The Goal!
The goal is to build others up! This Includes You!
I am putting out this dare to you, me and anyone willing to take this dare on. I dare you to get up in the morning, look in the mirror and say “good morning you caring, compassionate and confident man/woman”. Really take yourself on when you first rise to meet the world.
Notice throughout the day what you have done well for the day and tell yourself the greatness you stepped into for the day. Find something you did right. “I gave my all today” or “I honored myself today”. Find ways to recognize that you made a difference for this day.
I am not a finished product and neither are you. We are both still learning to be better at life. Today I am better then I was yesterday. This year I am better than last year. As I learn more about me and what makes a difference in the world around me I can not help but be a better person today than yesterday.
Are there people around you that are confident and make a difference? What do you admire about them? Would you like to bring that person into your life closer to you so you can learn from them? If there is not anyone in your life like this right now, I would say it is time to seek them out! Bring people into your life that challenge you and show you how to get to a new area in your heart.
There may be many people who look to you as the person they admire. Are you giving them your best? Are you leading them in the direction that would move them forward? People are always watching us. Some possibly out of admiration and some possibly out of envy. How are you watching others? Are you coming from admiration or envy? When your goal is to lift others up, including yourself there is not time for envy. Who is the person that others admire when they see you in action?
If you can see the great value in others why then do you not see it for your self? Are you looking to the outside world for validation and approval? If that is the case what will you do about it? Are you ready to take yourself on? Is it time to start self validating? Our inner critic has a habit of taking us to the outside world. The things we did not do so well. Areas we have not had much practice in and expect to be perfect at it. It’s time to teach our inner critic to notice the great things about us and help others teach their inner critic the same.
Have you noticed how the negative voices always talk the loudest? It is time to notice what we are doing well and speak over the louder voices. When you do something good, talk over those loud voices! Change the language you speak to yourself. Shift messages like “I wish I had …” to “I am grateful I have…” or “I should have…” to “I can do…”.
Shifting your language will support you in learning to silence the critic more often and you can life a more fulfilled life.
So go on, dare yourself to be better today than you were yesterday! Set a goal to lift yourself up and bring others with you!

Do you feel like your kids are pulling you down in life?
I have spoken with many people who have made comments like “if it wasn’t for my kids I would be able to do what I want in life” or “I can’t do that because I have kids”. I am a mother of four and I do not ever recall making those kinds of statements in regards to my life. Nor have I blamed my children for my challenges and hardships. I will say at times it was challenging to find a babysitter for four. There were times in which I had to make a choice to not attend something because I did not have a babysitter. And I know that it was my choice to make.
I have never once felt like my children were ever a burden! We have had challenges along the way. I do not have the most successful kids on the block. We have been through serious illnesses and challenges at school. I do have pretty confident kids and the conversations I have with my kids have been powerful and eye opening for me. When my teens have struggles they come and talk to me. When my young adult son feels challenged or lonely he talks to me. My young daughter tells me what is bothering her and about the boys she wants to go to dances with when she is older.
I recently read an article from Nebraska where parents are dropping off their adolescent to teenage kids to the safe haven. One father who flew from Miami and left his teen behind at the “safe haven”. That tears at my heart. One day I hope to adopt a young girl into our family. I was asking myself what would cause a parent to bring their children at these ages to a “Safe Haven” and just leave them there? Is it because they can not put food on the table? Is it because the children are difficult to handle because the parent was negligent in raising them confidently? Is it because of medical issues that the parent can not afford? Have we as a society let the TV and video games be the babysitter in our busy lives and still expected confident kids? When crisis comes to our homes how are we handling it? Will we abandon those people we are responsible for? Are we seeking support from family, friends, neighbors and our community? I know for some communities times are challenging. How are people reaching for help and support through the tough times?
Raising confident kids is not an easy or simple thing to do! It takes effort from parents, family members and the community. Teaching kids to be confident is very deliberate. Everyday make time to talk with your kids, challenge them to come up with solutions to their problems verses giving them the answer. When I do give solutions I offer several for them to choose from, allowing them to build up their trust to make the right choices in life. Everyday my kids are asked some simple questions like “What are you thankful for?” and “What do you like about yourself?”. Asking questions like these allows them to look at what is important to them and be confident in their answers.
One day my son came home from school and asked me “Mom would you be really mad if I beat someone up?” of course I said yes. Then I asked him what was going on. He shared with me how everyday this one young man kept telling him he was a terrible football player and bad quarterback. He was belittling him in front of the other kids at school, tough time for 13 year olds. I asked my son if he really wanted to beat him up and he said no. I asked him what did he want to see happen. My son told me he just wanted the other boy to stop making comments like that because he was working hard to be a good football player. The solution we came up together was the next time the boy made a comment my son would ask this question “Since you think I am not good at playing football will you step up and teach me how to be better?’. The next day in school he had the opportunity to use his solution. The other boy made comments and my son stepped into action. The results were the other boy told my son he was a good player and apologized for making the comments to impress his friends. They are now friends and work as a team. Are we teaching our kids to be responsible for the things that challenge them? Or just waiting for our kids to get over frustrated and allow violence to be the solution. Or abandon the kids because as a parent we were not willing to be involved.
I asked my sons how they would feel at 13 and 16 to be left at a “safe haven”. They said they will feel like they were not loved and would be very sad and hurt. Imagine what those teens that have been abandoned feel as they have been left at the hospitals in Nebraska. Image if it was you who had been left. How would you feel? As I look back at my childhood, my parents taught me many things in life. Confidence was not one of them. I learned that as I got older. I was taught that as a child I had no say in decisions. I learned that a child can go to bed without supper now and again and would still survive. I learned that pain does hurt and emotional hurts make a bigger scar. Even though I did not often feel loved by my parents it would have been much more difficult to have been abandoned. I love my parents and know that they too had challenges raising four kids.
I traveled to Uganda, Africa last year where many parents are dying from Aids and the kids are working together as a team to build each other up because the parents are very sick and dying. I was able to see the poor conditions these children live in, the huts they live in and the lack of food and healthcare. The babies that were thrown on trash piles and left in public restrooms because of the rapes and lack of food. Yet the people in Uganda that I experienced were not afraid to ask for help. There is enough in America and many times pride will get in our way and stop us from asking for help.
I strive everyday to build the confidence of people around me. I have learned that most people just want to feel like they belong somewhere. Most people want to be part of a family and community. Many times judgment and a feeling of not being accepted push people away and create a feeling of not being loved. Gangs are about being a part of a community. I am choosing to have my family and friends to be part of a community without violence and without hurting others. It is never too late to start building confidence in kids. It is never too late to build confidence as an adult. What are you going to do to build up the confidence in parents so during crisis they choose to get help and support and not abandon the children in their lives? I will offer classes and speak to groups and do what is necessary to help stop the abandonment and violence towards the kids in the world. It is time to step up in the tough times and say people matter first! The time is here to be deliberate with those we are responsible for. Are you willing?

