On this Thursday as Summer has evaporated so quickly that it's a distant memory and the cold rushed in literally overnight it is clearly a time of change. As the Expose song goes Seasons Change and some changes are obvious and even expected but most creep in when we were too busy focused on something else.
In this age of mindfulness take a moment and really take stock. Physically what's shifting. Mentally what's taking up space. In your business is your time being sucked up in a particular area.
I'm a firm believer that CHANGES Give Warnings but are you AWARE. Are you paying attention? Are you proactive or reactive?
How are you measuring your life in order to be able to assess your current status and thereby note when things are shifting? Most changes don't really happen overnight. Your weight doesn't increase 10 pounds overnight. You got stressed, started snacking and skipping workouts but you were focused on the stress and didn't notice until you couldn't fit in to your favorite jeans any more.
Well TODAY stop just taking whatever life sends your way and take back your power. You get to decide but YOU HAVE TO DECIDE. You have to set goals. You have to live an intentional life. You have to go beyond dreaming...to planning...to taking action to make those dreams a reality.
So while I love lemonade it's not always what I want. If you have enough lemons then stop just accepting the bitterness of them and simply THROW THEM BACK and go get the chocolates that you really want.
