Choose your Path.

Do you find that your life seems to be a frantic race that you never win? Are you always trying to catch up with your own expectations?

There are many who have come to believe that they are not living a full life if they are not exhausted.  Some seem to wear their weariness as a badge of honor, making sure to tell others how many hours they have worked, how little sleep they have been awarded and how there does not seem to be an end in sight.

To what do you equate value? Have you come to believe that the "nose to the grindstone" life is the only one that will result in the life that you desire?  Often we become imprisoned by our own beliefs, without bothering to check the assumptions behind them.

Today, I invite you to consider this possible truth: life happens through me (notice that I did not say by me).  Keep your eye on your goals/objectives and allow the rest to unfold without feeling that you must force the unfolding.  Take some time today (in the midst of your responsibilities) to simply enjoy the day. Notice the little things that so easily escape your attention (the blooming flowers, the color of the sky, the color of socks that your co-worker is wearing, etc). Allow your self to remain connected to the power within that is your source (however you choose to refer to it).

Success or sabotage? You choose the path to your success. It can either be smooth or bumpy.  If you find that you are defending your limitations, you are limiting your success.

Is this going to be an incredible day? Will you allow it to be?
