Learn from Failure

Failure

Failure is not an option!

A perceived failure can only be described as such if the lesson is not learned. 

When we choose to learn humility, forgiveness, depth of reflection and better decision making skills, then, we have not failed.
Once a lesson is learned, it cannot possibly be a failure.

Everything happens for a reason and everything happens for our Highest Good! GOD is in the Business of Our Highest good. Therefore, if it happens and we learn the lesson, then, we can name the situation good and very good. 

The people that we admire and those we call GREAT have experienced situations that can be described as failures. What is the difference between them and a regular person?
They have made a conscious decision to dig deep within themselves and find the strength to get back up. 

If a situation is in front of Us, is because we have everything within us to be successful, therefore it cannot be a failure.

Life is a “Thinking Thing” and failure is not a thought that should be an option!

Testimonials

I LOVE Coaching

For the last 30 years of my life I have been struggling with my life as a working mother of 3, a “want to be” perfect wife, daughter, grandmother, house-maker, and keeping the house in perfect order. I have spent so much money on books, trying to find a way to manage it all, and, to “keep my house in order”, that the subject became an obsession.
At the beginning I blamed my children, then my husband, the grandchildren, but at the end, the blame (in my mind) fell on me, the I want to be “perfect wonder woman”.
With the help and guidance of my Life Coach, Coach Arthur, I realized that I can accomplish my dreams, if I organize my time, and let go of unnecessary “stuff” that have no place in our home.
Thank you Coach. Arthur, thank you for your wisdom and your help!
M. S., Secretary – Mother of 3 -Miami, Florida

“While working with Coach Arthur as my coach I have been thoroughly impressed with her ability to bring attention to what is most important. She really listened, gave me excellent ideas, and offered me her sage wisdom to take with me into my accomplishments.
Achieving my goals has been incredibly easy with her support. I mostly appreciate the clear and intelligent distinctions she has made that have allowed me to positively transform the way I’m doing something or how I’m viewing my life. Through her coaching I learned to give myself permission to succeed.
I’m in so much gratitude for what Coach Arthur brought forth in me at a time when I really needed the extra support. She is truly a brilliant star in my world.”
T. D., Life Coach, San Diego, CA

I must admit that in the beginning, I had no idea as to what a life coach was. I assumed that it would be like my uneventful meetings with the psychologist. I did not realize that I would see immediate results after the first session. Coach Arthur guides you step by step towards reaching your aim. Each week, Coach Arthur helped me to set small attainable goals that ultimately led to my success. Having Coach Arthur as my Life Coach is like having my own personal cheerleader rooting me on 24/7.
Y. F., Teacher, Mother – Miami, Florida

I tried Coach Arthur to release my debt and become liquid. Once I had my first session I felt inspired and ready to accomplish my goal. Coach Arthur was very firm in her follow up and held me accountable for my choices. I am still in the process of reaching my goal but I actually see a light at the end of the tunnel and my shopping habit has decreased quite a bit. I expect to be debt free in about a year and I have to thank Coach Arthur for leading me to realize my goal.
G. Z. P., Mother, Insurance Adjuster, Orlando, Florida

Some times you go thru life struggling with an “invisible enemy”, a problem, blaming family members for your “failures”, your spouse, your children. Then a Life Coach steps in, helps you make a few changes, then you realize that the so called “problem”, that has been hunting you for years, is inside of you, IS YOU !
I want to take this opportunity to thank my Life Coach, Ms. Miriam Carlota Arthur for guiding me, for being so patient, for telling me the “reality” in a way that I could see it, for not getting frustrated when I kept making the same mistake day after day, until the light came to me , and her words made me see!
Thank you!
M. S.,Secretary, Miami, Florida

I’m happy to share my experience. Just one session with Coach Arthur and I feel much more focused and relaxed. Because of this, I got a jump-start back into a more productive groove. It’s a good feeling to suddenly see, to become aware of, what the holdup has been. I snapped out of my funk, with Coach Arthur’s help, and I feel more hopeful, positive and happy. Thanks for the freebie, Coach Arthur! It was a pleasure to work with you! I highly recommend you as a life coach.
B., Chemist, Raleigh, North Carolina

My interaction with Coach Arthur was very lasting since she is very easy to talk to, friendly and eager to genuinely help others in need of professional and personal guidelines. I have not met a Life Coach like her before. I also continue to enjoy her correspondence as well as her web site inspirational and meaningful stories which most often relate to our personal lives.
W. J. M., Miami, Florida

Skeptical would have to be the word and the feeling I had when i reached out to Coach Arthur with questions and concerns on a new direction in my life. I had enough questions for myself and wasn’t sure if I had the self esteem to share my “fears with someone else. Coach Arthur got straight to the point and was so on target from Day one that it shocked me that I had so much information about “Me” in one day. I sat still for a moment and when I begin working the process I immediately felt some relief about my new direction in my life. During the remaining time with Coach Arthur I noticed plans that I had been holding on to for quite some time became tangible goals that I was completing or either I had placed them in my path to complete. I could see the forest.

Worrying is literally betting against Yourself!

Worrying is literally betting against Yourself!

Worrying is a total waste of emotion!
Regardless if you worry or not, the outcome will be whatever the outcome is going to be.
Your thoughts and your feelings have the power to re-direct your life.

If you are going to think, might as well think of thoughts in your favor. See yourself as GOD sees you, Whole, Healthy and Complete. When you begin a new endeavor, see yourself being successful with it and at it. LOVE Yourself enough to ONLY wish you well! When you have trials and tribulations, think grateful thoughts for the lessons that the situation will bestow upon you!!

