we build on the success of what worked for us and create something new, instead wasting energy on what didn’t work.
Let today be a new beginning.
No matter what the circumstances of the last month, year, or decade, today begins a new chapter. No matter how much we may rail again it, time marches on. So, make it work for you. Design a plan in which the life we lead reflects who we are in this moment of time.
What might have been isn’t nearly as exciting as waking up to the passion and purpose of the present moment.
I believe in synchronicity and that nothing happens randomly. Everything is connected in some fashion. The connection just may not be immediately obvious.
I believe in being open to possibility.
I believe in opening the mind and heart to options. Sometimes we are presented with choice and we go with the safe one. The one that seems to be less risk and most acceptable.
What if choosing the safe option, was simply another way of deferring your purpose? What if you could follow the path of least resistance while continuing to pursue your passion and purpose?
I wasn’t encouraged to be a writer because it wasn’t realistic for a farm girl like me. However, I was encouraged to be a secretary. And those skills were very useful in supporting me so that I could afford to work part-time and go to school full-time to achieve my dream of a degree in journalism. My dream wasn’t forgotten or abandoned. My dream was deferred until I had the
“might” to be who I was designed to be.
We can rewrite our stories and unleash our true purpose in this life. We can live a life of purpose and on purpose as not just who we might have been, but the absolute gift we are to the world.
As long as there is breath in our body, it’s never too late. Never give up. Let that light shine powerfully so that the world sees us. And those who need us can find exactly the help they seek.
