Seize the Opportunity.

You can run, but you cannot hide. That tug at your side, that tap on your shoulder, that queasiness in your stomach is a clear indication. It's important to remember, that what you resist will persist. If you do not address it, if you do not look the ugly in the face so that you can move beyond it, it will eventually consume you.  

It can be any number of the things that we love to avoid: looking at our bills to calculate our debt, telling our lover that it's no longer working, meeting the boss to tell her that it is time for a raise, telling the neighbor to stop parking in front of your driveway. Remember, not making a choice IS a choice. Procrastination simply feeds the anxiety, nourishes the stress, and provides additional fodder for that story that says that you are a total failure. 

It is time to confront your life and all of the things left unattended that is no longer working. Your life is a privilege. Time goes very quickly. You do not have another minute to waste. Seize the opportunity to lead again. No one is coming to save you. You are the one that you have been awaiting. No one is wiser, better equipped, and capable of managing your life than you. And there is no day better than today to do it. This is it.

Success or sabotage? Success is not born; it is created.

Is this going to be an incredible day? Take the initiative to release that which no longer serves you and watch the possibilities unfold.
