Quieting Your Internal Critic and Increasing Self-Esteem

Why do we find children so inspirational? Part of it is their innocence but there is much more.

What If

In our growing years, we are impacted with many ideas and beliefs of family members, teachers, religious leaders, coaches, friends, and more. What if is an idea game we can play with ourselves to be able to separate what is our role in life and what is not.

Experiencing What You Don’t Want

Have you ever experienced something you did not want to? This is one of the most common questions I get from people just discovering they are creating their own reality. If we are creators of our own reality, why would we ever experience something we do not want to experience?
