Appreciation Challenge Day 19 – Use Your Best Gifts to Create an Abundant Life

Today is my mother’s birthday and she is 69 now.

My mom is an ordinary and traditional Chinese woman. She has a humble life without big things to boast, but some gifts have definitely been shining through her life to make her a unique contribution to people around her.  My mom had a tough childhood during China’s most chaos years in its contemporary history. She lost her parents when she was little. She was adapted by a family without children. When she was a teenager, China’s Cultural Revolution impacted the adaption family that they were persecuted by local authorities who also forced my mom to draw a line from them. My mom joined the local opera troupe to start work and support herself when she was about 10. With only an elementary education at a level of grade, she developed herself to be an opera artist with her eager of learning, intelligence and diligence. She has been a great learner all her life. Her artistic talents in singing, dancing and performance have brought people big enjoyment of life, and have continued to enrich herself and others even after her retirement.

My mom has another impressive gift, that her sincerity, openness, easy going and kindness have attracted her many friends. She can make new friend at any minute anywhere she is, and always be ready to help. One example among many about my mom’s personal charm is, she made new friends with a couple in New York City’s community park while she was visiting us, they treated her dinner, and after she returned to China, the couple have been in touch with her for a few years till now. Having friends is a treasure. My mom just celebrated her 69^th birthday with a bunch of friends in Beijing and took quite some pictures. She was happy and looked like still in her 30’s! Without me and my sister’s families near her, she is handling her retirement life very well. I made a wish that we will gather to celebrate her 70^th birthday and she could live with us in the near future.

Among my mom’s all gifts, the best is shining from her diamond heart. She is the one from whom I find the most love, and the most pure and unconditional love. Then came my two children, a double proof of unconditional love. Whenever I may have doubt of human love in this world, I look at them three, my perfect heroes with love. When we were living together, she always took care of me in every detail. She loved her grand kids similar way too. Now living in distance, she would share with us dozens of news and TV photo resources everyday through social media on health, nutrition, beauty, etc. all positive ones. I have shared quite some great resources from my mom to my network. She is part of my inspirations!

My mother represents an ordinary person with special gifts, who can live an abundant life that overflows to influence and enriches people around. You, my dear friend, also have your special gifts, your unique ones, that are blessed to you to give to others.

The purpose of life is to discover your gift.
The work of life is to develop it.
The meaning of life is to give your gift away.

~ David Viscott

Dear friend, what are your best gifts? What gifts would you further develop and give to the world? I hope you can discover and write down your top 5 gifts, use them to give and serve, build up your dream career with your gifts, and create an abundant life that is meaningful and fulfilling!

Sincere Love and Blessings,

Appreciation Challenge Day 18 – Your Best Motto to Live By

I did not have a motto until one day my mentors asked me to share my motto. It’s a great question, I thought.

I searched on Google. It explained Motto as a short sentence or phrase chosen as encapsulating the beliefs or ideals guiding an individual, family, or institution.

I had been holding some great values and beliefs, but never tried to use a short sentence to encapsulate my main beliefs and ideals. So I reflected and wrote down my first motto: “Love never fails. Live in abundance……” I know that’s two phases, but it works well for me.

“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” ~ Bible, 1 Corinthians 13:13

I soon found that motto is a great expression and powerful guidance to my life. Whenever I met big challenges or needed make some serious decisions, my motto is there reminding me what I believe the most and what I live by. It’s a reflection and resounding of my inner being. It’s like I’m seeing myself through such short phases.

Today my Motto is expanded as: Love never fails. Live in faith, passions and abundance……

My motto is a combination of my spiritual faith, philosophy, life purpose, and coaching belief.

I shared it with my partners, wrote it into my bio, and added it under my email signature…I found out that a motto could be your best affirmation, quote and personal hallmark, helping reassure yourself and acclaim to the world what you believe in and would live by.

A great motto reminds you the best being you are, and rewards you the energy that you give to your deepest belief and the world. It guides you and grows with you. It could be like a compass keeping you on the right path without missing your core and direction.

I believe that everyone should create their own motto. It’s your soul and heart’s slogan. It can guide your journey toward abundance and greatness. There are many good or humorous resources online about mottos that you can take as reference. Write down your motto today, post it, share it, have fun, and grow with it. Trusting that your greatest motto is on its way, so is your life. Live in a powerful way with your best motto!

We’d love to hear your motto and inspirations! Please share this article with others who may benefit from it. Thank you!

Sincere Love and Blessings,

Spring

Appreciation Challenge Day 17 – Passion Believes No Failure

Today is a new day. Everyday is.

