FOUR FEET OF REJECTION
by Limhi Montoya
No success is absent of rejection. *** Last night on LIMHI.LIVE, I shared the story of American author Jack London. Best known for his works “The Call of the Wild” and “White Fang,” London lived at the end of 1800s and into the early 1900s. He was one of the first authors to be internationally…
JUST TURN ON THE LIGHTS
by Limhi Montoya
Success shows up when you do. If you want to make your dreams come true, you must show up each day and just “turn on the lights.” Photographers, filmmakers, and vlogers understand that “turning on the lights” is the first step to creating something. If you’re a writer or a blogger, your also have to…
THE ELEPHANT HELD CAPTIVE BY A SHOE STRING
by Limhi Montoya
The limitations you see in yourself are mere mirages. When a baby elephant has a metal chain and shackle placed around its foot, it resists. It tugs and pulls, and tries to liberate itself from the bond that holds it captive. If the baby elephant remains shackled long enough, it eventually will stop struggling. It…
IMPOSSIBLE IS JUST AN OPINION
by Limhi Montoya
Opinions are not a true reflection of reality. Last month I received the notebook pictured above as a gift. A friend gave it to me because the quote reminded her of me. Her gift was timely because presently I’m focused on living into possibility, expecting magic, and making miracles. You have the power to shape…
THE MIST ABOVE THE WATER
by Limhi Montoya
Just above the surface of life is joy, love, and magic. Most of the time we glide over the surface of the river of life. We go about our day immersed in “the thick of thin things.” But if you just raise your awareness a little bit, you’ll see that joy, love, and magic are…
BAKE UNTIL IT’S READY
by Limhi Montoya
It’s ready when you decide. Most banana bread recipes indicate an approximate baking time. For example, this Bon Appetite recipe calls for 60-65 minutes in the oven. Notice the instructions also say: “Bake bread until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean…”. There is no set time and there is no 100% way…
IT’S A BRIGHT NEW DAY!
by Limhi Montoya
No matter what is happening in your life, you set the tone for the day. This morning as I was cooking breakfast for my four year old niece, she was skipping around the kitchen and singing: “It’s a bright new day. It’s a bright new day.” Her energy and enthusiasm were contagious. And if you…
THE HOPE OF A NEW YEAR
by Limhi Montoya
New year’s resolutions are fueled by hope. With the turning of the calendar comes a renewed sense of purpose and focus. A new year brings hope for a better tomorrow. Goals reached and goals unmet equally become a thing of the past as a new cycle stirs the inner desire for continued progress. Hope is…
WHO IS MORE POWERFUL THAN HOW
by Limhi Montoya
If you focus on who, the how will take care of itself. When clients express a desire for a certain outcome or goal, they inevitably ask: “how do I do this?” We ask how when we can see the gap between where we are and where we want to be. Our brain tries to figure…
THE NEED FOR OTHERS AND THE NEED OF OTHERS
by Limhi Montoya
If you want success, you need others. If you want to make an impact, focus on the needs of others. Champions and olympians in individual sports (such as golf, tennis, gymnastics, etc.) need others to achieve success. They need a team of people who will coach them, help them, believe in them, and reassure them…
