I smile because I choose to smile.............

I smile because I choose to smile. I smile for the gift of a brand new day, brand new opportunity.

 I smile because as I dropped off my daughter this morning she gave me a kiss without me asking. I smile because as I drove away I had a vision.....I saw several white doors in front of me. Two doors were wide open, One door was slightly open, Three doors were closed. When I looked at the three doors a voice inside said, "not all three doors are locked...you need to check which ones will open"

This was a brief vision, a quick thought through my mind, yet enough to bring a smile to my face. I have been going through so many changes and sometimes my head spins faster than I can control. Yet OPPORTUNITY is right there in front of me......and what seems to be a closed door is an opportunity for me to discover, for me to get out of my comfort zone and open that door.

In life some doors will close on you forever, yet that is not the end. A closed door is just the beginning of a new chapter in your life.

Smile…….opportunity awaits for you and me.

Open your Mind

That person you saw in a crowded mall was meant for you to see
That word, message, quote you overheard while others spoke, was meant for you to hear
That beautiful car, outfit, view you admired was meant to make you smile
That sensation, alertness, chill, amazement, emotion that overcame you, was meant for you to feel

Don’t ignore that which came to you….there is a reason it did. These might not remain in your life for long, they might be just passing by, yet the fact you saw, heard and felt it or them means there was a hidden message for you.

Open your mind and the answers you seek will be made clear.

Know your "WHY?"

I was just doing some research on one of my short term goals. As I was looking up the information and thinking of what and how I would work this new venture. I began writing down the PRO’s & CON’s of this goal. In others words, “what’s ...in it for me?”. This is the question my coach always asks me with anything I want to do, forcing me to think long and hard. The question sometimes can sound selfish or confusing yet it really makes you think as to why you want what you want and how badly do you want it?. It’s about CLARITY. I can tell you that as I wrote down my “WHY?” I think my heart skipped a beat from excitement as it felt good knowing I am doing something toward my goals.

When you take forced action it feels wrong, you are sometimes not ready.  When you take inspired action, things just fall in place and it feels like it was meant to be. 

• Take time to get clear
• Take time to know your “WHY?”

These steps will make a huge difference in how you move forward toward your goals.

Expect Good things to Happen!

Expect Good things to Happen!

So many of us including myself at times struggle with this concept. It is so much easier to expect bad things to happen than to be blessed with good ones. Why? when we are expecting them that means they have not occurred yet, therefore the same energy we invest in thinking negatively we could invest into thinking positively. I am right?

I remember several years ago walking into the elevator with a co-worker. The Powerball was in the millions and many were buying tickets just for the chance to win. As we chat about the tickets…he turns around and says, “you know, even if I win this my life will never change, nothing will get better”. I just looked at him in disbelief as in my mind he was cursing himself to never have a different life. To make matters worse he looked me straight in the eyes and said, “you know it’s true”. I shook my head in disapproval and wished him a good day. I could not allow myself to fall into a negative state. Yet many of us do this on a daily basis. We want more, but our words are more powerful than our wishes. We say we want to change, yet in our hearts we believe we can never change. We hope for a different outcome, yet we believe that we will always get the short end of the stick.

It takes the same amount of energy to think negatively than to think positively. It takes the same amount of energy to create a bad outcome or to create the outcome you want. Yet it takes more energy to break your spirit by giving up than to stand up and decide to move forward with faith and hope in the possibilities.


Choose…..
Expect Good things to Happen

All of a sudden the lights went on

Transformation takes time yet when it happens it feels like the flip of switch…all of a sudden the lights went on. That is how it felt for me…..

One moment I was shaking my head in disbelief and in the next I knew exactly what I needed to do.
