Desire Is Not Enough for Success

"Desire is the key to motivation, but it's the determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek."



~Mario Andretti


Although the desire to have success is very important, it is not enough. In order to succeed you have to be determined to succeed. You have to be committed to doing your very best for as long as you need to do it. Despite how much we would like it to happen, success usually doesn't happen overnight. It is the result of hard work, perserverence, commitment and determination. Your goal has to be compelling enough for you to commit yourself to doing what it will take.


This week: Take a good look at one of your goals. Is it compelling enough for you? Or is it just something on your "to do" list? Are you willing to put in the time, energy and money to make it happen? Are you determined to achieve it? Are you committed to an unrelenting pursuit of excellence to achieve it? If not, consider reworking your goals. The type of goals you set and your willingness to commit to them can make all the difference in your success.

To Succeed You Must Overcome Self Doubt

"If you doubt you can accomplish something, then you can't accomplish it. You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through."


~ Former First Lady Rosalyn Carter


What we believe guides what we are able to achieve. When you doubt yourself, you plant the belief that you cannot accomplish it. The key to success is the belief that you WILL succeed--because you will do EVERYTHING necessary to make that success happen.


This week: Think about what you would like to accomplish if you believed in yourself enough to make it happen. What are you "tough enough" to follow through on, no matter what it takes? What are you absolutely committed to? Until you know what you absolutely, positively MUST accomplish no matter what, you won't have the determination necessary overcome those doubts and make it happen.


Linda Pucci, Ph.D. is a psychologist, life coach and expert in helping people achieve goals they might not have thought even possible by using her solution focused approach. She helps people overcome limiting beliefs and negative emotions--what she calls "emotional clutter"-- to create enough space in life for success, happiness and greater meaning.

Living Your Potential Requires Courage

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.


~e.e. cummings


It takes courage to accept your calling and move into living fully and purposefully. Who you really are encompasses your personality, your spirit, your life purpose and your soul. Growing up and becoming who you really are means no longer hiding your potential. It means actualizing all that you are capable of being. It means doing all you are capable of doing. It means living fully and authentically.


This week: Consider what your life would be like if you had the courage to live your potential, to live fully. If you embraced your purpose and calling, how would your life be different? How would the lives of others be different? What would you accomplish if you knew you could not fail? Now consider what you need in order to have this sort of courage. What resources could help you? Breathe deeply and imagine yourself having all the resources you need. You do, you know.

Take Steps to Be the Person You Might Have Been--and Can Be

"It is never too late to be who you might have been."



~George Eliot


If you have been waiting to be the person you were intended to be, wait no longer. Waiting for circumstances to be "just right" to allow you to pursue your dream, find your life's purpose or realize your potential simply ensures that you postpone the meaning that your life could express.


This week: Sit down with a piece of paper. Think about what you've been postponing. Have you wanted a different career, relationship or life? What is missing? What blocks you from being all you can be? Imagine what you could be if you knew you could not fail. Think about what you need to get there. If there are obstacles, think about what resources you have that could help you achieve that life of greater meaning. Ask for help if you need it.

Adversity Shapes Us

"We all have to go through the tumbler a few times before we can emerge as a crystal."


~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross


Going through the ups and downs that life brings you may not be the most fun thing to do, but it shapes you, polishes you, and turns you into the gem that you are capable of becoming. Those hard adversities allow you to appreciate what is most important in your life. They help you understand, claim and enforce your boundaries--the guidelines you set up about how you demand to be treated. They help you learn what resources you have inside you, and what resources others can offer to help you get through those hard times. Maybe most importantly, they teach you about yourself and your strengths and capabilities. In spite of how hard it might be, you can survive. You have survived.


This week: Review the adversities you have encountered in your life so far. Examine how you handled them. What was most important for you? What did you learn about yourself? How did it shape who you are right now? What strengths did you develop as a result? Express gratitude for all you gained from those experiences. Honor yourself for getting through it.