I appreciate myself for being on this journey for over 7 years, a journey of clear passion and doing what I love. Since I clarified my purpose and passions 7 years ago, I have never looked back. Called to be an Abundance and Thought Leadership Coach, I carry on the mission to inspire and empower people to fulfill their purpose, dreams and passions. For me every day is a new day to pursue a further step on my passion, to remember my call, to align my life and decisions with my passion, to refine my focus, to use my curiosity and creativity, to connect with the right people, and to help and witness their transformation. Even though I met many challenges and difficulties on this journey, I never took any of them as my failure. I fell down, and I stood up again. I also do not feel like it’s a work. It’s more like an evangelism for me to spread and plant, with the abundance message of love, wisdom, happiness and success. My passion is an honorable job.

So to you, my dear friend. When you find your purpose and passion to do what you love with your gifts, your passion becomes your honorable job. It’s like a destiny, meant for your life.

Following your passion and joy and doing what you love is the blessed job from God. Hold the faith that you can never fail on this divine path.

Passion is what you love to do no matter what, even if you are tired or sick, even if you are not paid, or even if you have only limited time in this world. Passion is the divine DNA that is blessed to your life for you to fulfill and bless others.

“What you love and God’s will for you are one and the same……When you are passionate, failure is not an option.” ~ Janet and Chris Attwood, authors of the NY Times Bestselling book “The Passion Test – The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Life Purpose”.

I love this book and would recommend that every one should read it. It helps you clarify your top five passions, and align your life designing and decisions with them to fulfill a happy and successful life. It’s a foundation for you to develop a passionate life on. It’s one of those greatest books with profound wisdom and strategic exercises. If you are still not clear about your passions and what kind of future you’d create, get this book here now by clicking the above book image link and read it once you receive it. You will be happy that you do this for yourself!

Life is full of ups and downs, trials and tests. For a life without passion, failure is for sure. You could never be really happy without living on your passion. For a life living on passion, failure is not an option. Only a passionate you living on your purpose will believe no failure. You will become unstoppable!

You will see and experience that, life could be in two worlds, with passion, or without. Ignite your passion today, ignite your power and abundance!

Appreciation Challenge Day 16 – Who Are In Your Network for Your Success

Are you aware of what kind of people are in your network?

Your environment is most of people who are around you or connected with you. People around you decide your personal success. Renowned businessman Jim Rohn once said that,

“You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.”

Now it has become a popular saying in the personal development field.

Everyday I would extend my connections to be more meaningful and constructive, so I am paying more attention on who are already in my network and who will be invited into it.

There are five categories of people who you would like to invite or accept into your network for your development and fulfillment, also for mutual support and success:

1. Dears

People who love you and whom you love

Your family and best friends. Their unconditional love is your best nutrition and the foundation for you to grow and flourish.

2. Fans /Followers

People who admire and support you

Your fans, followers and social friends. They benefit from your values and energy, and in return, their endorsement and energy keep you move forward.

3. Illuminators

People who can inspire and empower you

Masters, leaders, mentors, coaches, and industrial successful people with greatness in and out. Their values and inspirations can ignite your passions to launch and thrive.

4. Niches

People who you want to serve the most

Your ideal clients and niche prospects. You understand their challenges and needs and resonate the most with their desires. You have great gifts and solutions to serve them.

5. Helpers

People who can provide resources that you need

Potential partners, networkers, marketers, and experts in diverse fields that your life and work involve. These people can provide resources you need to save your time and energy so you can focus more on doing what you love and achieve results more effectively.

Everyday be more conscious when you are developing your network. Over all, these five kinds of people will combine an environment where you will be supported and lifted up, where you will feel safe, happy and eager to develop and expand.

Especially pick up a few great persons, say 5 of them, whom you want to spend the most time with and to become the best of you. Write down their names, what you would do with them, and how often you’d keep in touch with them. If you do not have enough great persons around you, add potential names that you want to add into your inner circle and find ways to connect more with them.

Dear friend, where are you on your development journey? What kind of people are in your network? What kind of people would you add and expand? And what you may want to reduce or adjust? We’d love to hear your comment, story and inspirations! Please share this article with others who may benefit from it. Thank you!

Appreciation Challenge Day 14 – Believe In Yourself and Your Dream

I attended the Joint Venture Inside Circle’s monthly call for members who are most coaches. One inspiration the mentors shared was an encouragement for us all to hold onto our own genius zone, and believe in ourselves.

Every day we could get lost in our busyness and meet many challenges. We could feel stresses from work, relationships, finance, physical environment……yet normally the biggest stress and challenge come from within ourselves: our fears, our disappointment, our insecurity, and our doubts in ourselves. We are often so harsh on ourselves, that people say, we are our own worst enemy. No kidding, every day you can experience such self sabotaging many times consciously and unconsciously.

