Listen
Life is speaking to us constantly but we tend to not hear it. We might pause for a second and say, "hmmm, was that a sign?" and we continue about our busy day not really paying attention to the meaning of all of the things that jump in our path.
These signs are just that. They are clues and markers to keep us either on our path or to encourage us to change course. They often are subtle and come in whispers so we tend to push them aside. Well what if we not only recognized them but paid attention to them? What if we listened to the whispers every single day of our lives? What would happen? Well, we would live our purpose. We would live our dream. We would fulfill our destinies. We would be in sync with life in its truest form. Somewhere we forgot that we were not put here to study, work and pay bills. We are meant to live - really live. We are meant to feel. We are meant to experience. We are meant to connect and above all, we were meant to love. Love everything from people to life itself.
Let this be your permission to listen to the whispers, to acknowledge the signs, and to finally start living your purpose.
Trapped
Sometimes we feel trapped. We feel trapped in our jobs, trapped in a relationship, trapped in a friendship, trapped in a situation and cannot see the way out. But what if feeling trapped was only a state of mind? What if the way out was right in front of you and had always been there? What if freedom was as simple as making a different decision?
We are really good at getting stuck, for whatever reason, and now we are going to get great at breaking free. It's our time to unshackle ourselves from EVERYTHING that does not serve us, that does not bring us joy and that does not allow us to reach our fullest potential. Go ahead, feel around for the doorknob, it's there. It's just waiting for you to turn it, open the door and run!
This Moment
This moment is what counts right now. This very second ... and now this one!
It's easy to get swept up in the stress and the chaos this time of year. It's even easier to set unobtainable expectations and strive for perfection in every way whether it's finding the perfect gift, having the perfect outfit or making sure your house is perfect for your company.
As you get yourself crazed over almost everything, you overlook the current moment that you are in.
You miss out on the smiles from strangers.
You miss the hearing the laughter of the child in the store.
You miss the opportunity to dance to the music playing everywhere you go.
You miss seeing the acts of kindness happening all around you.
Don't miss anymore moments. Enjoy every single one you have today, and tomorrow, and the next day. For moments is all we truly have.
