This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. Many people adopt their own set of rules to live by. There are also rules to being a great leader. In an article published in “Entrepreneur Magazine”, there is a list of seven golden rules of leadership. When you are a leader, you must promote growth within your company, community or home.
- Do what’s right for your people. Leaders who are great have the best interest of their team at heart.
- Allow your team to own the credit for their success. Good leaders go out of their way to recognize their team’s efforts.
- Teach them what you’ve learned. Pass down the knowledge you have gained with your leadership experience.
- Inspire them and remain positive. Great leaders make people feel good about what they do.
- Remember where you started. You didn’t start out as a leader, and you’ve had to work your way toward your success, so remember that those you lead are just getting started too!
Being a leader holds tremendous responsibility. When you lead, follow these sound rules and you’ll always be successful!

Empowering others will have such a huge impact on their ability to grow. I love it when my clients feel empowered to make decisions that will change the course of their lives and grow!
Inc. magazine had a great article on tips for empowering employees, but I think it translates to more than just ‘employees’ and can also be used for teams and families.
- Foster open communication. You many have clear direction and more experience, but when you foster individuals to know that you are open to their thoughts and feelings, they will be more empowered.
- Reward self-improvement. I especially love to celebrate with my clients, friends and family when they have taken steps to grow!
- Require accountability. When I am leading a group, or coaching – I insist that my clients or groups be accountable for the ‘assignments’ they have. Checking in, understanding obstacles and leading them in overcoming them helps us all remain accountable.
These are just some of the ways that you can provide excellent leadership by empowering those you are leading!

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. When I was raising my family and operating a radio station, I quickly had to learn to lead with decisiveness. I had to make decisions that weren’t always popular, and I realized that if I vacillated or changed my mind too often, I would appear weak. That is no way to run a household or a business. You’ve got to make brave and confident decisions and then stick with them. You must be fair, clear and consistent!
Author Michael Ray Hopkin’s blog, “Lead on Purpose”, encourages you to ask yourself questions when making your decisions: “What are we giving up if we make this decision?”
No decision is ever going to be perfect, but when you lead decisively and discuss alternatives with those involved and trust the process.
When I had to make a decision in my family, I considered all those involved, my kids. How was my decision going to impact their lives? I discussed it with them and with others who may have had to make a similar decision so that I was well informed and prepared for the outcome.
Leading with decisiveness may not always be the popular direction to go, but leadership takes courage to make those tough decisions.

I have worked with so many people who are closed minded in many of their beliefs, which are most often a product of what they experienced in the past. When we talk about leading with an open-mind, it isn’t meant to encourage you to throw your beliefs out the window or cast them aside. Leading with an open mind will help you look at all sides of an argument, a way to go about finding solutions and get out of the way of conflict, whether in business, teambuilding or in your own relationships.
According to an article from “SmartBlog on Leadership, Jane Perdue shares several ways to lead with an open mind:
- Stop the power trip, Stay attuned and seek out feedback from others.
- Nurture tolerance. Don’t be so quick to believe that other opinions are wrong or foolish.
- Think big and synthesize new and bold ideas from others. Don’t strangle them because it goes against your conventional wisdom.
For you to be an effective leader in any area of your life, you’ll find much more success when you lead with an open mind.

Do you think of yourself as a passionate person? When it comes to leadership qualities, do you find passion in leadership to be high on your list of qualities? To be passionate about anything, on must sense a feeling of excitement and enthusiasm for it. But in order to show passion, does on need to yell and scream, much like you see some coaches do with their sports teams. To lead with passion doesn’t mean yelling loudly, it means you are deeply enthusiastic about who and what you are leading.
“When a leader is passionate, people feel a deep sense of being led in a worthy direction by someone who is committed to something more important than his or her own individual glory”, says Forbes magazine contributor, Erika Andersen. She writes there are five indicators that a leader has true passion:
- Passionate leaders genuinely believe in what they espouse.
- They convey the power of their belief without dismissing or belittling others’ points of view.
- Their passion is balanced with openness.
- They walk their talk; their day-to-day behaviors support their beliefs.
- When difficulties arise, they hold their principles and find a way forward.
Strive to lead with passion and you will continue to grow and be successful!

When I was studying organizational leadership I learned many different ‘theories’ on leadership. I was intrigued by how many theories there can be! There is the “Great Man Theory”, “Trait Theory”, “Behavioral Theory”, “Contingency Theory”, “Transactional”, “Transformational”, then there is “Top Down”, or “Bottom Up”, or “Walking Around”. But one of the most important theories of all for great leadership is to lead by commitment! That is something that will never change or go out of style.
There is nothing more worthy of following a leader when they are committed to the path. Great leaders stay committed to their mission, their team, their cause and remain grounded in their purpose.
Rules and regulations may change, but a leader is always committed to the relationship they have with those who follow them.
Remain committed wherever and whomever you may lead!

When you think of a great leader, do you view them as someone who is authentic? When you lead, are you leading with authenticity? What is authentic leadership?
According to a 2013 article in Forbes magazine, authentic leaders are genuine and self-aware. They are aware of their strengths and limitations. They are also mission driven and focused on results, not their ego, money or power. An authentic leader will nurture individuals and the company with hard work and patience, focusing on the long-term. And an authentic leader will lead with their heart, and isn’t afraid to connect with their employees with vulnerability, empathy and directness.
There are many ways to lead, and oftentimes we only consider “leadership” in the business world, but you are a leader in your home and community as well.
Be an authentic leader; with a heart.

"I just want to be happy!" Does this sound like you? Happiness and finding contentment in life; job; and our relationships seems to be our primary goal. But happiness and contentment are fleeting, they change with our seasons. What made you happy in one season of life (ex: An ice cream cone for a 6 year old) isn't going to have that same level of happiness in a different season of life (the fancy home or car at 40). This year an addition to the family might bring you happiness, while a few years ago you found contentment in your new position at work. The purpose of life is perpetual growth. Find contentment in your efforts to grow and watch the fruits of your labors be your happiness.
“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the economy, or the President. You realize that you control your own destiny.” ~Albert Ellis
Seek nourishment for your mind; knowledge. Your mind is hungry and seeks growth; new insights and intellect; new ideas and developments. Seek potential for growth in your conscious life.

From the womb, our purpose is growth. We’re always running around asking, “What is the purpose of life?” “What is the purpose of this, or that?” When an egg is fertilized and starts to grow in its mother’s womb, any species or animal, it has one purpose, and one purpose only. To grow. Just imagine if an embryo started to question its existence from the womb, “what is my purpose”? It doesn’t. It just does naturally what it is designed to do. Grow. Just like a seed that is planted in the ground. When properly nurtured, nourished and cared for – it grows.
Your purpose, is growth. It is constant and perpetual.
“A small plant is not expected nor is it able to bear fruit. It cannot bear the weight but would fall over and die. There is a specific time in nature when fruit is ready.” (Mat 21:34) “If received prematurely, it would destroy what has not weathered the test of time and been strengthened by the growth process.” (1 Tim 3:6)
There are no shortcuts in God. Maturity comes with growth and growth takes time.

How do plants survive in contaminated soil? They don't. They get sick and die if the soil is contaminated or malnourished...
What about you? Is your soil malnourished, or contaminated? Let’s just say that your soul is equivalent to soil; are you psychologically contaminated? Are you hurting, depressed, angry, filled with anxiety? Are you psychically broken? Is your life a mess? If you are nodding your head yes, then I’d encourage you to seek help immediately. Why waste another moment in that contaminated soil! Would you take better care of a tree or a plant if it was rotting away in soil that was damaged? Aren’t you worth more than a plant?
How did the soil of your life become contaminated in the first place? These are hard questions to answer, so I’d say to you to seek a professional mental health expert. Coaching is one thing, but therapy is essential when our soul is damaged.
“”To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are.”
If you struggle with any of these things, your "soil" or soul might be malnourished.... get some nourishment starting today. Don’t waste another second!

I was asked one day, “What qualifies you to be a personal and professional growth coach?” I was actually grateful for the question, because even though it might have been perceived as a challenge, it really wasn’t. She actually might have been thinking about how she might want to hire me, or invite me to speak at her organization or one of her upcoming events. She was vetting me. Inquiring about my credentials. She really wanted to know what qualifies me over somebody else. I had to answer her question that my degree in psychology and earning a license to be a marriage and family therapist provides me with the education and experience to really make those psycho-educational concepts work in the area of personal growth, and my 30+ years in business afford me with the background to be an effective coach for professional growth. I’ve prepared myself for these types of inquiries and its with great privilege to help other achieve their growth goals. The lesson is, use your experiences to your advantage. Don’t let a simple question of “what qualifies you’ deter you from answering confidently! You are ready. You are qualified….and if not, learn, listen, study and practice to be at that level you desire to be.

I have friends and colleagues who are at the top of their game in major market business, who occasionally come to me for coaching, knowing that I’m also a therapist. They’ll share with me their concerns in their work environment – and it’s interesting to note that it’s not always about something functional in the business. Consultants always talk about how to make your business grow, how to make it thrive, how to successfully make a ton of money. Great! I too can give you checklists, to do lists, navigate how to get into a networking group, or how to make a sales call and things like that; just about anyone these days can do that. But the reality is, when you start experiencing issues that are stressors and conflicts with others; it all comes down to how we think; how we feel; which affects how we behave; which is all on personal. So when I say that I promote perpetual personal and professional growth – they go hand in hand. When you are having problems at work, it’s helpful to step back and see what you are projecting on to the person you are having an issue with. And what are they projecting onto you, and how is this affected by something going on with you emotionally? Seek help and understanding for those issues that can’t be resolved with another check list or scripted sales call.

I’m a visionary and an entrepreneur. I don’t let it stop me if somebody else has “already done that”. For example: I’m creating a series on the Seasons of Life. I teach about personal and professional growth, through cultivating; planting seeds; branching out and all of these metaphors that I just love! The thing is that, of course other people have talked about this concept of growth. Perhaps maybe my take on it will be similar to somebody else’s – but the fact of the matter is, the branding “growth” goes well with my last name, Orchard. I can use the metaphors and ideas and the concepts all day long. Does it mean that I invented “growth” and if somebody tried to use the word growth in some of their presentations or marketing plan that I should have some sort of claim to that or compare myself to them? No. Does it mean that I should stop doing what I’m doing because somebody else used the word growth or planting seeds, or used a tree in their logo? No. Just do it better or be a little different, or be a little creative or capitalize on the fact that if someone else can find success doing what they love, you can too! If you’re passionate about it, who cares if somebody else did it. Don’t compare yourself to others. Be authentically you and continue to grow, because growth is your purpose.

I used to use the term “Change Agent” when I described myself and what I do. I thought about using the term “Growth Agent”, but there is too much controversy around the term growth agent when talking about chemicals, biological research, and nutrition, so I won’t use that, but I am an Agent of Growth.
So let me ask you this question, do you really feel as though you need to change? Or is it that you really need to grow? There is a big difference between change and growth. A plant might change its colors with the seasons, but what it is ultimately doing is growing. Growing into something new, refined, evolved.
So what are you doing? Are you growing? Are you evolving? Or do you really need to change? Think about that. Is it change that you need, or growth? And are they the same? There can be a minor difference in that whole philosophy.
“There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them. But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there. ~Paulo Coelho

In order to grow, everything needs a solid foundation. Everything in life needs a solid foundation; when you’re putting together a building or a home, you need a solid foundation which is a concrete slab, the solid foundation for the structure. When you’re putting on your clothes for your day, you need a solid foundation which might be your shoes, or the dress or suit that you are going to wear with which you accessorize by adding jewelry. When you go for a college education, you will have a solid foundation in a field of study for a specific degree.
When you are planting a garden, you need a solid foundation. The solid foundation in a garden, or an orchard or anything that grows from the ground is, the soil.
So in your personal or professional growth, you need a solid foundation. So, your solid foundation is your soul. What’s in your soul? What do you believe in; stand for; are accountable to? How do you talk and think about yourself? How do you identify your solid foundation? Nibble on that today…

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. Now is the time to define your life roles. You may have leadership roles in relation to your profession, family, community, or other areas in your life. Are people born or destined to become great leaders? Or is a leader developed over a lifetime of experiences? When you motivate your team, whether it is at work, your sport, your family or your community, you exhibit great leadership ability.
So, what makes a great leader? When I was thirteen years old, I joined a cheerleading squad and remember feeling like the ‘odd man out’. The coach for the team had her favorites and paid little attention to those of us she didn’t consider worthy of her attention. It caused me to feel unimportant and insignificant. The following season, I signed up to be a coach because I didn’t want anyone on a cheer squad to feel unmotivated or insignificant. So, at age 14, I began develop leadership skills to motivate, encourage and inspire my team.
Was I born to lead or did I develop leadership abilities? In my case, I believe it was both. I was determined to lead a team of cheerleaders to be the best squad they could be. I have continued to lead by coaching; in business, in relationships, in consulting and in my community!
What does being a great leader look like? They have the ability to inspire!

When I became ill with heart problems, I didn’t even know where to begin. But, one thing I knew for sure, despite the depression that came along with the disease, I wasn’t going to give up or become a victim. I researched my heart condition and learned as much as I could about it. I took to my Bible and other educational resources on ‘spirit’ as I could to gain insight. I asked questions, sought answers and support from others who had been through something similar. And then, I went back to Grad School to earn my Masters Degree in Psychology. None of what I do now happened overnight. It was and still is and ongoing process. But I know one thing for sure, I am a miracle and so are you.
Jim Rohn spoke about learning like this: “Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.”

What is your learning style? There are many assessments that can help determine what our best learning style is. We learn best when we stimulate several senses at once. According to many theorists, there are four learning styles: Visual learning, Auditory learning, Read/write learning, and Kinesthetic learning. These are learning styles that use our senses: seeing, hearing, and touching. It is a good idea to understand our best learning style. Imagine if you were forced to read and write in a classroom setting, or work setting – but your most effective style of learning was hands on practice or listening to a lecture. Perhaps you learn best when you listen to an audio lecture while reading along.
Pay attention to how you learn and implement that in your process regularly. When I invite a client to learn something new every day in order to grow, I always investigate the method with which they learn best. Then, I emphasize that in order to enjoy the learning experience, they need to employ that method. I would never ask you to just “read a book”, if you learned better from interaction. Now, if you love to read, I would definitely encourage you to read something other than a romance novel!
Learning can be fun when we do it in a way that comes natural to us!

Knowledge is power. When I set out to earn my college education, I had already experienced a great deal of loss and failures in my life. I started college in my mid-30s as a single mother. I went to grad school in my 40s after my heart issues. Although there were sacrifices that needed to be made for me to go to college later in life, it was one thing I knew for certain – my education was one thing that nobody could ever take away from me.
I could lose jobs, lose material things and even relationships – but I would always have the knowledge I gained from learning.
How about you? Going to college was my path. Gaining knowledge doesn’t always mean you have to invest in a college degree – you might gain knowledge through experience, or reading, talking to others, or learning new skills through seminars and workshops.
B.B. King said, “The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.” Be powerful. Seek knowledge.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. How do you experience growth through learning? We often hear about ‘visualizing our success’ or are asked the question, ‘how to you see yourself five years from now?
If you have ever heard the term, “in my mind’s eye…”, that is the concept of a human being about to visualize and experience mental imagery, by seeing it without our “mind’s eye”.
That is one of the greatest tools for learning. The idea of visualizing ourselves once we reach a specific goal or plan for ourselves. Want to have a more successful career? Visualize yourself in it. Want a better relationship? Visualize what that relationship looks like. Do you want to live somewhere different, travel, have a huge savings account? See it in your “mind’s eye”.
But it doesn’t stop there. Visualizing will get you no where but frustrated if you don’t act. Anyone can learn to ‘visualize’, but it’s those who commit to taking the steps toward making that vision a reality who will succeed. How do you begin?
There is a French Proverb that says, “Learning is the eye of the mind.”

