Someone Asked

Someone Asked, so I will respond

Where have you been?  What happened to your website and why no Facebook activity?  The answer:

Life is a journey that takes you on many paths and loves to distract you.  In 2014 when things were moving and adventures growing, I traveled a different path.  I left the TAJL Group behind for a few years and took on another adventure or three.  I was still helping others, growing processes and ensuring that others were being thoughtfully served, but it was on a new path.  As my true vision blurred, I began to realize that I needed to travel back to my original path.  This year I reinstated The TAJL Group and am slowing making the climb.  One of the other adventures is consulting which has grown into a Studio and Entrepreneurial Zone that has and is changing the lives of youth.  This adventure has blossomed into an amazing journey helping to shape a new way to educate.

The TAJL Group will be traveling again next year as I have been honored to help education in an area where there is a lack of funding and the community suffers from poverty.  This journey was only fueled by my travels away from my original path and now I am returning with more to offer.

My vision is clear, "To help ALL who cross my path find true Joy, Peace and Happiness in Life."  However that develops, I hope that you will join me and us on this journey.  Lets work together to find our purpose, grow our vision and make positive impacts in the world we live in.  Journey on new paths and find your way to who you were built to be.

Please visit planetstartup.org and see what they are doing.  As a new Advisory Board member on this adventure, I invite you to see what is going on and be part of the process.

Thank you for being you!

When Someone Wakes You Up

I was blessed:

In life there are times that we find ourselves feeling like a 'hamster' running on a wheel.  No matter how hard we work, how much passion we put in and are constantly trying to move forward, we feel like we aren't making a difference.  I had to get 'smacked' on the head by someone whom I value to see that I was overthinking the outcomes.  I always teach to look for the 'simplicity' in life and to cherish the small stuff, yet I was looking for the home run.  I failed to see what was happening right in front of me because I was so focused on where I am seeking to be.  Why did I fail to see the little things around me and realize the impact that was being made?   I could feel and see how those around me where impacting me, but I was failing to see that maybe I was making a difference even if very small. 

I'm thankful for this 'smack' on the head.  I am thankful that someone around me was aware of the things that were happening. I'm thankful that she had the passion to reach out and say 'hey', 'stop', 'wake up' and 'be you'.   Thanks and for this I'm blessed.

For all of us.  We need to slow down and see how our daily 'foot prints' are impacting those around us.  We need to move a little more slowly and trust our passion as we move to help others.  Stop and truly listen to those around you.

Thanks Michelle as you are a beacon of light to those around you.  Thanks.

Relationships Begin With You

I often hear how someone was truly upset or hurt by another’s actions towards them.  

Well, the fact of the matter is that you are part of the problem. We often create our relationship issues with what is going on within ourselves.  When someone I work with is truly upset because of an interaction or series of interactions, they often claim that being in a relationship with anyone is not worth it.  Well, unfortunately we can’t escape any relationships even if we refuse to associate with anyone because we still have to associate with ourselves. Our relationship issues begin within us as we are the cause of most all of our relationship issues.

In order to truly have successful interactions and relationships with others, we must first have a healthy relationship with ourselves.  I spoke on “Building Relationships Begins with You”. During that keynote speech, I was attempting to get the leaders in the room to understand that they must first find balance within themselves.   I was fortunate to meet so many new individuals and hear about their quests and issues in life and career. In one setting I met a team of individuals who are truly amazing, but are struggling in a work environment that is not supporting their true skills.   It really brought to life how we go through each day without truly seeing the potential we have. We have lost our purpose and are unable to lead or truly experience strong relationships because we are so caught in our own life redundancy and failure to see beyond the barriers we live within.

Think about your week.  How did you feel when you headed to work each day?  Dreading the “commute” or excited for the day? How were your relationships at work during each day?  Was there a great deal of complaining or a great deal of positive, productive relationships and work? What about your time at home following your work day?  Did you have positive and loving relationships or tired and confronting relationships? Look at your week. Evaluate how you felt about yourself each day. What was your focus on?

Is "Creativity & Ego" like "Oil & Water"?

