As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You’ll have your heart broken and you’ll break others’ hearts. You’ll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you’ll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you’ve never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. You just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone’s hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don’t be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

I have one little question for you...

How are you currently living your life?  Are you surviving?  Or are you thriving? 

Is your life on hold?  Are you living your dreams, or are you waiting for something?  Take a look at the following statements:    "I've had a problem or challenge that's been around for a longtime, but I've never managed to sort it out" " I have a pressing isue to resolve, but I don't know where to start" "Things are ok for me, but could be better" "My Life seems all work and no play" "I think things would be great if only I had ________________" "I feel isolated in my job but find it difficult to talk to colleagues in case they take it as a sign that I've failed" "I'm hiding relationsip problems because I can't share them with family and friends, as this would feel disloyal to my partner." "I'm in a rut and feel too drained to get out of it" "I've lost direction" "If only my husband who change, we could be happy"  "If only my boss would recognize my work, I could get that raise"

Are any of these familiar? If you feel like your life is like pushing a rock uphill - then you, my friend, are just surviving.  Life was not meant to be lived like this.  You don't have to work hard to be a good person.  You don't have to give up your responsibilities to live your dreams.  Just because you can't see the way that it is possible - does not mean that it isn't.  You really can have everything that you want.  That little voice that tells you that you are too fat, too skinny, too smart, too stupid, too ugly, too selfish, not enough of this, and too much of that... IS LYING!  The cool thing about us (as humans) - is that we were made PERFECTLY - our innate dreams line up with our innate gifts!  Whoa!  That's right...  exactly what you want to do is what you would be the best at doing.

It doesn't matter if you want to be a doctor, a mom, a rock climber, a dancer, a housewife or a guru.  If it is your burning passion.. that little light inside of you that never goes out.. then it is also your calling!  Now, I have a disclaimer I must give at this time..  It is NOT the thing that you THINK is going to bring your love and admiration.  I see people all the time chasing goals to get the feelings that they so desire.   It IS the thing that scares you when you think about pursuing it - It is the thing that you’re afraid to whisper, least it disappear.  This is your calling – this is your wild and precious gift to life. Live your gift.  It is never too late.  Start today.

Risk it, baby!

"Two seeds lay side by side in the fertile soil. The first seed said, "I want to grow! I want to send my roots deep into the soil beneath me, and thrust my sprouts through the earth's crust above me ... I want to unfurl my tender buds like banners to announce the arrival of spring ... I want to feel the warmth of the sun on my face and the blessing of the morning dew on my petals!" And so she grew... The second seed said, "I am afraid. If I send my roots into the ground below, I don't know what I will encounter in the dark. If I push my way through the hard soil above me I may damage my delicate sprouts ... what if I let my buds open and a snail tries to eat them? And if I were to open my blossoms, a small child may pull me from the ground. No, it is much better for me to wait until it is safe." And so she waited... A yard hen scratching around in the early spring ground for food found the waiting seed and promptly ate it."  (by Patty Hansen)

  Where in your life are you currently not willing to take a risk?   Is it the job promotion that you want, the new creative endeavor you want to pursue, or is it that conversation with your spouse that you keep avoiding because it scares you to death? Not risking only holds the illusion of safety.  The reality is that NOT risking usually creates much worse results then the fears you had around risking.  Then why are we held back, why are we paralyzed by our fears of taking a risk?   It is because the familiar is comfortable.  We know what it holds.  The unknown can seem scary, Change can seem terrifying. However, the alternative is not fully living.  Don’t kid yourself.  It’s nothing less. When you choose not to risk, you choose not to fully live.

This is it This is your life Play full out.  Say what you feel & think Have that difficult conversation Ask that question you've been dying to ask… Say what you want…. I want a promotion I want to quit I want to start something new  I want a divorce I want more in my life ..because you deserve it.  It is your life to live, no one else's

In life, you can only ever be scared, when you believe in limits.

You can only ever feel lonely, when you stop doing things.

You can only ever become bored, when you no longer follow your heart.

And you can only ever get overwhelmed, when you think the illusions are real

Whew! Who knew it could be so easy to get back on track?
