Positive imagination of the future gives you a place to go that no one else can take from you.

Your job is to help move us forward by visiting your special place, remembering the future that lives there and what it feels like, and letting that bigger vision lead you.

Whatever that decision is you are trying to make, stop wasting your energy considering the wrong things. You know what they are.

Weighting the issues, opinions, and fears of others (or your own) will keep you from focusing on the essential things like your purpose, contribution, expression, and life.

Just because it feels something other than easy doesn’t mean you should avoid it.

Just because it feels something other than easy doesn’t mean it has to be hard.

What if you could let it be new before labeling it anything else?

Having a goal allows you to own your life.

A goal doesn’t need to do with arriving at a future destination or obtaining a thing outside of yourself (and it can). A goal can be as simple as, “I experience feeling rested and healthy each day as I wake.”

Having a goal gives you a sensation and experience to help steer your life and guide your choice-making. When we don’t set our own goals and intentions, we end up living into somebody else’s.

Choose what you want, use it as a guide, and own your life.

Not only does judging others slow us down, it takes the place of possibility and repurposes us.

When we feel the pull to use our energy towards judgment, we can use it as a signal that it is time to refocus on the more significant, more important thing so that we can stay in our purpose.

Noticing and discerning are different than dwelling. Allow the momentum of your commitment to keep you focused on the more significant thing.

The details are necessary if they help you focus on what’s essential. On the other hand, the details are a drain if they distract you and keep you from the most meaningful thing.

Details can be supportive and don’t hide behind them.

In your commitments. There are infinite accidental commitments, agendas, arguments, and opinions that we can take on and start to confuse as our own.

Use your breath to anchor you back in the now and your truth, experience, wisdom, and commitments. It takes focus and discipline to stay connected to your knowledge for your life, and that’s what your life is for. It is energy well spent.

You have incredible energy and life force within you, and each action or non-action you take makes an impact.

What would you like to be a force for today? This is your superpower- to choose how you use your energy.

Power is letting go. We cannot use our energy correctly and create what we want if we are dead-set on holding onto things that don’t serve us anymore simply because they are familiar. Pushing through and holding on probably won’t get us where we want to go.

Letting go requires that we move into the unknown, which is why letting go is power. It takes strength to leap into the void, and you are strong.

For personal growth and development to actually be growth, it has to show up as an ability to love ourselves and others more.

If we are “growing” and judging and punishing ourselves and others, it’s not growth. It’s a new bad habit. Failure is part of long-term success, so we must learn to love ourselves and others through unexpected breakdowns and not give up.

Love is the point of the whole thing, and if we make it the priority, it will help us go further than we ever imagined.

Honoring your personal truth is different than forcing an agenda.

When you are aligned with your values and best self, you can trust yourself to release your attachment to the outcome and be of service to yourself and others.

You deserve to honor yourself. You are already whole, so you can allow for things to unfold and have fun trusting your inner compass.

Resentment and unforgiveness don’t protect you from being hurt again.

They keep you connected to the pain and block the light that allows you to grow.

Unblock yourself. Let it go.

Interpretation and truth are not the same things. The practice of wisdom helps you see when your interpretation is keeping you from experiencing the truth.

When you find yourself unable to see the truth, it is likely that you are tangled up in a world of interpretations. When confused, you are likely wasting your energy trying to "understand" something that you don't need to. So, release your need to find the correct interpretation and reconnect to your wisdom. Then, see if it helps you find clarity.

Interpretation makes things complicated; the truth is always simple.

And be disciplined about it.

Know the difference between an un-useful, polluting thought and a useful, life-giving thought and be incredibly disciplined about which you give your energy to.

You get to choose.

A loving reminder that doing the thing you know to do will always feel better than the mimic feeling of fulfillment that you get through staying comfortable and stepping over it.

You will feel better if you do the thing you know to do. I promise.

This morning, you are being given the gift of a brand new, fresh start. If nothing from the past was holding you back, what would you create, and with what level of enthusiasm? You are given the gift of “the first day” every morning. So live today like it is the first day.

This evening, you will be given the gift of an ending. There is nothing more to do, and what you have done cannot be changed. What if this evening truly marked the completion of your journey and contribution? What would you create today, and with what level of enthusiasm? You will be given the gift of “the last day” every evening. Live today like it is the last day.

“I don’t have time for doubt.”

This sentiment is a great place to start. The only catch is, it creates a lack of time by implying your time is scarce.

Maybe instead, say that you choose not to spend any of your time on doubt, or that you choose to spend all of your time on faith.

You have time for anything that is important to you. So, why spend that time on doubting yourself? You will certainly find that your time spent having faith will not only ensure more success, you’ll feel so much happier and have loads more fun along the way.

And of course, you get to choose.

Or things, and work backward from there. Don’t do the unimportant and hope doing enough of it will finally make room for the essential.

Unimportant work begets more unimportant work. Time well-spent begets time well-spent.

Design your life backward from a year, month, or day from now with what is most valuable to you as the priority. It might feel uncomfortable for some old stuff to fall away. And that’s how you know you’re growing.

Needing others to agree is one of the fastest ways we give our power away.

When we give our power away, we get to stay safe, small, and the same. All of which are comfortable.

You don’t need them to agree. You deserve to experience the discomfort of becoming your best self and receiving your blessings.

The first is supportive and serves the intention.

The second is boring, oppressive, and thwarts possibility.

Use the intelligence of your body to sense the difference. Embrace the former, shake off the latter.
