Here three things you can do to begin living a BIG life…

1. Start your day in gratitude. At times, this may appear easier said than done. Especially if you’re at a time in your life where it might appear that there’s far more to be concerned about than thankful for. Still, trust me, even if you have to dig a little deeper to identify those things, do it. It will do wonders for helping you to set the tone for your day.… Read the rest of the article

What follows is the replay of the first, in what will be an ongoing series of webinars that my friend, and colleague Kimanzi Constable and I are doing, titled: Live BIG, stop existing. In this session Kimanzi shares on identifying your dream — and I share on the importance of defining success, and what a difference doing so can make.

I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.

Sadly, there’s a natural tendency, perhaps to protect ourselves from disappointment, which attempts to keep us from believing in the incredible talents and gifts that I believe we are all endowed with by a power far greater than ourselves.… Read the rest of the article

Keep the wind in your sails by celebrating your daily successes. Taking the time to acknowledge those times in your life when you’ve experienced “wins” is incredibly important.