I often speak about ‘planting seeds for personal growth’, and it usually stirs up a dialogue about the kind of seeds we plant in our minds that either develop more growth or sabotage us with negativity. The benefit of continuous growth is that it builds the chances of new opportunities to come your way!
Imagine what life was like when they thought the world was flat, or new nothing about space and stars and astronomy, science. The continuous curiosity and eagerness to learn has developed such immense knowledge that we have all benefitted from.
What kind of seeds to you plant to gain knowledge so that you will grow through learning new things?
Educator and author Linda Conway wrote, “It’s not what is poured into a student that counts but what is planted.”
Get out and plant some seeds of learning today!

Want to know the best anti-aging technique? No, it isn’t a new facial cream or skin care product, nor is it a new diet program or exercise routine. The key to staying young in mind and body is learning! That’s right! Learning!
Henry Ford once said, “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.”
I have found this to be true in just about every client I present this concept to. When they begin to learn new ways to think, feel and behave, they suddenly have a whole new outlook on life. Learning something new creates a passionate response in our hearts and minds. Whether you learn new skills at your business or job, learn to paint or other crafts, learn about wine and food pairings, or learn something new about a friend or colleague, or a subject that is interesting to you, you will become ageless!
The least expensive anti-aging technique is personal growth through learning! Try it out, FREE!

I discovered through a book written by Marcus Buckingham, “Now, Discover Your Strengths”, that my top strength is “Learner”. I’m a “Learner”. When I teach or coach, I share information that I have learned previously. So, before I teach or coach, I set my intentions to learn what it is that I will be teaching. I’m not an expert in every area, but when I am asked to speak to a group or organization, or teach a concept – I learn as much as I can about the latest trends, methods or information that is current. I learn.
And when I teach or coach, I often learn from those that I am teaching or coaching because someone, or many always have different perspectives and experiences in that area that are new to me. I learn from others.
English singer and songwriter Phil Collins said, “In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn.”
Become a learner. Learn from others, so that you can then teach what you have learned.

What we learn becomes part of who we are. Who do you want to be? I often encourage my clients to look themselves in the mirror and ask themselves ‘who do I want to be?’ “What kind of person am I becoming?”
And you know, it doesn’t matter how old you are either! Those who seek personal growth are always learning new things about themselves and the world around them, no matter what their chronological age.
Once you can answer that question, “What kind of person am I becoming?”, it takes effort to know how to grow into that. It’s equally important to acknowledge that without a concerted effort toward the positive, you may become the exact opposite of who you want to be. Is the person I am becoming a negative, stressed out, non-productive, unhappy version of who I strive to be?
That is where the willingness to learn begins. Who are you? What kind of person are you becoming? Who do you want to be? Once you answer those questions, you’ll learn a lot about yourself. Which direction will it be?

Ignorance is bliss. I’ve heard this many times over my lifetime. Some use it as a means to cope. The “What they don’t know, won’t hurt them”, mentality. That is very true – ignorance can very often be blissful. But, then you are giving away something very important: your power.
The very definition of ignorance isn’t ‘stupid’ or ‘naïve’ – it is “lack of knowledge or information”. I have often used the phrase, “pardon my ignorance, but…” and it leads into a question or statement that will help me gain more information or knowledge about the subject I had no prior knowledge to. There is such a great opportunity to build self- confidence and esteem when we seek knowledge!
Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon to change the world”.
Want to change your world? Ask questions and learn. Be curious. Ask for forgiveness for your ignorance and seek to gain knowledge and information.

We learn something every day if we pay attention. It is called mindfulness. There is a lot of talk about the term ‘mindfulness’, and it’s one that I personally love. When you are mindful of your thoughts, you understand how you feel about your surroundings, which always impacts how you behave. This is the basis for a psychotherapy methodology called “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy” and one that I find most coaching and sales training employ. When I was investigating the differences between ‘coaching’ and psychotherapy, I found that ‘how we think’ was the primer to all coaching practices.
The focus is on our learned patterns of thought. Do you want more happiness? Change your thinking about happiness. Do you want more abundance? Start thinking about abundance and not lack. It sounds very simple, and it truth, it is. Once you have learned how to do it. But that is also part of the process: the un-learning of bad or negative thinking.
The very first step toward learning about mindfulness is: pay attention!

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. How do you plan to grow? Unhelpful thinking is the only thing that truly holds us back! When we throw ourselves into projects we are passionate about, we don’t stop to think about how it might fail. Or maybe we do. That is what holds you back. I often hear people tell me that they can’t do this or that because ‘what if I make a mistake”?
My question to you is, “What if you don’t?” If you do nothing, nothing will happen. I guess there is safety in that, but then you’ll also be stuck and nothing will ever change.
Author C. Joybell C. writes this about personal growth: “The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself.”

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. I love it when I see growth in my clients, family and friends. When you commit yourself to learn something new, it ignites a fire that helps you continue your personal and professional growth journey. We must be intentional about how and what we learn. You don’t want to ‘learn the hard’ way, which is what we do when we don’t allow ourselves to get all the facts in order to make an informed decision on a career path, a new job, a new relationship or place to live, car to purchase or any other major life decision. You want to learn the ‘intentional’ way. Take a bit more time to educate and inform yourself about the next step; whatever that step it.
I often use the phrase, “learning by osmosis” when I speak about learning something organically, unconsciously and allowing information to absorbed. Listen with intention. Learn with intention. And do these things with the intention that it is for your personal growth.
Socrates said this about education: “Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.”

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. How important is your personal growth to you? I make it a point to pursue personal and professional growth by committing myself to learn something new every day. Whether it’s a new quote, or a word, or a verse, I’m intentionally looking for something new to put into action.
Actually, I am always filling my mind with new knowledge as I learn from my clients every day! It’s just a part of my work that I enjoy tremendously. Learning what others do for a living and how they got to that point in their career. I learn about their daily lives, their history and dreams for the future.
Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson wrote this about learning: “For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you.” When you aim for the stars, you’re bound to learn something new along the way! Remain committed to learn something new daily.

I used to read to my children all the time. We had the entire Dr. Seuss collection and they would pick one out and eagerly listen as I opened the book. Children are hungry for knowledge. As we get older, we often forget that hunger in exchange for the minutia of our daily lives. We wake up, go to work, do our job, drive to the market or the gym, cook dinner, watch television, go to bed, and then start over the next morning.
We fail ourselves when we don’t learn something new. Here’s a challenge for you. Grab yourself a book! Whether it’s a novel, a self-help book or a “how to” book. Make it an intentional goal to learn something new each and every day.
A little wisdom from a children’s book helps us remember to continuously learn.“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” ― Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. How many times have you failed? I have failed so many times that I have lost count! Failure is good. It just means you have learned how something didn’t work. Whether it is a business, a relationship, an invention, or waterskiing – it takes effort to learn how to get it right! But the important part of failure is what we learn from it.
Most everyone wants to be successful. We want our business to succeed, we want successful relationships and when we invent something we want it to work! But if we were successful at everything we tried, we would never learn anything new!
Horror Author Bram Stoker said, “We learn from failure, not from success!” Don’t let yourself get discouraged by your failures! Be encouraged and learn from them. If you have failed at a business or a relationship recently, pick yourself up and learn why it went wrong.
You will have confidence that you are just one failure closer to success!

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. When we begin to contemplate our personal growth, it begins with yourself. Today, we’re focusing on Self Concept.
Do you know what your self- concept is? Psychologist Carl Rogers believes that there are three unique components of “self-concept”. These are, the view you have of yourself (self-image), how much value you place on yourself (self-worth) and what you wish you were really like (ideal self). Your self concept isn’t about whether you are male or female, employed or unemployed; it doesn’t depend on race, religion or a category – it is uniquely how you view yourself and it encompasses what you see and think of who you are, and who you aspire to be.
It’s the component in the middle that allows you to have those dreams and set those goals – and that is your self-worth.
In general, a “concept” is an abstract idea or a general notion.
That being said, your “self-concept” is an abstract of who you are, and a notion of who you’d like to be – with self- worth as the driving vehicle to get you to what you want.
Socrates said, “The nearest way to glory – a shortcut, as it were – is to strive to be what you wish to be; thought to be.

This is Kelly Orchard's Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. If you long to be an independent agent, taking care of yourself, then you need to grow and be self-directed.
Self- Directed means directed or guided by oneself, especially as an independent agent. No longer can you blame others for the path your life, career or relationships take. When you are self-directed, you manage your life in a way that allows you to set goals, achieve your dreams, create a home environment that is pleasing and be in a career that is rewarding.
Self-Directed means: guided, regulated, managed.
Galileo said,"You cannot teach a person anything; you can only help him find it within himself." When you are focused on your own personal growth, you must depend upon your inner compass that guides you, and be aware of those underlying issues that become concerns. Guide yourself in the truth, and if you need help with your compass, learn how to use it by reading, asking for help and opening yourself up to taking a new direction if necessary to get where you want to be. Growth begins with yourself, and today - you need to be self-directed.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. When we begin to contemplate our personal growth, it begins with yourself. Today, we’re focusing on Self Improvement.
How does one begin to focus on self-improvement? That is the ultimate in personal and professional growth – to perpetually seek improvement! One can search the internet for books, audios, videos and groups that promote self-improvement. Society doesn’t lack plenty of resources. Today – I want to encourage you to find some that matter to YOU!
Here are some tips on perpetual self-improvement: - Focus on improving just 1% per day. Imagine improving one percent every day for a year. You’d be 365% better, (and more) than you are right now. - Seek a mentor, counselor, coach or teacher – preferably one that you believe will help you get where you want to go. - Be willing to learn and ask questions. - Know that self-improvement begins in your heart
As Leo Tolstoy said, “Everybody thinks of changing humanity and nobody thinks of changing himself.”

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth, and your growth begins with yourself.
According to Dr. Kristin Neff, “Self-compassion involves acting the same way towards yourself when you are having a difficult time, fail, or notice something you don’t like about yourself. Instead of just ignoring your pain with a “stiff upper lip” mentality, you stop to tell yourself “this is really difficult right now,” how can I comfort and care for myself in this moment?”
Instead of heartlessly judging and condemning yourself for various inadequacies or shortcomings, self-compassion means you are kind to yourself and understanding when threatened with personal failings – after all, who ever said you were supposed to be perfect?
There are three elements of self –compassion. They are:
- Self-kindness
- Common humanity
- Mindfulness
Grow with self-compassion today.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. When we begin to contemplate our personal growth, it begins with yourself. Today, we’re focusing on Self Image.
What do you see when you look in the mirror, or show up to your job, school or social settings. What is your self-image?
Look at a recent picture of yourself and dig deeper into what you think and feel about that person in the photo. I remember looking at a business profile with a friend of mine and as she pointed to her headshot – she said, “I don’t like her very much.” That really surprised me, as she is a beautiful, vibrant, successful woman. She went on to explain that at that time in her life, she felt like a fraud, a liar and deceiver of many. She wasn’t happy in the work she was doing, felt unfulfilled and unappreciated. Her self-image was in stark contrast to the woman in the photograph with a successful professional biography.
What is your self-image? Do you like the person that you view in your business profile, mirror or photograph? Do you feel like you are living a lie? There is always room for improvement, so why not begin today!

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. Socrates said, “Know Thyself”. Personal and professional growth begins with yourself, and knowledge of who and what you are all about is critical. I have spent nearly my entire life trying to understand myself. I started writing a journal as a teenager and often go back and read passages from my youth. It allows me to truly know myself, as the words, thoughts and events I write are usually raw emotions and ideas of those current events. At the time, I am realizing that I really do not know what the future holds.
“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.”
Today, we’re focusing on self-knowledge, and for me, that includes wisdom. “Wisdom begins with wonder,” another quote from Socrates, and again, “The unexamined life is not worth living.”
Examine your life, your thoughts, ideas and actions. Know thyself and you’ll begin to understand how wise you are becoming. For me, knowing myself is one of my biggest assets, as it has helped me stay focused on a path toward success.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. When we begin to contemplate our personal growth, it begins with yourself. Today, we’re focusing on Self Consciousness.
Awareness; a preoccupation with oneself; the awareness that one exists as an individual being. We often believe that being “self-conscious” means we are insecure. Usually – it is the awareness that we are feeling insecure that makes us conscious of our thoughts and feelings. Awareness is key to personal growth. Once you are aware of something – that is the beginning of making positive changes.
Be acutely aware of your self – self-conscious doesn’t have to mean “always insecure of one’s appearance”. You’ll feel less insecure when you learn to laugh at yourself. Just because you are keenly aware of yourself, doesn’t mean that people are watching, judging and evaluating you – which can cause anxiety. There is no invisible audience watching your every move!
Practicing self-consciousness is good when you appreciate that awareness with a genuine idea that you are focusing on personal growth by looking within to understand your thoughts, feelings and motivations.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. We’re focusing on how growth begins with yourself.
Self-control is the quality that allows you to stop yourself from doing things you want to do but that might not be in your best interest. For example, without self-control, you might burp and curse nonstop.
“Have you ever had a potato chip or two and pretty soon you’ve eaten the whole bag? Eating a whole bag of chips shows little self-control. Not charging an expensive thing you want to a credit card takes self-control. Getting up early for work takes self-control. Without self-control, it's hard to get far in life. Self-control is similar to self-discipline.”
http://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/self-control
According to Psychology Today, “Self-control separates us from our ancient ancestors and the rest of the animal kingdom. Rather than responding to immediate impulses, we can plan, we can evaluate alternative actions, and we can refrain from doing things we'll regret. We can also take advantage of these innately human abilities by developing wisdom and willpower.”
Self- Control is an important component of your personal and professional growth. It’s time for you to begin putting it into practice.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. When we begin to contemplate our personal growth, it begins with yourself. Today, we’re focusing on Self Awareness.
According to the Pathway to Happiness, “self awareness is having a clear perception of your personality, including strengths, weaknesses, thoughts, beliefs, motivation, and emotions. Self Awareness allows you to understand other people, how they perceive you, your attitude and your responses to them in the moment.”
How can you become more self-aware? It is only one step in the personal growth process and there will always be blind spots. - One of my favorite tools to help me remain aware of my self is to keep a journal. I have been able to read back on trying times in my life and see how much I’ve grown. Keeping a journal is a healthy exercise! - Write your own mission statement! You cannot write a mission statement without assessing who you are and becoming very self-aware. - Learn to look at yourself objectively and perform a self-review.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. Self Esteem is one of the most difficult parts of yourself to measure. Some have high esteem, but most have low esteem.
What is Self-Esteem?
Psychology Today says:
“Possessing little self-regard can lead people to become depressed, to fall short of their potential, or to tolerate abusive situations and relationships. Too much self-love, on the other hand, results in an off-putting sense of entitlement and an inability to learn from failures.
Furthermore, “Most of us wish we could improve certain things about ourselves. Lasting change is difficult though—many of our habits are deeply ingrained, and certain core personality attributes may be immutable. But even the oldest of habits and character traits can be altered to various degrees, as it's never too late to change; with effort and determination, it is possible to be the person you want to be.”
Today, we’re growing our self-esteem.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. When we begin to contemplate our personal growth, it begins with yourself. Today, we’re focusing on Self Worth.
My mom used to sing a silly little song that has stuck with my all my life.
“I love myself, I think I’m grand. I go to the movies just to hold my hand.”
Self-worth is your personal sense of value. Do you value yourself as a person, a friend, a parent or employee, boss or business owner?
Self- worth is not the same as self-esteem; Esteem is based on external actions whereas worth is valuing who you are, not what you do.
How can you build your self-worth? - Challenge your inner critic and tell it to shush! - Treat yourself well, just like you’d treat a friend - Look at yourself in the mirror and practice daily affirmations - Stop comparing yourself to others
Your value, your self-worth is how you view yourself, and it has nothing to do with financial, physical or relationship success. Start focusing on your self-worth and watch yourself grow!

