What is the hardest thing that you do every day?

For me it is letting go, surrendering and trusting that the universe has my back and that I am smart enough to handle it all.

Every morning and several times throughout the day I have to take a deep breath and whisper to myself, surrender babe, you can't control it, it will work out the way it will and that will be perfect in the long run.

I would like to take a moment to talk about being selfish, self-indulgent, filling your own cup first...

I bet that some of these words or phrases feel a bit uncomfortable for you? Selfish is a hard one for me.

But I have learned that it isn't word that are hard but our interpretation of the word. It could be how we were raised to understand the meaning.

How does the word surrender make you feel? What kinds of feelings does it evoke? Do you feel release, letting go, stress free? Or do you feel like you are giving up and not caring? It could be any of those feelings but either way could be negative or positive?

If you have a feeling that you should be doing something or ending something or saying something but you are waiting for a sign. A sign that is something outside this feeling, a sign to confirm this feeling, well I have news for you babe. This is the sign that you are looking for. What you are actually looking for is the courage to do the thing. You are looking for someone or something to tell you that you are brave enough to listen to your own inner voice, intuition, your knowing; whatever you wish to call it.

Building the life of your dreams isn’t easy but it can be simpler than you think. First you have the dream, then you work hard but mostly you believe in it and yourself. Believe so hard that there isn’t a doubt in your mind, soul and body that it is yours, it is your birthright and it is coming to you.

I know that I do. I desire to be a woman that does life the way that feels good for me, not because it makes other people feel safe.

You get a choice in every moment in your life and you can choose the life that is truly calling to you or you can follow the path that has been nicely set out for you. It could be easier but it might not be fulfilling and if it isn’t going to fill you up, then is it really easier?

I’ve done it all to get ahead…and I got there, to the place that I thought that I wanted to go, when you think that if you keep ticking things off the to do list that this plus that equals happiness. The dream job, the lovely boyfriend, the adventurous lifestyle! But somewhere along the way, I needed more.

This took me a third of my life to learn this, well, until after my 30th birthday. I was a doer. I still am but these days I do more of what I love...

What do you dream of? What does your soul want to do? What is on your vision board? I was lucky enough to have someone tell me this when I was youn...

You are the CEO of your life! Hire, fire and promote accordingly.

It takes a lot of us a long time to really know this. Trust me you aren’t behind for not actually implementing this into your life.