When you have a dream, or a desire, that you really want to realize, you can always feel some level of tension inside of you. Your dream wants to expand you, while your fears and doubts would try to contract you. You will experience much conflicts and even pains inside. You will become confused not knowing which voice to listen to and follow. No wonder The Secret emphasized that Believing is the most difficult while also most important phase.

Believing in yourself is the biggest struggling of any human being, and also the biggest secret to success!

I love these quotes too:

“If you do not believe in yourself, who will?”

“Believe in yourself, others will follow!”

“Believe in yourself, anything is possible!”

Sometimes, only quotes are not enough. We need more practices and strategies.

I’m appreciated that such inner struggling experiences helped me find out some great ways to deal with it so I can bounce back quickly. Here are some tips for you.

1. Face Yourself Honestly (Self Love)

Acknowledge all your feelings including the stresses and frustrations. Accept and embrace yourself, both good and bad, knowing that you are right what and where you are supposed to be.

2. Remind Yourself The Big Picture (Intention)

Every one has a shared purpose in this world, to fulfill abundance and happiness, for yourself, also for people you can serve with your gifts and talents. Your specific way to live in and serve this world is your unique purpose. Be clear about what your purpose is, and hold this big picture in your heart every day. Also post it where you can see easily, at home and in office.

3. Be Present (Attention and Creation)

Engage in everything you are doing, align it with your big picture, see how important it is to help you get closer to your big picture. Prioritize your time to do more of those that can help you get closer to fulfill your purpose and dreams.

4. Keep Your Sun Shining (No Tension)

Many personal development ways can help you relax and lift yourself up. Meditation, appreciation, your Thankful List, visualization, affirmation, reading, learning, taking nutritious food, exercising, making art crafts, playing with children, retreat, connecting with positive network, volunteering…… or at even higher level, getting regular coaching or mentoring to hold yourself accountable and uplifted to achieve better targets more effectively.

These practices will help you strengthen your faith and your mind muscles to believe more in yourself and your dreams, at the same time, to attract what you want with more ease and joy. Let’s ACT today! Always feel free to ask me for more help.

Appreciation Challenge Day 13 – Giver Is The Happiest

Today a piece of news shocked the world. Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder and chief executive of Facebook, announced that he and his wife would give 99 percent of their Facebook shares during their lives – holdings currently worth more than $45 billion – to charitable purposes. The pledge was made in an open letter to their newborn daughter, Max, who was born about a week ago. They are forming a new organization, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, to manage the money. Their initial areas of focus will be personalized learning, curing disease, connecting people and building strong communities.

Today the Internet and the world are full of this news, in different languages! It lifted up great positive energy waves. Most people admire their initiation, and believe that the whole world will benefit from it.

This time, people are not saying that I do not have that kind of money to spoil. Most are supporting them and expressed that they would help others in their own abilities, no matter it’s big or small, in material or not.

More and more people are awakening to this truth: giver is the happiest!

I really appreciate great people like Bill Gates and the Zuckerberg couple for what they have been doing and contributing to this world. This world is better because of them. They are the ones who really understand the truth of happiness and meaning of life.

I feel very happy to share their inspiring news to my friends near and remote, discuss with them, encourage each other to become better persons with more health, joy, success and contributions to this world. Some of them even started to study the charitable foundations rules in the US so they may utilize that someday when they become financially successful.

Dear friend, we do not need wait till we become rich to do goodness to this world. We can contribute in every day, no matter what we have now. Everything is energy. Starting from your compassion, smile, inspiration, encouragement, sharing, prayer, blessing, little charity, a hand to help others, extra materials to give, volunteering…… The world is full of opportunities for us to give!

Tony Robbins said, “Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.”

Dear friend, please always remember, giver is the happiest! I wish you have this blessing to give and to be happy every day!

We always love to hear your story and inspirations! Please share this article with others who could benefit from it. Thank you!

Sincere Love and Blessings,

Appreciation Challenge Day 12 – Your Best Choices and Investment

Everyone needs personal development. Coaches may be the ones that I know who love learning and self development the most. While we are inspiring and empowering our network and clients to reveal their best potential and reach their biggest dreams, we keep developing ourselves as well by learning from the best. Learning and growing everyday is our life. These are also the top two reasons why I love being a coach: helping others from the soul-and-heart level using my gifts, and also improving and fulfilling myself.

Everyday I open myself to learn new things, and share new inspirations. We also need our own mentors to help us stretch, overcome challenges, and fulfill in every aspect of our lives. Coaches normally have clear purpose, vision and intention for themselves, and they help their clients achieve so as well.

