Grow in new experiences

What does your next adventure entail?  Will you be travelling to some unknown destination....learning a new language....starting a new business.....taking a chance on a new relationship?  What's tugging at you....begging to be expressed.....Why are you allowing fear of the unknown to deprive you of experiences that will awaken your life entirely?

You owe it to yourself to embrace every experience that lends itself to your imagination....shows up in an encounter....and you should feel grateful that you still have time to create memories and perhaps leave a legacy and experience for others.

Don't just marinate in the limited world of your familiarity.  Strike out and embrace new experiences. Stay curious about new things....greater possibilities....the unknown.  Once you've let go of fear in any area....your spirit will refuse to let you rest in the mediocrity of limited familiarity.

Wake Up...Stretch Yourself...New Experiences Await You!

Stretch yourself....

Remain uncomfortable with fitting into the status quo.......Continue to stretch yourself.  Learn a new skill, a new language....Eat at a new restaurant....take a new route to work.  Visit a new city, state, country.....Learn about cultures outside of your own.  Stretch yourself.....remain uncomfortable and Grow in the process.

A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.

— Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Just a little more

Puuuuush.....'just a little more' is all that's needed.
A little more determination, faith and love is what puts you over the top and takes you to another level in your career, life and relationships.

What sets you apart and separates you from average or mediocre is that "extra" step.......'Just a Little More' of whatever everyone else is doing.  The second wind is what the runner is fueled by to take him/her to the finish line and the extra phone call, push-up, waking up earlier, eating one less of whatever you indulge in that's no so good for you, drinking one less cup of coffee, puffing one less cigarette.....the list goes on and on and only you know what one less or 'just a little more' means in your life for you to meet or surpass a goal you've set.

So go ahead: think and reach higher and dream, push, plan and act intentionally and push 'Just a Little More' and go a bit farther.....the extra mile takes you over the top and ahead of the crowd....to the finish line....You Got This!

Your opinion of your life should matter to you...

How often are you handing over the delicate decisions for your life to someone else?
We often given permission without realizing we're releasing that level of power and control in our lives.
We often allow people whom we 'perceive' to know what's best for us (at the time) to make decisions for us, simply because we never disagree, raise our hands or offer suggestions within the confines of environments where we actually 'have a voice'.

So...again: How often are you handing over the delicate decisions for your life to someone else?
It's your life....you should have a voice....Your voice....and it should be heard, if no one else decides to listen except You.  Speak up...speak out and Take control of the driver's seat in your life.

Whose opinion matters: Yours!

Living a harmonious life

...flower from my backyard

Each individual composes the music of his own life. If he injures another, he brings disharmony. When his sphere is disturbed, he is disturbed himself, and there is a discord in the melody of his life. If he can quicken the feeling of another to joy or to gratitude, by that much he adds to his own life; he becomes himself by that much more alive. Whether conscious of it or not, his thought is affected for the better by the joy or gratitude of another, and his power and vitality increase thereby, and the music of his life grows more in harmony. (BoS) 

Beauty of a new day

 

With each new sunrise, an invitation awaits for us to discover the vast beauty that surrounds us all.  Allow each day to be an adventure of opening your heart and allowing the light to flow through. There are new places, faces and spaces that have been unexplored, unrecognized.....ignored.

Stay in the present moment of what life is extending....Don't clog your mind with thoughts of yesterday and cause anxiety contemplating tomorrow.  Don't miss the miracles on the path of today's journey.  Make this very present moment count.....create a memory that may sustain you when life tosses you circumstances that will test your resilience.

All things are new with each sunrise.....a blank slate....a clean canvas.  How are you painting the scenes of your life.....What colors are you adding.....what adventures can be added to the pages of the story of your life?  Is it all the same.....how does it change....Keep it Alive...Make it Adventurous....Keep it True...Make it Beautiful!
