Take one bite at a time.

I am not advocating eating an elephant. They are endangered and such noble creatures. Besides, I’m a vegetarian…

The point is to chunk it down. Mark Twain put it this way “The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex, overwhelming tasks into small, manageable tasks, and then starting the first one”.

Do you have something BIG that you’re up to and don’t know where to start?

Here’s an idea: Divide your big idea into 7 steps… (hint: begin with the end in mind so you know what your end result will be). Then assign 5 action items to each step with timelines and who will help you accomplish the action or hold you accountable for the action.

Let me know how it goes.

With Love and Gratitude,

Crazy as you may think it sounds…what’s possible is what you believe is possible!

Just think if the Wright brothers didn’t believe we could fly…well probably someone else would have figured it out but you get what I’m saying.

What do you need to believe is possible in order for your brain to assist you in taking on the job of accomplishing it?

I read this in Jack Canfield’s book ‘Success Principles’:

“It’s not what you don’t know that holds you back; it’s what you do know that isn’t true”.

Hmmmmmm that’s worth some thinking on…

Write it down. What do you know that isn’t true?

Feel like sharing? I’d love to hear from you.

With Love and Gratitude,

I really mean…what’s my Purpose?

It’s an age old question. An important question. And it may be easier to answer than we think…

If you stopped searching outside of yourself, for just a moment, it just might bubble to the surface.

You see, your soul knows your purpose…that’s why it chose YOU!

Try this exercise:

Sit quietly. Take a few deep breaths from deep in your belly. Drop out of your head and into your heart. Now meditate on these questions:

What do people naturally come to me for? (Advice, a good laugh, a warm hug, an open ear and a quiet mouth, help with relationships, etc….)

What comes easily to me? (Problem solving, listening, teaching, researching, networking, connecting people, peacekeeping, a good joke or story, etc…)

Without editing; journal / write down what comes to mind.

Please message me at johanna@johannamcclain.com and share what you found out about your Purpose.

Be still. Be trusting. Be yourself.

With Love and Gratitude,

Johanna