Today I received a marketing email message from an industrial master who is well known for both clear spiritual consciousness and practical business success. He is recruiting limited number of committed leaders to mentor. I really wanted to get mentoring like what he could provide. I took some time to evaluate myself, my situation and what I really want in 2016. Then, I did some research on a few masters that I really want to follow, to see what they are offering at this time. After comparison and further reflection, I made my best decision and purchased the products that are right for me from the master who is the best of best and who can mentor me with the rare greatness I admire.

I reviewed financial status with my husband, talking about investment portfolio and planning how much we could invest on different choices. Most people’s ideas are normally on stocks, real estate, businesses or other material things. We have one big item is investing in ourselves and our growth: knowledge, wisdom, health, coaching, mentoring, friendships, and partnerships. The self investment is especially important for me, and I am a really good saver on other material things as a non-shopping fan:).

In my list, investment on self development is my most important and best investment. Because any other products or services are like consuming, you put in money, get the product and services, the money is gone. Only investing in your personal development and growth is an investment with long term benefits and many folds of benefits to come along the way. Here is the secret, there’s nothing could make us happier than investing in ourselves. The more you invest in yourself, the happier and more confident you are, and the more committed you will be to what you dream and desire, as results, the more accomplishments you can achieve, and the bigger difference and impact you can make.

Dear friend, this holiday season, like any other holiday season before, I believe you will receive tons and tons of marketing messages, invitations and bonuses, to promote all kinds of merchants or services. What is on the top of your shopping list? What choices would you make? More consuming or more investment? What would be your best investment? What gift would you prepare for yourself? I wish your wise decision and investment will make you happy and confident to create a greater year with more prosperity and abundance!

We always love to hear your story and inspirations!

Sincere Love and Blessings,

Spring

Appreciation Challenge Day 11 – Zen in the Water and Have a Zen Attitude

Sunday afternoon is our swimming schedule. My two kids are attending a swimming school at the Aquatic Center. They have been making good progress. I used to be a duck on the shore. Watching my kids growing from initial fear and struggling to now enjoying the water and swimming, I was motivated to overcome my long-term fear of water as well. After all, I need be a role model for my kids, and not let them laugh at my fears. I also want to enjoy the water time with them, especially in the summer.

Initially I could only swim five meters by clumsy movement, daring not to change breath above the water. And that was what I learned in college and lasted for almost 20 years! Through observing, practice and persistence through last winter, I slowly learned how to swim the frog style or breaststroke. Then I learned to swim a little longer distance. After that I learned to change breath above the water. By the end of last winter, I could swim one whole lap! Now I could swim more laps in one hour, and am starting to learn free style. I also want to learn backstroke as well in the near future.

Today in the water while I was enjoying the swimming and taking new challenges to learn new style, I recalled how I was afraid of water and dared not to try it for many years. For some moments, I just relaxed and floated on the water with my face in it. Those moments I was like a part of the water, clean, peaceful, joyful, warm, and smooth like silk. I was fully present at the moments and forgot other bothering things or stresses. The word “Zen” got into my head. Yes, I felt Zen at those moments!

Those simple, peaceful, joyful and presence moments are most precious moments of our life.

I now remember that I also had such Zen moments when I was reading a good book, when I was walking in the forest park, when I was watching some beautiful arts, when I was writing a poem or personal journal, when I was meditating, when I was listening to some good music, when I was treating myself at a beauty salon…… I realized that I want and could have more such Zen time!

There is a great article “How to Have a Zen Attitude” on Wikihow.com, which taught three good methods:

1. Finding peace in your life
2. Recognizing your feelings
3. Giving yourself some space

The best Zen is in your own style and at your preferred ways. You just need be more aware of it and pay more attention on your daily life, what helps you release stress, what makes you present and relaxed, and what brings you peace and joy. Find them out and improve your awareness on those things. Then build up your rituals to do them more often. A Zen attitude will be naturally planted in your mind and heart.

Dear friend, I am curious to learn what are your Zen moments? Feel free to share your stories and inspirations!

Sincere Love and Blessings,

Spring

Appreciation Challenge Day 10 – The Secret Law of the Universe and Your Thankful List

Today I got the similar messages from different resources about the Secret Law of the Universe.

I was reading the book The Passion Test by Janet and Chris Attwood. In its chapter “What You Think You Become”, it emphasized the Secret which content was taught by them and made well known by Rhonda Byrne. It highlighted this critical principle: “What you put your attention on grows stronger in your life.”