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. When we begin to contemplate our personal growth, it begins with yourself. Today, we’re focusing on self- love.
What is Self Love? According to an article in Psychology Today, “self-love is an action not a state of feeling good.” When you are feeling low, feeling defeated or like a failure, people often say, “Why don’t you love yourself?” or tell you that you cannot love anyone else until you love yourself.
But how do you love yourself?
Here are 8 tips:
- Become mindful. Know what it is that you think, feel and want.
- Act on what you need rather than what you want.
- Love yourself by taking good care of yourself; eat healthy, sleep, exercise and create more social interactions.
- Set quality boundaries. Set limits at work and in your personal relationships.
- Protect yourself. Don’t allow the enemy to get the best of you!
- Forgive yourself.
- Live with intention. Make plans to live your life with purpose.
- Stop comparing yourself to others. You are unique and awesome just as you are!
Self love is not a crime.

One of my favorite musicals is the 1948 American film, “Easter Parade” starring Judy Garland and Fred Astaire. There’s a scene where Judy’s character is auditioning to be a star dancer with Fred Astaire and he challenges her to make men smile at her. Knowing that she wasn’t the type of beauty that would make men take a second look, as she walked along the sidewalk away from Astair’s character, she made a silly face, with crossed eyes and puckered lips to get some attention. It didn’t take long before the men walking by were smiling and looking back at her as they passed.
No matter how you make a habit to make someone smile, try it. Mother Teresa says that, “Peace begins with a smile.”
Here’s a cute poem by Karen McLendon-Laumann, “Smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu, When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too.” Make a habit to make someone smile. It’s catching!

I love helping others. It feels good when I’ve helped somebody solve a problem, address a concern or something even simpler as a chore that needed to get done. There is a sense of community and connection we feel when we offer to help others. Make a habit to offer help, whether it’s running an errand, offering a service, or just proof reading a document. Brian Tracy teaches that, “Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, 'What's in it for me?' Helping others has many health benefits too! It actually lowers your blood pressure, creates a sense of wellbeing and happiness in you, raises your self-esteem and helps you grow.
Make a habit of helping others by volunteering or doing what somebody needs. The benefits will amaze you!

“Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful, lest you let other people spend it for you.” Carl Sandburg
Remember what we learn during the safety demonstration when we are ready to take flight? “Put your oxygen mask on yourself first, then help others.”. The reason for this is because you are not going to survive if you aren’t taking care of yourself. Rely on yourself, and you will grow. If you rely on somebody else to take care of you, your feelings, your needs, your wants, your goals… well, you’ll always be disappointed. Rely on yourself first, and you will achieve your desired growth. This also applies when we want to blame somebody else for our downfall, our mistakes, our failures. Make it a habit to rely on yourself to pick yourself up and continue on your own personal and professional growth journey.

Mindfulness is all the buzz lately, a term that we often mistake as being “careful”, but what really does it mean to be “mindful”? The dictionary defines mindfulness as: “a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique.” There are so many books about how to be mindful through meditation, eating, working, listening – honestly, there is no shortage of information about being aware of your present circumstances. But, does awareness always mean “enjoyment”? Nobody can be continuously happy all of the time, but you can “enjoy” the moments. Even the one’s that are difficult. Enjoy them because they are making you stronger, wiser and you are growing! Enjoy the precious ones, however small. Be mindful.
Albert Schweitzer said, “Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.”–

“If you have much, give your wealth; if you have little, give your heart.” ~ Anonymous
There have been so many movements about “Paying It Forward”, and this is a good habit to make as you seek growth. When you give somebody a referral, or do a kind deed, or act out of the goodness of your heart, you are setting in motion a pattern that evolves into a beautiful pattern. Make a habit to pay good deeds forward. If someone does something nice for you, do something nice for somebody else, especially if it’s a stranger. Paying good deeds will have multiple benefits for your health, your self-esteem, your personal life, and your professional life. As Albert Einstein said, “A life lived for others, is the only life worth living.”
Together we can change the world, one good deed at a time.

Keeping promises isn’t always easy. In fact, I recently read that as soon as somebody says, “I promise”, that is the beginning of a lie. Do you believe that? I know that when I make a promise, I keep it. But I’ve also learned that there are times when a promise is going to be broken, but I find that I make less promises that I’m unable to keep, because I limit that commitment.
There is a beautiful quote from the book, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, “Sometimes people don’t understand the promises they’re making when they make them. But you keep the promise anyway. That’s what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway.”
When you make a promise, make a habit of keeping that promise. And only make promises that you can keep!

“He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.”–Chinese Proverb
Have you ever had a crisis of conscience? Do you always “do the right thing”? A person’s moral sense of right or wrong, their “moral compass” is what will drive your decisions, actions, behaviors and attitudes. It can be different with everyone, depending on beliefs, culture, upbringing and status. So, when you hear the term, “Listen to your Conscience”, your conscience is your heart, your soul, your inner world. When you are out today, listen to what that inner voice is telling you. Listen to that gut check. Make a habit to listen to your conscience, and make the right decisions.
And remember what Leo Tolstoy said, “Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.”

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and “Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.”–Lyndon Johnson.
Did you know that 90% of people say they have a major regret about something in their lives? Regret is the second most frequently mentioned emotion after love. According to the website “happify.com”, romance, family, education, career, and finances are top on the list of regrets, with relationships being the largest because of our inherent need to belong.
Don’t let regrets keep you from living life to the fullest. Live without the regrets, and make a habit of it. Don’t let guilt over an indulgence cause you to miss out on something truly great! Stop thinking about what could have been, and start making new habits of what can be!
Choose to make a new ending.

If you made a habit to “save for a rainy day”, would that stir up thoughts of setting money aside in case you ever need it? What if we “saved” good thoughts for those times that we are feeling sad and blue? How about saving up happy memories, or compliments, or even ideas!
“If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.”–William Arthur Ward.
I’m a big believer in the science of positive psychology. Of course you can make a habit of saving money for a rainy day; that would be a great habit to create. While you’re at it, save up a good thought, comment, compliment or memory too! They help to pull you out of that occasional slump.

There is so much talk about what makes a good leader. According to Peter Drucker, “Leadership is not magnetic personality — that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not ‘making friends and influencing people’ — that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to high sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.”
Make a habit to look for the good in people. Lift them up. Raise them to a higher standard. That’s what will make you a leader in anything that you do. When you make an effort to find the good in people, it will also make you feel good about yourself, and that’s a habit worth working on. Be a leader by bringing out the good in people.
Scottish Novelist, John Buchan wrote, “The task of leadership is not to put greatness into people, but to elicit it, for the greatness is there already.”

“If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.”–Charles R. Swindoll.
If making a “difference” is important to you, you need to start acting upon it today. No more just talking about it. Take the step to join an organization, volunteer to spend time with the elderly, or make a financial contribution to a cause you believe it. Visit somebody in the hospital, or send someone who needs encouragement a kind note. It doesn’t take much to make a difference, but making a difference means a lot when you actually do it, rather than talk about making a difference. Don’t be that person who says, “one day I want to make a difference”, start acting on it now. And if you don’t know what you can do, all you have to do is look around. There are plenty of people in need.
As Milton Berle said, “If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.”
Make a habit of making a difference in the world. However you do it, it’ll be perfect.

Going through the phases and stages of life will be very eye opening. We need to understand that forgiveness for mistakes that others make, as well as forgiving ourselves is how we are going to survive this crazy life we all live. George Washington Carver said, “How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.”
Isn’t that the truth? The person that you become will really depend on how you are with others along the way. Make a new habit to forgive, forget, and be tender, compassionate, sympathetic, tolerant and mindful, because one day, you’re going to need somebody to do the same for you.

Do you remember learning about the “Golden Rule” when you were in grade school, “Treat others the way that you want to be treated?”
That “golden rule” still applies to you, even as you grow older and wiser. The way that we treat people is a direct reflection of how we feel about ourselves. When you treat somebody poorly, it says more about how you feel about yourself than it does about that individual. I know that when somebody treats me badly, I understand that they are projecting onto me an experience that they have had, or that is how they feel about themselves. You are what you do. So, control your road rage, get a handle on how you speak to your server or barista, or colleague, or spouse or child. Make treating others the way you want to be treated a new habit.
Aristotle said, “Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by understanding core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Responsibility. What are you responsible for? If responsibility is one of your core values, what does that mean?
Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It’s not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument, or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make. Period.
Want more responsibility in your job? Take it. Want more responsibility for your growth? Take it. Responsibility is one of the easiest things to do, all you have to do is seek it and reach out for it. Its yours for the asking! Take responsibility today!

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by understanding core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Popularity. I didn’t really seek popularity, but when I was a radio personality in a small town, I found a bit of popularity with that. The local newspaper editor once called me “infamous”. I found that to be amusing.
I want to inspire people. I want someone to look at me and say, “because of you, I didn’t give up.” I found this quote not too long ago, and attached it to myself. I’ve always wanted to help and inspire others. Does that mean I sought popularity?
Don’t be too hard on yourself. There are plenty of people willing to do that for you. Love yourself and be proud of everything that you do. Even mistakes mean you’re trying.

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by understanding core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Safety. What does safety mean to you? Is it shelter from harm? Having a financial safety net? Is it feeling safe in your relationships? Sometimes we feel unsafe when we are alone, or when crisis occurs.
You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. Safety means different things to different people, but we all seek safety in some way. How do you help others to feel safe? Is it in the work you do? Are your family members, relationships, and customers safe with you?
Do you feel safe today? Don’t confuse your path with your destination, just because its stormy now, doesn’t mean you aren’t headed for sunshine.

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by understanding core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Nature. We were born to love nature. There is a purpose and reason why a trip to the mountains or the ocean is therapeutic. Plan a hike in fresh mountain air or a trip to the beach just to watch the waves ebb and flow. Now is the time, not “someday”. It is so therapeutic.
Time is like a river. You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of life, and appreciate the nature that is around you.
Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere…but sometimes in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself.

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by understanding core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Spirituality. Whenever I do workshops, spirituality is the top answered of all the core values. It’s one of my top values too! What does spirituality mean to you? No doubt, you can find a multitude of answers. To me, it’s my relationship to God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. To others, it’s something else. Only you can define what spirituality means to you, and then – seek your answers.
Albert Einstein said, “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
You are not alone in anything. Life will keep bringing you the same test over and over again until you pass it. I have learned that the purpose of life is to grow! Think about it. Everything must grow, or it dies. Ours is a spiritual journey.

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by identifying our core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Friends. One way to have a good life is to have a good friend. The way to have a good friend is to be one. Don’t bring people in your life who weigh you down. And trust your instincts… good relationships feel good. They feel right. They don’t hurt. They’re not painful. That’s not just with somebody you want to marry, but its with friends that you choose. It’s with people you surround yourself with.
If you want more friends in your life – then be the kind of friend that you would want to spend time with. Care about others as much as you care about yourself. Your list of friends will grow, as you grow. Find friends who are on a similar growth journey, and you’ll be amazed at the support you’ll find!
This has been Kelly’s Apple A Day –I hope that you’ll seek growth like a new kid on the block seeks friends - now go out and be fruitful.

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by identifying our core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Beauty. Is beauty skin deep, or is it found deep within you? How do you define beauty? Is it the perfect body, hair, makeup and wardrobe? When you look in the mirror, do you see a beautiful soul, or are you measuring your beauty on your external attributes?
I can honestly say, that I too, can be found guilty of judging myself too harshly when it comes to my physical appearance. We all do it.
But Ralph Waldo Emerson says, “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” He was talking about our future and our past, and what we’re made of. If you look for it, you will find beauty all around you, and IN you as well!

Today’s Core Value is: Power – Glinda the good witch told Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, that she had the power all along to find her way. Do you believe in yourself? In your own power?
How do you measure your own power? Is it power to direct your own life? Your own decisions? Albert Einstein said, “Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.”
If you realize how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought again. Thoughts are things. Remember that as you go about your day!

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by understanding core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Achievement. Maya Angelou said, “All great achievements require time.” What are some of your achievements? When I ponder this question about my value in my own achievements, not too many of them are found in financial rewards. I feel my Master’s Degree in Psychology was a personal achievement, and one that I am extremely happy with. And yes, it took a lot of time. Writing my book Heart Lessons is another one of my achievements that I value. But, my greatest achievement is my children. I raised them with love, respect and a commitment to their wellbeing and happiness. Jim Rohn said, “The greatest gift you can give to somebody is your own personal development. I used to say, ‘if you will take care of me, I will take care of you.’ Now I say, ‘I will take care of me for you, if you will take care of you for me.’” Achieve something great! And know it’ll take time.

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by understanding core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Knowledge. What is knowledge, and how do you measure it as one of your core values? Knowledge can be a tricky value to define. Does it mean educated? Does it mean “know thy self”? In an article published in Psychology Today, Dr. Gregg Henriques wrote: “In everyday usage, knowledge refers to awareness of or familiarity with various objects, events, ideas, or ways of doing things. But, as philosophers have noted for centuries, things get complicated fairly quickly. Consider, for example, the question: What is real? Is the coke bottle on my desk real? Are the trees outside my window real? What about the number pi? What about the pain from the slight cut on my finger? As one ponders these questions, they quickly give rise to the question of how do I come to know things in the first place?” Here’s what I know: positive emotions can increase the brains ability to make good decisions!

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by identifying our core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Independence. I love the saying, “This is your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.” When we are young and living under our parents roof, we can’t wait to experience our independence. We are built to walk our individual journey, but we are never really walking it entirely alone. How do you value your independence? What place does it hold in your life? Do you wish to be independent of financial worries, or work obligations? Do you long to be independently wealthy or self employed? Think about it.
You don’t get what you wish for, you get what you work for. You may walk this road alone, but we’re all on a journey together.

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by understanding core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Success – Let your dreams be bigger than your fears and your actions be louder than your words. Successful people do things differently. Here’s a great list: They create and pursue SMART Goals. They take decisive and immediate action. They focus on being productive, not being busy. They make logical, informed decisions. They avoid the trap of trying to make things perfect. They work outside their comfort zone. They keep things simple. They focus on making small continuous improvements. They measure and track their progress. They maintain positive outlook as they learn from mistakes. They spend time with the right people. They maintain balance in their life.
Maya Angelou said, “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.” Is success one of your core values?

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by identifying our core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Reason. According to the importance of philosophy, Reason is the process of thinking. Its fundamental attribute is clarity. It uses ideas, memories, emotions, and sensory input. It is the power of the mind to think, understand, and form judgments by a process of logic. Do you value reason? Do people occasionally accuse you of being unreasonable? When we let our emotions and perceptions run away from us, we are on the opposing side of reason. “You do not attract what you want, you attract what you are.” ~Wayne Dyer teaches. But here is what I say – there are times when being unreasonable and breaking a few rules is necessary! Katharine Hepburn exclaimed once, “If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.” ~

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by identifying core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Faith. What is faith to you? For me, personally – faith is belief in all things unseen. I take a leap of faith every morning when I wake up. I don’t know how my day is going to go, but I have faith that I am going to maintain positive thoughts and actions, I will create a great day, and I have faith that God has a plan for my life, my day, my moments. Faith gives me the freedom to feel limitless!
Wayne Dyer says, “The only limits you have, are the limits you believe.”
I maintain faith in myself, my abilities, my creativity and my tenacity. I maintain my faith in God in all things. Faith is one of my biggest and most important core values. Joyce Meyer teaches us to, “Make up your mind that you’re not going to quit…until you see the fruit of what God has placed within you.”

