Can you remember that feeling of excitement, of something new about to begin? That quivering uneasiness in your stomach, where you feel like running away - but at the same time want to jump right in and get wet!!
And so you DO!
And when you do, you can never go back. And you feel like the woman in the image.
Powerful, resourceful, at peace, and in love with life. Totally self-assured, with a heart so full of love and inspiration, she just can't wait for every day to start! ...... She runs her own race, with ease and grace.
BE THE CO-CREATOR!
Well, that's me lately, and what I want for everyone who reads this. Yes, I still have days or moments when it's uncomfortable, or scary or I 'spit the dummy', but overall it's as I said...and I LOVE it.
Even as I'm getting older, I don't want to feel BLAH!, and just meander through my days, wondering what the world has planned for me. I don't want to step into a New Year with fear, worry, maybe's and shoulda's dragging their tails behind me - I think we've had enough of that.
I want to be a fully signed-up member of my own race - fully engaged in all aspects of it. I want to be the co-creator of all that I am and do. All of it!
NO HALF-ASSING!
And what I've found is, it starts within, you don't need to be 'special' or 'talented' or 'lucky'. All you have to BE is YOU, but you have to be you FULL OUT!! Because it's the half-assing that brings in the energy vampires...and none of us really want to deal with those. (we make them all up!)
And by the 'energy vampires' I'm talking about the second-guessing, the feeling of 'not good enough' the over-compensating. The over-responsibility, and the need to please, just so you can receive some kind of validation, and feel 'good enough' even just for a moment....
NO ONE TO BLAME!
But guess what? None of that is important, NOT when you learn to run your own race. Because YOU are at the centre of everything you touch or allow into your life. You have no-one to impress, nothing to prove, and most important of all - no one to BLAME!
This is often where the beautiful 'plan' goes astray, and the proverbial sh#t hits the fan.
Because without someone to blame. - we need to take responsibility for ourselves, what we do, what we say, and who we allow into our circle of trust. - It's ALL down to us and the decisions we make every single day, ALL day!
So yes, we need to be vigilant, we need to be discerning and we need to take a STAND for something we truly believe in. And having THAT, we can clearly see our direction and focus. (It also simplifies life considerably.)
YOUR INNATE POWER
And as most of us know, where your focus goes, your energy flows, and it's your energy that speaks ahead of you. Your body knows the stories, and your voice is merely a vessel to transport your biggest beliefs, values and deepest knowings out into the world. And you get to choose all of that from a conscious level.
I find that to be absolutely amazing. The power, that is innate in all of us, if we could only tap into it. (One of the things I do with clients, in my program)
THIS is the YOU that has power beyond measure. And, it's a quiet power, a gentle assertiveness, an intuitive knowing that leads to inspired action. So no need to push, to hustle, or shout your message hoping it will be heard.
Run Your Own Race, and be at peace with your SELF - and everything that SELF represents. Allow it to then ripple out and create a new kind of energy that attracts back everything (and everyone) you have ever wanted in your life.
Be greedy for the good stuff in life, (time, energy,nature,love) and make every day matter. Greet every day as a new and glorious beginning that you've been gifted from the Universe. And..... refuse to settle!
I invite you to join me in greeting this year with an open mind, a wild and willing heart and an attitude that rocks!
