THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Reflect Thoughtfully on Personal Triumphs and Professional Achievements

White Hibiscus source: 1.bp.blogspot.com







The excellent choices we have made throughout our lives can, during periods of wariness or indecision, give us the confidence we need to trust ourselves enough to face difficult decisions.



When we reflect thoughtfully upon our personal triumphs and professional achievements, we soon realize that for all of the missteps we have taken, our lives have been defined by our successes.
 

We have accomplished much and these accomplishments were likely no simpler in nature than those challenges we must face in the present. The range of our capability becomes clear to us as we examine the choices we have made in the past and the positive effects those decisions had on our existence as a whole.

You will be moved to courageousness today by the triumphs you courted in your individual history. DailyOM

The Most Fulfilling Road - Listen to Yourself and Be Fearless



3.bp.blogspot.com

Listen to yourself and be fearless in your actions. Nothing comes easy because we get in our own way. I heard someone say that a long time ago and from my experiences I know it's true.

I woke with the blazing thought in my head I am the captain of my ship, I am the master of my soul and nobody is going to stand in my way to hinder me in pursuing my desires, whatever they turn out to be!

I feel powerful and ALIVE and I am only 55 years young this 2014. Nobody on this planet can take this feeling away from me and the same goes for you.

Live your life as you see fit and follow your own beat. It is NOT easier said than done. It's a matter of doing, facing down all challengers whoever they may be - family, friends, lovers, neighbours - mowing down all obstacles whatever they happen to be and as I have learned, it's the petty shit that comes of most as excuses for their supposed concern. People just don't like change. It's too scary.

Listen here, the most fulfilling road is the one you choose.

You were not put on the planet to please anybody except yourself. That sounds selfish to some but what the heck. If you don't get up and get what you want, I guarantee you nobody is gonna come and give it to you.

It doesn't matter how you start or what you do, just get up and do it. There's no better time than right now, today!

YOU are unique! They broke the mould when they made you, and me. It is time to embrace your Self, drop the mask, step out, step up, be real and make a change every day. Do something you've never dared before and use the energy from your self-righteous anger to power you through the crowd of naysayers (well, we just don't do that) who want you to remain like them.

Stop playing small. It doesn't become you and only serves to make comfortable those who are too afraid to be.

Here's a reminder of who you really are.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. 

We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?  You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.  There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. 

We are all meant to shine, as children do.  We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.  It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"

DailyOM's  Madisyn Taylor wrote this brilliant piece about being fearless as you follow that inner voice within to find the path that makes you feel fulfilled.. Empower yourself. Go into that silence and listen. You always know what's right for you.

The Most Fulfilling Road
Finding Your Next Step in Life by Madisyn Taylor


It is when you are willing to listen to yourself and be fearless that figuring out your next step becomes easy.

There are many ways to discover what the next step on your life path should be. If you are someone who seeks to satisfy your soul, it is vital that you make this inquiry.



Often, your inner voice will counsel you that it’s time for a change, and it is very important to trust yourself because only you know what is best for you. Personal growth always results when you let yourself expand beyond the farthest borders of what your life has been so far.

When figuring out what your next step will be, you may want to review your life experiences. The choices you’ve made and the dreams you’ve held onto can give you an idea of what you don’t want to do anymore and what you might like to do next. It is also a good idea to think about creative ways you can use your skills and satisfy your passions.

Visualizing your perfect future and making a list of ways to manifest that future can help you choose a logical next step that’s in harmony with your desires. Meditation, journal writing, taking a class, and other creative activities may inspire you and provide insight regarding the next step in life that will bring you the most satisfaction.

It is when you are willing to listen to yourself and be fearless that figuring out your next step becomes easy. Beneath the fear and hesitation and uncertainty lies your inner knowing that always knows which step you need to take next.

If you can allow the taking of your next step to be as easy as putting one foot in front of the next, you’ll notice that your next step is always the one that is right in front of you. All you have to do is put one foot forward and on the ground.
Our lives are made up of a complex network of pathways that we can use to move from one phase of life to the next. For some of us, our paths are wide, smooth, and clearly marked. Many people, however, find that they have a difficult time figuring out where they need to go next.

Determining which “next step” will land you on the most direct route to fulfillment and the realization of your life purpose may not seem easy.

To Let Go Does Not Mean to Stop Caring

blog.nj.com

To "let go" does not mean to stop caring,

it means I can’t do it for someone else.

To "let go" is not to cut myself off,

it’s the realization I can’t control another.

To "let go" is not to enable, but to allow
learning from natural consequences.

To "let go" is to admit powerlessness,
which means the outcome is not in my hands.

 

 

To "let go" is not to try to change or blame another,
it is to make the most of myself.

To "let go" is not to care for, but to care about.

To "let go" is not to fix, but to be supportive.

To "let go" is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.

To "let go" is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes,
but to allow others to affect their own destinies.



To "let go" is not to be protective, it is to permit another

 to face reality.

To "let go" is not to deny, but to accept.

To "let go" is not to nag, scold or argue, but instead

to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.

To "let go" is not to adjust everything to my desires,

but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it.

To "let go" is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future.

To "let go" is to fear less and love more.

I am healed and whole.

Attitude Inventory - What Do You Bring to the Table?

Hibiscus
Source: 2.bp.blogspot.com

Michael Josephson's Attitude Inventory story from Bob Proctor's Insight of the day is so in line with my life now that is must be shared to give you some food for thought. Character really does count people. So who will you be remembered as in your interaction with others today, and how does that make you feel? Think about it.

It's all about having an attitude of gratitude for what's in your life right now. It's about being positively present in your life and living it to the fullest.

Be positively critical (not abusive) of yourself, change what you don't like but always appreciate who you are at any given moment in time.  Believe me when I say that if I, a renowned control freak, can give it all up, do the Work on myself and come out smiling at the other end and wake each day smiling, you can too.

All it takes is letting go and it's the easiest thing in the world. You are not alone and you do not have to carry any burden by yourself. Let go and let god. Try the Sedona method. It's just one of the many non-judgemental, non-invasive method that just may work for you.

What could it hurt:))

Attitude Inventory

It’s a wise custom to end an old year and begin a new one with serious self-reflection. What did you learn last year that could improve your life and make you a wiser and better person?

If you want to have a successful and fulfilling New year, start by examining the way you think and feel about your job, your relationships, and yourself. After all, the single most important factor in personal happiness and your impact on others is your attitude.

In the geometry of life, the axiom is “positive attitudes produce positive results.” They make success more likely, failures less harmful, pleasures more frequent, and pain more bearable. Some people tend to bring warm sunshine wherever they go; others bring cold chills. What do you bring?

To find out where you can improve, take an inventory of your predispositions, the attitude you’re most likely to start with:

▪ Are you generally optimistic or pessimistic?

▪ Do you tend to assume the best or expect the worst of people?

▪ Is your first instinct to be empathetic or judgmental?

▪ Is your first instinct to be supportive or critical?

▪ Do you send the message that you enjoy life or that you’re barely enduring it?

▪ Do you come across as the captain of your own ship or simply a passenger?

Wherever you are on the positive-attitude spectrum, think how much better things could be if you were more consistently and self-consciously optimistic, empathetic, supportive, grateful, enthusiastic, hopeful, and cheerful.

So why not resolve to think, act, and speak more positively about yourself, your family, your coworkers, and everyone else in your life?

 

Remember, character counts.

11 Empowering Quotes to Lead You to Your Truth in 2014
