Stuck? Quick Catalyst for Change
Orchid and dropped blossoms

If you consciously or unconsciously resist change, this simple thought could be the start of something new!

This short video was inspired by my daughter Colleen and her realization that change could be additive. Wha…?!!! It certainly has worked for her on her path to achieving recognition as an artist in NYC.

Let me know what you think of this quick catalyst for change:

P.S. If you noticed those were dropped buds not old blooms on the paper, you were right. It’s what happened when I moved the plant, but I hope you still got the idea  😉

In her TEDx talk, Dr. Betsy Blackard:

♥ Shows you a fresh perspective on how kids work 

♥ Offers a new idea for helping kids tap into their intrinsic motivation

♥ Gives you proof (watch what this 14-month-old does!)

You may just find that you walk away with a new perspective on your own motivation as well!

    Awesome! I definitely associate change with loss. I can’t wait to see what effect this realization has on the big changes I want to have happen in my life!
