The only big ideas I’ve ever had came from daydreaming, but modern life keeps people from daydreaming. Every moment of the day your mind is being occupied, controlled by someone else – at school, at work, watching television. Getting away from all that is really important. You need to just kick back in a chair and let your mind daydream.
Paul MacCready Quotes
Power Thought Coaching:
Yesterday we spoke about the importance of creating the time and the space to define what it would mean for us to live a “full and glorious life”. Today I’m not only am I giving you permission to daydream – I’m asking you to! When was the last time you laid down in the grass, watched the clouds and simply let your mind wander? Or turned off the television and just stared at the ceiling? Or read a book or listened to music that let you slip the confines of your day? What would happen if you let life gently show you a different way?

Stop sitting there with your hands folded looking on, doing nothing; Get into action and live this full and glorious life.
Eileen Caddy Quotes
Power Thought Coaching:
In the crush of day to day life an examined life might look completely out of reach. Living spaces, work areas and even wilderness parks are becoming busier and more and more cramped. Creating both the time and the space to deeply ponder the nature of life and the quality of our own lives – and what we would wish for them – is seeming more and more like just a nice idea. It’s a journey that takes a lot of courage to face and many times the things on our to do list are little more than a way to avoid facing the awful truth of what we have – and haven’t – created in our lives. What activities can you de-clutter from your to do list? What have you turned into daily rituals that don’t have to be? What daily or weekly rituals could you redesign to lighten your burden or even outsource altogether?

I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass.
Mayo Angelou Quotes
Power Thought Coaching:
All of us have had times in our life when we were grabbing life by the lapels and taking names later! It’s also true that many of us – especially in these trying and troubling times – feel a lot less like the windshield and a lot more like the bug. And some of us have become so entrenched in the struggle to survive and have been for so long that we’ve forgotten why we would bother grabbing life by the lapels in the first place.
It happens. It’s as natural as the changing of the seasons that we lose our way at times and thank God for it! We’ve changed and grown and sometimes need a good swift kick in the seat of the pants to get us to slow down long enough to re-discover our dreams or to bother checking in and see if our old dreams are even still a good fit for us.
What seasons have been at work in your life? What season is your life in now? What season do you see coming into your future and what do you have to do to prepare for it? What dream do you have for your life that would be so gargantuan and powerful and so very compelling that it would pull you through the seasons to come without effort, strain or struggle? What is the biggest dream you could possibly dare to dream?

The true stewardship of a woman lies not in what she has, but in how she affects the lives of others.
Rheba Washington-Lindsey Quotes
Power Thought Coaching:
I’m like anyone else and I have days where the only balance sheet I see is the one that shows what I have and what I don’t have yet. We get to be reminders to each other of the ways in which we matter and how we make our lives count for something. How are you affecting the lives of others? How do you want to affect the lives of others and what do you need to do to fill that gap?

Politics hates a vacuum. If it isn’t filled with hope, someone will fill it with fear.
Naomi Klein Quotes
Power Thought Coaching:
Whatever your opinion may be of Obama he clearly met a deeply held need for inspirational leadership. We’re starving for it and he offered us hope in the face of rabid fear and hate mongers. It would seem that we all have the opportunity to replace fear with faith and hope in our lives. Where do you need to be filled with hope?
