Recycled Dreams

Posted on 17. May, 2010 by Krista Abbott.

Have you ever had a dream escape you?
You know, one of those deep desires of your heart that you sought after, and believed for and worked hard for…maybe even you prayed fervently for it – but one disappointment led to another…and another…and another…until one day – you surrendered that dream. You didn’t necessarily give up on it or quit…you just accepted that maybe it wasn’t meant to be, and although disappointed, and heartbroken you moved on with your life and started creating and realizing new dreams for yourself.

I have.

I have lived through the heartache and disappointment of broken dreams, released dreams, and forgotten dreams. I’ve also lived in the excitement and satisfaction that comes with embracing new dreams – realizing them and living them. This seems to make the loss of the broken (or escaped) dreams more bearable. Recently, I’ve been confronted again with one of my lost dreams – a dream that, well frankly, when lost caused me a great deal of heart break and many tears. I had completely released it and moved on, quite successfully, with my life. It was, honestly, at the time, one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make – to release that dream and walk away from it. Events over the past few months have led to new developments that I never expected to occur, and I now find myself face to face with that dream again… Do I embrace this dream once again with the hope of a different outcome this time, or do I play it safe and continue on with my successful life and new dreams?
What did I decide? Well, in a moment of complete transparency and authenticity…

4 Critical Things to Look for in a Mentor

Posted on 06. Apr, 2010 by Krista Abbott.

Mentors create success.

It’s that simple. Having a strong mentor in your life can make a huge impact in the levels of success you are able to reach in your business, your personal life, and your spiritual journey. In fact, it may be the single most important thing you can do to advance your life in the direction you want it to go.

YOU are the designer of your life. You have, innately within you, the wherewithal to determine where your life goes and how you get there. I heard it said once, that success does not happen by chance, success happens on purpose.

In my reflections I’ve thought about the dreams I have already achieved and those I am living now; I also thought about those I still have and that I am still working toward. As I thought, I remembered my mentors, how they influenced me and helped me realize success as I know it today and who push me to continue reaching for the “Big Dreams”. I wanted to share some thoughts with you on what mentoring is and what good mentors do…

Posted on 26. Jan, 2010 by Krista Abbott.

Defining moments. We’ve all had them and can recall specific times in our lives when something of great significance happened that catapulted us to the next level of success or pushed us to go the extra mile even when we didn’t feel like it. Often times they exist in our memory as vivid and specific as the moment they occurred. This is how strongly they have impacted us.
In today’s video, I talk about how to recognize your moments and evaluate them to determine if they are right for you when they arrive, and then how to handle them appropriately. What you choose to pursue and devout your time to today will determine how quickly you reach your goal. Take a few minutes and watch it, then leave me your thoughts below.

“Just Say NO!” to New Year Resolutions!!!

Posted on 02. Jan, 2010 by Krista Abbott.

Well, Happy New Year to you!

It’s that time again, when we all begin our journey into a new year, with new plans, new “resolutions”, and revised hopes and dreams. Over the past several days, I have heard more people than I can count say “This is the year. for …(fill in the blank)”.

They beam as they tell me what they are going to accomplish this year through their “resolutions”. I’m excited for them, but can’t help wondering – did they have the same resolutions last year? Or, the year before? And then of course, with some of them, I KNOW they had the same resolutions last year.
