I’m all fired up right now!
I’ve been getting tons of comments to my different posts and that’s AWESOME!
BUT…
About 1 out of every 4 comments gets me all riled up…
Why?
I’ll tell you why…
Too many people are wasting their energy on what everyone else is doing…
I’ve literally received a bunch of emails saying pretty much the same thing which is essentially this:
“Why should I live at 100% when nobody else does?”
I’ll tell you why…
BECAUSE IT’S YOUR LIFE!
Stop waiting for someone else or something else to change before you change…
If you do that, you’re going to have a life full of waiting…
This isn’t about anyone else…
This isn’t about the people who don’t care and don’t respect other people and don’t live anywhere near 100%. This isn’t about the government or what your parents didn’t do for you or who let you down.
This isn’t about anyone else…
It’s about you!
One of the most powerful quotes is “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
This applies to everything!
If you want your relationships to change…
Change who YOU are in the relationship.
If you want your money situation to change…
Change how YOU think about money.
If you want your health to change…
Change how YOU deal with your health.
If you want your LIFE to change…
Change how YOU live your life.
You are the creator of your world…that’s it.
There are always going to be less than desireable people, situations and events in your life…
But here’s the exciting part…
You can control how YOU react to these people, situations and events…
Get over it, stop waiting and stop giving your power away…
You can live an extraordinary life and you can start living it RIGHT THIS SECOND but you have to claim it…you have to decide that you are extraordinary no matter what other people are doing or believe.
You are extraordinary!
You were born that way…
1 step at a time is all it takes and the first step is to CLAIM it and decide that in this moment your life is yours and you decide what to do with it and how to act and react NO MATTER WHAT IS THROWN AT YOU!
You are extraordinary…
Are you ready to claim it?
This might make you uncomfortable…
Some of you may be so uncomfortable you choose to stop coming here…
Some of you may be so uncomfortable that you comment or email me with 1 more attempt to give power to anyone other than yourself…1 more email of “But the government” or “But everyone else” or “But my job” or “But my finances”…
Stop looking for buts…you will always be able to find them and as long as you do you will stay stuck EXACTLY where you are…
Sorry it’s harsh…but it’s true!
I promise you that no matter how terrible your situation is…
There is at least 1 person who has triumphed over worse…
I’m not minimizing your pain or the fact that there are some careless people in this world or that the economy is tough right now…you have right to all of that…but it’s not helping you anymore.
Stop clinging to it…
It’s no longer an option to define your world by anything outside of yourself…
Leave me a comment right now and tell me if you are ready to let go of what everyone else seems to be doing and claim your life…
Tell me EXACTLY what you are ready to let go of so you can step into your extraordinary self…
Do it now…your life can’t wait any longer!
Go Big!

Kristen – Ah the ole Monday morning wakeup call !!!!!!!!!!! Thanks. Brief rundown finished coaching with Tony Robbins group did nothing with it. Have opportunity to join new MLM company with one of top business leaders as my direct sponsor but have not pushed the button. Sorting thru the mental trash is worse than any of those reality shows and that is saying a lot. I Believe you can Be, Do or Have anything and yet continue to settle for anything but. New month ready for a Big Finish !!!!!!!! Thanks for the kick. I appreciate you. rich
You hit the nail on the head. The way I look at it is I want to live MY dream on my own terms, and no one will make me change my mind. Even though I am surrounded by many negative people who do not want to give 1% yet alone 100, I do my best to steer clear of them.
My life is my life and my dream is my dream and they (no one) will stand in my way.
Thanks for a great reminder, Kristen.

Great COACH
I’m on my way to the top. You will here from me
soon
Beautiful.
Hi Kirsten
Thank you for a wonderful post – Over the weekend I finally really GOT that the only person who can change my experiences is me!! yes, I’ve always know that intellectually but this has come as an all encompassing whole body mind spirit experience – and I have been happily and rapidly working away on my 30 days to transform my financial experience – more cash to live the life I REALLY want.
Thank you again – persistence pays off
Have a great day too – with much appreciation

thank you for showing me the way into life again. It’s good to be back on track to good things i lost track big time a way back . i will keep on track thank’s to you . Love you Regards John
ps: i love life again
Love this post, it really sends out a positive message. This will make you a leader and a unique individual. I just have to let go of my past more and live more in the moment. Thanks for this post!
OK. I accept that only I can create my world; only I can create my reality; and that I should be the change I want to be. I also accept that “but” may essentially be a cop-out; it may in fact be a feeble.
So here I am at a junction trying to determine which is the better of two paths to take. Each, path A and path B hold the promise of my reaching a cherished goal.
Living on a fixed income, I’m retired, and having about $1,000 in reserve presents me with a major problem.
Since my retirement I’ve become a procrastinator. And I quickly acknowledge that is probably just FEAR.
Either path requires commitment and I’m uncertain if I can muster the courage to take that first step.
Great encouragement, Kristen. Thanks for posting it. Too many people do not realize the power that they hold in their minds. Some are aware but are afraid and, believe it or not, some are just too lazy to employ their spiritual power!
Kristen
You are such an inspirational influence – thank you! Your wake-up call came just at the perfect moment!
HI
A quote i enjoy reading!
“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift”.
lets all focus on the present and live a full and happy life. lets all be the best you that you can be, know one can be like you and you cant be like anyone else because we all unique and special in our way. we live one life so lets make the most of it.
great article, really gets you thinking as to all the time we tend to waste focusing on our problems rather than working on the solutions.
take care!
Thanks Kristen! Your words speak volumes and are what I needed to hear. We must continually remind ourselves of this to keep us focused on what we want and to see the good of what lays before us. There will always be excuses and challenges that will be there as long as we let them. I commit to see the positive and not get caught up in negativity in my life. I will create my own reality!
Dear Kristen Howe,
Although I have not yet done what you want your readers to do, that is to GO BIG, I have actually started one small step to GO BIG, and that is to tell myself that my life can be in control, even as God is in control. Also, I have started in believing fully in myself and not to sabotage success for myself by entertaining thoughts of inadequacy. You have put in my mind that we are responsible for our success, that is, we are in charge of our life and that we must not think of outside forces for our diminished state but to cling to the belief that we can go over the hump if we will to do so.
I know that first things must come first. And the first thing I must do to GO BIG is to recognize who and what and how I am. I have to know myself, be acquainted with my strengths and weaknesses, and then work on strengthening my strengts and lessening the power of my weaknesses.
As a psychologist, I know what is called self-fulfilling prophecy. My coming into your line of communication is just that. You have come into my life when I am at the crossroads, ready to take on what I feel is the right path. I still have not decided what path to take. But you have let me ponder on this path and let me decide on what my gutfeel or intuition will tell me.
Thank you for not giving up on me. I still need your proding to GO BIG. I truly appreciate your words, GO BIG. We can only be as big or as small as our dreams. Yes.
Very truly yours,
(Miss) MIGEN L. OSORIO
i am ready to claim my power. its mine, not anybody’s. i believe nobody can stop me. i can do it if i am determined enough.

Hi kirsten,
I’ve just returned from Finland,and i’va had a great time over and i’m really looking forward to visiting Helsinki again.
I’ve been doing many things as keeping my home study on interiour designer and some NLP programs to learn about what it takes to be a life coach even to know my life doesn’t really look like much,and this just keeps me going because in todays society to change yourself is the first step in the evolution of everything else by taking back the control over your own dreams and how you see yourself but the question now comes back about control.
What if we just stopped tryin’ to control everything and just let everything go wouldn’t that give the extra boost in making your dreams come to life?
Go Big,
Bart
