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 ...

 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!

Complaint   or   Compliment

War   or   Worship

Hate   or   Love

Competition   or   Compassion

--One is an attempt to have power by Force

--The other is true power by Love

Choose Wisely!

The best meals are always prepared with attention to details, and the greatest ingredient is love.

This is also true with our cultures, traditions, and most of all, our children.  Children grow up too fast, and often with influence of technology or the guidance from others than might not share our values.  

Our children are the biggest treasure we will ever have.  It's worth spending the necessary time with them to infuse the family's values, love, and traditions in to them....allow them to simmer, in order for the sweet essence of their gifts to blossom.

This is a Harvest that will pay off year after year!

Spreading the Light

In these dark times with Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the out pouring of light and love from people all over the country is making a difference.

Hurricane Milton was supposed to hit land as a Category 5 storm.  Miraculously, it came in as a Category 2 storm.

Divided we are weak, United we are strong.

We will get through this together!

H U M A N I T Y

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.

Each person is very special. 

Each person was born for an unique reason, that only they can give to this world.

Most people don't know what their special gift is until they grow into it.  Their life long experiences are shaping and perfecting their message.

Just like a delicate plant needs to be nurtured, so do each one of us require nurturing.  Many times people are born into a family that provides that nurturing....many times people are not.  While this maybe disappointing, it doesn't have to be devastating.  If you're not being nurtured by other, then that's a clear sign you need to step up and nurture yourself.

You see, in those instances when nurturing doesn't take place, self nurturing is what you're suppose to teach the world.  You can't TEACH what you don't KNOW.  You must learn it first.

Don't cheat the world out of your Unique Gift!

Looking for a few good people with:

Honesty

Respect

Resolute

Courage

Principled

Nonviolent

Compassionate

Apply within your local School Boards and Municipalities.  Be the change the world is looking for!

If there's anything in your life that's making you unhappy, then maybe it's time to change it.

You can change just about anything in your life that you don't like.  Your job, your relationships, where you live, what vehicle you drive, body size, the way you look at things, and even your government.

If anything is affecting the quality of your life, then it's your responsibility to Change it!

Take a step back. Spend 20% of your energy looking at the problem.  Then pick up a piece of paper and spend the remaining 80% of your energy writing down steps leading towards the solution.  Then prioritize those steps.

As you implement those action steps, make adjustments where needed.

You can change ANYTHING, and don't let anyone tell you differently.

You deserve a joyful life!
