What Will You Risk?

And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more.Erica Jong

risk what?

Not talking about commercial or business risk here. I’m thinking about taking a chance when:

  • We love a dear one and we hesitate to express our love.
  • We could help someone but don’t because we’re shy.
  • We could go that extra mile but don’t because we like the beaten path.

comfort zone

Getting out of our comfort zone is taking a risk. There’s not much growth staying inside this warm and routine place. How can we motivate ourselves to venture out more often? How can we be less afraid? Journal that.

Can You See It?

If you can’t see it, before you see it, you’ll never see it.Dr. Jack Graham

conception

An idea before it takes shape and solidifies into reality, must in some form have been conceived, first. From conception to rich visualization is the path that should be traversed before the idea can materialize. Action comes next.

visualization

The more accurately we can visualize the concept, what it looks like, feels  like, the experience it provides, the audience it touches, the effect it produces, the better the chances of it showing up in our lives! And that’s the idea.

Daily Affirmation: Today I visualize and create my future.

Serving

The biggest problem in the world could have been solved when it was small.Lao Tzu

Turn you gaze within. Become aware of your motives and thought process.

now look around

  • How can you help the person you’re engaging with?
  • What problem, around you, needs addressing most?
  • How can you be of most value to others?

The Little Things

Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things.Frank A. Clark

big dreams

We all have big dreams. To make lot’s of money, be famous, be heard and to make a significant impact on the world. Are we too focused on the destination rather than the journey?

Be Like A Parachute

We cling to our own point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away.Chuang Tzu

we own our opinions

And we like to think that we’re right. Therein lies the main problem in relationships and therefore in life! Examine how married you are to your opinions.

flow with change

Everything changes, so why not accept that and stay flexible so that you can flow with the river of life? Let’s stay open to other ideas, opinions and even the clues that life constantly provides us. Open your mind like a parachute and land safely each time.

Daily Affirmation: I AM flexible today, I stay open to Life.

Your World

Your world is as big as you make it.Georgia Douglas Johnson

it’s yours

It’s all your world. It happens all through your consciousness. It’s all your interpretation. It’s all what you experience. What’s your responsibility for your world?

how big?

Our world is largely made up, and by us. It’s up to you to make it big, meaningful, happy and lasting. Choose your thoughts, sculpt your vision and design on your actions. That’s it, it’s entirely up to you.

Daily Affirmation: Today I choose big. I choose excellent health and abundance unlimited!
