In this article, we offer suggestions on which smart financial goals to set to reach your goals!

1. Create an Incentive

If you’ve lost weight, you likely set up an incentive, such as going on a trip after reaching your goals. You can do the same thing by creating an incentive for saving money. Continue reading

The Akashic Records Of October 2018 (An Excerpt)

energyJen Eramith – The energy this month sounds like a drumbeat in the distance growing louder and stronger. It is also like the image of a tiny seedling on time-lapse photography growing into a giant tree. There is a feeling of swelling and growing in a supportive environment. It is not that you are being pulled upward; it is you are being lifted upward by supportive, nurturing energy.

This energy is an outgrowth of what has occurred in September — a sense of coming together, forming stronger friendships, and becoming a better ally to those around you. This arises from allowing others to support you as well. The energy this month has a grassroots feeling of people coming together. There is truly a feeling of choruses singing in harmony. It is not quite a celebration of victory, but more of a sense of cheering together, “We can do this.” Continue reading

Trying to find balance with lots of socializing- New Moon Outlook 9/30/2016 [Video]

Joseph Anthony – We have a more hospitable welcoming committee beginning with the New Moon in Libra on October 1st, suggesting that we reach out and connect with others. This lunation will be joined by benevolent Jupiter, which entered Libra on September 9th, bringing with it greater opportunities to improve our relationships over the coming year.

Fiery energy is the air on October 15-16 when the Full Moon in Aries supercharges our desires. Spontaneity will be rampant during this lunation bringing with it a strong yearning to achieve our goals, as long as it doesn’t become something else. With the Moon tightly conjunct retrograde Uranus the focus is on independence in this assertive sign. Mars, ruler of this lunation, is conjunct Pluto so we’re more inclined to be brave little soldiers but with Uranus in the mix, there’s also the potential for assertive mindedness. This lunation could be highly invigorating or be peppered with a desire to shock and break free.

How Is The Incredible Accomplished?

Inspire Me Today June 10 2013

One of my favorite figures from history is President Theodore Roosevelt. He lived an amazing life. He accomplished so many big things – he built the Panama Canal, won a Nobel Peace Prize, started America’s national parks system.

But he received a great deal of criticism during his lifetime, exactly because he dared to do big things. After his presidency, he gave a speech in response to all of those who had been hollering and sniping at him through the years. In it, he said that “it is not the critic who counts. The credit belongs to the one who is actually in the arena.”

I find myself thinking a lot about what President Roosevelt said. I think a great deal about battling in arenas. We live in a world that is in many ways broken and scarred – a broken, weary world that loves to kill our dreams, to strangle them to death before we have a chance to fully nurture and embrace them. We live in world vehemently hostile to hope.

Theodore knew this well. He pointed to the critic outside of the arena, and we must confront him as well. Choose to live your life at full volume, with strength and joy and passion, and you will surely confront those who will try to tear you apart. The fight in this arena will be harsh and difficult. Living an inspired and inspirational life is often difficult and unglamorous, completely devoid of glitz and pomp. The road is painfully perilous and uneven, and it will take a long, long time before our dreams will be achieved.
