Intimidation

“There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.” 
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Intimidation
There will be times in your life (like right now maybe) that someone or some situation is trying to gain power over you, control you and intimidate you.  As nervous as you may get, don't let that ever deter you from speaking or living your truth.  You are meant to be heard and you are meant to take up space on this planet.  While others try and squash you like a bug; duck, roll and jump up swinging!  Take charge of your life, your situations and don't ever settle for someone else's version of your own personal truth.  Look them right in the eye and say, "What I say matters.  Who I am matters.  What I think matters. And don't you forget it!"

Uncomfortable

From now on, I'll connect the dots my own way.  

~Bill Watterson, Calvin & Hobbes

Uncomfortable
Do you ever feel uncomfortable or out of place all of the time?  Do you feel like no matter where you go, you just don't quite fit it?  Even when you move to a new environment, that feeling stays with you or even gets heightened.  You try and surround yourself with people and things to "fix" that feeling that you have.  Yet you find that you just feel out of sorts!  Well maybe that's because you are uncomfortable within which in turn makes you uncomfortable outside.  So what truth are you not living?  What passion are you not pursuing?  What screenplay are you not writing?  What classes are you not taking?  What promotion are you not going after? Being uncomfortable means that you are not connecting your soul to your body or the outside world.  It's now time to do so!  Go within, find your truth and start living the life you were meant to!

Living the Dream

Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.  

~Oprah Winfrey

Living the Dream
We all have a dream of what we want to accomplish in life, what we want to do with our time and who we want to spend our time with. In the past we struggled to not only live our dream but to really own it as well. We danced around it and would visit it from time to time in our minds thinking, wow that would be a great place to get to! When in reality, we would do the opposite of what we needed to do in order to get there.

Well guess what? The time has come to put your dream into action! 2014 is all about living the dream, your dream, and there is no better time to start then right now.  

• If you don't like your job, change it. 

• If you have friendships/relationships that are toxic, cut the ties.

• If you have always wanted to do something, like write a book or go sky diving, do it!

• If you want to live a simpler life, start de-cluttering.

• If you feel that you are not being heard in a situation, speak up!

• If you want to move, pack your bags and go.

Don't let anything get in the way this year of living your dreams. Don't compromise, don't look for excuses and certainly don't blame your lack of movement on anyone other than yourself. You want it ~ this it the time to go for it.  

Start living your dream in 2014!
