"If you wait until you can do everything for everybody, instead of something for somebody, you’ll end up doing nothing for nobody." Malcom Bane Are YOU ready to bring your message into the world? Most of us put on hold what it is that we want until we can do it "perfectly" or we are in the perfect situation. And then.. Taa-daa! Perfect. Never. Happens. Will YOU give yourself permission to get out there now - ready or not? Obviously, in order to bring your message into the world, preparation is needed. There are several steps one should go through. However, before you take these steps, it is essential to turn off all the critical voices playing in your head. Once those voices are silenced, give yourself permission to begin. Go here to see how you can do just that. "I've learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances. Martha Washington You can count on change. It happens no matter how carefully you plan. The truth is, you have little control over what happens in life. However, what you do have control over is your ATTITUDE. No matter what life throws at you, you have the choice as to how you will view the circumstance you find yourself in. Smile and the world smiles with you. Cry and the world cries with you! By having a positive attitude, you will move from “woe is me“ to an attitude of,: “Ok, this is not what I planned, but I will face the situation and discover ways to move forward towards my goals.” It is important to remember that there is nothing that you cannot handle once your accept what is happening. Instead of using your energy to fight a situation, accept it. A positive attitude can enable you to take a chance to do things differently than what you initially planned and to continue on your path while designing whatever it is you want. Join the conversation: tell us about a time when change occurred and you faced it with a positive attitude. And once faced, did it enable you to create something even better than you had originally planned? "Learn from the past but don’t dwell on it; it is, after all, impossible to change." – William Irvine It is easy to get caught in the past, however it is not useful. This is true for all past life events - the good as well as the bad. If we are not careful, we can easily get stuck in the past and/or the future. DON’T do it! What we need to do is to focus on is our present life, the life we are living and creating TODAY. To maintain focus on the present is challenging but doing so makes for a life that will add up at the finish line. Tell me, If YOU knew that today was to be your last day, what would be your top priorities? I imagine one big priority is that you would have the courage and daring to live the life you have always wanted. “Confidence, like art, never comes from having all the answers; it comes from being open to all the questions.” Earl Gray Stevens We bet you have lots of questions. We all do! Anyone looking to design the life they want does. And if you are like us, you want your answers fast.. It is not that your answers won’t eventually show up, just be patient . . . In the meantime, you will fearlessly continue on your journey to discover what you want in your life. More importantly, you must take the steps necessary to make that happen. Trust us, it can happen if you commit. You will need to be daring, to feel resilience, confidence and courage. There will probably be failures and mistakes along the way, but none that you cannot learn from. |