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by understanding our core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Loyalty. What does loyalty mean to you? Sometimes we think that we must be loyal to a fault. What does that even mean? Loyalty to a fault can be dangerous. It can make us unhappy. Being loyal to an employer or a job that makes us unhappy, or a relationship that is broken, or a commitment that we made in a moment of weakness. Does loyalty always create happiness? Being loyal to yourself and your happiness is a core value.
Making a big life change is pretty scary. But you know what’s even scarier? Regret. Don’t let unfounded, or undeserved loyalty to a person, or a job, or a choice prevent you from growth.

Each day, I’ll be sharing one core value at a time, and planting seeds to assist you in cultivating, watering, growing and harvesting a fruitful and plentiful life. The idea here is to identify your own core values and figure out what really inspires you. It’s one of the exercises I utilize in my coaching and therapy practice. If growth is what you seek, spend the next 30 days exploring your personal growth with my Apple A Day! It’ll only take sixty seconds to listen to it, or read for yourself. Share it with your friends and let’s all grow together! I’m filling my orchard with the fruits of people like you. Pardon the pun; I just can’t help myself! Kelly’s Apple A Day is meant to give you just a little bit of growth motivation to begin your day. Tomorrow there will be another one. And you can count on the idea that its only sixty seconds. Just like the saying…. “An Apple a Day keeps the doctor away”…. Well, my version is: “An apple a day, keeps the mundane away”.. or stagnation, or stuck-ness, or whatever word works for you. I may get a little silly too, but that’s the fun of it. Kelly’s Apple A Day will develop, grow and mature like the rest of us.
This has been Kelly’s Apple A Day! Now, go out and be fruitful!

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by identifying core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Family. What does family mean to you? Is it the offspring of biology? You can’t “choose” your biological family.
For me, Family is someone who makes you smile, who checks up on you often to see if you’re okay, who watches out for you and wants the very best for you. Don’t let them go. Keep them close and don’t take them for granted. People like that are hard to find.
But, those of us who are parents need to understand that Our children, on the other hand are only ever lent to us. We never know just how long we will be able to keep them for. So kiss them, cuddle them, praise them, and hold them tightly. But most of all tell them you love them everyday.
Is family one of your core values? I know it’s one of mine!
This has been Kelly’s Apple A Day –I hope that you’ll seek growth like a plant seeks the sun - now go out and be fruitful.

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by understanding core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Humor. I love to be funny! I’m somewhat of a comedian with my own sarcastic wit. Occasionally, humor is actually a defense mechanism for insecurity or discomfort. Or, if you’re like me – you are easily amused and entertained. Humor is a sign of intelligence. People who can laugh at themselves, will never feel the kind of stress and anxiety that those who take themselves too seriously feel. Here’s a tip on finding humor in your day.
Practice random acts of kindness, weirdness and utter you-ness.
Try it. Find the humor in the mundane, in the mistakes, in the day to day of your existence. Laughter is the best medicine! And remember, Life is like a roller coaster. It has its ups and downs, but it’s your choice to scream or enjoy the ride.
This has been Kelly’s Apple A Day –- now go out and be fruitful.

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by identifying our core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Wealth.
If you want something you’ve never had, then you’ve got to do something you’ve never done. What does wealth mean to you? In our society, it usually means money. When we have money, we are perceived as being wealthy. What are some other ways we might consider ourselves to be wealthy? Are you chasing wealth? And if so, what kind of wealth? When you stop chasing the wrong things, you give the right things a chance to catch you.
I think that means that when we believe that wealth is tied to money, we miss out on the blessings of richness in love, friendship, health and abundance. There is nothing wrong with seeking monetary wealth. Just keep your perspective and values focused on how and what kind of wealth you are seeking!
This has been Kelly’s Apple A Day –I hope that you’ll seek growth like a plant seeks the sun - now go out and be fruitful.

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by identifying core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Honesty. Are you honest with yourself? Do you practice honesty with others? What does being honest mean to you personally?
I found this quote to be something that really resonates with my personal journey.
“Be at least as interested in what goes on inside you as what happens outside. If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place.” ~Eckart Tolle
Sometimes we actually lie to ourselves and others. Why? Is it to make ourselves look better to then? Is it to avoid embarrassment? To get ourselves out of a sticky situation?
If you value honesty and integrity, be honest with yourself. Look yourself in the mirror and really pay attention to what is going on inside. Free yourself of deceit and untruthfulness; be sincere. Be authentically you! That’s what I strive for in my personal and professional growth!

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by identifying some core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Love – What is love? Is it a definition that you find in the dictionary, or is it a feeling? Is it an adjective that describes something, like – ‘I really love ice cream” – or is it a verb that says “I love you”! In Biblical terms, found in 1 Corinthians - 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. This is a key core value for me. I have learned that if I consider all my actions to be in “love”, then I will always be in wisdom and success.
Consider this today – make all your actions and interactions come from love – and see what happens.
This has been Kelly’s Apple A Day –now go out and be fruitful.

American Psychologist Albert Ellis had this to say about the ‘musts’ in our lives, “It’s time to let go of the ‘musts’ that hold us back. There are three musts that hold us back: I must do well. You must treat me well. And the world must be easy.” Those are often difficult for people to give up! We are afraid to fail, we want people to treat us well, and we want everything in life to come easily to us. But, these are three ‘musts’ that we have no control over. If you are living and breathing, you are bound to ‘fail’ eventually at something! And, let’s face it, we cannot expect that everyone is going to treat us well. And, who hasn’t discovered by an early age that the world is not going to be easy.
How do we let go of these unrealistic expectations? Allow yourself to take these items off your ‘must have’ list. Of course, I’m not insinuating that “must haves” are not allowed in your life at all. But, we cannot control the events of others or the world, and we cannot control how well we will do at something! These are three ‘musts’ that we must let go of!

Let go of always having things your way. When I was young, I wasn’t always accustomed to getting things “my way”. I was the youngest of four kids, and the only girl. From the outside looking in, one might think that I always got my way and that I was spoiled. But, that’s not how I remember it. I was the baby, and am still looked upon that way in my family. I didn’t usually have a say on where we went to dinner, or what we were going to watch on television, where we would go on vacation and so on. Perhaps it prepared me for a life of knowing that I wasn’t always going to have things my way. Sure, as a single mom, I had some control over what, where and how my family was going to live, do and be. But, I managed to take into consideration the wants and needs of my children. Thankfully, I learned at an early age not to expect that things would always go my way. This is a mindset that holds many people back from achieving peace and balance. When you are constantly in a battle to ‘have things your way’, you close yourself off to new ideas and possibilities, different perspectives and solutions. When you insist on having things your way all the time, you aren’t able to truly value those around you. Give it some thought. What are some of the things that you might let go of always having things your way?

Let go of impulsivity. There are some mental health diagnoses that show impulsivity as a symptom of a disorder. Being impulsive, like taking off on an adventure or taking a leap of faith is okay, once in a while – as long as it is healthy for you and puts no one in harm’s way or endangers you. But, when impulsivity wreaks havoc on your finances because you impulsively bought a new wardrobe, or perhaps impulsive acts destroyed one’s trust in you – that is when you need to work on letting go on the urge for impulsivity. Impulsive acts can have a negative impact on your health, your finances, relationships and career. Once in a while you know when something is right instantly. But when impulsiveness is a habit it can get you into trouble. Think things through, do your research, pray for wisdom.
Jane Austen wrote in her novel Pride and Prejudice, “Every impulse of feeling should be guided by reason; and, in my opinion, exertion should always be in proportion to what is required.”
Just because you have an impulse, doesn’t make it wrong immediately, but when you use reason to guide you and weigh the decision with wisdom and respect, you’ll make better decisions. Let go of being impulsive!

Let go of trying to let go. Many times when I am working with clients, it becomes clear that the concept of letting go of what is holding them back is too much to ask of them. They focus so much on what they should let go of, that they only grasp on tighter! Letting go can’t be explained or even taught. You have to experience it and it won’t happen with a checklist or a baby step process. Letting go must be a choice, an intentional process. Something you do, day by day.
One of my favorite illustrations and rituals to experience how to just let go of letting go is the release of a balloon. That balloon represents all the things you hang on to, the hurts, the broken dreams and promises, the traumas and tragedies, the triumphs and the rewards that are fleeting. Letting go doesn’t have to be hard. It can be as simple as the release of that light balloon ascending into the sky, floating and careening away from you, allowing new experiences and lessons to propel you toward growth.
Don’t just try to let go of what you’re holding on to. Actually let it go!

. Let go and be BOLD! What does it mean to you to be bold? In general, it means showing an ability to take risks; confident and courageous. But, even that definition is going to be subjective. So, how will you let go of a mediocre life a be bold? In the film “Bruce Almighty”, the character played by Jim Carey (aka Bruce), wants more success in his life and he is angry and grudge holding because others have been promoted before him and have more than he does. They have much more perceived success and happiness. Bruce complains he is tired of his mediocre career, mediocre apartment… mediocre life.
In the film, Bruce learns that when he let’s go of the anger, the grudges, the perception that his ‘mediocre’ life is of little value, he begins to live boldly! He becomes more confident and courageous in his work, life and becomes successful!
In order to let go and be bold, you must be ready to release grudges and forgive more. Holding onto anger and hurt only causes more pain.
Let go and be bold!

Let go of comparing yourself to the people you work with, or your neighbors, or your kid’s parents, or your friends. I too can be guilty of comparing my success to others, or my appearance. Celebrate the true you, by letting go of comparing your accomplishments, education, life experiences or even tragedies to others. You are unique in your own special way, and no two people are alike. Cherish that idea. Celebrate the individual that you are!
When you judge yourself too harshly and feel inferior to others, jealousy and envy rise up and poison your spirit. Take stock in a life review, look at where you’ve been and how far you have come – on your journey. Each of us are on our own journey through life and just like you are unique, so are they. No two journey’s will ever be the same. When you focus on your life, your experiences, your intentions, you’ll begin to seek to grow from it, and cease to feeling victimized by circumstances. Take time for self care, personal growth through learning and understanding your own journey, and you will let go of comparing yourself to others.

How often do you find yourself giving unsolicited advice to family, friends, colleagues or even the lady perusing the apples in the produce section of the grocery store? Did they even ask for advice from you? And if they did, do you believe they will actually utilize your humble opinion?
Giving unsolicited advice, if not careful can actually be your attempt to control the other person’s behaviors. And, you may not even realize that that is what you are doing. It’s time to spend more time focusing on yourself and leading by an example. Let go of trying to control others.
Zen blogger, Leo Babauta says, “Let go of wanting to control people, of wanting to change them. Instead, focus on yourself and be the shining example. Be the compassionate center.”
When we try to control others it leads to resentment and resistance. Trying to control others only impedes our growth which we need in order to move forward and enjoy our life fully. Enjoy your life by letting go of controlling others!

Who do you think you are? The answer to that question isn’t all that pretty! I remember sharing with a friend of mine the struggles I was having while operating my family radio station. She was a dear friend, but as a homemaker had never actually spent time in a professional world. We were friends of a different nature and she was naïve to my business and professional life. When she inquired, “Who do you think you are, Kelly?”, I was taken aback only because at that very moment, it became abundantly clear that this particular friend would never quite understand the problem I needed to address. To her, I was a mother, just like her. It wasn’t who I thought I was that she was asking about, it was her own sense of believing that ‘mother’ was all she was, nothing more. Was my friend limiting what she might be by thinking that she was merely a wife and mother?
I still see this old, dear friend on occasion and she is much more today than she was when we first had this revelation. She let go of thinking she was “just a mother”, and grew into more than she had imagined.
It is written in the Tao Te Ching, “When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need.”
Let go of who you think you are, and grow!

You may remember the television program Charmed where the three sisters were witches and battled supernatural demons with intentions to ruin their lives and the lives of others. Remember all the awesome tools and tricks they employed in order to banish those demons from their lives.
It’s time for you to let go and banish all of your demons! Yes, those demons that cause you to hold grudges, be angry and frustrated, and prevent you from enjoying your life. Those demons that keep you chained to a past that only breeds more negativity and unhappiness. You may try to convince others that your situation is more unique and traumatic, therefore you deserve to hold on to it. But, honestly, everyone is unique and by holding onto these demons, you are only preventing yourself from blooming into the happy and successful creation that you truly are and want to be.
Celebrate that you’ve come this far!
Oprah Winfrey said, “Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.”

Have you ever uttered the words, “I know what you’re going to tell me”… or … “This is never going to work!”
Let go of the certainty in your perception. You are not a fortune teller, or a predictor of the future. Nothing is certain.
Believing in certainty will lead you to either never making decisions or just plain always expecting the worst to happen, therefore manifesting failure. There is so much talk about ‘manifesting’, and ‘abundance’ and ‘visualization’ – all buzz words for one simple principle. When you believe that anything is possible, you open up more possibilities! It’s true. Just like how one might visualize a garden, the possibilities would be endless as they imagine flowers, shrubs, succulents, trees and the like. Now, if one speaks or thinks about that garden with the certainty that it’ll be too much work, or that they will fail to keep the plants alive, the garden will most like never come to life.
Let go of that certainty! Although you can’t predict the future, you can alter your perception of it and do what it takes to insure your happiness and success. Yes, you can ‘manifest’, create ‘abundance’, by ‘visualizing’ how you want life to look like. Then, let go of the certainty because you aren’t a fortune teller. Do the work!

Let go of judging and be more understanding. When you judge others opinions, beliefs, views or behaviors – you may find that somehow you feel empowered and created a self-esteem boost, but eventually you’ll begin to feel badly. Who do you know in your business or personal life that judges others harshly? Women can be very guilty of judging other women for their appearance or how their children behave. Differing religions often judge other religious views in a negative light. Cultures judge other cultures, generations judge other generations, and the list goes on.
Judging others causes a temporary sense of superiority, but it never really lasts. When you really make an effort toward understanding that we are all different, with different beliefs, views and opinions, possibilities, growth and opportunities open up to you.
Be proud of who you are, and increase your self- esteem by being understanding of others. Let go of judgements!
Be a person who thinks, does and helps.

Let go and be YOU!
What prevents you from being exactly who you are? It’s usually some sort of self hate, or low esteem or a belief that we don’t deserve happiness, success or prosperity. It’s time to let go of hate, it is an ugly feeling. The cycle of hate toward ourselves and others breeds more hate. It is an ugly, perpetual circle. When you let go of hate, you will do just the opposite. You will hold onto love and you will be closer to the true you. Love is such a beautiful act, and when you act in love, miracles happen.
Philosopher Alan Watts wrote, “The attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.”
Who is the true you? If you can’t answer that question, it is time for you to let go of the hate that blocks you from love. You cannot love yourself and be who you are really meant to be if you hold on to hate.
Let go, and be you! As they say … warts and all! Love your flaws, love your quirks. Honor your weaknesses and celebrate your strengths. You are perfect … exactly as you are! Let go and be you!

Let go of perfection! We often expect so much from ourselves. Is perfectionism sabotaging your life and career? When my daughter was a pre-teen, she would spend so much time in front of the mirror doing her hair before she left for school. It was a morning ritual. She would comb and put her hair in barrettes or a pony tail, or braid, or whatever hairstyle it was going to be that day and if a hair was out of place, or she couldn’t get the hair to lay in just the right way, she would throw down the comb and scream, “I hate my hair!”. She wanted… no needed it to be absolutely perfect. And she wasted a lot of time trying to make it perfect. I remember a teacher at a parent conference informing me that she was an over-achiever, on the brink of perfectionism that needed to be carefully watched, or she would become obsessive. Thankfully, she eventually overcame the need for perfectionism with her hair, but not without some lessons along the way. The need to be perfect could be a result of low self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy.
Let go of the need to be perfect. Nobody is perfect!

