The virtual Goals With Soul workshop was all kinds of wonderful. About 13,000 of you signed up. What a trip. I'm... wowed.

The recording will live on my Facebook page and right here. Tune in any time to watch.

Highlights:

The best place to begin is always with gratitude.

Don't wait until you feel better to do this work. Now is the time.

You will never arrive. You will never get where you think you're going, because life will always take you in a direction you couldn't have imagined.

Become clear on why you're chasing what you're chasing.

You will feel guilty as you craft the life of your dreams. Guilt is part of being conscious. It's part of being whole. It's part of creative tension.

Clear desires = comfort in moments of pain.

Tune in and start mapping your desires.

And something pretty for you... some digital desire. Click here to download the Desire Map wallpaper.

If you're miserable when you hit your target, then it's not really a victory. Personally, if I have to dumb down, tone it down, or amp it up to be more appealing to more people, then I'm not that interested.

I want to be thrilled. I want love to sit...

Sometimes it can feel like dreaming of more than what we've got betrays our current reality. As if to wish for something different means that we're unappreciative of what we have. As if to long for a little less of this, or a brighter shade of that, denigrates what stands...

It's a crime against the human spirit that we so often disassociate positive emotions from the pursuit of success. We tell ourselves that It'll be worth it when we get there, and we grind and crank and endure our way to the goal posts. We man up, suck it up,...

"Affirmations are like screaming that you're okay in order to overcome this whisper that you're not. That's a big contrast to actually uncovering the whisper, realizing that it's a passing memory, and moving closer to all those fears and all those edgy feelings that maybe you're not okay. Well, no...

What does bad home decor have to do with reaching your full potential? Thought you'd never ask.

Imagine an ugly chair -- in your own living room. And in walks an angelic and hip interior designer who's on a mission to help you create fresh, contemporary comfort in your space....

You are in the perfect position to get there from here.

Next month, next year, or five to twenty years down the road, what or who will you be valuing?

Why will you be filled with appreciation?

Be practical or big dream-a-delic. For example: "It's one year...

Now, let's be clear, there are two types of "easy" when you're choosing to take the Creative Genius "easy way". There's Quality easy and cheap easy. We're aiming for Quality, with a capital Q.

Quality easy has fewer things on the to-do list and is a brilliant delegator. Quality easy...

Genius is the ability to receive from the universe.
--The I Ching

It's almost unsettling to go there, isn't it? When I try to answer that question for myself I squirm a bit. Lazy dilettante. As if. What would I do with all that extra time I'd have if...

If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.

Getting clear on what you're scared of can instantly diffuse ticking anxiety bombs...

If you tell a true story, you can't be wrong.

Sometimes you need to hear your Creative Genius reflected back to you. Sound bytes and rambling stories. The defining moments that others see in us that we can't see ourselves.

Most of us rarely have the opportunity...

When I say be creative, I don't mean you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem.

A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing,...

When you can create positive emotions around money, you raise your "frequency". Your inner vibration starts to hum to the same tune as your creative power. A healthy relationship to prosperity makes for more free-flowing Creative Genius.

Today's Worksheet: Freely Associating With Money

Step 1:
Answer the following questions as honestly as you can.
How do you feel:

About your debt?
About your income?
About your savings and assets?
About anyone who owes you money?
When you pay for experiences and outings?
When you go grocery shopping?
When you shop for gifts?
When you shop for clothes?
When you shop for decor, art, or collectibles?

Step 2:
Identify what pure positivity with money would feel like.
If you have negative feelings that showed up in some of the above answers, think of the positive things that counter those. For example, if how you feel about your debt is heavy, burdened, or resentful, perhaps the positive contrast would be promising, empowered, and grateful.

Step 3:
Choose just one positive money emotion -- the one that feels the most vital and exciting to you -- and think of one action you can take in each of the money areas below that will help you feel that way:

How you spend money
How you save money
How you give money
How you receive money
How you manage money

For example, if the feeling you want the most around money is gratitude, what can you do when spending your money to feel grateful? Is it keeping a gratitude journal for the things you buy, or being extra-polite to sales clerks, or saying a quiet "thanks for the ability to pay my bills," when you're writing a check to the electric company? Say your most positive feeling is security. What can you do in regard to how you manage your money to feel that way? Create monthly cash flow projections, join an investment group, write your will, start a new savings account? There are unlimited ways to create the positive feelings you want in every interaction you have with money.

You are the economist of what matters most to you.

In terms of physical existence, there are two kinds of having: the material and the experiential. Stuff to own, keep, borrow; and experiences to experience. The question is, what actually matters to you? Where does your money meet the...

Fill your day with Creative Genius-inducing environments and actions. Imagine it. The whole point of this "perfect twelve exercise" is to actually create those ideal twelve hours -- or as close to it, even if it's just fifteen minutes, as frequently as possible until that idealism is the fabric of...

Note: Heiresses and tycoons may be excused from this exercise. And possibly students. And anyone with lots and lots of money socked away. Oh, and forest dwellers living off the grid.

I attended a teleseminar of Patti Digh's (author of Life Is A Verb) in which she posed this question: If you knew that your art would support your life, how would you live?

That question climbed into me and set up camp. I meditated on it for two...

The gratitude you receive from others is a reflection of your genius.

Create a habit of noticing where and when appreciation comes to you in your life and work. Is it always in a particular realm? For example, care taking, solution finding, listening, creative thinking, beauty making? Gratitude is a...
