R.I.S.E. WORDS: Day 44: REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE

OK folks, I try to keep this short and crisp, but today's blog is going to be a little, ahhhhhh, wordy. But, it's worth the read. So read on:


R.I.S.E. WORDS: Day 44: REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE


This time of year can be overwhelming, to say the least. Now that the holidays have come and gone, we can have a lot to deal with---the expanding in boxes and many to-do's, large and small, that the holidays forced us (or gave us an excuse) to push aside. Not to mention, the list of new year's resolutions, tasks and commitments. It's very easy to get into what I call OPM "overwhelm paralysis mode" where virtually nothing gets done, except the building of stress and a sense of doom deep within. And in those moments your journey to your "good life"--that collection of situations, things, people and circumstances that provides you deep internal and lasting satisfaction--gets paused.


But in TRUTH, OPM is nothing that a shift in perspective cannot trump. Remember, when we started on this trek to consciously bring about our individual "good life", we began by understanding some basis truths about who and what we are.

These truths have not changed, and will not change. Each of use is created by the Creator, by God, by Life itself to be successful and fulfilled. And within each of us is the inherent potential to do and be fulfilled according to our wildest dreams. The "successful" around us, are simply Life's demonstration of what amazing things we can do when we dream, have a vision, believe in it, have faith, stay focused and do the work required bit by bit, day by day, while always holding in mind the imagine of the things, circumstances and outcomes we wish to experience in lives.

So if you are experiencing OPM, or do in the future, remember to shift perspectives, go within and get grounded on how magnificent you are, how amazing life can be and give thanks for these unchanging truths. From this perspective you will be energized to tackle whatever is yours to do as you intentionally pursue your "good life".

Now R.I.S.E. and REALIZE (your) INHERENT SELF-EXCELLENCE.

Live Life by Design; Not By Default