Bet on yourself!
LOVE Yourself!
Consider thoughts a seed; plant seeds that will give you the fruit that you are longing for.

Happy Thoughts,

“I Bestow Blessings Upon You!

As I study the teachings of Joel Osteen I am now convinced that I have the Power to Bless others as well as myself.

Reading the 11th day of Joel Osteen’s daily word, it inspired me to bestow a Blessing upon ALL of my readers:

I Declare Abundant Blessings Upon You and Yours. GOD Blessed you with Faith, Peace and Understanding! As you walk through the day
I Bless you with the Faith you need in order to encounter your day Victoriously.
I Bless you with Peace so that you can walk through your day knowing that ALL IS Well!
I Bless you with understanding to convince yourself that no matter what you see you will be the last one standing.

I Bless You with the realization that as long as you put GOD First, you have Faith and Understanding you can have the Desires of your Heart!

Blessings!

Children MUST have Responsibilities at home!

Children MUST have Responsibilities!

One day before CHRISTmas a lot of us are going crazy shopping and giving our children EVERYTHING they want.

How do I feel about this practice?
I feel parents my age from 40 to 55 tried too hard to please our children, including me. You see, we we wanted to give our children what we did not have, and what we have done is created a generation who feel they deserve everything they want. At first it was cute, but now that our children are becoming young adults we are seeing that perhaps this was not such a good idea.

Our children need responsibilities and they need discipline, and it is not too late. They MUST earn what they receive from us parents just as we earned everything we wanted and needed as we grew up in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s.

I have a lot of clients that do not like me saying this, but the reason why our young adults are the way they are is because of us. If your children are not 18 – 30, and you are having a hard time getting them out of your house, you are still supporting them after they finished college, if you are still giving them allowance, we have no one to blame but ourselves.
The beauty of it is that is not too late!
You can decide in 2014 to allow them to take responsibility for their own lives!
They have to be responsible for the actions and the consequences their actions create!
We MUST stop bailing them out!

Choosing differently,

Our Children came from us but they are not us!

Our Children came from us but they are not us!

Don’t cut your child’s wings because of your dreams and aspirations. Your dreams are yours. Their dreams are theirs! As parents we are here to Guide, Cultivate & Support their dreams!

The Late Rev. Dr. Mary A. Tumpkin taught me many things during the 20 years that she was my Spiritual Teacher. One of the lessons that I received, and understood without much studying was: My two girls, Nie and Cat came from me but they are not mine. GOD sent them here for a reason; GOD put within them EVERYTHING they needed in order to fulfill their Destiny. GOD has a plan for them and I have no right to tell them who they should become.

I guided them into activities and they selected the activities which made their Hearts soar. Nie is an actress by birth. Is in her blood, and though a lot of people would disagree with their child following an acting career, my thought was, that is what makes her happy.

Cat is a speaker, a writer, a spinner. She might be a lawyer, she might be a writer, she might be a journalist, she might be an activist, she might even be a Politian. These are things I see in her, but never will I influence her (only guide) on who she will be in life.

Parents, it is not our job to divert our children’s dreams. Our job is to guide them, to show them their options, and ultimately, only our children can make that the decision.

Parenting with Wisdom,

LOVE YourSelf

When you read the words in the sand, you consider it elementary. Of course You LOVE Yourself! Really? Do you really LOVE Yourself?

Look at your life, look at the choices you have made, if you were someone else, would you say you LOVE Yourself? Below are a series of questions, answer them HONESTLY, and you will get a general idea on how you feel about yourself:

When is the last time you went to the doctor for a check up?
When is the last time you did something nice for yourself?
When is the last time you put your feelings, needs, desires before someone else’s?
When was the last time you said YES to you?
When is the last time you exercised?
Do you smoke?
Do you drink excessively?
Are you doing something to your body that you know deep inside is not healthy?
Are you following your doctor’s orders?
Listen to your self-talk, what do you think about what you are saying to yourself.
How do you feel when someone give you a complement?
How do you react when someone want to do something nice to you?
Do you ever call yourself a name?
When is the last time you took a nap?

As we enter 2014, let us all choose to LOVE Ourselves!
Believe it or not, LOVING OurSelves will allow Us to LOVE others more!

On the way to Truly LOVING Myself,

Coach Arthur

I Am Betting on Me!

I Am Betting on Me!

Worrying is literally betting against yourself!

As I forge forward with my Life Coaching practice, my main objective is to have my clients believe in themselves, LOVE themselves and choose themselves. I understand, and live that at times this is a challenge, and I am always trying to find new ways of getting the point across that WE MUST Choose Ourselves First!

When the student is ready, the teacher will come! As I looked for ways to drive my point across, the Universe placed this GREAT sign in my way, Imagine that!

“WORRYING IS LITERALLY BETTING AGAINST YOURSELF!”

Just typing it makes me smile! 🙂

I want to bet on Me! I want to be a Winner, I want to be able to live my life knowing that at the end of the day, no matter what, I am going to win regardless. GOD made me in His Image and His likeness, what else is there for me to do than to win? I have no other choice! I get it! As I feel like this about myself, I can’t help but to transfer this feeling to my clients!
What A Blessing!!!!!!!

As we begin to prepare for Our BEST year yet, 2014, I think this is the PERFECT sign to think about, meditate upon and commit to memory as we begin to think of a new opportunity to begin again.

Bet on yourself!

Betting on me,
