…you cease to blame others, you cease to blame yourself. You drop the blame game altogether. Do you blame your parents, your boss, your siblings, your culture, politics, for your woes? Sure they may have caused some damage, but where does it get you except a lot of sleepless nights and misery.

 He/She who blames others has a long way to go on their journey. He/She who blames themselves is half way there. He/She who blames no one has arrived. 
Shout out to @matt_nichol for these wise words. Thanks Matt. #growupchallenge #growupwithme #blamegame #blame #personalgrowthtips #personalgrowthjourney #selfaware #selfawareness #lifelesson #lifelessons

THEN YA GOTTA FOLLOW EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE. Become inspired by them, and let them kick you in the butt to do great things. 
The “Best Ranger Event” is beyond extraordinary. I’ve been watching it livestream today and feel so inspired by these incredible human beings. I NEED A KICK IN THE BUTT OFTEN, TO KEEP ME STRONG, APPRECIATIVE, MOTIVATED. Army Rangers, you can kick my butt anytime. 
Thank you Army Rangers for inspiring me this weekend and for serving our country and keeping Americans safe. 
 Thank you to all who serve in the military from dishwashers in aircraft carriers to top brass for serving our country. America appreciates you.

THEY CAN’T HEAR YOU AND THEY DON’T WANT TO HEAR YOU. Upset people are dialed into their problem and can’t hear, nor do they want to hear all your suggestions, advice, comments. 

Just say “I’m so sorry”. Then repeat it: “I’m so sorry.” If appropriate ask “What can I do to help?” THEN ZIP IT. Just be quiet and listen, listen, listen. This is the kindest, most empathetic way to help someone in need. #empathy #empathymatters #listen #emotionalintelligence #emotionallydrained #traumahealing #relationshiptrauma #empathymatters #empathetic

I’M DONE living in a negative mindset, criticizing and blaming others. I’M DONE being a working mom trying to “do it all”. I’M DONE comparing myself to others and feeling less than. I’M DONE worrying about the world wars, politics and my teens on social media. I need to focus on me. I’M DONE over eating all the time and being fat. I’M DONE means you’ve hit your bottom. This is a good thing. Bottoms are your mind, body and soul telling you it’s time to change. 

Don’t ignore the “I’M DONEs”. It’s time to act. If you are serious about wanting to change I offer 1:1 complimentary coaching.
