Play the Role.

We can do anything that we choose to do.

For many of us, that statement alone will inspire a debate with the committee in our head. Pay attention. What is the basis of the argument? Is it the belief that "it" cannot be done (whatever the "it" may be) or is it the belief that YOU cannot do it? Why is it so much easier to believe in the possibility and potential of others? What if we were to believe that we had unlimited possibilities? How would it redirect our lives?

Let’s try an experiment. Walk through this day as if you have been infused with magical powers. Act as though the entire world is under your spell--creating new ways to support and reward you. When the voices of doubt and cynicism begin to speak, choose not to acknowledge them. Thank them for their opinion and tell them that they won't be needed today. Stretch beyond your comfort and play the role in all of its glory (wear a cape if you must!). Notice the energy and excitement that flows through your body. How does this serve you?

Success or sabotage? You can only obtain success when you know that you can. Somewhere deep down in your soul, you must embody the power to accept success--knowing that you will overcome any obstacles that cross your path.

Is this going to be an incredible day? You can have it if you choose to do so.