Do you feel the need to be responsible for everything that happens in your life? Is everything your fault? When we allow ourselves to feel responsible for everything, good and bad alike, it gives us a sense of control, but not always for healthy reasons. There are some things that we have no control over, therefore we are not responsible for them.
Author Melody Beattie wrote, “Letting go helps us to live in a more peaceful state of mind and helps restore our balance. It allows others to be responsible for themselves and for us to take our hands off situations that do not belong to us. This frees us from unnecessary stress.” Want to relieve yourself from unnecessary stress? What or whom are you owning responsibility for in your life? The direction your life takes isn’t any more the responsibility of your parents, your education or your government – its yours. And on that same token, the direction or decisions that others make in their lives, isn’t your responsibility either!
Give yourself permission to let go of feeling responsible for everything that happens in your life.

Let go of the busyness and multi-tasking in your life. Take time to stop and appreciate your life today, as it is, without all the distractions. We live in a society where being ‘busy’ is viewed as being ‘successful’.
I’ve learned over my years in business and my life, just how to stop and appreciate moments. I practice mindfulness and I teach it to my clients. Even as a busy coach and therapist – I value the personal time I share with my clients, and don’t try to multi-task or feel pressured in any way when I’m working with them. I have learned to let go of being busy all the time.
Buddist teacher, Ajahn Chah wrote this about being mindful, “Just go into the room, sit in the center of the room, open the doors and windows, and see who comes to visit. You will witness all kinds of scenes and actors, all kinds of temptations and stories, everything imaginable. Your only job is to stay in your seat. You will see it all arise and pass, and out of this, wisdom and understanding will come.”
You can do this anywhere, at any time. It is a wonder what wisdom and understanding will come from letting go of being busy.

It’s time to allow yourself to let go of the rope! Let go of clinging to what was or what you think you wanted but didn’t happen! When we grasp on or clutch on to something too tightly, whether a person or a thing, or a job or a house, or a kid – it actually has a negative reaction.
I share my personal observations about teaching people how to waterski in my workshops and seminars. When there is nothing left of an old thought, or dream, or job – perhaps a relationship ended or you’ve had to move away. Allow yourself to let go. It’s as though by hanging on and clinging to an idea or a person, job or social group is a way to keep the past alive, or a limiting hope that it will reverse itself and you’ll be back on your feet!
Just like waterskiing, when you’re down, you’re down. There is no way to get back up, and the only option is to ‘let go of the rope’.
What idea, dream or person are you clinging to, even though all logic tells you that its time … to let go!

One of my favorite Billy Joel songs is titled, “I Go to Extremes.” I’ll admit, I’m a big Billy Joel fan, and whenever a song by him is playing, you can bet I’ll be singing. But, the lyrics for “I Go To Extremes” are actually counter-productive to your personal growth!
Darling I don't know why I got to extremes Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens And if I stand or I fall It's all or nothing at all Darling I don't know why I got to extremes
Managing your life in the middle of the extremes isn’t easy, but achieving a balance is necessary for your personal and professional growth. In psychotherapeutic terms, emotional highs and lows could signify an imbalance and should be treated. If you’ve developed a habit of going to extremes, whether it is going overboard in business, romance or even punishments – it is a good idea to take stock in how extreme you might be. For example, if you are trying to build a business and believe that you must be attached to your phone or email 7 days a week, that could be considered extreme. Or, in romance and relationships – if you believe they should meet all your needs and know exactly what you want; it is time to let that extreme go.
Take a break and let go of going to extremes!

Often times when a person is stuck in a rut, it is a result of chronic procrastination. I admit that there are times when I will procrastinate a task or a goal. I tell myself it is for the greater good, or that it isn’t as important on my list of priorities. But, overall – I wouldn’t classify myself as a chronic procrastinator, even when I was in school and had to turn in a project.
How about you? It is time for you to let go of procrastinating! Did you realize that procrastination is fear based? It mostly signifies a fear of failure… or laziness! Of course you don’t want to fail, nobody does! So, because we are so afraid to fail, some of us merely procrastinate. It is quite possible that you might just fear success and happiness.
Hockey great Wayne Gretzky said, “Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy.” If you are a procrastinator, it is time to let it go. Make small and simple steps toward your goals by acting on them. Begin one step at a time. Put actions together by making a very important appointment with yourself to begin!
All you have is now!

Letting go is almost a cliché today. But, letting go doesn’t mean you are giving up, and it definitely does not mean that you are lazy or looking for a way out! Letting go might not be fun, but it will help you feel courageous and help you move forward!
Let’s explore ways of letting go over the next bunch of apples! We’ll start by letting go of procrastination, going to extremes, clinging on to things that have no value, complaining, being too busy with multi-tasking, trying to control others and comparing ourselves.
Letting go isn’t always easy. There are times we must let go of dreams that will just never be. When does that happen and become necessary to our well-being? When a dream we hang on to prevents us from growth, it keeps us stuck.
What is a dream you had that has not been achieved? Oftentimes, it is a dream that is not in our control; like winning the lottery; being a famous actor or rock star; making somebody come back into our lives.
Letting go is not the same as giving up. There are occasions when letting something go is the healthiest decision you ever made!

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple a Day. Sixty seconds on wisdom, success, and personal growth. We’re focusing on 30 days of growth with gratitude and Thanksgiving. Be thankful for downtime. Be thankful for opportunities to spend relaxing and loving and playing. We live in a cult of busy-ness. Somehow, the idea that being too busy means we are achieving success and our dreams! When I talk
to people who say, “Oh, well- I’m too busy for…(fill in the blank), I wonder what they are actually avoiding? I remember a college professor and friend of mine was always busy. She was busy teaching multiple classes at multiple colleges. She was busy with her grown children and grandchildren. She appeared to have achieved so much success. But there was something missing. I remember asking her, “Why do you keep yourself so busy? Is to avoid the reality that you are lonely?” Tears began to well up in her eyes. “Yes,” she replied. “I don’t have a relationship that is
significant to me.” Whatever it is that we want, yet do not have – is what we strive for. When we create such a busy life, we neglect the wants we really have.
Don’t let yourself get so busy that you don’t make time for love, for family, for relaxation, for FUN! When we all get to the end of our lives…. We won’t be saying, I wish I would have spent more time working, or slaving away at my computer, or …. You get the idea.

What seeds have been planted in your mind? Do you celebrate success, or do you beat yourself up when something doesn’t work out right? Zig Ziglar says “people often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing, that’s why we recommend it daily.”
When you start your day, is it possible that you start out thinking negative seeds in your garden? Practicing gratitude daily, will plant positive seeds in your mind, in your heart, in your business life, and in your personal life. It’s time to celebrate the harvest of all your good work. Negative seeds need to be weeded out.
Only water the positive seeds.
“If you are feeling down, speak up. You don’t need to go through it alone.” I am a student of my own experience. Growth is my focus. Growth is my philosophy. I’m thankful for all of my experiences, the good, the bad, the ugly, and the opportunities to celebrate!
I’m busy Planting Life Skills- giving you the tools to grow.

Vincent Van Praagh teaches, “Life is about change and growth. Have the courage to step out of self- imposed expectations and try a brand new experience.”
Have you suffered a failure or crisis recently? Making a comeback after a crisis; whether it’s a failed business, or a failed relationship, or failing health, is definitely challenging. What do you do when it seems as though everyone else’s life and career path has been always going uphill? They talk about all of their successes
and where they’re at and how they’ve won all these awards and you’re still struggling to find out how you come back after a crisis? Your priorities are changed, and your focus is different, and you think that maybe you want to change careers. When you discover this, understand it takes time. Don’t compare yourself to others success or how their life is going, because you never know
what’s just around the corner for that individual either or where they’ve been to get to where they are today. Be grateful for your own experience.

Let’s imagine that moments in our lives are like leaves on a tree, our Life Tree. Then that one bad moment that you had today, does it have to destroy your entire life tree? What about 10 bad moments? 20 bad moments? 50 bad moments? Whatever is happening, if it’s negative, its only one moment on your tree. Maybe it’ll be a hundred moments, but think about the entire span of your
life – and all those leaves that grow on the tree. If you consider that moments are just leaves on your tree of life, then you can consider that, “okay, there is always going to be a bad moment here and there, but in the bigger scheme of things, the bigger picture, each moment is just one leaf on this massive tree that you are continually growing. And, you know, just like when the fall comes, and the winter comes, those leaves fall off. So those moments, those bad moments, can be forgotten if you let them. So, consider the moments in your life as leaves that grow on your tree of life. And be thankful for the leaves, the moments, they are fleeting.

If you don’t grow, you die. That is relevant to so many things. What happens in our relationships if they don’t grow? What about your business? It either grows or it dies. Are you happy with where you’re at right now? Or are you seeking growth? We want our relationships to grow, we want the love to grow, we want the plants we put in our yard or our house to grow. We water them, we tend to
them, we take care of them. So what are you doing for yourself? How are you growing emotionally? Mentally? Intellectually? Spiritually? These are the key components to growth. Are you expressing gratitude for your own personal and professional growth? If you’re not seeking to learn new things, to experience
more life; to grow, then what are you doing? You’re stagnating. You’re staying put. And how can you be thankful for that? Practicing gratitude and thankfulness in all your experiences will encourage growth.

“Never let success get to your head. Never let failure get to your heart.”
What are your strengths? Has anyone ever pointed them out to you, or have you ever thought to discover what you’re really good at? I’m good at writing, dancing, being creative, helping people, coming up with solutions to problems. I’m not very crafty however, nor do I enjoy spending a lot of time in the kitchen. Some people do. And I envy them. Those aren’t my strengths. I am however thankful for
my strengths that I do acknowledge. Make a list of your strengths. And then be grateful for each and every one of them. Don’t compare yourself to other people and their strengths.
“Stop hating yourself for everything that you aren’t. Start loving yourself for everything that you are.”
Be grateful for the strengths you have.

Are you brave? I think that I have always been called brave, for a number of reasons. I remember a few years ago, after I had recovered from a serious illness with my heart, I volunteered to dance for a charity event. My dance partner and I worked very hard choreographing a dance number and creating unique costumes
for this function. When our performance was over, an acquaintance shared with me how cute she thought the dance was and then she called me brave. I wasn’t sure how to respond to her. Was I brave to be out there dancing? Was I brave to wear the costume that I did? My perspective was; I was grateful that I was healthy enough again to be able to dance on stage. Yes I was older than my previous years dancing on stage; I was heavier than I was would have liked to have been, but I was grateful that I was healthy enough to dance. As you age, be brave; be bold; be thankful for what you have. Today is a gift. Don’t let anything stop you from
being brave.

Are you grateful for our own personal growth?
When you were a kid, and somebody hadn’t seen you for a while, you might hear them say, “Look at how you’ve grown!” We even do that when we watch our plants grow, we watch our bank accounts grow, we watch our communities and churches grow; we get so happy and so proud when they’ve grown. My personal philosophy is, that is the purpose of life.
Growth. Be grateful for your experiences that cause you to grow. We grow from struggles, trials, failures, and a multitude of life experiences. Try not to look at it as weakness. Look inside and be grateful for how you are growing emotionally, mentally, spiritually. Now, that is where that growth truly begins.
And remember, “Be grateful for people in your life who truly love you, motivate you, encourage you, inspire you, enhance you and make you happy. If you have people who do none of that, let them go!”

I recently facilitated a Women's retreat with some colleagues. All of us brought something different to the table; mental health psycho – education, spirituality, physical health and art as a therapeutic exercise.
As the participants worked on their paintings, I saw them all come to life. The artist described their brush strokes in such a way that resembles life. She said, “Don't be so rigid, let yourself go free, allow for some messiness, it only makes your painting more unique.”
I shared with the group how it resembles life. ..... Be grateful for those moments that teach you lessons. The messiness.
As Caroline Myss wrote, “The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.”
And everyone's painting, although stemming from a similar model, had uniquely their own creation. It was beautiful. And a little messy. Like life.

Be grateful for detours on your daily adventure. You never know what kind of blessing is just around the corner. Not too long ago, I had a meeting in Los Angeles. “What can we learn from this?” asked the young Starbucks Barista.
When I got to the counter to get a cup of coffee, my frustration must’ve been written all over my body language. I shared my tale of a dead cell phone, that my car charger had failed and I had no clue where my destination was. I was completely relying on the kindness of strangers for help. A cellular store was charging my phone and the Starbucks Crew gave me a safe place to land. What
did I learn? Number one – Always print your directions if you’re prone to getting lost like I am. Number two – Be thankful for detours that provide for adventure. I made it to my destination, a little late – but with a great story to tell that created dialogue for bonding and relationship building.

Is happiness something you can chase, or is it foolish to even try? I found some interesting snippets of information in Psychology Today. This little nugget came from a 2013 issue. “Everything in moderation,” cautions a psychologist at the University of California, Riverside. It’s fine to want to be happier – as long as it doesn’t slide into an obsession. Don’t keep thinking: is this working? Am I happy?
Put your effort into being a kinder person, improving your relationships, and savoring daily pleasures.”
It’s hard to think happy thoughts every moment of the day, so try just being a kinder person. For example: today I held the door open for somebody walking into the gym. It made me feel better, and it was an act of kindness that wasn’t asked for. And it made be happy. Will you try it?
But don’t mistake gratitude for an IOU. Don’t feel obligated to repay the favor. It’s not about keeping score; that will just foster negative feelings between you and the other person. Be kind, because it makes you happy.

When you achieve success at something, whether it’s work or at home or at school, make sure that you thank the people that helped you get there.
Whenever I see somebody giving a speech for an award that they won, it’s so rewarding to see them speak kind words about those who helped them get to that point in their career or level of achievement. We often forget those that we’ve left behind when we achieve success. Try thanking somebody today for helping you get to where you are. But, while you’re at it, make sure to give yourself some credit where credit is due, don’t sell yourself short. The desire to show humility, can often be misinterpreted as low self-esteem. Tryon Edwards said, “True humility is not an abject, groveling, self- despising spirit; it is the right estimate of ourselves as God sees us.”
So be grateful for your achievements, and thank those who helped you along the way. Might be a good day to make the call to someone today.

Gandhi said, “What you think, you become.”
If you think negative thoughts, you will be a negative person. Negative things will happen to you. Other people will see you as being negative. If you think positive thoughts; positive things will come to you. Practicing gratitude and thankfulness will help keep you positive. It also changes the chemistry in your brain. Consider
your brain to be a muscle. It takes practice to be positive and thankful daily.
Here’s a list on how to be thankful every day. Start with just one thing.
- Write down daily blessings
- Stop and “smell the roses”
- Practice mindfulness for small moments during the day
- Have visual reminders such as sticky notes, meaningful
- pictures, create a collage
- Listen to or sing inspiring songs
- Do volunteer work

Is it possible to overdo thankfulness? When I am working with a client that struggles with sadness, depression, anxiety, or other life issues, I encourage them to start a gratitude journal. I encourage them to start out slowly, start small, look for the little things to be thankful for. It could be low price of gas, or catching all the green lights on the way the office, or simply having a nice cup of coffee in the morning. Is it possible to overdo it? According to some advice I found in Psychology Today, there was a study that was done and it was discovered that people who track to their gratitude once per week experienced increased happiness; but those who track the gratitude three times per week did not. It went on to say that the possibility of running out of things to write, counterproductively, make you feel like you don’t have much to be grateful for.
Everything in moderation! Look for the small things to be thankful for, and be realistic.

Seek growth and your purpose will find you. Seek gratitude and you’ll find happiness.
Do you wonder what your purpose is? I often work with clients who are seeking their life purpose. That totally makes sense. No matter what your age, we’re always seeking something new. My philosophy is this; if you’re constantly, perpetually promoting your personal growth, you’re going to know your purpose.
Because your purpose is to continue to grow. Your purpose may change from day to day, month to month, or year to year.
When you’re younger, your purpose might be “I’m supposed to be a mother” or “I’m supposed to be in this career” or “I’m supposed to do this”. And then you go through a growth spurt and your purpose changes. Your purpose is not really as big a mystery as you think. If you’re seeking growth, your purpose will find you.
So be thankful for opportunities to learn and grow.

