The Best Way to Start is to Begin

Lisa Panos - LogoI remember reading these questions in a magazine a few years ago and thinking, Are you kidding me? Whose life is like this?

  • I am energized in the morning when I jump out of bed because I look forward to each day.
  • I feel like my life is purposeful and rewarding.
  • I have complete confidence to accomplish and create anything I want.
  • I feel my relationships, finances, health and time commitments are in perfect order.

Turns out, I wasn’t the only one who answered NO to these questions. Apparently, 85% of people feel less than satisfied in their personal and professional lives.

That’s a lot of people.

Here’s the problem: we all want to feel energized, fulfilled and confident, it’s just that we don’t know how. We feel stuck.

Does this situation sound familiar?

It’s your birthday. A milestone that signifies another year of passing and is a time to reflect on your past and think about your future. You look back on your life and are thankful for all that you have done so far, but you start to think about all the things you haven’t accomplished that you have wanted to (and said you would)…

o Your love life is a mess and you had promised to go to couple’s counseling to try to improve it
o You are still living paycheck to paycheck instead of saving money for a family vacation, college, retirement, etc.
o Your job bores you to tears, and although you have always wanted to try something new and fulfilling, you haven’t
o You have been wanting to lose that pregnancy weigh for 5 years. Maybe 10. But you can’t seem to do so.

Let Me Guess

You have some incredibly creative excuses:

  • I’m too busy
  • The timing isn’t right.
  • I don’t have enough support (financially or emotionally)
  • I’m not smart enough.

….The list goes on and on.

The Result?

You stay in your same, unfulfilling life for years on end.

And, thus, the vicious cycle continues: Dream. Excuse. Stuck. Unhappy.

News Flash

You have the power to change. You don’t have to stay stuck. You must, however, be willing to want to change. You must crave it with all your heart. 100%.

Take the First Step

Ready to make a change? Write down you want.

The moment you go from an idea in your head to putting it on paper, the shit gets real. You are no longer dreaming…you are doing.

So, let’s pretend for a minute that you could do anything you wanted to.

Nothing will hold you back.

What would it be? ____________________________________________

Maybe you want to own your own business, travel around the world, be home for the kids after school, start a movement.

Whatever it is, jot down something you really, really, really want. Deep down in your soul.

Because you, my friend, can create whatever it is you crave.

The only way to start is to begin…..
