Define your Success.

Many of us do not achieve success because we do not take the time to define it for ourselves. We allow others to define it for us and the resistance that we feel consciously or unconsciously becomes the fate that we create. It is a classic form of self-sabotage. By denying responsibility for our life and its direction, we are able to freely criticize without the worry of being wrong. We will never achieve our dreams, so why worry about whether those dreams have any true passion behind them?

Enough! We have a responsibility to ourselves, to our loved ones and to the planet. We are called to live joyfully. In order to accomplish this, we must first decide what that means to us and what actions are within our means, right now, to begin an effective transition. An action, ANY ACTION, is an effective action if you are clearly holding your intention. The worst thing that can happen is that we gain clarity which informs us that we are moving in an ineffective direction. Release the judgment and self-criticism. Peace is created one person at a time and it begins with you.

Some would suggest that there is a corporate holocaust going on in the United States. It is an emotional holocaust where millions are willfully marching into the proverbial ovens. The well-intentioned boss, organization, family member and friend cannot define success for us. It must come from the heart, vibrate in the bones and scream from the soul.

Success or sabotage? Have you found your calling? If not, what might you do today to begin to facilitate the process?

Is this going to be an incredible day? There is only one way that it may be so--through the power of your choice!