Passion! What does that word mean? As we practice gratitude and Thanksgiving, I want to know; what are you passionate about? Do you even know anymore?
When I think of the word passion; the term love, always comes to mind. There is a lot of talk about passionate love, but how about your career? Your job? Your life?
Are you passionately in love with it? You are as happy as you choose to be. There is no point in stressing over something you can’t change. Be grateful for the experience, move on and grow stronger!
Maya Angelou said, “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”
Find your passion by seeking growth in all that you do. Be grateful for experiences that teach you something. Today, be thankful that you have a job, that you have your health, and that you can be happy as you choose to be.

Love is a great investment. Are you thankful for the investments that you’ve made in your life up to this point?
A new house, or a valuable stock portfolio and even precious gems may seem like good investments today, but will they be there to comfort you in difficult times?
Share your joy in good times? Or sit by you as you breathe your last breath?
Live simply, dream big, be grateful, give love, laugh lots.
Robert Holden said, One new perception, one fresh thought, one act of surrender, one change of heart, one leap of faith, can change your life forever.”
As you’re busy building a successful life, and making investments in business or other capital, make sure you invest in human capital, thankfulness, giving love,
and your time.
Invest some time and energy in loving others and watch your investment grow.

When my career first started I was a teenager. I navigated my way, and learned about networking and the importance of meeting other people in my early 20s and had the experience of being what might be called a ‘big fish in a little pond’; well, what would be considered a little pond back in those days. Fast
forward almost 20 years later and I restarting over in a new community where nobody knew me, and I’m repeating the things that I had learned. Meanwhile, I’m also restarting in the national and international forum and arena with social media and getting my name and my experiences out there. It’s a constant change and a constant evolution, which means it is constant and perpetual growth. So even when you have set backs, mine were an instance of a health crisis that completely derailed my life. When something that happens in your life; don’t give up. Don’t let it prevent you from moving forward, even if it means starting over somewhere else. You can use the tools, what worked for you before, to continue
to build upon and the things that you didn’t like about what you were doing before, you can eliminate them. That is the beauty about this new craze of transformation or reinventing. It’s all about growth.

Two, four, six, eight! Who do we appreciate? When I began working on this topic about who you appreciate, I just couldn’t help but think of that cheer, from when I was a cheerleader. Who did we appreciate?
Who in your life do you appreciate? Do you cheer them on? Do you let them know how much you appreciate them? Do you show your gratitude? Being grateful for others is good for our health, emotions, and spirituality. Expressing that gratitude also boosts the mood of the person were thankful for. Don’t hold back. Make one call today. Send that email of gratitude. Connect with somebody
on social media and let them know you appreciate them. Take the time to show appreciation. And you know, it could even be somebody you don’t like. “Be grateful when someone undermines your dreams, predicts your doom, or criticizes you in anyway, because they just shared their story, not yours!”
Say this mantra in your head today, two, four, six, eight! Whom do I appreciate?

“The way you start your day can affect your whole day…begin it with a smile, calmness of mind, coolness of emotions and a heart filled with gratitude.”
Think about this as you go about your day, how am I fortunate? Begin by counting your blessings. What are the things you are thankful for? Make a note of it. I start my day off writing in my journal, in my cozy chair, with a hot cup of coffee, with hazelnut creamer, and begin to write some words of gratitude. I love the slow
starts of my day. I make a list of things I was grateful for the day before, and I make a mental note to look for things to be grateful for all day long. This has worked for me for years. I encourage all my clients to keep a gratitude journal.
Now you may not have time to sit with a cup of coffee and have a slow morning like I do, you may appreciate being able to jot down a note on a Post-it, or in your notepad on your smart phone, or even record yourself a message. Ask yourself the question today, how am I fortunate? I’ll bet you have a long list.

What abilities am I grateful for? Are you honest about the talents that you have?
We were all given talents in our lives. Some are good at sales, math, engineering, cooking, physical fitness, sports, shopping, writing, dancing, painting, parenting.
Maybe you are good at all of that. The question is, are you grateful for these abilities? Sometimes we take our talents and skills for granted. And when one doesn’t possess a specific talent, we tend to beat ourselves up over it.
Know this, “Life is a circle of happiness, sadness, hard times and good times. If you are going through hard times, have faith that the good times are on the way.”
Stay focused on your strengths, appreciate the strengths of others, and don’t compare yourselves. We all have different purpose to fulfill, although growth, is how we’ll get there. Focus on your own personal and professional growth. And be grateful for the abilities you have already accumulated. Let’s just grow some more.

Let’s talk about the relationships that we can be thankful for. What kind of relationships do you have? Romantic, family, friendship, acquaintances, boss, client, business partner? We are the sum of the five people we spend the most time with. Whether they have a negative impact on your life, or a positive one, they matter. “Give thanks to those who did you wrong. They unknowingly made you strong.” Make a promise to spend more time with the relationships that cause you to feel thankful. Set healthy boundaries. And remember, “You will never become who you want to be if you keep blaming everyone else for who you are now.”
Some of the relationships that I’m thankful for our my family, my love, my parents, my granddaughters, my old friends, my new friends, clients, new acquaintances. And of course I’m thankful for you. See how easy that is? So I’ll ask you again, what relationships are you thankful for? Make a list, I’ll bet it’s a long one.

What am I taking for granted, that if I stop to think about it, I am grateful for?
I love to go out on a morning walk. I learned to be very mindful of the smells around me; of the sites; of the sound of my feet as it walks across the sidewalk; of the dogs barking; the school bus stopping to pick up the children; the roses just blooming on the rosebush; the fresh cut grass on the golf course. It would be very
easy to take these things for granted. I’ll admit, I used to. But I have learned, that daily gratitude for even the smallest things, it adds up to a lot of things to be
grateful for.
What do you take for granted? Why don’t you think about it, and make a list. It could be something as simple as taking for granted that you have running vehicle, a roof over your head, food in your refrigerator, clothes to wear, good health. We take these things for granted on a daily basis. Today, stopped to think about it, be grateful for the things you usually take for granted.

What insights have I gained that I am grateful for? Life experience, when we decide to learn from it, can provide us with great insight for future events. I have learned, that past experiences have prepared me to be a therapist and a coach. I have gained great insight into the business world, how people behave, and why
they do what they do. You don’t have to be experienced to gain insight, however.
You can gain insight in a variety of ways. Read it inspiring books, pay attention to those around you, learn from others, listen and observe. All of these are great ways to gain insight.
What kind of insights have you come across lately that you can be grateful for? I try to learn something new about myself and others every day. I’m a work in progress. I grow from experience. And for that I am truly thankful.

Whenever I do a workshop or coaching course on the benefits of gratitude, I teach about how the brain reacts, and the chemistry changes. The dopamine and serotonin levels change in our brain chemistry when we think positive thoughts.
Just like our bodies respond to healthy nutrients, so does our brain to healthy thoughts. When you are depressed, feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uptight; stopping to smell the roses has multiple benefits. First of all, you activate your olfactory senses, which activates positive centers in your brain, and besides, the roses look pretty. While you’re smelling those roses, you’re doing something
positive for yourself. That includes, slowing down, being aware that there is more than what is going on inside, you are appreciating nature, growth, life. And your brain chemistry begins to fire up in a positive way. The act of gratitude, being thankful for the simplest things – like a rose will have a positive impact on your day, your week, your month, your life. Take a chance. Today, make the effort to stop and smell the roses.

I am very grateful for clients! Lately, I’ve had women in pretty high powered positions reach out to me for advice, counsel or just coaching support or mental health support in their struggles in their career path or just something that is going on at work. It’s really important to know that it happens to all of us. I may not always have every answer, and occasionally I still experience stress and get
help from my friends too. Don’t be afraid to reach out, ask some questions, and be thankful for your friends. Often times, we get caught up in feeling as though we have to put on this persona, or put on this mask that we’re not experiencing stress. But when personal problems or financial issues, issues with our children,
and demands from our boss or from our staff get to us and start piling up on us like pancakes – sooner or later, you’re going to break. Talk to somebody. Reach out. Even if it’s me. Send me an email. I’d love to hear from you. Because I’m always thankful for you.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple a Day. Sixty seconds on wisdom, success, and personal growth. We’re focusing on 30 days of growth with gratitude and Thanksgiving.
True gratitude cannot be faked. When you choose to be mindfully grateful, even for the smallest things, it modifies your attitudes and behaviors. Imagine your response to a grateful customer, client, employer, friend, or loved one. When they show they are grateful for you, doesn’t it completely change your attitude, for the entire day? It give you a sense of well-being. Practice being grateful, as it is a positive emotion and filled with goodwill. And remember this, “The more anger you carry in your heart towards the past, the less capable you are of loving in the present.”
Gratitude begets gratitude. It will build exponentially on your day. Try something simple today, be grateful for the worker at the drive-through coffee place, be grateful for that penny you find on the ground, show gratitude for a coworker.
See what happens. Gratitude grows, gratitude builds others up, gratitude just feels good.

As a consultant, coach, mentor, mental health professional – I’m often in the “let’s look at what you want to do and what your dreams are” mode of counseling. I really love that aspect of my job – being an expert at something and being able to really help people gain insight and focus on their true, authentic self. I’ve done it myself. But, no matter how well you are navigating a new path, a
new approach to life, a new idea, career, relationship, and so on… eventually we find ourselves stuck in the mud of a problem or obstacle that we hadn’t counted on. I encountered many professionals who became a mentor of some kind or another to me. Over the course of the years, I’ve had so many individuals who
have given me sound counsel and advice that I cannot even name them all anymore. And, in the same manner, I too, have been that mentor to someone else, even when I didn’t realize that that person considered me to be a mentor.
Be thankful for mentors in your life. Be grateful for lessons that you’ve learned, and give back by being a mentor to someone else.

What are the benefits of gratitude? I went to my number one resources, Psychology Today. This is what I found, “Gratitude is an emotion expressing appreciation for what one has—as opposed to a consumer-oriented emphasis on what one wants or needs. Gratitude is getting a great deal of attention as a facet of positive psychology: Studies show that we can deliberately cultivate gratitude, and can increase our well-being and happiness by doing so. In addition, grateful thinking—and especially expression of it to others—is associated with increased levels of energy, optimism, and empathy.”
“You must learn a new way to think before you can master a new way to be.”
~Marianne Williamson
Wise words. Even wiser thoughts. Practicing gratitude will increase your well- being, happiness and personal and professional growth. Today I want you to say this, “Starting today, I will forget what is gone, and appreciate what still remains, and look forward to what is coming next.”

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple a Day. Sixty seconds on wisdom, success, and personal growth. As we wind down our 30 days of growth with gratitude and Thanksgiving; how has your 30 days of gratitude gone for you? I know that for me, preparing these Apple and Day Audioblogs for you has helped me immensely.
Some of these things have been repeated for me over and over again, but some of the quotes that included have planted seeds as reminders, to refill my cup, to stay motivated, and to go about my day with gratitude and Thanksgiving. Now I want to share my gratitude for you. Those who listen to my 60 second audio blogs
on wisdom, success, and personal growth – you’re the one I do this for. So here’s me, saying thank you. Thanks for listening, thanks for participating, and thanks for being you. We are all on a journey, and our purpose is to grow, and I appreciate that you are growing alongside me. Are you ready for the next 30 days of growth?
I know I am!
I’d love for you to send me an email and let me know how this series has helped you. I’d also be thankful if you told me what you need for the next series.

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and
personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by identifying core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Respect. Respect matters. When you dismiss your needs, consider it’s your unconscious agenda to sabotage and avoid responsibility for your own happiness. You truly deserve respect. And you certainly deserve happiness.
“Before you judge my life, my past or my character…walk in my shoes, walk the path I have travelled. Live my sorrow, my doubts, my fear, my pain, and my laughter. Remember, everyone has a story. When you’ve lived my life then you can judge me.”
You cannot demand that others respect you. But you can choose to respect yourself. And when you respect yourself, the one’s who are important, will respect you back.
This has been Kelly’s Apple A Day –- now go out and be fruitful.

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by identifying our core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Adventure. I love a good adventure! I try to experience one nearly every day! Adventures don’t have to be planned, or big – heck, and adventure can be as simple as heading out to the grocery store!
“Believe in yourself and you’ll fly high. It doesn’t matter what people say. It doesn’t matter how long it takes. It only matters how true you are. Be true to yourself and follow your heart. Life is an adventure!
Lao Tzu said; “New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.”
Beginnings and endings are always part of the adventure. Go out and
experience an adventure today!
This has been Kelly’s Apple A Day –I hope that you’ll seek growth like a plant seeks the sun - now go out and be fruitful.

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by identifying our core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Peace. Boundaries provide peace. Someone wrote, “I allow myself to set boundaries. To say no to what does not align with my values, to say yes to what does. Boundaries assist me to remain healthy, honest and living a life that is true to me.”
Boundaries provide peace.
Ego says: Once everything falls into place, I will find peace. Spirit says, find peace and everything will fall into place.
Deepak Chopra wrote: “Finding the hidden dimensions of your life is the way to fulfill your deepest hunger.” There are many ways to find and experience peace. Meditation, prayer, yoga or walking are some of the ways that I find peace. What are yours?

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by identifying our core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Calmness. How do you remain calm in your day-to-day life. I found a great to do list for remaining calm. Count your blessings. Practice kindness. Let go of what you can’t control. Listen to your heart. Be productive, yet calm. Breathe.
You can find serenity and tranquility in a breath. If your day is chaotic, find a quiet room and take a moment to just sit in the stillness. And remember the to-do list I just gave you. Some days will be better than others, so let that calmness fill your heart, even for just 60 seconds a day; it will make a world of difference!
Eventually all the pieces fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moment and know everything happens for a reason.

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by understanding core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Wisdom. This is my personal, number one core value. Napoleon Hill said that “every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seeds of an equal or greater benefit.” I’ve planted a lot of seeds to grow my wisdom orchard!
Someone told me that my writing was very Paulo Coelho-esque. What a fantastic compliment! He said, “Two of the hardest tests in life are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage to accept whatever you encounter.”
Wisdom is not easy to come by.
“A loving heart is the truest wisdom.” ~ that’s a quote from Charles Dickens.
This has been Kelly’s Apple A Day –I hope that you’ll seek growth and wisdom today, with a loving heart - now go out and be fruitful.
Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by understanding core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Freedom. We have all experienced the sense of freedom that comes with milestones in our lives. Graduating from High School meant freedom from mandatory school. Getting your drivers license signified a sense of freedom on the road. What about freedom to be self-employed, or make your own decisions, or freedom from child rearing, or financial freedom. What kind of freedom do you value?
One of the happiest moments ever, is when you find the courage to let go of what you can’t change. That is the ultimate in personal freedom.
“The greatest challenge in life is discovering who you are. The second greatest challenge is being happy with what you find.”
This has been Kelly’s Apple A Day –I hope that you’ll seek growth freely - now go out and be fruitful.

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by understanding core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Fairness. Many times we ask, is life fair? Do you value fairness and equality in work? If you follow rules and are honest and reasonable, then you are demonstrating fairness. What does fairness mean to you? I have a difficult time with the idea of fairness, because fairness or what is deserved are very different. Sometimes people deserve something, and other times they don’t. Is that fair?
There is always a lesson to be learned about fairness. Vincent Van Praagh says, “The ups and downs of our lives are soul lessons, to see if we can uncover spiritual solutions to our problems.” And Marvin J. Ashton said, “If we could look into each others hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.”

