Move beyond Indifference.

There are days when you might awaken absent of emotion. You may have a comfortable relationship with apathy.  There is nothing particularly exciting on your radar and you are simply going through the motions. It is at these moments, when you are awarded an incredible opportunity.

Thought precedes emotion. Your life is a blank canvas and you are the artist. Indifference is an invitation to remember the power that you hold within you. You have the choice to create a day filled with love, joy and laughter (or one that simply functions in reactionary mode--vulnerable to whatever crosses your path).

Take a moment (or a few) to think of those things which make you happy. Allow your self to really feel what it is like to experience them. Think of all of the things for which you are grateful. Feel the gratitude welling up within your soul. Now, make a quick list of 20 things that you enjoy doing. From the list, choose one or two of the things that you have not done in a while and put them on your schedule for today.

Success or sabotage? Passion fuels success. What is the point of success if you are not having fun? If you are waiting until you have "earned" it, you are missing the opportunity for greater success.

Is this going to be an incredible day? Do not overlook the question. Answer it with your actions.
