I was listening to a motivational speech from Steve Harvey who said something along the lines of stop telling your dreams to small minded people.

Stop that.  In today's podcast episode, I will break down other methods of working towards your dreams and keeping momentum that does not involve discouragement from people.

When it comes to using personal development and manifestation to create a life you love, these days people preach that all you need to do is think about it, imagine it and it will become yours. And while I believe that the statement is true, the only reason it becomes true is because you take action.

This is where goal setting comes in handy.

In today's episode, I share some insight on decision making and how important the decisions we make are when it comes to our everyday balance. When I think of decision making, I think of making a commitment. When you commit to something, you make sure you do it no matter what. And then those decisions (then actions) result in some kind of outcome (whether good or bad). Every decision we make leads to something else, don't forget that.
