Get out of the way success is coming!

01/08/2011 By carolepyke Leave a Comment

Has it ever occurred to you that the barrier to your success is actually you! I mean the other 'you'. You know the 'you' that has a long list of legitimate excuses. I mean reasons why you can't do it just yet. The 'you' that has a long list of reasons why you're not worth that much or why that is too lofty a dream or why you’re not quite good enough. I could easily go on and on but I’m sure you’re getting the picture. I hold my hand up as I too have been suffering at the hands of this approach and perspective on life. For months I … [Read more...]

21 Things To Remember

25/01/2011 By carolepyke Leave a Comment

If you are anything like me you will forget many of the things you are trying so desperately to remember and many times this will happen in the midst of challenges in life. We forget to smile, forget that we can still be happy and when facing a setback that all things still are possible. I was sent an email from my friend at www.just-be.co.uk recently that reminded me of the some of things I forgot. See which ones you are good at forgetting and find ways to help your mind remember, you will be glad you did. My three favourites are 5, 7 and … [Read more...]

The Inspiration Circle

17/10/2010 By carolepyke Leave a Comment

I recently discovered The Inspiration Circle©. I don't know who else has been privileged to see it but I am choosing to claim it as my own discovery. I know that we have all in some way or another been touched by it but I am choosing to make it formal, give it a name and take ownership. There is something important about taking ownership of something, a sense of power and sometimes even control. In the realm of inspiration I am not claiming any kind of control of it but I am giving myself kudos for starting a little something in my neck of the … [Read more...]

What’s holding you back?

11/10/2010 By carolepyke Leave a Comment

I came across an article recently from Match.com (I was just browsing honest!) entitled 'Women 10 habits that are keeping you single' which of course got me thinking and not just because I happen to be a woman who happens to be single, but more so about the many habits we are all supporting on a daily basis which is the real truth behind aborted and unfulfilled dreams. Sometimes our blockages and barriers to success are carefully hand-crafted internal structures and all of our own making. How is it that someone in similar circumstances with … [Read more...]

Action

07/12/2009 By carolepyke Leave a Comment

“Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together.” Anais Nin Whilst thinking, planning, collaborating and networking are important components on the road to success it is in fact action that makes all of the difference. Doing things keep you busy but it is only the action taken that will move you forward. Action is the currency of success. What actions do you need to take to make your dreams a reality? … [Read more...]

Learning to live by faith!

05/04/2009 By carolepyke Leave a Comment

I heard a statement recently that was so profound that it hit me like a wet fish across the face. I’ve never actually had that happen to me before, but it strikes me as an unpleasant experience and enough to give you an amazing wake up call. The statement was simple but powerful enough for me to stop and take a look at my life and my successes. “Live by faith and not by feelings” Now before you dismiss this as religious doctrine I want you to pause for a moment and think about the meaning of faith and how it is applied in your … [Read more...]

Demotivator!

26/03/2009 By carolepyke Leave a Comment

I never thought I would get excited about things that demotivated you but I came across this 'fun' tool by the UK's leading money saving expert Martin Lewis and thought it worth a try. The figure is in £'s but can easily be $ or yen or any other currency. Give it a try. It will definitely be an eye opener. As always live life divaliciously! http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/protect/demotivator/ … [Read more...]

Now is the time to let go!

23/03/2009 By carolepyke 1 Comment

Death is always a great leveler and a point at which those of us left behind are forced to say goodbye to friends and loved ones and put them to rest. It is also the point at which we pause and reflect on what is or isn’t happening in our own lives. But what would you do if you knew that you only had a short time to live or more importantly what would you do differently? A woman given six months to live was interviewed by reporters and asked what it was like to live knowing that she was dying. She responded, “what is it like to live as … [Read more...]
