Something I hear often… I am “surviving yet another…”

Some people are surviving yet another medical setback, another kid crisis, another disappointment, another and another and another, etc.

It all boils down to surviving our own expectations of how things should be. 

Life is happening entirely through the filter of our own mind. It is our own thinking that causes us to feel disappointed. For example:

A man lives in a shack and is thrilled he has a roof over his head because once he didn’t. Every day he works to improve the shack by fixing it up and bringing in some fresh wild flowers he cuts from the field. He is always grateful and lives a happy life.

—OR—

A man lives in a shack and feels sorry for himself because this is all he has. Every day he complains and compares himself to those who have more. He does nothing to improve his situation or attitude. He is always unhappy and dies miserable.

How about instead of “surviving yet another,” we change our words to something like “I get another chance to….” 

Another chance to get healthy, another chance to fix my relationship, another chance to start again and make things better, another chance to spend time with my kid, another chance at love, life, joy, etc.

Today is another chance to be a gift to the world! Take the chance and see what you can do with it! 🙂

Love,

Heather

Yes, a producer from The Steve Harvey show called me today and inquired about having me on the show!!! AMAZING right!?

So why did I say “no?”

Just because a door opens, doesn’t mean you should jump at what’s behind it!

When I got the phone call from the producer, I was speaking at a charity event. I listened to the voicemail and was so excited and couldn’t wait to call back to get the scoop.

The producer told me that they wanted me, and my step-daughter to come on the show as guests for a step-mom / step-daughter segment. Now when she called, I thought she was calling to have me on as an expert who could give insight on the topic. I did write a best-selling book called “You’re Not My Real Mom” about step parenting after all!

I called my daughter Mattie and we talked about it. Mattie took a call from the producer as well. After some really personal questions, and what seemed like “digging for drama,” Mattie and I decided not to do it.

I’ve dreamed of being on that show, and I absolutely love Steve Harvey, but nothing is worth creating drama in my relationship with my kiddo, and nothing is worth my integrity.

I messaged the producer back and offered to come on the show alone, as a best-selling author and expert, who could provide valuable strategies to guests who are struggling in blended families. We will see what she says!

We’ve all been tempted to put up with something that doesn’t feel right because we want something so bad, but it’s just not worth your integrity. Opportunities are not “one and done,” there will be more!

Your dreams will come true when you stay true to your personal truth! (There’s alotta truth there!)

The best part of my day today…. speaking at the “Hope 4 Us” construction skills training course which trains people in construction, then helps them get jobs! Now THAT was a huge honor for me!

I hope you have a fantastic week and remember to think, act, and live abundantly because opportunities are always presenting themselves!

Love,

Heather

What frustrates you? The hot, sweaty, muggy, days of Summer frustrate me. (Yes, I prefer Winter!)

We ALL get frustrated, and that’s OK and even good…. but it’s what we DO with those emotions that really impact us. If you feel guilty, angry, frustrated, jealous, anxious, reckless, depressed, or any other negative emotion, or have a child that experiences these things often… today’s video is a MUST watch! Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Then hop on over to iTunes and listen to the full podcast on this topic where Thad and I provide tons of tips to be more emotionally resilient! (Here is that podcast on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/liveinspirednow/lin-podcast-ep7-frustration)

Spread the love and share this with someone who would benefit!

Love,

Heather

Have you seen the hashtag #sorrynotsorry (sorry not sorry?) What the hell does that mean? Are you sorry or are you not sorry?

Passive-aggressive communication has become so acceptable these days. Apologizing when you are not really sorry, or repeatedly apologizing just to make yourself feel better is not an apology.

If you say “I’m sorry” all the time, you might be an energy vampire, just sucking the life force from people.

Watch today’s short video in which I will offer something else you can say instead of the overused “I’m sorry” which doesn’t carry much meaning anymore.

Spread the love, and live inspired now!

Love,

Heather
