Fragments of Life.

During your life you look at the world as if you are looking through a kaleidoscope, seeing tiny fragments, but never the whole. In actuality the world is like a fabric, where everything and every living being is interwoven.

The truth is that your simplest thought or action – the decisions you make each day, and how you see and relate to the world – can be incredibly significant and have a profound impact on your life. Not only for you, but for those around you, and as well as the world at large.

Today help me remember that we all share the same sky, and that we are all responsible for each other.

Do You Feel Like Life Is A Balancing Act?

Yes.

Life is a balancing act…..

You try balancing work, children, partners, friends, personal growth, and romance?

But you still feel that you never get it right?

Breath.

Take a moment.

Release your grip.

Loosen your hold.

Let it be.

Reflect.

Know that finding a balance is an ongoing process and that life is in a constant state of change.

Ask yourself: Are you on track, or have you temporarily derailed? Are you patiently, but steadfastly, working toward your goals?

Allow yourself the time to regularly reassess the direction in which you are heading.

Get organized. Create a structured plan each day rather than reacting to whatever comes up.

Focus on your priorities.

Occasionally allow yourself to say “NO.”

Life is a balancing act. It is a continuous shifting and adjusting.

Finding your balance is important.

Why?

Because you will a better parent, partner, leader, employer, employee and most of all you will a much better you.

Are You Standing In Your Power?

Am I standing in my power?

Do I believe in myself?

Do I have a clear understanding of where I want to go?

Or am I just trying to please others?

If having others believe in us and in our dreams were requirements for success, most of us would never accomplish anything.

What does it mean to stand in our power? Does it mean to believe in ourselves? Should we quit worrying what other people think about us?

YES!

Standing in our power means to be bold and confident and to have courage to stand up for ourselves.

Standing in our power, we will find that we are vulnerable and that we have to take risks transcending our comfort zone.

Standing in our power means daring to endure public criticism.

Not all segments of our journey will be smooth, paved or easy. We might prefer the highway, but sometimes the path takes us off-road where it’s rough. And the journey can get rough for miles and miles and miles.

Get ready, for this is the ride of your life.  Don’t pretend that the bumps and detours are not there.  Accept that not all paths are paved and smooth. Ride the path with unshakable determination by living within the structure of your own personal integrity.

It does not mean the path will remain rough forever.

It doesn’t matter who we are – if we are rich, famous, talented, creative, educated.

At some point each of us will face the choice of claiming our power or giving it away to others.

Stop worrying about what other people think.  Stop trying to please others.

Trust in your brilliance. Trust in your uniqueness. Trust in your humanity.

Really focus on what is right and wrong for YOU.

If you want to create the life of your dreams, you need a strong foundation.

Owning your power requires that you accept yourself as you are. It means accepting your weaknesses and your strengths, your brilliance and your flaws, no matter what anyone else may think about you.

When I am  standing in MY own power I feel strong enough to be true to my own desires.
