I believe that we’re all created for this very moment. We are created and uniquely prepared for our exact circumstances so that we can show up and thrive. Whether or not life is going to our perfect plan, we can do this. I mean, 2020 was one big unexpected detour, right? But whatever is on your plate at the moment, whether it’s wonderful or challenging, it’s there for you. Only you can tackle it, learn from it, endure it and celebrate it.

Consider These Questions:

• What would your life be like fueled with powerful purpose?

• How can you better acknowledge and leverage your unique strengths, experiences and abilities?

• What could you do with the courage to step into situations you used to be afraid of, and shine?

• What nagging thoughts do you have that hold you back? How would it be to know how to remove those and deal with them as they arise?

• What if each day you felt divinely supported, guided and led ?

Your stories shape your life and your world view and you have the power to change them. If you change your stories, you WILL change your life.

We all have stories. We have some positive, powerful stories and we also have some stories that hold us back, cause us to stumble and that create friction in our lives.

Most people move through life tossed around on the waves of life’s circumstances and then wonder why everything isn’t going where they want it to go! When you choose to stop riding the waves of circumstance and to intentionally design your life, you take back your power. It’s daring and bold, but it’s the only way to live an authentic, intentional, purpose-driven life.

In 2014 Sotheby’s auctioned off a 118 carat white diamond for 30.8 million dollars.  It is the most expensive and exquisite white diamond ever sold.  But let’s say that during transport a fumbling worker dropped the diamond in the mud.  How much would it be worth then?  It wasn’t broken or chipped, just dropped and covered in mud. Which one of us wouldn’t scoop it back up, rinse it off, polish it, shine it and treat it according to its incredible value? 

This is the season to practice pausing, slowing down and savoring the moment. My goal is to take that same spirit and use it all year long! Time to stop waiting and start living.
