Take the Risk.

There is a high cost to the paralysis of indecision; yet, we often fool ourselves into thinking that it is more effective to wait until we are able to make the "right decision."  We might have the inclination to move our lives in a specific direction, but we are content to suspend our decision or movement until we can rest assured of the security of the outcome.  We often choose the illusion of safety (existence) over the risk of the unknown (living).  The decision is understandable. The logic is even sound. One question remains: what is the real cost of living "safely"?

Your life lived is a declaration of who you are, so, what are you declaring? If you are unclear about the answer, perhaps it is time for a little self-examination.  If you don't know where you're going, how will you know when you get there?

Life unfolds based on YOUR INTENTION. The gift and the curse of this truth are that you have the freedom to choose.  You may either live in quiet security or follow the path of your heart's desire.  It is often only in the pursuit of the inclination (your desire) that the truth of your being reveals itself. 

So, for what are you waiting? What is the risk that you're afraid to take? What is one thing that you can do TODAY to move you one step closer to your dream?

Success or sabotage?  Success is only achievable if it is defined; is your sense of security feeding your success or enabling self-sabotage?

Is this going to be an incredible day?  Where are you aiming your intention?
