Forecast my future with the words of my mouth. When I speak the atmosphere listens and conforms to my words.

Gwen Stefani, Michelle Obama Fundraise While Setting Trends (PHOTO)
The event seemed like something Vogue would host, at least based on this photo taken by one of LA’s favorite designers, Silverlake-based Clare Vivier.
In it, Gwen looks like the rock star that she is, sporting a hot pink jumpsuit and razor-sharp stilettos. The FLOTUS rocks the DC meets LA vibe in a flattering, summer chic black dress and flat sandals. The two style powerhouses certainly knew how to dress well for the 100-degree LA heat.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/13/gwen-stefani-michelle-obama_n_1773145.html?utm_hp_ref=michelle-obama-style#slide=963205
12 Tips for Time Management
12 Tips for Time Management

Recently, in my work as a business coach, I was asked to give a presentation at a company offsite on the subject of “productivity and time management.”
In order to prepare for this, I polled a number of friends and colleagues — ordinary people whose work styles I admired — on their individual work habits. Nobody I spoke to felt like they had enough time. It’s as if we’ve all become the proverbial “plate spinners,” those talented jugglers rushing from plate to plate in order to keep each one spinning in the air.
Based on my interviews, there were a number of themes that emerged from those who managed to successfully juggle their many labors. Here, in condensed form, I offer you these 12 time management “principles” in hopes that some of them may also be useful to you.
1. Spinach first. Your mom was right. Always tackle the most difficult task on your plate first thing in the morning when your energy and concentration level is at its highest. Get to the hard stuff as early as you can. The longer you put it off in favor of easier, lower priority matters, the bigger that mound gets (and the worse it tastes). Keep the main thing the main thing.
2. Think sprint, not marathon. We are not designed to “park it” at a desk for eight hours at a stretch and get all of our work done. Short, uninterrupted bursts of concentration are the key to knocking out good work. Get a kitchen timer, or stopwatch. Set it for 45 or 60 minutes, and don’t stop until you hear the buzzer. You’d be amazed at what you can accomplish in one good uninterrupted hour.
3. Be selfish. Once you have prioritized your to-do list, you must put that ahead of all others’ lists. When you are able to get your own work done, you are in a much better position to support others with their projects. But your work comes first. Always.
Mental Toughness
Mental Toughness is the mind-set of a winner. Pressing in no matter what the daily challenges may be. Mentally preparing your mind-set,where there’s a will there is certainly a way.This will dictates your success in the situation.
Mark 5:27-28(KJV)
27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

Accountablity
Who are you accountable too? Accountability is to be obligated or a willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one’s actions.
Proverbs 4:13-14 (KJV)
13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
The Voice
Who’s voice do you follow. Be sure that the voice has some experience and proven history behind it.
John 10:5 (AMP)
5 They will never [on any account] follow a stranger, but will run away from him because they do not know the voice of strangers or recognize their call.

Un-Leashed
Be “Un-Leashed” from your past failures. Stop allowing others to remind you of what you did in the past. Release yourself from the pain of it all. Chalk it up as a learning experience, and push into your future.
