Achieving Dreams

The Gift of Possibility

Kayla MacArthur

When was the last time you allowed yourself to dream? Like, really dream—not, this-is-what-I-can-see-as-happening dreaming. I’m talking about the kind of dreaming that’s free from any form of resistance. The kind of dreaming that goes beyond what the mind can predict. The kind of dreaming that brings you face to face with a vision you didn’t know existed. When was the last time you played a game with possibility? A game where you call out your deepest desires; where the only rules are: What would you create with your life if you knew you could not fail and you had no fear? When I play this game with my people...

Is Willpower Helping You Create More of What You Don’t Want?

Willpower

When you want something, you want it.You’re persistent and determined. You’re in it for the long haul.You don’t give up or quit easily. Willpower is a blessing, right? It can be—when you’re using it as fuel to create more of what you want. Willpower is tricky because it keeps you in the game, but it can be difficult to see when you’re playing for the wrong team. Just like willpower is the magic that conjures up what you intend to create, it can also be a spell that holds you back. Maybe you’re pinning all of your hopes and dreams onto a specific outcome that’s not in the cards for...

Are You Living Your Life on the Same Three Mile Loop?

At the beginning of the year, I set an intention to run another half marathon in May. I created a plan and started to train, but by March, it became clear that my body was not up for the task. The training was too rigorous, too soon. And so, knowing better than to ignore my body’s protests, I hatched a new plan: I would master the three mile loop that stretched behind my house and once I could run that with ease, I would increase the mileage. Forwarding through the summer months, I followed my plan consistently—I’d set off early into the fresh morning, feet pounding the golden pavement as...

If You’re Feeling Stagnant…

Where are you “waiting” in your life? What do you keep saying you want to do, but haven’t done yet? Over the past month, I’ve started to see all of the places where I’m waiting. I’m waiting to write until inspiration strikes. I’m waiting to hire my Coach at the 1:1 level. I’m waiting for my person to magically appear. I WAS waiting to ask for a raise at my part-time job, but I ended up doing that last week. {Yay!} The list goes on and on, from big things to little things and everything in-between. My mind wants me to believe that there will be a “right time”—that everything...

The Profit First Method: Overcoming Feast or Famine in Your Business

profit first method

Money has always been a struggle for me.It’s likely something I’ll be mastering for the rest of my life. While I’ve increased my capacity to earn over the years [from my own hands, tears, and heart], hanging onto it has been a different beast entirely. It’s easy for me to experience feast or famine in my business—to create large sums, reinvest them, and deplete to the point of pain before replenishing again. In November, I had a powerful insight followed by an even more powerful question: 💭 How can I relate to money as a circle instead of a pendulum? A circle has no edges. It’s infinite. It travels around...

To the Ones Who Disappear

We spend an hour together, diving deep into you. You see so much for yourself and I do too. You want so much for yourself and I want it for you too. As we talk, it feels electric. Like our paths were meant to cross. We look at what you want. We look at what’s holding you back. We look at what it would be like and feel like to receive support to get there. You say you think you’re ready and I challenge you. Are you sure? Because “thinking” and “being” are two very different things. We talk at length about how you might block support, in the same...

I Was Never Aware of How Often I Make Myself Invisible…

Whether that looks like dumbing myself down in conversation or dreading the question: “What do you do?,” it all leads back to hiding. While I knew hiding was going to come up because of the Rich Litvin Intensive, I never realized how often it seeps into my every day life. Bringing this strategy to the surface has been like shining a big ol’ spotlight so when it occurs, I actually SEE IT. Here’s what I’ve been seeing: -I become weird and awkward in conversation, especially if it’s with someone whom I perceive to be further behind on a shared journey. -I feel queasy when sharing my credentials and success {although,...

The Art of Transformation: How to Move Beyond Plateaus & Feeling Stuck

Every week, you bring something different to me, but it always ends up being the same. There comes a point where we dance around the same conversation, over and over again. And while other Coaches would feel like they’ve failed you, I know we’re just getting started. I’m happy to be here with you—to witness you—because when it looks like nothing’s happening, everything is actually happening. More time goes by and even you begin to notice that wherever we start, we always end up at the same place. It’s the road you don’t want to walk down. It’s the door you don’t want to knock on. It’s the place you...

Read This When You’re Shrinking, Hiding, or Drowning in Smallness

Sometimes, you feel so small. And tired. With every passing minute, you shrink a little more. And you wonder: Will I ever rise again? Just last month, you were on top of the world and now you feel like hiding. Actually, when you think about it—this is your predictable pattern. When you zoom out to look at what’s really happening, you see that every time you take a step closer to what you want, every time you reach a milestone {or you don’t}, every time you create something you previously deemed impossible, a switch flips and instead of feeling powerful and mighty, you spiral down into smallness. Your thoughts become...

The Power in Declaring it Quits

Not long ago, you were on top of the world when you declared: THIS! This is it! This is what I want to create next! With excitement fizzing through your veins, you generated a plan. You set goals and deadlines. You determined the actions you needed to take. You even took on some of those actions, riding the high that flows with forward momentum. And then—not ill-meaning on your part—you put the project down because other things required your attention too. And as you focused on those other things {rightfully so}, this beautiful, thrilling idea began to collect dust in the dark corner of your to-do list. The space between...
