Ideas to spark positive thinking!
A bright idea, setting personal goals, working through a problem takes a combination of motivation, creativity, and positive thinking. If you put your best foot forward, even if the plan fizzles or takes a dramatic turn, it can certainly make a difference about how you view the ultimate outcome
Before you proceed ask yourself a few simple questions:
- What prompts you to get motivated? (...money, frustration, helping others)
- Is there something in particular that stirs your creative side? (...crafts, a project, a cause)
- How can you sustain a positive attitude? (...mindset, persistence, review)
Connecting your experiences with the answers to the simple questions can help you realize things that you never thought possible. Contact me anytime with your questions and comments.

#1 Passion
What are you passionate about?
Simply talking about your passions will soon get you nowhere. Talk + Action equals steps taken to a vibrant future!They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel. -Carl W. Buechner

Fulfilling Your Passions
A step-by-step guide
The Passion Test: The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Destiny
Amazon Price: $23.95 (as of 12/14/2009)
Review: A full life steeped in passion is achievable, the authors assert, through the application of three concepts: intention, attention and "no tension." In part one, these concepts are explored in depth, along with seven steps for "Living Life Aligned with Passion"; part two puts these ideas into action. Throughout, the text is peppered with anecdotes, theories and analysis from experts and colleagues who have taken the test and put it to use in their lives. There's nothing revolutionary about Bray and Attwood's technique, but it's a simple (if not exactly "effortless") approach to organizing and prioritizing that's both practical and intuitive.

This Cat is Committed
Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.
#2 Commitment
Are you prepared to commit to yourself and to those you love?
Counter fear with a spirited commitment that comes from your inner essence. Your dreams can be realized, life can be different. Start amazing yourself today!Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans. -Peter F. Drucker

Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life: The New Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Amazon Price: $14.93 (as of 12/14/2009)
Review: Intriguing exercises help readers identify their core struggles, parse these into manageable pieces, and develop effective ways to move beyond rumination. The work progresses easily, thanks to Hayes' engaging style and his grace in coaching readers. Critics of cognitive and behavioral therapies will warm to Hayes' logical explanations of language's pitfalls (even language used by other therapeutic approaches); his sometimes goofy--but surprisingly effective--exercises; well-timed etymology lessons; and his uncanny ability to predict and skillfully address reader reactions throughout the workbook. Ironically, the path to life clocks many hours in the mind; plan to dedicate an intensive month of introspection to this program. Anyone who has been accused of thinking too much, who begrudges compliments, pines for a different life, or feels trapped at a mental dead end can benefit from Hayes' superior guidance.--Liane Thomas

#3 Effort
Do you embrace the thought that each moment is perfect regardless of its outcome or are you stuck in the box?
If what you are facing seems too intense, challenge yourself to give it some effort at the same time as you take your thinking to a new level! If it's a disappointment learn from your efforts, if it's a gem celebrate and share your success!Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit. -Napolean Hill

#4 Gratitude
What can you do to dwell completely in a place of gratitude?
Truly appreciating what you have by means of learning from your experiences in life and being joyful no matter what position you find yourself in, is gratitude personified. If you slip remind yourself, if you fall pick yourself up and dust yourself off...make it a habit to value the life you are living!At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. -Albert Schweitzer

#5 Rethinking
Are you flexible enough to look at all your options?
Stinkin' thinkin' has a way of quashing many a dream. Rethinking a situation does not have to be impossible, give yourself permission to summit that mountain, even if it seems unattainable, insurmountable!Only the spoon knows what is stirring in the pot. -Sicilian Proverb

Oh, of course you might guess that I would be inspired by the cat as I am committed to all our cats inside and outside and they are equally committed to us. ;)
