Awaken your Muse.

We all deserve a life of fulfillment, satisfaction, excitement, and joy. And the world needs that from us, so that we may all benefit. It's time to say "yes" to living a life of clear intention and taking the necessary steps to bring it to fruition, rather than continuing to hope and pray for a cosmic lottery win.

The challenges and necessities of daily life have often buried the dream deep within us. We've become so far removed from it that we can scarcely imagine indulging in such "foolishness." But if we want to awaken the resting muse within, we must be willing to invite it to come forward.

Grab a pen and paper, and begin writing about "the perfect day." Set aside any feelings of lack, limitation, or "reality," and let your creative inspiration flow. Describe, in vivid detail, what this day would look like from the moment you wake up until you retire. What would you be doing? Who would you be with? Where would you be living? Immerse yourself in the emotions and sensations of this perfect day.

Once you've completed the exercise, read it aloud. What elements of this perfect day can you begin to incorporate into your life this week? Who would you be if this dream were a reality? How can you embody more of that person right now?

Success or sabotage? Articulate your desires, declare your intentions, and rewrite the story of your life where you are the victor instead of the victim.  

Is this going to be an incredible day? The answer lies in your ability to respond as the creator of your experience, rather than the victim. The choice is yours.
