world.