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by understanding core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Creativity. I know that I’m a creative person, and it is one of my top values! I love to create for you, through words, or workshops, and it’s something that I’m good at. I’m not very good at painting or crafts, but I wish I was. What sparks your creative nature? We all have it! Be creative about your growth! The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.
Maybe its not always about trying to fix something broken. Maybe its about starting over and creating something better. Think about that today. What kind of life do you want to create for yourself?

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by understanding core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Recognition. What kind of recognition do you seek? I was once accused of being a blatant opportunist. Now, this wasn’t exactly the kind of recognition I was looking for, so I found it to be a bit of an insult. Recognition can go either way! Are you seeking awards and rewards?
Recognize this in yourself: Before you talk, listen. It may change what you say. Before you react, think. It may change the way you respond. Before you judge, wait. It may change your viewpoint. Before you quit, try! It may be the best thing you did.
Recognize values in yourself, before you ask others for recognition!
This has been Kelly’s Apple A Day –I hope that you’ll seek growth like an organism seeks maturity - now go out and be fruitful.

Welcome to Kelly’s Apple A Day – Sixty seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. This month, we’re seeking growth by understanding core values.
Today’s Core Value is: Relaxation. This should be a core value for everyone! Don’t just pay lip service to self-care, make a plan to do it - today! I hear this too often, “I don’t have time to take care of myself, I’m just too busy”. This plays into the victim mentality. If you don’t make time to relax and take care of yourself, you really will not be living your best life, and this is all you get. Make relaxation one of your core values!
Find a few moments of quiet each day. Do nothing. Be still. Let your mind unwind. You’d be amazed at how just a little bit of relaxation a day, will make your life much more rewarding!
This has been Kelly’s Apple A Day –I hope that you’ll seek growth like a plant seeks the sun - now go out and be fruitful.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to insanity! The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results! What is it that you continuously do but expect it to be different? Do you find yourself engaging in unhealthy relationships but expect this one to be different due to some rationalization that you’ve made? Do you keep going to the same place of business that just doesn’t align with your skills or desires and expect that it’ll be different each Monday morning when you begin a new week? Do you put yourself on a new fad diet plan or jump on the next ‘get rich quick’ program and think it’ll be successful this time?
Please! Say no to the insanity!
The first key to personal growth is the awareness that what you’ve been doings isn’t working. Awareness is the first step. Once you become aware, you will be able to move yourself into a season of positive growth by just saying no to insanity.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to clutter. Clutter is your collection of things that lie around and cause your space to look untidy. I know that I can’t live or work in clutter! It actually zaps my energy and creativity. It’s time to get your desk organized, clear out your closet, get rid of the broken toys, obsolete papers that have been stacking up, discarded clothes you don’t wear anymore. But also, clear out the old resentments and unsatisfying relationships. Declutter your life by weeding out and pruning back that which doesn’t serve a purpose. When you feel overwhelmed or unhappy, look at your surroundings. Get organized. Freshen up your personal space. If you haven’t touched something for six months, it might be time to just get rid of it! If you need to, hire a professional organizer to assist you with the project! Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project writes, “In the scope of a happy life, a messy desk or an overstuffed coat closet is a trivial thing, yet I find – and I hear from other people that they agree – that getting rid of clutter gives a disproportionate boost to happiness.”
Move yourself into a season of positive growth by just saying no to clutter.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to bad meetings. Choose the meetings that will enhance your business and professional growth. Some meetings just aren’t worth your time. Perhaps you can send a junior employee or other member of your staff or skip it altogether. I learned this early on in my career. In an effort to appear to ‘be everywhere’ so that people would know me, I allowed myself to be part of more meetings than were really necessary. Prune back the amount of bad meetings you agree to attend. Now, not all meetings are bad. As Tiger Woods said, “The amount of meetings I’ve been in – people would be shocked. But that’s how you can gain knowledge, being in meetings and participating. You learn and grow.”
What is important is to say no to bad meetings. Ones where they go round and round in circles and never accomplish anything and you’re left feeling like you just wasted hours of productive time. Know when to say yes, and when to say enough is enough!
Move yourself into a season of positive growth by just saying no to bad meetings.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to gossip. Gossip is when we allow ourselves to engage in conversations that leave you feeling bad about yourself or others. Have you ever been a victim of some gossip? These days, its tabloid fodder, social media and cyber bullying are one of the cruelest activities that humans can put upon each other. I know that I have been subjected to unfair gossip many times in my life, and it’s just plain mean, salacious and unfortunately a popular pastime. Musician and former Beatle
George Harrison said, “Gossip is the Devil’s radio.” It’s more than just idle chitchat. Remember what you learned when you were young, “if somebody gossips to you about somebody else, you can be certain that they’ll gossip about you as well.”
When you say no to gossip, you set yourself up for more personal and professional growth. Hearing gossip about people may seem fun and intriguing at the moment, but you can treat people in a kinder, gentler and more compassionate way. That’s how we grow.
Move yourself into a season of positive growth by just saying no to gossip.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to abusive people. Abuse comes in many forms, but they all have the same impact on us. Whatever sort of abusive relationship you might be engaged it, today is the day to allow yourself to become aware of it and to just say no more! Whether it’s verbal or mental abuse by your employer, or an emotionally abusive relationship with a partner or even parent, or perhaps you have an acquaintance that abuses your giving nature – be aware of how it makes you feel about yourself!
Abuse is the most negative, impulsive, addicting and contagious behavior, and sometimes an abuser isn’t even aware their behavior is such. People can be cruel, they’ll hurt you and break your heart. Stand up and say “No more abusive relationships”. Surround yourself with positive influences and people with warm hearts. Actor Michael J. Fox said, “One’s dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered.”
Move yourself into a season of positive growth by just saying no to abusive people.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to social pressure. Are you influenced by your peers? Are they able to persuade you to conform to their demands? Our social circle can often define us and create a sense of camaraderie – but it’s critical to associate with like-minded friends and colleagues or we might be in danger of being influenced in changing our beliefs or
behaviors in order to ‘fit in’. Kids fall into this trap all the time, and good parents are there to help guide them on the right path. But how about you? Do you fall for the kind of social pressure that causes you to rethink what you believe and feel? Are you constantly teased or criticized for doing what you believe?
Peer or social pressure at any age can cause us to question what we love, what we do, and how we behave. Nobody is immune to peer and social pressure, but it’s time to live your own life mission, have faith in your abilities and don’t let others pressure you into doing something that is a detour from your own integrity or mission! Social pressure is the easy way out of pursuing our own beliefs and will only cause you unintended grief! It begins when we’re young and without a concerted effort – you’ll continue to fall! So today, stand up straight and move
yourself into a season of positive growth by just saying no to social pressure.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to envy. Do you envy your friends lives; the cars they drive, the clothes they wear or the job that they have? No one is immune to envy! That’s why they call it the ‘green-eyed monster’! Envy is painful because it affects your emotions! When
envious feelings emerge, that means you are discontented with your own life and resentful for somebody else’s success, profession and belongings.
When you feel inferior to somebody else, there is a void in your life beyond measure!
The Buddha said, “Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.”
When you seek peace and wisdom, there is no room for envy. Personal and professional growth seekers need to say no to envy and practice gratitude and thanksgiving!
Envy won’t get you anywhere! It only prevents your personal and professional growth.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to an untimely death. I know, that sounds really scary, but the truth is, healthy habits are the best path toward prevention to disease. Smoking, drug abuse, poor eating habits, lack of exercise and skipping medical check –ups won’t help you live a long and healthy life. Heart disease is the leading killer of both men and women
and it can be prevented!
To say no to an untimely death, you must eat a healthy diet, move your body, get a good night’s sleep, reduce your stress, increase love, joy and laughter and stay positive!
Personal and professional growth occurs when you strive to take measures to care for yourself! If you are feeling overwhelmed, experience anxiety on a daily basis and constantly worry – you are putting too much stress on your mind, body and spirit! And that leads to illness – physically and emotionally!
Move yourself into a season of positive growth by just saying no to an untimely death!

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to phoniness!
We hear a lot in business and careers about being “authentic”. Many people claim that they are authentic in all that they do – and that should be what we all strive toward. When we say no to phoniness – we become genuine and real – sincere and honest. How many times have you had a conversation with someone and you just felt a sense of phoniness about them. I’ll bet it happens a lot!
Your team and closest friends will know too! Former Basketball player Larry Bird said, “Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you’re ready to play as tough as you’re able to, you’d better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony.”
Let people see the cracks in your life. Keep it real. Be so transparent and authentic that your team, your staff, your co-workers and associates will believe every word you say, and that you will give it your all.
Move yourself into a season of positive growth by just saying no to phoniness!

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to pride. Do you get a feeling of deep pleasure and satisfaction from your own achievements? It’s perfectly acceptable to have a sense of pride in your accomplishments, but say no to pride because it robs you of growth.
Proverbs 11:2 says, “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.”
There is a huge difference between ‘pride in your accomplishments’ and being ‘prideful’. Nobody likes a prideful person, who becomes a braggart. It’s a fine line, but be careful not to cross it!
Joyce Meyer says, “Pride is an independent, me-oriented spirit. It makes people arrogant, rude and hard to get along with. When our heart is prideful, we don’t give God the credit and we mistreat people, looking down on them and thinking we deserve what we have.”

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to stress! There are some startling statistics on stress in the workplace!
Job stress costs employers more than $200 Billion each year in absenteeism, tardiness, burnout, lower productivity, high turnover, workers’ compensation and medical insurance costs. An estimated 60% of all absenteeism from work is caused by stress.
Depression, a common problem among workers, costs the US $44 Billion per year in lost productivity, creating even more stress. Let’s make a list of things that cause stress in your life and resolve how you can reduce them by setting boundaries, identifying what is important and what isn’t, learning to let go of the stressors and practice self- care. Stress reduction will improve your health, your relationships and your business! Get of that ledge, slow down; understand that not everything is an emergency! Slow your thoughts, take a deep breath and know that you are doing yourself a favor by putting less pressure on yourself when you stop and appreciate the moment! Move yourself into a season of positive growth by just saying no to stress!

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to being negative! Whether it is negative thinking or negative talk – it always results in negative results, and that stunts your growth! Negative thinking is the biggest denominator in preventing personal and professional growth, business growth and overall happiness. We all are subject to negative thoughts.
Joel Osteen says, “When the negative thoughts come – and they will; they come to all of us – it’s not enough to just dwell on it… You’ve got to replace it with a positive thought.”
Negative thoughts are the bad seeds that are planting in our hearts and minds, but a good gardener weeds out the bad seeds to make room for growth with the positive ones. Start weeding out your negative thoughts and negative talk by replacing them with positive ones. It takes practice and a lot of tending to break the negative habit, so when you are aware that negative thoughts are influencing
your mind, immediately challenge it, replace it with a positive one and move yourself into a season of positive growth by just saying no to being negative.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to running from your problems! This is a powerful message, as many people believe that if they ignore a problem, it’ll go away. I work with clients who oftentimes feel that leaving a bad situation is better than facing it and dealing with it. Maybe your work environment is stressful and you feel like you’re being treated poorly. Or perhaps it’s your marriage or family life that has unsurmountable problems. The “fight or flight” urge is a strong hormonal reaction
to stress and anxiety. There are times where fighting or staying is the best approach to a struggle. Now, I’m not advocating fist fights; no! What I do advocate is to learn how to communicate your needs; gain coping and negotiation skills to encourage resolutions to problems; face your problems and stop running away from them! Remember the quote, “Wherever you go, there you are”. Your problems follow you, so move yourself into a season of positive growth by just saying no to running from your problems!

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to making excuses.
What excuse did you make yesterday or today and what excuse will you make tomorrow for not doing what it is you want to do? Whether it’s eating healthy and getting to your workout, or getting that project or task started or completed – people make excuses all the time! Once you make the excuse, you open yourself up for the personal failure that you really don’t want. “My dog ate my homework” is an excuse that many joke about. We are all full of excuses as to why we didn’t do x, y, or z. If you really want to do something, you’ll just do it – no excuses. If you find yourself making excuses again and again, it might be possible that you really don’t want to do whatever it is that you’re making excuses about. Relationships, work, career moves, being on time, or losing weight – what is your excuse today for not doing it?
Robert Shuller says, “Negative thinking is subtle and deceptive. It wears many faces and hides behind the mask of excuses. It is important to strip away the mask and discover the real, root emotion”.
Move yourself into a season of positive growth by just saying no to making excuses.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to ignoring your mission. When I work with coaching clients, I help them create a personal mission statement. It helps establish what is important in your life, identify past successes and core values, goals and contributions. A personal mission statement is fundamental for growth and helps build you up professionally. Once you know what your mission is, you begin your journey of growth and will begin to reap the benefits of achieving even more success. But there are crises and events that come up that cause us to detour or even quit the path we’re on. When you find yourself veering off your personal mission, recognize that you’ve gotten off course and get yourself back on it! Balancing your personal and professional life is not easy to do, that’s why a mission statement can help keep you sane!
Let me help you create your own mission statement for your life and move yourself into a season of positive growth by just saying no to ignoring your mission.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to lowering your standards of integrity.
Be honest; do you sometimes feel that your job requires you to lower your standards of moral and ethical principles? I can remember some days when I was selling radio advertising that in order to get a sale, I had to lower my personal standards. We often feel this way about used car salesmen. Where are the moral and ethical principles?
You can raise the level of expectation in business by saying no to lowering your standards of integrity which leads to trust. Demonstrate integrity by communicating frequently to remove doubts; be transparent and disciplined; keep your promises and show up on time, every time; fix problems rather than blame others; and insist on honesty from others.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to the need to be right. How many times have you found that your need to be right all the time actually becomes a block for you? The need to be right will prevent you from healthy relationships, fresh ideas and personal growth. Sure, your ideas are probably very good, but that need to be right all the time prevents you from listening, being present and gaining new insights which can be helpful!
The need to be right all the time is really an indicator that one is afraid. Afraid to hear what somebody else has to say, for fear of being wrong or losing their credibility. Successful people listen to ideas and allow others to provide input. There is actually a lot of freedom in not having to be right all the time! It allows you to stop the war you have with others. When you ask for help, ask for guidance, seek answers – you give yourself and others permission to have a genuine dialogue. And, great things happen when people work together. Nobody
likes a know-it-all!

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to not appreciating the present moment. This is what it means to be ‘mindful’. Wayne Dyer says, “You’ll seldom experience regret for anything that you’ve done. It is what you haven’t done that will torment you. The message, therefore is clear. Do it! Develop an appreciation for the present moment. Seize every second of your life and savor it. Value your present moments. Using them up in any self-
defeating ways means you’ve lost them forever.” Powerful words! I love to teach the importance of mindfulness.
As Eckhart Tolle wrote: “Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry – all forms of fear – are caused by too much future and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by too much past, not enough presence.”

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no”to procrastination.
I have known many people who wear the badge of procrastination as if it were a permanent fixture in their personal makeup. As a coach and psychotherapist, I motivate my clients into taking action right now. There is no time like the present.
Consider this – if you were to start today on that project, career move, goal – look forward and visualize where you would be a year from now.
“Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone”. ~ Pablo Picasso.
What is it that you procrastinate? In business, procrastinating what might be an easy job only makes it harder. Procrastinating your weight loss won’t help you get to your best self, and neither will having that conversation that really needs to be had make that relationship any better.
Today is the day! Carpe Diem – Seize THIS day and don’t put it off!

I don’t even want to count how many times I have failed! There are some failures in my life that I don’t want to discuss or share all the time, but one thing I have learned is that falling down doesn’t make me a failure. Staying down does. And I have never allowed myself to stay down for long. Failure is good! It means you are trying!
Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.
“It’s failure that gives you the proper perspective on success.” - Ellen DeGeneres

Donatella Versace said, “It’s no good being too easily swayed by people’s opinions. You have to believe in yourself.”

