My great grandmother used to say, “Wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which you get first!” Grandma was right! Yesterday I spoke about manifesting the things you are dreaming about and today I am speaking about INSPIRED action! You can have all the dreams or “wishes” you want but if you don’t take inspired action, you are likely to never get them. I often hear of people wishing for this or that and then learn that they spend their days on the couch watching TV. They either expect a magic fairy to deliver their wishes or they don’t actually expect to get anything they wish for.
Inspired actions are those little things that we decide to do that are outside of our comfort zone, are not part of the norm, or come from a “gut” instinct. Like when you decide to go to work on your day off and you end up getting a promotion. Or when you decide to say, “yes” to a party and you end up meeting your soul mate. Or, how about when you take the time to talk to someone you don’t know well and they end up becoming your business partner. None of those examples could have ever taken place without ACTION. Try saying yes to new experiences and meeting new people. Inspired action always brings us closer to our dreams, goals, or wishes but we have to be willing to say yes when opportunities present themselves.
I love the old story about the man who was drowning and God told him he would save him. The man refused help from 3 boats that went by because he was waiting for God to save him. As he took his last breath of air he asked God why he never saved him and God said, “I tried, I sent 3 boats.”
Don’t sit around “wishing” for things to happen, make them happen and accept opportunities as they come! Don’t miss your boat by sitting around wishing for one! Take inspired action, enjoy every moment, and Live Inspired Now!

Dreams and aspirations are created from emotions. We all have things we want to achieve in this world; they give us emotions that make us feel good. That is why we want them. Those emotions can come from wanting the “thing” you desire just as much as if you actually had it. The more you embrace these feel-good emotions, sometimes called “vibrations”, the closer you will come to actually achieving your dream! You should live and breath your dreams, keep those feelings and emotions resonating all the time so you will manifest what you want. Put pictures of what you want in prominent places all around your space, have an action plan with steps toward your dreams, and talk about it like it is already happening! For example, when Thad and I wanted to find our dream home, we put pictures of homes in our offices, I had a house on my vision board that represented all that we wanted, we looked online at homes, we talked as if we were moving, and the Universe led us to our dream home! If we had just passively said, “Maybe someday we will move,” it would not have had the impact of “pack your bags kids, we are moving!” Emotions guide us through life; we base our decisions on how we feel about things. Assigning good emotions can launch us towards the point where we want to be and can be done in a short amount of time. Put some real spunk behind what you want, take a risk, use powerful feeling words, and be ready for what will come!
Emotions are extremely powerful, they can either make you feel amazing or horrible. Be sure to attach amazing, feel-great emotions to your dreams or goals. Take your life to the next level, never settle for mediocrity, let happiness guide you, and Live Inspired Now!

I have spent the past 2 days at our new home painting walls. It looks incredible! I am creating a spa like feel in my bedroom with a deep rich green paint color and warm mocha carpeting. You don’t have to break the bank to create an inviting or relaxing space in your home. Paint is cheap for the amount of impact you get. There are limitless options to creating something unique that will make you feel like you are in the most beautiful place in the world… your own home. Do some research online, look up designer rooms to get ideas. The websites www.pinterest.com and www.houzz.com have awesome ideas to look at. Then create something beautiful that reflects you and your family. Even if you only do one room, make it amazing. Create a bedroom for you and your spouse to escape to and feel like lovers. Or create a kitchen that makes you feel like a gourmet chef! Or how about a formal living room to entertain your friends in. Ohhh… or even a basement fun room to watch the games! Don’t wish for an amazing and beautiful home, create one and Live Inspired Now!

If you want to raise kids that you can be proud of, be a parent that they can be proud of. I see parents who insult or call their children names and then wonder why the kids are mean. Or parents who get drunk or high with the kids around and then wonder why their kids become addicts. Kids watch you, they do what you do and repeat what you say. They see the choices you make and will act the way you do. If you are in a volatile or abusive relationship, they are at a much higher risk for doing the same. They could either become an abuser or the abused. Kids see how you react to things. If you fly off the handle and get angry all the time, they learn anger which becomes their default reaction, and they are likely to fear you. If you don’t treat others kindly or with respect, it is doubtful that your kids will, and they are likely to get in trouble at school for being disrespectful. If you create chaos or gossip, don’t be surprised when your children are constantly in the middle of whatever the current drama is.
In contrast… when your children see you doing acts of kindness, helping others, speaking highly of people, acting appropriately, reacting to challenges with compassion, and making good choices, don’t be surprised when your kids do the same! Kids will always push some boundaries and get in trouble sometimes, but give them the best possible start by modeling good behavior. Children are our reflections, good and bad, so have high standards for yourself. Model self respect, dignity, kindness, confidence, altruism, healthy choices, and healthy relationships, and let your kids know that you want the best for them as well. It’s not always easy to parent but your best results come when you set a highly positive and healthy standard for your family. Make your actions, reactions, and interactions healthy and happy and Live Inspired Now!
