Inspiring storyteller, writer and speaker, Dr. Nina Kelly shares a personal challenge to illustrate the importance of repeatedly keeping thoughts focused on where you want to go despite frustrations or apparent setbacks.

New Orleans, LA – June 3, 2019 – Dr. Nina M. Kelly, Inspirational Storyteller, Coach, Author and Co-Author of The Big Question with Larry King, and Success Mastery and Success Breakthroughs with Jack Canfield, recently posted a new blog on her website entitled, “Keeping Thoughts Centered On New Beginnings,” in which Dr. Kelly shares a personal challenge and how she stays focused.

Dr. Kelly writes, “May is one of my favorite months of the year.” She continues adding, “It’s typically not as volatile, weather-wise as April and the temperatures are still mild. As we make the transition from spring to summer, my thoughts often turn to new beginnings. It’s the beginning of a new growing season for gardeners. It’s the beginning of long, lazy summer days. For college graduates, it’s the beginning of new careers and stepping onto the path of the unknown future. This is always an exciting time.”

According to Dr.Kelly, “I am thinking about new beginnings more than ever this year since my home was flooded and I had to move out, lock, stock and barrel!” She states, “I’ve been living in transition for the past 3 months and I am doing my best to keep my thoughts on the excitement of moving back into a fresh and dry home.” Dr. Kelly admits, “It isn’t always an easy task to stay focused on what we want to happen when things don’t go as smoothly or quickly as we’d like. And, when things don’t happen as we think they should, frustration can cause us to lose focus.”
