You are ENOUGH

You have everything you need inside of you already to go after what you want. You are capable and always have been.

What you don’t know, you can figure out along the way and learn as you go.

All you need to do is start. And that’s one of the hardest parts.

Know that if you don’t believe in you, I believe in you.

I want everyone to win. And that includes you, whether I know you really well or not.

In my work, I get the opportunity to help people remember who they are, decide what they want and then go after it strategically.

Because life, like business, prospers more when there is a plan.

So, start.

Your time is NOW.

Because you actually do have everything you need inside of you already and that is…a desire of something more.

Let that desire propel you forward.

Live your life with Purpose, be YOU.

Here’s why commitment matters to me…

One of the most valuable things that I feel that I can show and teach my girls is the importance of COMMITMENT and DAILY DEDICATED EFFORT.

I spend my days showing and teaching them this because I feel that is the best way to create success and the life that you truly want.

I know that…

It is because I was committed to my health that I have recovered to this point (nothing about the protocol was easy to begin with).

It was because I was committed to put the book out that I made it happen (my brain wanted to fight what I felt called to do on a daily basis but I committed and now it is making an impact in the world).

It was because I was committed to create the life that I truly want that we found this home on the acreage (it took me almost a year of looking and traveling to make this happen for us).

A high level of COMMITMENT CREATES the best chance possible for SUCCESS.

My oldest understood commitment when she danced at a high level and she is now understanding commitment and dedicated effort in an even bigger way in her first year of Engineering.

My youngest is realizing that committed effort is enabling her to move up in rank in her gymnastics program quicker that had been expected.

My red-headed girly has already shown that commitment can conquer anything. She, at age 10, has already committed hours of clay work through the Ron Davis Method to create an easier solution to reading and math because her dyslexia and dyscalculia. In fact, the teachers didn’t even know this year.

There is something that you want.

How COMMITTED are you on a daily basis to taking the action required to make it happen?

Are you willing to do whatever it takes?

Are you willing to say NO so that you can say YES to what you truly want?

Are you modelling commitment to your children, your team and those closest to you?

Commitment creates success.

If things aren’t happen as fast as you want or not happening at all, you have a commitment issue.

Get committed to doing whatever it takes on a daily basis. Your health, your relationships, your work and your life will radically change when you do.

It likely won’t feel easy but it will be worth it.

Live your life with purpose, be YOU.

Do you have a song?

This song carried me through the hardest days after my baby died…

When I look at the lyrics, I’m not certain it was all of them or more just the “its’a great day to be alive” part and the music that spoke to my heart. The song is by Travis Tritt (yep, I’m a country girl) and it would magically appear on the radio just when I needed some hope and trust that I could walk through the loss of my baby.

It made me focus on what was GREAT about the day, APPRECIATE what I did have, and be GRATEFUL for what lay before me as possibility.

We all need this kind of faith and trust when we are going through those tougher days or those big life crises.

I recorded a podcast about the song and it’s impact on my life that I would love for you to listen to. It’s actually the first time that I have shared how this song carried me through some of my darkest hours.

Episode 141: It’s a Great Day to BE Alive

I am excited to announce to you that my book When the Meaning is Lost is available now. Click here to buy the book.

The book is about my journey through the void, grief and living fully once again after the loss of my baby, a divorce, my health and walking my daughter through the loss of her best friend. I share what I have learned from my experiences about living and recreating meaning again when something significant happens in your life that changes everything.

The reviews of the book have been all that I could have hoped for thus far and I am so grateful for them and the impact the book is already making. I wanted to share a few of them with you here:

“Jill’s book is heartfelt, powerful, & shared from the soul. She details some of her most personal life experiences & incredible losses in such a way that you cannot help being profoundly moved. Her life’s painful losses and incredible challenges are detailed along with her overwhelming will and determination to always find a way to RISE again by seeking out and creating meaning in them all. This book will have you in awe of her abilities as an incredible woman, mother, wife, businesswoman, and beautiful friend to find the strength & look for the meaningful reasons to continue to lift ourselves out of the voids we experience. This is a must read. You will feel her pain and revel in her triumphant outlooks. Moving. Inspiring. Meaningful. She teaches us that our souls can be crushed in life and it will change us but we will be recreated and walk through the fires, emerging a stronger and more refined version of ourselves.”

“Everyone at some moment in their life will experience a loss, a job, a relationship, or the death of a loved one. Half memoir, half self-help, “When the Meaning is Lost” by Jill Ethier is a must read for anyone who has experienced grief in any form. Jill shows true and triumphant courage as she explores and dissects the tragic losses she has experienced. She shares her raw truth with a genuine passion to help others move through their grief to a place that blooms with growth, grace, and freedom.”

“What a Journey for Jill! I was worried I didn’t have time to read it….and I sat down to start and never put it down. You will cry, you will feel acknowledged, you will heal. I felt so encouraged after reading Herstory to keep moving forward in my life no matter what. I felt heard, seen & acknowledged through Her journey for mine….I hope she will have a book club group so we can all hang out and discuss! Thank you Jill for baring your soul and helping us collectively as women acknowledge and move through life’s hardships and pain. I SEE YOU and through that reflection I SEE ME clearer”

What’s your WHY?

Knowing WHY you want something different in any area of your life (in your relationships, with your work, for your health and in your personal growth) is the ONE THING that will keep you going when you want to quit.

And you will want to quit at some point.

At some point, the work won’t be fun, there will be so many things to overcome that it will feel hard to continue and the way won’t always be totally clear.

Your reason WHY, the deep reason WHY you want to shift your life will keep you going, keep you focused and create the pull needed to not stop.

Want to know how to figure out your reason WHY?

Listen in to Episode 136: Choosing your WHY of Ninja Jill KNOWS.

Your reason why is the vital component in fulfilling your purpose, following the call of your soul and creating more of the life that you want.

Do you KNOW yours?

Is it clear?

If not listen in and share this with anyone you know that needs to figure theirs out too and if you need a little extra help, check out this worksheet to help you determine your why. Click here for the free worksheet.

It’s easy to be hard on yourself

Being kind to you is hard.

It’s easy to see the negative in the situation. Focusing on and learning the lesson can be hard.

It’s easy to blame everyone else for the issues in your life. It’s hard to take full responsibility for the state of your life.

It’s easy to quit. It’s hard to stop stopping.

It’s easy to put it off, make a bunch of excuses and stay in your comfort zone. It’s hard to take the leap, keep doing the work even when you don’t want to and get comfortable being uncomfortable.

You can choose easy but it will be hard to actually achieve your dreams, desires and goals.

OR

You can choose hard and with it, strengthen your mindset and realize that the capacity and personal growth that happens when it’s hard actually helps you achieve your dreams, desires and goals.

Are you choosing easy or are you willing to expand and grow and live the life you truly want?

And remember, it’s only “hard” if you believe it be.