"Creativity and Ego" is like "Oil and Water"

From Zen Buddhist nun, Jeong Kwan, we get the statement that 'Creativity and Ego cannot go together'.  Her words are saying that we must not be our own obstacle. Her vision is that we must be free in our mind in order to allow creativity to flow freely.  If you want to be creative in all you do, then you must lose the elements of the ego that create jealousy, comparisons etc.....  Like Oil and Water where you may see them mix temporarily, they will then separate again. In your life can you remove the oil from the top of your water and find the creativity to create solutions to issues you face.  Find your passion and lose worry about competing with others, what they are thinking, or what others are doing.  Set your mind to flow like water and create a life of success and happiness.  Lose your ego and stubborn pride and self doubt, create a stream of hope and creativity.

I truly have a vision to help ALL around this world and continue to build an International Team of Individuals who want to help create positive change in this World!

Unhelpful Labelling

Dissociating unhelpful labelling for change:

Most individuals confuse their behavior with their identity. We must dissociate them from the unhealthy behavior to get successful change.  If someone says they are an alcoholic or a smoker…no that is the behavior.

Do we associate our behavior with who we are?  We often destroy young children's self esteem by labeling them by their behavior.  When a child does something bad, how many of you say to them "You are Bad"?  After continually hearing this statement, the child then associates their behavior as their identity.  We need to focus on correcting the behavior and not labeling the individual.

Simple solutions exist if you allow your mind to accept them.

Ask Yourself

“Does this make sense?”

Ask yourself this question when faced with a decision or an opportunity.  Let your ‘gut’ be your guide and not those who want to direct you.  Think it through and understand the entire picture to your decision.  All the issues you have in life, you created.  Stop getting into those issues.

Live For Today

Today you have control in your life, tomorrow is waiting for today's results.

We often spend so much time worrying about the past and worrying about tomorrow, that we fail to live for today.  You can't change what happened yesterday, you can only recover and move forward.  Don't set expectations about tomorrow and create unrealistic outcomes.  So often we determine in our minds that we will fail or that something is going to go wrong tomorrow.  We begin to worry and create anxiety in our lives.  You see, today sets the foundation of tomorrow's successes and failures.  One must live for today with all the positive energy he/she possesses.  Yesterday was an experience that can help you mold what you do today and tomorrow is just waiting for the results.

Take time today to truly listen to the world around you and to yourself.  Learn to build the foundation that will develop the life that you were meant to live.  Don't let past failures and others determine your tomorrow, build your tomorrow by living You today.

Let's Hear Your Voice

What's Happening in Your Corner of the World?

Where can I help?  Understand Your Power in this World.  Perceived Power -vs- Actual Power.

I'm In the process of building momentum and finding the solutions to Your issues in this World!

I had the wonderful opportunity to have an Intern from China this past Summer.  Judy opened my eyes to her world and we were able to help her discover her true potential.  She is working to create an amazing venture helping people in small villages.  

The first thing I have kept in my mind is to find something you like and make money with it,having fun in your job. I remember the first day I went to IC,you asked me what my hobby is .I have been looking for it until today,I still can't find it. But I have changed my ideas about hobbies and interests.....

The second thing is to be good for people. What makes me impressive at the  beginning is to be good for people.I totally agree that it is very important to be good with people and make difference to the world....

The third thing is there is no limit. What I felt about is that American people love dreams,they are willing to dream whatever they want and they believe that this gonna work.But I am used to evaluate it before I do or even think about it.Mostly the evaluation will stop me from what I am going to do or even think about it any more.I had a very tough time in persuading myself to believe that this project is going to work and it is not meaningless.But I was totally surprised after I talked with....

Judy (Chinese College Student)

Keeping my life open to the World around me has enriched my life.  Working individuals around this Country and the World has truly made life a wonderful adventure.  I am always amazed at what happens when you bring 'light' to the 'shadows' that surround individuals.  My heart opens and my mouth speaks with the passion from within.

Also you preaching is the best. You are easily one of the best people I have ever met. You have been through so much. Many bad things and good things. No matter what happens you always seem to keep your passions going and help others pursue their passions. You are a very smart, funny, and very giving. You have helped me so much, you gave me a very awesome job that I actually love. It was always great coming to work. Laughing all the time and just having a blast, while still doing things that I loved, like making videos. Thanks to you I am taking lessons with an amazing actress and I have network with other people. You really helped set myself up for a very promising future. Helped me get out of my comfort zone which was really holding me back. I will always consider you as one of my best mentors. If I need any advice I know you are always there.

Thank you so much!
