I’m often asked this question…

How is it that some people who are faced with challenges move through them and grow and thrive.  And then there are others who are faced with challenges and they let the challenges destroy them.

Working with many clients over the last 20 years and studying the most current research on neuroscience, how the brain works, there is only one conclusion I can draw.  It depends on what you focus on.  You may think, well that’s easy for you to say but……..

I too have had my challenges, so I appreciate how if feels when you find yourself in scary, uncomfortable situations.  I was a single mom when my daughter was 6 months old and my son was 3 years and I had breast cancer twice, to name a few. But I knew I had to rise above these situations in order to move forward.

I’ve been asked many times how I was able to do that and create a happy, fulfilling and successful life.

It wasn’t easy, but it was simple.  Here are a few things that will support you in living the life you want.

1. You have to be clear about what you want your life to look like.  What experiences do you want to have in all areas of your life.
2. You have to take full responsibility for your life.  This is not about blaming yourself, it’s about recognizing you have the strength and power to create the life you want.
3. You have to be willing to do what it takes.  You have to make changing your life a priority.  You have to have a deep desire to create the life you want.
4. You have to know who you are at the core.  What are the qualities and characteristics that are your true essence and then make decisions based on your core identity.
5. You have to remove any internal obstacles such as negative emotions and limiting beliefs that are stopping you from living the life you want.  You have to do the inner work so you can create your outer world the way you want.

I was fortunate enough to be introduced to NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), which gave me the tools to change my life.   This is why I love sharing this with others.   If this inspires you to change your life please contact me about my NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner Certification and Identity By Design Workshop.

Have you ever had a vision that you gave up on?   For 17 years, I’ve held on to a vision of The Robinson Group training team and my vision has finally become a reality.  We have recently welcomed 3 new trainers to our team.  So many times people have approached me about working with us and somehow it just wasn’t the right fit.  At times it was very disappointing.  It’s so easy to give in and give up, and make choices that you know aren’t giving you what you want.  Every so often I would think that this is never going to happen…..and tell myself to just forget it.  But, somehow, it would always pop back into my head and if I was honest, I knew I still really wanted to create a training team with like minded people.

Today was a great day. I was reminded about how important it is to feel good about yourself and how high self-esteem influences how we see ourselves and also how we perform on a daily basis. Self-esteem also impacts how we feel about ourselves. When we feel good about ourselves, we have self-confidence. We look forward to learning and growing. We also know we can overcome any challenge that comes our way.

When we’re young and innocent, we see the world as a place of possibility and at some point, for many people, that changes.

Our beliefs are so powerful and yet so elusive. We succeed or fail based on our beliefs. Most people live their life waiting to be shown something is possible while others forge ahead creating their life believing they can do it, without any concrete proof, just a deep knowing that it’s possible.

Well, this trip to England has definitely had a magical and meaningful start. When things are meant to happen and you’re meant to meet someone, no matter what you do or where you are, it somehow happens in the most unexpected ways.

As I was standing up to deplane at Heathrow airport, I hear a voice behind me calling quietly “Is that you Lynn Robinson?” When I turned around, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
