The choice is yours

The choice is yours, to do anything in the world that will make you feel alive. It starts by aligning your thoughts with your heart's desire and taking that crucial first step. A dream may seem distant at first, and many times people give up on them when instant gratification does not present itself. There is no trick really, perseverance is a learned characteristic that you have to teach yourself by constantly asking the questions that lead you to the next right action. Those who are constantly sitting in limbo about what will make them happiest usually can't be content because they do not make up their own mind and they allow outside sources to dictate how life should be. The choice is yours.

Make decisions quickly and change your mind slowly; as opposed to making decisions slowly, which will have you changing your mind often and will lead to confusion. Your deepest fears and struggles cripple you from not being able to choose. The people, circumstances and ideas will always enter your life when you're open to enough and have decided what you want. Those who have accomplished great things in life; whether it be inventing something, writing inspiring songs, raising wonderful children, or simply becoming teachers to others, always practice the concept of choice. Feel alive today, make your decision and step toward your own dreams. Watch in awe and avail yourself to the great possibilities that come into your life. The choice is yours.

Faith, Honesty and Perseverance

This part of the ride will be rewarded by the very human elements of faith, honesty and perseverance. Inside the heart of a winner is the ability to let go of the negative forces in their life no matter how difficult it may seem at any given time. There will be people, places and situations that occur that can distract you from your purpose and leave you insecure. By being honest with yourself and true to your individual vision there is nothing you can't accomplish in this world. The simple idea of changing your perceptions will, in time, deliver an unmistakable feeling of security and hope that begins in the present moment. Believe that you deserve all of the desires in your soul. Take responsibility for the life you create. Keep moving, keep trusting and keep working toward your dreams.

Take Responsibility

Outside influences have nothing to do with where you are in life. There are people that intuitively blame the circumstances of their lives on everything that has happened to them up to this point. Until a choice is made to take responsibility for your own life and decisions; there will be no room for growth, for true happiness and confidence. Quit apologizing and start making choices. Nobody has the ability to make all of the right decisions, however everyone has the ability to make their decisions right. Comfort and security are only possible from inside your own heart. When you allow yourself to dwell on the past or be frightened by a future that you have no control over you become indecisive and unable to find your own potential. So when faced with decisions~ MAKE THEM and accept the results. Teach yourself to dream big dreams and let yourself follow them, watch in awe as the mystery unfolds before your eyes and take responsibility.

Surround yourself with people that are also moving forward and avoid those searching for comfort. Because in the end there is no such thing. Life happens, peaks and valleys, beautiful sunny days and storms; it is how you learn to redirect and improvise during these times that will bring you self assurance and understanding. Whatever your dreams may be, get after them and don't look back. People and situations have no bearing on your personal freedom so take responsibility and keep moving forward.

You can start right now changing your perceptions of the people and situations that leave you feeling trapped or confused because they are things you can't change. Create the life you imagine for yourself and discover your own unique gifts for the world around you.

Fantastic Connections

There are many lessons to learn from simply watching the connections in the world. Our fears and worries are accumulated over time from unnecessary beliefs that we are defined by the current conditions of our lives. One of the biggest missteps you can make is to judge someone else or worse, judge yourself for the situation you're presently in. Don't let the disillusionment of yesterday or the uncertainty of tomorrow stop you from making a worthwhile connection to the world around you today.

There are people and occurrences in our lives that will have us feeling bound by doubt in our minds. By allowing yourself to see the beautiful connections surrounding you, seemingly small actions can catapult your life in the direction of your dreams. Ask a child what they want to be when they grow up, the answer will sometimes astound you and always bring a smile to your face. No matter how you're feeling, skipping down the street will evoke a sense of fearlessness in your heart. Take time to notice a single flower that is sprouting alongside many others and know that you are also growing. Dare to make a slight change in your daily routine each day and stay in motion, taking in all of life's fantastic connections.

Discover what you Believe

This is the day, right now; the moment in time to shake out the cobwebs, smile from the deepest part of your gut and know that you can handle all of life's mysteries. Character truly is built by the challenges we face head on and continue to forge ahead. We will all face obstacles that hold us back or situations that baffle us. Once we learn to accept our own responsibility for them we can then face the demands of finding peace in our hearts and freedom in our souls. In order to move forward we simply must let go of any shame or guilt we feel due to not living up to the expectations of the influences around us. Discovering what you believe in and believing in what you discover is the foundation of building the beautiful life that we are all capable of imagining.

There will be people throughout our lives that form ideals in our minds that just may keep us small and never ever content with ourselves. Once we discover what makes us feel alive we can forgive the people and situations of our past and be blissfully aware of our own individual promise. We are each a small but powerful force in the world around us with the ability to carry each other to the places we dream of. Surround yourself with people that define you by your destiny and not your history. Each day the sun rises above the sea, dark nights turn to the light of day and changes in the Universe are constant. Keep moving, keep trusting and discover what you believe.

There is no greater gift in the world than the gift of hope, so feed it to anyone that is searching for it. Contentment, happiness and freedom within shines through us as we let go of our yesterdays in order to walk sharply in today.

Magical moments will happen in life when you are able to forgive people, situations and yourself for anything that hasn't quite gone your way. Remember, the world is never against you and life just happens.
