Life’s Golden Ticket
In Brendon Burchard’s inspirational novel, Life’s Golden Ticket, he talks about this particular character who’s life isn’t going too well. His business is falling apart, his relationship with his Fiance, (who he loves deeply) is on it’s last leg, and he’s financially struggling.
I think it’s a fair assessment to say that in some aspect we can all relate to this character. And because of this I would like to share the rest of this story with you. (I will do my best to reenact.)
The Lion Tamer
So the story continues with this character going to an Amusement Park. While at the Park, he somehow gets thrown into a Lion Cage. Now he’s obviously freaking out and doesn’t understand what’s happening. He looks up and he sees a Lion Tamer perched up high on a red box.As he’s trying to make sense of it all he realizes the Lion Tamer is releasing Lions into the Cage. Now he’s really, really, flipping out. The Lions are getting closer and closer – they can smell his FEAR!
Now the Lions start swatting and pouncing on him. He’s laying there in a fetal position trying to protect himself and he’s thinking, “This is it, this is the end of my life.” Then all of a sudden the Lions just stop. They get off of him and start walking away. He can’t believe it.Dazed and confused, he stands up, looks around and he sees the Lion Tamer again. He thinks to himself, “I wonder what made him call the Lions off.” As he turns his head to watch the last of the Lions walking away, he sees his Fiance at the other end of the cage. He realizes the Lions left him to go and attack her!
At this point, something takes over and he musters up all the strength he has and runs towards the Lions and starts yelling at them, “Get Back, Get Back” as he’s pushing them back as hard as he can. He can’t believe it. He has no idea where this strength is coming from, but it’s working.
As the Lions are walking away he goes to get his Fiance, but he can’t find her. She’s nowhere to be found. Was she just a vision? Dazed and confused once more, he again looks up to the Lion Tamer and the the Lion Tamer says:
“You Finally Found Something Worth Fighting For!”
The morale of the story is sometimes we need something worth fighting for to change the course of our life. To make the difference for us. Especially when we may feel that our life is not going so well.
So the question for you Dear Friend is:
What’s worth fighting for in your life?
Sometimes when life feels out of balance and uncertain we need to be reminded that we all have something deep within that’s worth fighting for. My coaching programs are designed to help you do just that. To learn more, CLICK HERE.

4. eat nutritiously
5. enjoy activity

Holiday Tips to De-Stress
Looking for tips to help you de-stress during the holidays?
Here are some ideas to help you along your way:
- Nurture Yourself: Set aside relaxation time – (yes, I am serious – make the time to relax – take a bubble bath, light scented candles, curl up to a good book.)
- Spend time with positive people who enhance your life – (during the holidays we may have to be around people who cause us stress – so connecting with people you really like at this time is important.)
- Do something you enjoy every day – (this will help balance you out and lift your spirits – go for a walk, play with your pet, meditate.)
- Keep your sense of humor – (now come on, you know laughter is the best medicine of all – watch a good comedy, call a friend who always makes you laugh – remember to just keep smiling)
And remember, try not to get too caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays – they are meant to be enjoyed!
Happy Holidays!

A Lesson In Life
Whenever my mom would came across reading material she found meaningful enough to share, she would clip it out and save it until the time was appropriate.
It’s one of the many things I loved about her.
I speak in past tense because my mom suffers from an awful disease that we call “Alzheimer’s.”
It has robbed her memory, changed her quality of life and invaded her privacy. For this, I am grief stricken. It is a disease that affects all – all that choose to love and support her.
It has been over a year now that I have carried around this beautiful message – A Lesson In Life . I found it while cleaning out my parent’s vacation home. I now feel a desire to share it with you.
My hope is that you gain inner strength and peace from reading it.
My best always,
Patricia
A Lesson In Life
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck.
Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere.
If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them. For they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to.
If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.
Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.
You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it!

The New Year Buzz
It’s almost time to “ring in” the New Year…
and the most popular buzz that’s humming around town for a resolution is:
“To live a simpler lifestyle.”
Now I knew it would only be a matter of time before this idea caught on, and I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am for anyone who is considering reducing their stress level. I am a firm believer that by living a simpler lifestyle you can reap many benefits, such as overall health and wellness.
But unfortunately most people have misconceptions about how to go about this and end up overwhelmed, thus causing them to break their goal for the New Year.
Living simply can be implemented once you have a simpler state of mind – which can begin with a fresh perspective on considering the lifestyle you want to live.
One mantra in particular I found helpful for awareness is “less is more.” Try thinking about how to apply this in all aspects of your life and then choose something small to begin building on.
Sometimes purging areas of your life can be the catalyst to living a simpler lifestyle!
Holiday Tips for Tipping
Holiday Tips for Tipping
Regardless of our economic state of affairs, some things simply do not change. There is this expectation of us to be generous during the holidays to the people who provide us service – and rightfully so.
The question then becomes, who are the folks we should be tipping and what is the appropriate amount? In addition, if we are facing financial challenges, what can we offer in lieu of this?
If you think about it, end-of-the-year gratuities are a way to say thank you to the people we appreciate because they make our lives better, happier or simpler in some fashion.
Etiquette authorities state that there are simple ground rules you follow to help determine how much you should give, such as:
- Quality of service
- Frequency of service
- How long you have used the service
- Regional custom
- Your budget
Now let’s take a look at some of the service providers that may be applicable for you to tip:
- Barber
- Cleaning Person
- Hairdresser
- Mail Carrier
- Manicurist
- Pet Care Provider
- Sanitation Worker
With respect to how much is appropriate to tip, according to a poll by Consumer Reports, the average starting tip was $15.00 going up to $50.00 based on your history with that person. Here again, if money is tight and you have to be selective, it may help to consider who really needs it the most.
There are other ways to let someone know how much you appreciate them and to say thank you. Sometimes a handwritten note with heartfelt words speaks volumes. Home baked goods are always a sweet treat that people love to receive. Remember, it’s the quality of your acknowledgement that makes a lasting impression.
Tip: When frequenting your favorite restaurant, tipping the wait staff, maitre d’ and bartender are all acceptable. You never know, you just may find your service and table location improves.
