Stretch into Possibility.

Inaction simply fuels our insecurities. If we are going to live on an assumption, why not choose one that is positive? Why not assume that we will succeed rather than fail? Until we have made the attempt, it is simply speculation. Even if we have attempted something in the past and it did not turn out as we had hoped, it does not mean that we should give up and throw in the towel. Simply examine what we might have done more effectively and try it again. The worst thing that can happen is that we gain even greater clarity about our choice and how it might be modified or performed more effectively.

Today, I invite you to silence the judge that is in your head. Get that "mental jury" on your side by stretching into your full potential and possibility. What is the step that you are NOT taking? Something came to mind (I know it!).  Rebel against the voices of inaction and move vigorously in the direction of your goals. There is no time better than the present. If this invitation has stirred up the criticisms in your head, then it is a sign that you have some work to do. It is time to advocate for yourself, rather than the insecurities that you have nurtured over the years. Surprise yourself!

Success or sabotage? Success is an act of courage. Shine the light in the dark place and you will find that you are more skilled than you expected.

Is this going to be an incredible day? What actions are you willing to take to make it so?
