Do you remember going to the swimming pool when you were a kid?  Plug the nose, close your eyes and JUMP!

The first few times you may have walked away…I know I did.  The next few times the knees were knocking but you were determined to do it, and did.  It got easier and easier, so you moved onto the Diving Board, and then the High Diving Board.

Same thing goes for Life too.  Sometimes we just have to hold our breath, close the eyes, and JUMP!

That’s what I’m doing!

Welcome Changes Radio is going to be off the air for 2 weeks as I head into Vegas to work with the same group that helped launch GREAT people and projects like Lisa Nichols and Chicken Soup for the Soul.  It’s a GREAT opportunity I know I would regret deeply if I missed.  So…I hold my breath, close my eyes and JUMP!

Going BIG takes courage.  Going BIG takes determination.  Going BIG means owing that Vision.  It means moving from the back row of the theatre.  Going forward row by row until your standing at the stairs of the Stage.

Is there something before you that requires courage?  How bad to you want it?  Is your determination being tested?  Are you still in the back row watching your Vision, or are you making your way forward to it?

Dreams that never die are there for a reason.  You are given the inspiration.  It’s not random.  It’s not there to create regret.  It is not there for your Ego.  It is there so you can be of service to the world.

Be Who You Are.

Deep Breath!  Close Your Eyes!  GO!

Dream BIG!

“We are all one, Human, Plant, Animal, Rock. – Every single little quark is united in the same cosmic soup.  There are spaces but no boundaries.  Boundaries are only thoughts.” ~ Premiere [...]]]> How do you limit yourself?  Do you say things like, “Because that’s who I am” or “It’s just the way things are”?

“We are all one, Human, Plant, Animal, Rock. – Every single little quark is united in the same cosmic soup.  There are spaces but no boundaries.  Boundaries are only thoughts.” ~ Premiere Edition (Prima) through Liz Mitten Ryan

Are these limiting thoughts serving you?  Are they moving you closer to your dreams and intentions?  Or are they the limits that keep you “safe”?  What are they keeping you safe from?  Success?  Failure? 

What would happen if you succeeded?  What would happen if you didn’t succeed?  (Remember, you only fail if you stop.)

What if this limit is simply a small stone in the road that you’re bumping your toe up against?

What if you were lift your thoughts (foot) a little bit higher to step over the limit (stone)?

JOY Challenge:

What is one Boundary I would love to step over, and what would it take to step over it?

As children, we are told what we should want, and eventually, I believe we stop looking inside and instead look for approval for our wants and desire. They are transformed from desires [...]]]> It’s funny.  The older I get, the less often I look to others to figure out what it is I truly want.

As children, we are told what we should want, and eventually, I believe we stop looking inside and instead look for approval for our wants and desire. They are transformed from desires to shoulds.  We should want a high paying job, a large home, a family with the 2.5 kids (or however many kids they say).

“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.”~Carl Jung

But what if, as you pursue these “shoulds”, you feel your heart screaming for something else?  Will you stop and listen?

JOY Challenge:

What does MY Heart want for me today, and what would it take for me to give that to myself?