Key 1: Self & Contribution – Who you are matters in the world! How you contribute to others and yourself is your greatest asset. Your attitude in life will either move you forward or hold you back. How do you talk to yourself? Do you feel you are making a contribution in your life?
Key 2: Work & Career – What you to do to make a living matters! What matters is how much you enjoy your work & career. You may want to evaluate your thoughts and feelings around work. Are you satisfied? Do you want to make a bigger difference?
Key 3: Relationships – Who you connect with matters! Have you ever stopped to really think about all the relationships in your life? How do you see those around you? Have you clearly defined your circle of friends? Are there relationships you would like to improve? Are there relationships you may need to let go of because they are toxic?
Key 4: Money & Finances – How you honor your money & finances matter! Have you taken an inventory of your money and finances? Do you avoid looking because it may not be where you want it? What is your income? What are your debts? What is your plan to manage your money & finances? Do you even have a plan?
Key 5: Spirituality – Your sense of meaning and purpose matter! Do you know the deepest parts of you? Religion, nature, art, meditation and pray are just a few ways to express spirituality.

Key 7: Fun & Recreation – How you have fun and re-create yourself matters! When was the last time you feel you truly had fun? What were you experiencing that made it fun? Have you made a list of all the things you love to do? When was the last time you did one of the things on your list? Is it time to do something fun and re-create yourself?
When I have balanced myself in these 7 Key Areas of Focus I find that my life runs a lot smoother.

What Price Are You Paying For Leaving Yourself Out?
What price are you paying for leaving yourself out of your life?
Something to think about! Might be a great topic to journal on.
Are you so wrapped up in your life and all the tasks that you are leaving yourself out of your intimate life? If you feel that you are leaving yourself out what will you do today to step in and be all of you? What are the prices and benefits to leaving you out?
If you feel you are playing full out I say wonderful! Are you bringing someone along with you and are they playing full out? What are the prices and benefits for playing full out? What are the prices and benefits to bringing others along with you?
There have been many days that I have found myself so busy with task that I have left all of who I am out of the day. I can get locked into the tasks that I will focus more on that than how I feel or how those around me feel.
I invite you to join with me and do a self check. Where am I today? What am I feeling? Is today a task day? Is today a connection day?
Who will I become today by getting the tasks done?
Who will I become today by making connections today?
What ever you choose is just great! I say be aware of your days and choose your days to serve you. Do not create the space where you are always serving the tasks and not allowing yourself to be served too.
Task Day or Connection Day - What will you choose?
You matter! You deserve a wonderful life!
I say "keep questioning yourself and living up to your legacy because it all matters". You can go to www.bealegacy.com and sign up for our FREE Newsletter "The Buzz" and stay on the questioning path in life.
Be Blessed and Keep Making a Difference!

