Theresa’s TNT (Tip ‘N Tool): Are You Moving In The Right Direction?
“A thousand mile journey begins with the first step.” – Lao-Tzu
I had an interesting experience while taking the elevator down to the lobby after a doctor’s appointment at New York University yesterday. Another woman and I had hopped on on the 9th floor and began chatting. The elevator stopped a few seconds later, and for some reason, we thought we had gone up instead of down. Although the sign on the elevator indicated we were now on the 8th floor, it took us both a few seconds to realize we were going in the right direction! What a great metaphor!
The next time life throws you a curveball, or you wonder if you’re going in the right direction, don’t give up too soon! Be open to the possibility that you may be right on course. Things aren’t always as they appear.

Preamble
We all experience discouragement from time to time. The key, when in the midst of challenge, is learning to stay positive. This week’s TNT provides a strategy to change your point of view.
Wednesday’s TNT (Tip ‘N Tool): Focus On The Positive
“If you keep saying things are going to be bad, you have a good chance of being a prophet.” – Isaac Bashevis Singer
It’s easy to feel frustrated when things don’t go our way or take longer than we wish. We may become discouraged and think that what we want will never come to pass. Over time, if not mindful, the things we tell ourselves may become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Want a different outcome? Tell a different story! Shift your attention from what’s ailing you and focus on your wins! Keep a journal of all that’s going well and add a daily entry. Experiment and try it for a month. See if your outlook has changed.
Need some ideas? Here are a few to get you started:
- Caught the bus on time and even got a seat!
- Had lunch with a friend.
- Left work on time.
- Began a project I had been neglecting.
- Spoke up for myself at a meeting.
- Etc., etc., etc.
Have fun with it!
As always, I would love to know how it goes!
With love,
Theresa

Preamble
One of my favorite books is “It’s Your Time,” by Joel Osteen. It is filled with inspirational messages that remind us that we all have a Divine Destiny waiting for us to say “Yes” and answer the Call.
Your Divine Destiny
“Too often we procrastinate or we allow negative thoughts and self-doubt to discourage us from chasing our dreams. As a result our gifts go undeveloped. Sometimes, we allow disappointments and failures to steal our confidence, and again, our treasures remain buried. Insecurities and low self-esteem can convince us that we have nothing special to offer.” –Joel Osteen
We all have gifts, talents and abilities within us. Like the seed that contains all that it needs to grow into a beautiful tree, so do we have all that we need within us to give birth to our dreams. But just as the seed needs to be planted in the earth and requires the sun and rain to flourish, so we do need to plant our dreams in the fertile soil of our minds and say “yes” to the Call. Getting started is often the most difficult part of the journey.
It all begins with a desire, followed a the decision to say “yes” to something new, to change, to greater health, happiness and fulfillment – in whatever form resonates with you: a relationship, a new career, a new life path or direction. Then it’s up to you to follow the inspiration and guidance you receive. It may come in the form of a phone call, an offer, a book title, or an unexpected synchronicity. Stay open to the message and trust the guidance you receive. The more you act on it, the more will be revealed. And the more the seeds of your Divine Destiny will flourish.
If you need support in identifying your greatest dreams and goals, it is my pleasure to offer you an Introductory Coaching Session. We will get acquainted, discuss your goals and see if might work well together. To schedule your complimentary coaching session, email Theresa@reconnecting2you.com.
