Who you are and what you do are tightly joined. One helps the other all the time.

You act on your life to get what you want – doing the work and creating the life you desire and as you do:

• You learn who you are
• You see what you are made of
• You discover what works for you or against you 
• You know what keeps you in integrity and what may tempt you out of integrity

Your work is who you are. You become who you are by the choices you make. There should be no hierarchy for success and happiness.

Martin Luther King beautifully describes knowing who you are and what you are chosen to do here on earth:

“If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures,
sweep streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets like Leontyne Price sang before the Metropolitan Opera. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.’

If you can’t be a pine at the top of the hill, be a shrub in the valley. Be the best little shrub on the side of the hill… If you can’t be a highway, just be a trail. If you can’t be a sun, be a star. For it isn’t by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.”

I especially love – “Be the best of whatever you are.”

That’s what my life is all about. Excellence. Being The BEST I can be in all I do. That’s Magnificence!

I’m a creative. I offer service to other people in the work I do as a Life and Career Coach, Real Estate Rental and Sales Agent, Writer. (Yes capital letters because I’m proud of the work I do.) I’m a go-getter. Nothing derails me from my dreams.
Integrity is my center. The world is on my side, making sense, helping me to feel safe, comfortable and happy.

Trust in what you want and go after it.

Act on your life.

Trust that the universe is plotting your success… leading you right into your ‘lot’… your work… your dream and life purpose.
