YOU HAVE BEEN GIFTED

Do you know that you are gifted?  You are.

Every single one of us has the ability to make decisions and to take action on them.  That is called leadership.  Lead yourself first. The best way you know how. Do everything to the best of your ability and treat others with respect as you would like respect. Start there and you will see amazing things happen.   Leadership is a journey. It is a process of learning what you are capable of and the learning is never complete.

Wisdom comes from experience and the only way to gain experience is doing. So, go try new things, have those difficult conversations and the good ones too. Start to learn what you are fears are and your dreams are and make decisions one at a time. It is in these experiences that confidence is fostered and dreams are realized.

TAKING ANOTHER SHOT

Failure never lasts.

The feeling of missing the mark, letting people down and not fulling your vision might have a mighty big sting.  For a time it may seem as though nothing is going to work out.  Take a deep breath and take a look at your situation.   All you need is a little repositioning and to get back on your feet so you can take another shot and try agin.

Entrepreneurs always show amazing resiliency to me.  The stories of coming back from loss to massive success or of overcoming are just stories that impact and inspire.

Never lose hope of your situation.   Just get prepared to take another shot and if that one misses, do it again.

THE PROCESS OF WRESTLING

Trying to make decisions and find clarity often results in a time of wrestling. You know what I mean. Those sleepless nights where your brain is on overdrive spinning between trust and worry. Those days where you need to come to a decision about something but have no peace on either side of the equation.

The process of wrestling is a spiritual one. It is digging into the depths of your heart and your soul and to learn to truly listen to that inner voice, in the stillness; and when you feel it and know what decision you need to make, it is being obedient to what you feel and following through with your decision.

"Be still and know that I am God". This one line always comes to me after a period of wrestling. It is when peace washes over and I find the solution to my problem.

May you find peace on the other side of your time of wrestling. It is there waiting. Take the time to be still and listen.

Have a peace-filled day!

BACK TO BASICS

Today is one of this days I am looking forward to. It might seem boring but a date with my son for breakfast, playing music while I cook a variety of healthy meals and then more family time with laughter sprinkled throughout the day.

I might even squeeze in time for a good book and a hot bath.

As someone who keeps a very busy schedule, it is nice to have days just to do things that bring rest and contentment.

Have a great Saturday folks!

BE CONFIDENT

Today, I had someone remind me to be confident to follow your own heart. Have the belief that you know what you want and where you truly want to be and to return to that in times of doubt. 

So,in honour of this thought, I am making some awesome decisions today. 

Time to get out of the land of indecision (as I call it) and forge ahead. 

Feels awesome! What about you?