Do You Limit Your Power?
The only limits of power are in the boundaries of our beliefs. Our beliefs are the most powerful leading forces that effect our behaviour and leadership. The statement "You change you life when you change your mind" is saying when you shift your beliefs you are likely to shift your life.
Your beliefs either empower you and push you forward or they hold your back in life and take away your power.
What really is a belief and how did we come about them? A belief is something that we accepted to be true or real. Now we may not know for certain that it is true we just believe that it is and therefore we have formed our belief system. We mentally accept that it is true and then carry on in our daily habits that it is true. We build confidence around the belief in the truth as we know it and we can even convince others in our belief as well. We will base our experiences around our beliefs.
Think about some of the beliefs that others have convinced us of because they were confident in their belief. "Men should be at work not at home with the kids." "Women are not reliable CEO's because they should focus on their family." How about this one "Women should not be vice president" or "Black men should not be president". One of those two beliefs is about to shift. One way or another we will have a black president or a woman vice president. What about our traditions? How we celebrate traditions in our family are they conscious or are they a subconscious beliefs. Do you celebrate Thanksgiving the same way your parents did? How about Christmas? Did you adjust to share beliefs with your spouse? Did you create your own traditions? Will your kids do it your way because you tell them this is the way it is to be done?
Today how about assessing your beliefs and ask yourself if your beliefs are from your parents, community, education, religion or your very own. Ask yourself some conscious questions.
Do my beliefs empower me or do they limit me from moving forward?
Do my beliefs support me in risk taking?
Do my beliefs support my family in moving forward?
Do my beliefs allow me to enjoy the work I do?
Now that you have started asking and assessing your beliefs is it time to make a shift in your life? Transform what you once believed to be true to the possibility that you could view your belief a little different. Maybe not so much confidence in the belief yet more confidence in you empowering new possibilities in your life.
The four areas of our lives to create balance in are Physical, Mental, Emotional and Financial. So how are you prepared to transform your life in these areas?
Are you physically fit to manage transformation? Do you exercise regularly? Do you get enough sleep? Do you eat a healthy diet that gives you steady energy?
Are you mentally fit to manage transformation? Do you routinely sharpen your mental skills? Do you learn new things in business and personally? Are you open to new ideas? Do you get involved with discussions in business and in your community?
Are you emotionally fit to manage transformation? Do you continually work on cleaning up the past hurts? Do you get clear with relationships that you still have energy with? Do you heal the wounds of your past where you felt hurt? Do you let negative remarks beat you down or do you let them be feedback and look to see if it would serve you to make a shift or not.
Are you financially fit to manage transformation? Are you living paycheck to paycheck or above your means? Are you enjoying your job or business or do you dread going to work everyday? Could shifting how you look at work improve your paycheck? Do you have money in savings? Are you tithing?
Transforming your consciousness around your beliefs is the first step to making shifts in your life. When you focus on your belief "Shift Happens"!
Are you ready to make some shifts?
(Note: The word Transformation creates a sense of moving forward and excitement in life. The word Change creates a sense or hard, dread and resistance.)
Are you ready to transform your beliefs and use your power in making choices that will move you forward?

Am I Comparing Myself Fairly?
Do I compare myself fairly with others? I find I am frequently comparing myself to others. Not smart enough, not skinny enough, not strong enough, not talented enough, not relaxing enough, not disciplined enough, not brave enough and so on and so on!
Are you caught in this cycle of Not Enough? I am successful and powerful! I have accomplished many things in life as well as many lessons. I have moved up in business and have some wonderful personal relationships. Yet I still sometimes go to the not enough thoughts.
The question I would put out is this "What scale are you measuring yourself on?". Are you comparing yourself to a hope of perfection? Are your successes rarely enjoyed? Do you constantly have the drive that you must do or be better? Do you see something that you did not do well as a failure and then focus on that?
If I have given 100 percent of my skill and knowledge to a project and when it is complete I look back and see where I could have done things differently how do I treat myself? I can look back and decide that the job I did was only 97% worth and the 3% is what I would focus on as not enough.
Have I allowed the influence of others to determine who I am or "should" be? Have I allowed my parents limited skill, my family, spouse, community and culture define who I am?
Am I allowing things I heard in my youth and interpreted in my youth create a negative effect on me now in my adulthood? How are you doing in this area?
Now is the time to start comparing myself fairly! The next time we get in the mood to compare lets stop and see what scale we are using. When you are feeling like you are not enough ask what scale are you using. The perfection scale that does not really exist?
Start listing your achievements and compare them to others who are the same age, gender, social background and culture. Are you comparing your physical beauty to someone else that does not live in your body or your life style? Write down the differences. Notice the similarities and differences for yourself. Notice the negative comparisons you place on yourself and how much energy you put on worrying about them. If you were to release that energy and put it somewhere more productive where would you put it? In your relationships with your spouse, kids, friends or at work, your business? How about positively on yourself? How do you hold back the real you from playing full out because you do not see yourself as enough?
Some things to think about and journal on could be:
• Is it possible to accept myself and treat myself in a lovingly and compassionately, regardless of my accomplishments or lack of accomplishments?
• When did I decide I was not enough and why?
• Do I need to be outstanding, special or unique?
• Am I looking to prove something? And if so who?
• Why does failing at something transform me into being a failure?
• What would my life be like with a fair comparison?
• Can I be satisfied with progress, not perfection?
Final thought: Did you know that the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart by th age of 12 was more successful by any standard in music composition. Mozart spoke 15 languages and had composed numerous major pieces of music, including an opera. He was still a child! I would not want to compare myself to that!
