"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain".
~Vivian Green
It was early 2007 when I first read this quote- it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was waiting for the right time in my life to start living my dream. Guess what?...that perfect time does not exist. Real change is always a leap of faith. For me the leap involved calling a Life Coach and facing head-on whatever was blocking me from living my passion. Through working with my coach I formulated my life's mission statement. "To create and collaborate in a way that promotes deep happiness". I still feel empowered when I read those words.
What are your empowering words? What are the actions that will make them come alive for you? What will allow you to jump into your life's mission full of purpose and living in that place of knowing? Nothing feels as good as being on your path day in and day out. Sure...stuff happens. Life gets in the way. Detours arise. But, when you've connected with your inner GPS system you will come back to the blueprint easily and without hesitation.
