Happy Thanksgiving

May you cherish each day.... Recognize everyday blessings- big and small. Embrace an attitude of gratitude as a way of life.  Happy Thanksgiving!

Bury the noise in your head

Silence the voice that
tells you "you can't"
Quiet the noise that
says: "don't try"
Stifle the sounds that
remind you to give up
Bury the noice
in your head.

Have you noticed that you can be your worst enemy at times?  It's not about the circumstances or present situations we tend to find ourselves in, but the noise that we continue to tune into in our own heads.  It's not the voices of the naysayers, doubters, criticizers and the haters....but us buying into their messages and continuing to replay the doubt in our heads.

There really shouldn't be an enemy on the outside who is capable of distracting/discouraging/stopping/limiting/attempting to derail you from achieving the goals that you've set and envisioned for yourself.  Your story begins and ends with the courage that you'll muster up to take the necessary steps for walking the road of your own journey and pressing daily into whatever shows up on the road.  Change that tune in your head, believe in the dream, the vision....the goal.

...Believe in YOU and:

Silence the voice that
tells you "you can't"
Quiet the noise that
says: "don't try"
Stifle the sounds that
remind you to give up
Bury the noise
in your head.

Prioritize your time

Wow......Where did all the time go?  We'er entering into the autumn season and it seems like spring just got started.....like we just celebrated the New Year.  So, have you stayed on track so far with your priorities or did you default to falling back on  what was easier and just going with the flow?  Are goals still being accomplished?

It's easy to start making excuses a few months before the year draws to a close because we find ourselves derailed, detoured or just plain....'didn't hit the mark'.  You still have time to say 'No' to the projects which are not aligned with  your goals for the year and most importantly: which aren't aligned with your life's purpose.

Stick to the plan......the Life Blueprint....Take a chance now while you still have time (you're still living) and make the first step in the direction that continues to nag and call at you....pull and tug at your soul strings....You know that's what you should be pursuing, so lay everything else aside that doesn't hold a candle to where purpose calls and see where it takes you.  You'll be pleasantly surprised.

So, again.....time didn't go anywhere....You simply need to prioritize how you're spending it.  Finish the year strong.....Prioritize in purposeful arenas.....Soar!

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!
