Can you believe how fast this year is moving along? I wonder . . .
- Have any of your dreams come true yet?
- Did you attract a new love or strengthen and expand the love already present in your life?
- Did you magnetize an amazing work opportunity or realize the dream of working for yourself?
If your answer to any of those questions is yes, WONDERFUL! I am thrilled for you!
However, if any answer was 'no, not yet,' I have some advice.
There are 3 Ways to Move Your Life Forward Now outlined below:

1. ALLOW YOUR DREAMS TO SHOW UP
How often have you had an amazing idea pop into your head, only to have you dismiss it almost as fast as it showed up? Your inner dialogue is: "I can't possibly be, do or have that) . . ."
So many women have lives that do not challenge or inspire them simply because they do not dare to allow their dreams, hopes, and ideas to fully show up. Have you ever done that?
I encourage you to allow your dreams, hopes, and ideas to develop before you shut them down. Don't even consider the reasons why something will not work. Just spend time pondering why it is possible and why your brain came up with it in the first place.
Allow that inspiration to become your aspiration because your brain is more powerful than you know. It already believes you can do it!
2. BELIEVE
What you believe is at the core of everything.
Henry Ford said: "If you believe you can or believe you can't, you're right."
Belief is what turns your dreams and ideas into your reality. Everything you will ever accomplish and attract has everything to do with what you believe you will accomplish and attract.
Your belief will become your reality.
For example, let's say you want to attract love into your life. You are single and want to get married. But, deep down inside, you believe no one will ever fall madly in love you and then marry you.
Your inner critic then goes into all out assault mode indicating you are too fat, too old or too settled. She may even tell you men are intimidated by your success. You believe your inner critic.
Your belief will determine how you carry yourself. The way you carry yourself is the nonverbal messaging which says it all. You may even try to convince yourself that you don't really believe in love anyway. Guess what, your belief becomes your reality . . . no one will love or commit to you on that level.
Everything you want begins with believing it is possible for you.
3. TAKE ACTION + GET SUPPORT
If you want to create a different life now, take action now. Yes, NOW!
Even if that action is simply to allow your dreams, hopes, ideas, even wishes to spend time hanging out in your head. That alone is action.
Then, think about who you will need to enlist to support from to having that dream or idea become a reality. For example:
- Do you need an objective partner to brainstorm and mastermind your dreams, hopes, and ideas with?
- Do you need someone to help you strategize your next steps?
- Do you need someone to be the person whose only agenda is to reinforce to you that yes, you can do it?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, I can help. It is what I do every day with women lawyers just like you. Interested? Email me confidentially at [email protected] or here on LinkedIn.
