Relish the Unknown.

You might say that the "art of living dangerously" is the ability to remain fully present with your eye on the good no matter how things might appear in the moment. It is not dangerous in any real capacity (quite the contrary!), but it may often feel incredibly frightening because it does require you to make friends with fear and discomfort. Living is a risk from which there is no escape as long as you're breathing. None of us knows what is going to happen in the next minute, hour, day, week, month or year. We may make assumptions, but it is only a forecast. You are given a choice. You can either live in fear of the inevitable uncertainty or you can relish the mystery and excitement of the unknown. Which choice provides you with a more fulfilling life?

If you were to describe the yearnings of your soul, how would you categorize them? If you were to die today, what would top your list of regrets? Are you willing to step out of your comfort zone long enough to remove probable regrets from your list? Take some time today to note 50 goals or objectives (that's right! 50!).  After you have listed all 50 (no cheating!), pick one that you wish to focus on in the next week. What might you do today to move in the direction of completing that goal or objective? Don't allow fear to tempt you into ignoring this request; fear is natural and will be useful to you in this process.

Success or sabotage? Are you obeying your heart/soul or your head?

Is this going to be an incredible day? Feed yourself with potential today and watch your own power and potential begin to unfold!