More profoundly, it says, “When you realize that every single thing you experience in life has some benefit to offer you, you’ll discover that there is no longer anything to fight against or to be defensive about.” Aha, it makes us feel better, right?

It even revealed some saint’s deep wisdom, “The way to create whatever you want in life is by giving it to other people.” This I really resonate with. Since I started coaching profession 7 years ago, I have been spreading the inspirations on love, wisdom, happiness and success, as that’s what we all want more.

Later today, when I was checking my email, I saw one quote from Oprah Winfrey:
“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.”

Both resources expressed the principle for the Law of Attraction, the Secret Law of the Universe. We need focus our attention on what we desire and always be thankful for what we have, and such positive energy will attract more what we desire to our life. It’s important to remember and apply this universe law in our every day life.

I am grateful that before I fall into some scarcity traps, I was reminded with this secret law and I could reflect and adjust my attention and energy on more positive desires and what I already have. It’s a big shift!

I’m writing down what I already have in my life that I would be thankful for. It’s a long list. From basic life needs: good quality air and water, nice shelter, natural and convenient neighborhood, to more advanced needs: health, loving parents, lovely kids, big family, loyal friends, doing what I love and helping others, having good resources to learn from……

Dear friend, I would suggest you to write down such “What I Have and Be Thankful For” list. In short, let’s call it “Thankful List”.

        

Hang such lists near your bedroom and work desk, so you could be reminded every day and night. And every day feel free to extend the list by adding more things that you have and be thankful for. Review the list every day. Be content and thankful. Give what you want the most to others, like love and joy. Then peacefully watch and embrace the universe sending such gifts back to you, more and more. Your list will also grow longer and longer……

Let’s grow our “Thankful List” together, are you in? You can express your inner artist to make the list format creative. If you have a family, invite your partner and children to join you. Or you can invite your best friends to join you. Such a positive and thankful community will be your best environment to attract more abundance together.

I will look forward to hearing your comments, inspirations and good news soon!

Sincere Love and Blessings,

Spring

Appreciation Challenge Day 9 – Sesame Open the Door

Today I went to shopping with kids. After we returned home with a full car trunk of goods, I just found out that I forgot to bring the home key with me! And I have not got a chance to hide a spare key out side the house.

I called my husband a few times, no answer. I did not know where he was and when he may return home. All the windows are closed too.

I had to ask my neighbor to borrow a latter from them. Luckily they were having some construction workers helping updating their AC system and rebuilding the backyard. They not only sent a latter, but also their project manager climbed up for me to the second floor balcony. He then used a piece of wood to climb from the side balcony to the front door balcony, where there is a window of a room on the second floor. He tried different ways even with some tools, but could not open the double layered window.

My neighbor asked us to go to some nearby restaurant to wait for my husband to return, that we didn’t know when it would be and how long we had to wait. I decided that I could not let my kids and I be locked outside of our home and wait for hours.

So I looked around and investigated the house outside, and plead the project manager to try the bathroom window on another side, which is smaller but with inner window unlocked, and I asked him to cut the outside screen so he could get in. With his courage and clever move, and that piece of wood, he made it! We got into home in half an hour after we asked for the latter and help!

Both kids and I thanked the kind neighbor, the nice and capable project manager (with good tips of course:), and the great God! I’m also appreciative to my kids and myself that we did not give up and kept positive through the way.

This time we were much luckier than last time when I locked my car key in its trunk by accident! There were no help nearby. I searched on Youtube for tips how to open the locked car door, and tried different ways using different tools. I tried over one hour and almost gave up many times during the difficult process, but I still sustained and persisted. I finally opened it after one hour! I could claim myself experienced door opener now:), not because of any advanced tools, but my determination and persistence.

We could meet many challenges and difficulties in our life journey. Many times we may feel the door is closed to us and we do not have the key. We may even pray that, Sesame, Open the Door! But the door keeps locked. We try many times, by different ways, the door keeps closed. In desperation, we may want to quit, or we may want to change to other doors to go for different targets which may be not necessarily what we want the most. Many times we find that, the best we want, the more challenges we may meet. The results are most depending on how determined we are and how persistent we could execute. We need be willing to claim “Sesame, Open the Door” for no matter how many times and also believe in it!

Today as I am learning and reflecting on this new experience, it helped me to reopen my mind and heart to make different decisions on some most important and also most difficult things in my life: my love and my core relationship. I made new determination and would persist till I find the key I lost and the new key to my best dream.

Dear friend, are you determined to get what you want the most? Would you persist till you realize your dream? How would you be strengthened and held accountable through this journey of exploration and creation? We’d love to hear your comments and sharing!

Love and Blessings,

Spring
