15 Minutes At A Time Is All It Takes To Change Your Life

In early 2016, I committed to working on my writing for a minimum of 15 minutes per day.

I meant it. I knew it was time to finally create a habit around being a writer, and more specifically, being an author.

I chose 15 minutes because that’s about how long I’m able to focus on something, undistracted, until my mind starts to wander and I need a quick break. Fifteen minutes didn’t feel like a lot of time, but I just chose to believe it would be enough to build a habit and maybe even get me somewhere in my writing life.

Since then, I’ve written and published 13 books (fiction and nonfiction). I’ve added hundreds of thousands of words to my blog. And I’ve written a handful of first drafts that are a revision away from being publishable.

You Must Decide That You Can Have It, And Then Set The How Aside And Take The First Step You Can Think Of

Today is my 13-year blogiversary (the day I started my blog). And as I sit here reflecting on the journey that has unfolded over the past 13 years…

The twists and the turns. The surprises and the serendipities.

The ideas and books and programs and workshops and audios and videos I’ve gotten out into the world. The messages and lessons I’ve learned and experienced and then shared.

Turning my life into my art and art into my life.

And there’s still so much more to come. Like ridiculous amounts of more!!!

As my blog turns 13 and I reflect back on who I was back then to who I have now become, I’m awe-inspired.

It’s My 9-Year Quitiversary!!

Nine years ago today, I quit my corporate day job to work for myself as a full-time writer and entrepreneur.

The majority of people on this planet sell their soul every day in exchange for money at some job they don’t even like let alone love. But I’ve been willing to do what most others won’t—deal with extreme uncertainty. Be OK with not having money at times.

Gave myself permission to have what I want. Did the inner work to become a match for the life I now have and beyond. Faced into the guilt and shame (instead of ignoring it) that being a struggling entrepreneur financially caused for me, and moving forward anyhow.

And all along knowing and trusting that the vision I’ve seen inside of me since age 11 is real and meant for me and mine for the taking and unfolding more and more every day.

Are You Doing The Thing, Or Are You Doing The Thing That’s Meant To Be A Side Effect Of You Doing The Thing?

For the last couple of weeks, I’ve finally been owning who I actually am (an author), and what I’m really meant to be doing in this world (writing hundreds of books, turning those books into movies, being one of the highest-paid writers in the world). It’s been kind of crazy how fast I was able to pivot from what I was doing previously once I made the decision it was time to go all-in on what it was always meant to be about for me.

I’m a super multi-passionate person. I’m like a Jane of All Trades, I’m good at a lot of stuff. And part of my problem all the years I’ve been building my business is that I was focusing on and building the wrong thing. Without even realizing it.

Stop Making Dating So Damn Hard

So many people make dating harder than it needs to be and they also end up limiting who’s available to them, simply because they’re trying to figure out the How instead of letting it come to them.

The How of receiving what you desire is never, ever up to you. Sure, you can have some ideas or preferences for How something happens, but ultimately, the Universe decides the How.

And it always ends up being something you never would’ve or could’ve thought of on your own.

So knowing this, why would you ever try to figure out How you’ll receive the man (or woman), love and relationship you desire? It makes no sense and is a waste of your time.

Now you may be thinking, “OK fine, I’ll bite. Tell me what I should be doing instead of trying to figure out the How.”
