You teach people how to treat you by what you accept. If you are upset about the way someone is treating you, you have the power to change it by communicating, seeking help, setting new boundaries or even leaving if the situation is abusive. We must be responsible for what we tolerate, we are not helpless victims put here to endure abuse or mistreatment. We are responsible for our decisions, choices and life that we create. If you don’t like the way it is going, create something new, change the people you are spending your time with and set a new standard for what you will accept for your life. Today, teach the people around you that you are a person full of love and light and worthy of all the Universe has to offer by disengaging in treatment that you find unacceptable and Live Inspired Now!

PS… if you have children, the relationships they watch teach them how to act as well.

I am all for letting the Universe guide me and going with the flow but sometimes you have to engage in things that you don’t want to deal with. Doing nothing is a choice too, it’s a choice to allow things to remain the way they are without intervening. Sometimes we have to do something otherwise other people make our decisions for us. If you are in a bad relationship, or dangerous situation, doing nothing may actually make it worse. Denial isn’t going with the flow, it’s ignoring the flow. Don’t let fear cripple your ability to make choices for yourself that could enhance your life. Life is scary sometimes but you can take control of yourself, make decisions to better your circumstances and move forward away from the things holding you back… you CAN!! So today, think about what decisions or choices you are NOT making, decide to do something, be proactive in your own life and Live Inspired Now!

When a friend reaches out to talk or vent about a challenging life situation, be a good listener by not offering judgements on their situation. The last thing a hurting friend needs is for their listener to insult, judge or pull and “I told you so.” Often clients will tell me that I am the ONLY one they feel they can talk to because when they talk about their relationships, their friends and family take to name calling and insulting the spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend or even their child that they are having the issues with. When a friend trusts you enough to confide, don’t judge the situation or the participants. They may just be venting and will feel better after and go back to dealing with the situation. If they go back to it with the added baggage of their friends judgements in the back of their mind, it will make it harder for them to develop useful solutions. So today, be a good listener and JUST listen, don’t judge or name call, be a great friend and Live Inspired Now!

The very first time you meet someone, you automatically begin to judge whether or not this is a person who you should give your time to. It is always about appearance in the first few moments because that is all a person has to go on. I know we are told not to judge a book by its cover but instinctively we do at first, that is not to say we won’t give someone a chance even if we don’t like what we see. So put your best foot forward no matter what you are doing.
Since finishing my book, I have learned that the way I present my book is far more important than what is actually in it! Literary agents and publishers want a total package in a pretty wrapper. They want to know that the book will SELL, not change the world.
Substance will follow but start with your personal best. People will either like you or not, but it demonstrates you have taken the time to show that you can be professional. So today, start with your best foot forward and Live Inspired Now!

Personally I find it difficult to feel inspired amongst a huge cluttered mess! I like to keep things tidy, especially my office! Each day before I start working, I go through my paperwork, do what I can and file the rest, organize my desk and put everything in it’s place, then I can get started working. Visual clutter or messes can give you a sense of disarray and feelings of being overwhelmed. It is also just nice to know where everything is, a messy space makes it so difficult to locate things. So today, tidy up, keep a clean house or work space and Live Inspired Now!

Thanks Jill for the INSPIRATION!! 😉