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to choosing to do nothing! There are times when we feel like we are ‘nothing’. Well, the way to be nothing, is to do nothing. If you are taking small and intentional steps each and every day to improve your life, learn and grow – that that is something! It’s when you do nothing, that you feel overwhelmed and powerless. When you become involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better.
And remember that saying about “Too much analysis causes paralysis?” If you choose to do nothing, you’ll actually feel more exhausted with the weighing and pondering.
Gandhi said, “You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result.”
Act. Do. Choose your destiny.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to letting others dictate our lives. Do you allow others to put words in your mouth or assume that they know how you think, feel and are going to respond? Do you let others dictate your level of happiness, success and worth?
Does society determine how you view the world and yourself?
Clearly, there are laws, rules, social norms and culture that dictate certain aspects of our lives in business and at home – but you can live your life in a way that doesn’t permit someone from dictating how you think, feel and behave.
You can’t be all things to all people, so say no to trying to please everyone. Take a stand and forge your own path. People will respect you for it. Ground yourself in your own positive path, and you’ll find that there are more people that are just like you when you stop trying to please people who want to dictate what your life should be.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to fear. What do you fear the most? Fear of rejection? Fear of success? Poverty, homelessness, failure? Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real. In his inaugural address, President Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.”
The Bible offers a beautiful message on fear, found in Luke chapter 12, verses 22 through 24: “…Do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!”
How do you overcome and say no to fear? Embrace it. Challenge it. Seek that which you fear most and you will overcome it!

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to busy-ness. Ever feel like you're overwhelmingly busy? Of course you have. We all do. But chances are, you might not be as busy as you think—and knowing this simple fact can reduce a lot of stress. I found this blog on “Life Hacker” , and it really made an impact on some of my clients. We live in a cult of busy. And
chances are, you're not actually as busy as you think.
I’m not going to tell you to meditate, or take more vacations, or breathe, or walk in nature, or do anything that will invariably feel like just another item on the to- do list. The answer to feeling oppressively busy, is to stop telling yourself that you're oppressively busy, because the truth is that we are all much less busy than we think we are.
Try logging your time every day for a week, or a month and see what kind of holes appear. That will help you understand that you aren’t really busy all the time and you can stop complaining that you are just too busy! Drop the cult of busy-ness and move yourself into a season of positive growth by just saying no to it!

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to being a slave to work! I was enjoying a nice Friday evening with a friend and she shared with me that she had been invited to two separate business events recently, and usually would attend them because she believed that her career and business success required her to go. She admitted that business had improved
with all of her hard work and efforts and she realized that not only did she need an evening off – she had earned it.
I couldn’t help but congratulate her on celebrating her success by saying ‘no’ to being a slave to her work.
You have a right to say no to being a slave to your work. In our wired world, trends have shown that people work anywhere, anytime. Emails are answered in the middle of the night, work is done on days off or even on vacation!
You do not need to be constantly working!

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to being a victim! It’s time for you to break free from that victim mentality!
American Author John W. Gardner wrote, “Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the nonpharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality.”
I often see a lot of ‘victimization’ when working with clients. The need to blame others for our lives not working; feeling as though we have no choice about the direction our life has taken; allowing someone else to bully us into feeling as though we are powerless.
It’s time for you to just say NO to being a so-called victim. Stop allowing other people or circumstances have your power. Nobody is that powerful!
Say no to that victim mentality by:
- Giving yourself a break
- Practicing Gratitude
- Accepting what “is”
- Taking responsibility for your own life
Move yourself into a season of positive growth by just saying no to being a victim!

What kind of memories are you making today? If all we have is today, then memories are the foundation of what we are building upon. It isn’t easy to erase bad memories, but we can certainly make a habit to create new and happy memories, starting today.
How can you go about creating a happy memory? Take a photo with a friend, that’s pretty easy to do these days. Have a conversation about nothing but a good time you had. Write yourself a note about a happy time. Or do something silly and spontaneous like taking the day off and heading to the happiest place on Earth. Remember what Walt Disney said, “All our dreams can come true – if we have the courage to pursue them.”
Pursue your dreams and while you’re at it, make a habit of creating memories!

“Truth never damages a cause that is just.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
They say that the truth sets you free, and that is really… well, the truth! When you tell the truth, you give yourself freedom and permission to be authentic, real, genuine, and yes, sometimes vulnerable. But, if it is just, it won’t be damaged.
Barbara De Angelis wrote, “Living with integrity means: Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe.”
Make a habit to tell the truth today.

I’m always encouraging my clients, readers and now listeners to “break out of your comfort zone!” It is all too easy to put ourselves in a box; or a category and believe that we are “stuck” there. I’m living proof that that is simply not true! Make a habit of breaking out of your comfort zone every day. Small steps are key. Sure, you can take a big leap too, those are really scary. Just keep all of your efforts in perspective. If you want weight loss or more control over your health, break that comfort zone and just buy a pair of sneakers and take a walk around the block. Just begin. If you want to jump out of an airplane, well – that’s a different story, there is no small steps to take to reach that leap of faith, but you can go sign up for the opportunity! Don’t say, “I wish I could do that, or I want to do that someday”. What’s stopping you from breaking out of your comfort zone right now? Don’t hope something will happen someday. Make a habit of making it happen every day! And remember, "Hope sees the invisible, feeds the intangible and achieves the impossible.” ~ Author Unknown

Make a habit of finding balance. Stop; close your eyes and just listen to your breath fill up your lungs and then exhale. When you do this for thirty seconds, it provides for an emotionally calming reaction in your body. Remember trying to balance a ball, or balance yourself in the water by floating, or balancing on a
beam in grade school? You have to stop the outside world and focus on your internal mind and body to get that balance. That is how you will find it in “life” as well. Stop for a moment and steady yourself. And, then make a habit to write down the calming thoughts that come to mind.
“By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands — your own.”–Mark Victor Hansen
Make a habit of finding balance by getting enough sleep, exercise, and eating healthy. And then, relax.

What kind of role model are you? When you make a habit of being a good role model, to your kids, your business colleagues, your friends and family – you are helping to create a more successful environment, even for yourself.
It is in our human nature to seek and look up to heroes. When you are a positive role model, you become a hero to many. But, make it a habit without seeking accolades. Become a positive role model for the mere purpose of helping others grow in wisdom, success and personal growth.
A role model doesn’t just pay flattery to others, they practice what they preach!
So, what kind of role model will you make a habit of being?
George Orwell once said, “High sentiments always win in the end. The leaders who offer blood, toil, tears and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.”

Haven’t we all made mistakes? I know that I make them daily, and I’m sure that you do too. I don’t beat myself up over them though. I look at my mistakes as an opportunity to grow. Sometimes, it’s as simple a mistake as sending out an email that might have a typo! Oops! Some mistakes are huge! Sometimes, I even forget people’s names and make the mistake of calling them by the wrong one! Now, that’s embarrassing! I learn from my mistakes. From the minute, to mundane, to the monumental mistakes, it’s all part of the learning….. and growth process.
Make it a habit to learn from your mistakes. Whether you’ve made a mistake on the job or in your personal life, it’s important to remember to not take yourself so seriously. Allow yourself room for mistakes and missteps. It’s part of being human. If you can just learn to own the mistake, look at it as part of your personal learning curve and then set it aside, you’ll discover that those mistakes
made are not detrimental, but actually helpful to your professional and personal growth. Starting today, forget what is gone, appreciate what still remains, and look forward to what is coming next.

I’ve said this before, and I can’t say it enough. We all want to have friends. “One way to have a good friend, is to be a good friend.” Are you a good friend? What constitutes “friendship” to you, and how can you develop a habit of being a good friend? Does friendship mean somebody to do things with, or somebody to talk to about your most personal matters? Is friendship based on mutual respect, common ideas and interests?
Do you have any idea what being a good friend looks like?
“A friend is someone who can see the truth and pain in you even when you are fooling everyone else.” ~ Author Unknown
How many times have you gone out to a business function or meeting, or attended a party and felt like you had to “put on an act” just to get through the occasion. Was there somebody there who could see through your mask? That’s a friend.
Make a habit of being a good friend, and you’ll find you have more than you could possibly need!

How often do we hear, “Let’s keep in touch”, and then never follow through?! Make a habit to keep in touch. And thanks to social media, we can do it fairly easily today! But, do your best to make a habit to send that text; actually make that phone call or send your promised email. ‘Like” or “share” something or make a comment on Facebook, Twitter or any other favorite social media, to an individual, not a general status update. Have we lost our ability to truly stay connected human to human?
Give a hug; a smile; connect with somebody. I know you’re busy, but connecting has health benefits and boosts your mood!
And, when someone does it for you, respond. Don’t just simply say, “let’s keep in touch”. Make keeping in touch a habitual activity, not just for today, but every day. It’ll build your personal and professional connections and foster’s growth!

Setting a goal is futile if you’re not going to do the work to reach it. I teach about smart goal setting and making them realistic. Make a habit to challenge yourself every day. Two more phone calls, one more dollar in a savings account, or one less cup of coffee (that’s a huge challenge for me), or one less angry word. When you accomplish the small challenges, then you can start with habits to make bigger challenges, like higher education, or saving more money. “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe.” the French poet and journalist Anatole France, said that. And, William J. Bennett in The Book of Virtues wrote, “Give yourself an even greater challenge than the one you are trying to master and you will develop the powers necessary to overcome the original difficulty.”–
Nibble on that challenge today!

What? Me worry? Calvin Coolidge so wisely said, “Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”
Make a habit to be persistent, and stop worrying so much about what happened yesterday or what might happen tomorrow.
Worry gets you nowhere fast, and you’ll have nothing to show for it. When I find myself worrying about a problem, a situation, or an issue, I take a break from whatever I am doing and think about all of the things that can go right. I press on.
Make a habit to just stop worrying so much. Things have a way of working out in your best interest anyway!

What is your most prized possession? Is it your house? Perhaps your new car? Is it a piece of jewelry handed down for generations? Is your most valuable asset what is in your bank account? What is your legacy?
According to Billy Graham, “The greatest legacy one can pass on to one's children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one's life, but rather a legacy of character and faith.”
Today, make a habit to value people over things. We all know we can’t take our stuff with us when we go, and what you leave behind will probably be fought over anyway. I’ve seen that happen countless times.
Make the habit of placing value on the people in your life. How they remember you will be much more valuable than any object you will ever leave behind.
Maya Angelou said, “Somehow, we have come to the erroneous belief that we are all but flesh, blood, and bones, and that's all. So we direct our values to material things.”

Have you lost weight?
Everybody likes a compliment. Mark Twain believed, “I can live for two months on a good compliment.”
I know that when I receive compliments, it sets the tone of my day and I too can live off of just one compliment! Try feeding someone something so nutritious by paying them a well-deserved compliment. Make it a daily habit to compliment one person every day! It’ll have a mutual benefit for you too, they’ll remember that you honored them by noticing and then commenting on something positive.
Sharing a compliment should be a habit to practice today!

What does it mean to you if I told you to make a habit to accept responsibility? We talk about who is responsible for job tasks, or chores at home, or just being a “responsible citizen”, but what does it mean to you, to “accept responsibility”, and make it a habit?
My take on that is that I accept responsibility for my feelings, my behaviors, my attitudes and my actions. They may not always be “right”, or “perfect”, but I accept responsibility for them!
I usually try to find the good in most situations, but I occasionally feel the stress and pressures of everyday life. I take responsibility for my failures, my mistakes, my successes and my attitude.
Just think, “If we do not feel grateful for what already have, what makes us think we’d be happy with more?”

When you make a habit of putting yourself in somebody else’s shoes, you are practicing empathy. Empathy is not sympathy.
Placing yourself in somebody else’s shoes doesn’t show that you are weak, on the contrary, it takes a very brave and wise person to seek to understand others, especially when they are in conflict. Alfred Adler said, empathy means: "seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another."
Make a habit to show empathy for others, it’ll create a chain reaction of peace, understanding and wisdom that only one with an empathetic heart can acquire.
And according to the Dalai Lama about compassion: “Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.”

If you want to change your world, then you must be that change you want to see. Part of that journey means that you need to listen to your heart. I engage my clients in visualizing where they see their lives a year from now. The chatter in our heads, through advice, friends, counsel, wants and desires or obligation can cause us to be in our heads, and not our hearts. Change your thoughts, and you’ll change your behavior. But, before you can change your thoughts, you have to listen to them. Make a habit of listening. Observe. Listen some more. Make it a habit to listen to your body, listen to your heart, listen to your spirit. That is where true growth is going to start. Awareness is the first step toward growth.
“Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.”--Hal Borland

Do you trust others? Do you trust enough to share with them? Albert Einstein said, “Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.” Sharing isn’t just meant for Facebook! Share your thoughts, feelings and opinions with others in meetings, in social gatherings, in relationships and in person. Connecting, trusting your thoughts and feelings with others is a vital part of our personal growth. Sharing your business ideas and concepts is part of your professional growth. When you make a habit to trust others and share your needs, it will help them understand what your needs are, who you are and how they can help. If you find that you just don’t feel like you can share, then maybe its time for you to speak to a professional who can help you with that!
It’s okay to trust, but be smart. Remember what Ronald Reagan said, “Trust, but verify.” Make a habit to trust and share with others!

When we’re young, we think we are invincible! Remember the first time you accomplished something and you were rewarded with praise that you “did it all by yourself”! Then, we got into the habit of believing that the only way to truly achieve something great is to do it on our own! WRONG!
Make a habit of asking for help! Think about the song “Help” by the Beatles. I’d give you the lyrics, but I’d be violating copyright laws, and then I’d be asking you for help to bail me out! But the premise is that when we’re younger, we don’t think that we need any help. As we age, we realize that we need people to help us feel secure, help us with our goals, help us with projects. Whatever you need, make a habit to ask for help! Something will grow from what you are going through, and it will be YOU. And don’t quit, because “Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.” As Vince Lombardi so wisely said!

As I travel and see orchards along the highway, I occasionally see a dead tree within an orchard and can’t help but wonder how it is perceived by passersby. Does it look out of place? Will it be replaced soon with a seedling? Does that one dead tree ruin the entire orchard and rot all the fruits? The tree will eventually be replaced by another, and the other trees within the orchard are not harmed at all. In fact, when a tree dies, it is pruned and harvested and a new tree might be planted in its place. Occasionally things in our lives die off. Whether it’s a relationship, a career, a dream or a goal or an achievement we sought, there are just things beyond our control. Although we cannot replace people in our lives that we have lost, we can be open to meeting new ones, and establishing new relationships, we can build new careers, jobs and dream new dreams.
Here are wise words from Diane Dew, Kindgom Fruitfulness: – “Spiritual growth is a gradual process, and it takes time. There can be no fruit until adequate growth has taken place within the plant itself. A long time passes from the time that seed was first sown into the ground to when the fruit appears. Seeds themselves do not bear fruit but they can become fruit-bearing trees if received into the right environment and given time to grow.”

What season are you in? You are in a season, whichever one it is: spring, summer, fall, or winter. The one thing you can count on… It’s going to change. When we talk about our seasons of life, we often consider your youth is the springtime, our 20s and 30s are probably the summer, and in our 50s and 60s that’s the fall, and our latter years are the winter of our life. Okay. That’s a good analogy. I like to say that we go through many seasons of our lives. You may have many spring times; a time to reinvent, time to start over, time to plant new seeds for growth. You have many summers of your life, a time to grow naturally, time to focus on your strengths, time to take action or just relax. You have many times where it’s the fall of your life, we’re counting our blessings and reaping the fruits of all our hard work. And you’ll have many times where it’s the winter season, when we have to cut back the old and withered parts of our life off and start, prune back some of our expectations and start again. Change is inevitable. Whatever season you are in right now, it will change. “Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it’s holy ground. There’s no greater investment.”–Stephen Covey
