"Accept - then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it."
— Eckhart Tolle
My life is changing and I feel like I am an observer and a participant at the same time. It's pretty cool and challenging. I have a tendency to put things in nice neat packages so that everything makes sense. I am at a constant place of trying to make everything ok. Lately I have been able to just let things fall as they may and refrain from defining and labeling everything. Its freeing and strange to change your habits. I am definately in a process and grateful for the awareness.
greener grass
The grass is always greener wherever you water it. Wayne Dyer
It’s easy to say the grass is always greener on the other side. It’s easy to look over there, wherever over there is and say that that is better. You are exactly where you want to be and if you want to argue that statement then do something about it. If you want to change then change but don’t blame your life on outside circumstances.
We like to sit back and complain about why things aren’t the way we want them. We like to blame anyone or anything on our circumstances. The problem with that is that it anchors you to your current state. If you want to guarantee that things won’t change then sit and complain about your life. Or you can use that time to do something about it. Get up and step outside of all the blame and claim your life, water your grass and create something in your life.
Today I am grateful for the peace I feel.

finding the courage
"Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy."
~ Dale Carnegie
I’m back! Sorry I haven’t written in a few days. I had zip line training on Friday and I facilitated on Saturday. It really wore me out.
It’s very rewarding work to facilitate people walking through their fears. I am getting better at the technical aspect and more aware of the part I get to play. As I was watching one of the participants on the pole leap, I got to witness the moment at which someone overcomes fear. She was stuck at the top of the pole and needed to put one foot up and stand and she felt paralyzed. She held on and kept over thinking it. She wanted to give up. I talked her through it and suddenly there was the moment when she took the step and stood up with her legs trembling. She did it. She crossed over from “I can’t” to I’m going to just go for it. In that moment she found courage.
That moment is such a metaphor for so many things in our lives. When can sit and analyze something to death but nothing changes until the moment we take the step and do it anyway despite the fear that we feel. The key is to feel the fear and do it anyway. The fear is not a sign not to do something. The fear is telling you that you haven’t done it and that your cant. It’s your ego saying you don’t have what it takes. You can do anything you want badly enough, you just have to take that step. You have to trust that you have what it takes. Find the courage and the support to make it happen.
Today, I am grateful that I have the courage to go back to school.

self love
"Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives" Louise Hay
If you can really love yourself first then everything that follows will be gentle and kind. We can be angry and bitter because we are unhappy with ourselves. We are our own worst critic and when we can lighten up and give ourselves a break then we can give the world a break.
Love yourself first today and see what follows.
Today I am grateful for the courage I feel.

gettin it done
Sometimes you just have to grind it out and get it done. That's what today is about. Get up and get into action. Yes you, get up and get into action. This is your life, stop waiting for someone else to do something about it. Stop waiting for a sign. This is your sign. This is wake up call. Today, do something about it. Stop complaining. Stop blaming everyone and everything around you.
Use your voice and declare it, say it,....speak your truth, go after what you want.
Today I am grateful that no matter what I always have that.

surge of energy
At some point you have to own up to how great you are, how beautiful you are, to how much inner dignity and potential you have. Drop complaining about what other people didn’t give you or do for you, or how they mistreated you. Take repossession of your Self and you will rise to a level of greatness that has been yours all along. - Michael Bernard Beckwith
So beautifully said…Today I am feeling a little stuck. I came across this quote and it just lifted me. This level of greatness that has been here all along is propelled by the recognition of who we really are. You are more than the complaining and the blaming. You are a gift to the world so stop hiding out. Stop waiting for something to happen. Claim it, declare it, be it!
I am grateful for the surge of energy that I feel right now.

todays gifts
Miracles come in moments. Be ready and willing. Wayne Dyer
Happy Monday! I wanted to snap you out of auto pilot. I wanted to remind you that today is a new day. It’s not the continuation of yesterday or the beginning of a week. Today is its own day with its own blessings and adventures. Today is a gift. What are you going to do with this gift? Who are you going to be? Moment to moment you have a choice and that choice affects everything. Don’t waste this gift of today.
Today I am grateful for the sunny blue skies.

what do you want?
You can never get enough of what you don't want. Wayne Dyer
Think about that today? Also think about what happens when you get what you want and it's not what you want anymore. Figuring out what you don't want is important but living a life in creating what you don't want would be dreadful. So the question is what do you want? And how do you know that what you want today is what you will want tomorrow? You don't. But I guarantee you that you will get closer to the truth of your desires as you get close to your center.
When you can be still and centered then you can ask yourself the question- what do I want? From this place you will get your answer. If you ask yourself that question when you are off kilter or moving fast through life you are bound to get an answer that will be gratifying for the moment. Do the work to get still and peace will follow.
Today I am grateful for new opportunities.

triggers
"Anything that you resent and strongly react to in another is also in you."
— Eckhart Tolle
This is a hard one to swallow especially when you really don’t like something about someone. It’s hard to even fathom that what you’re experiencing is something that you don’t like about yourself. All of our relationships give us an opportunity to grow either in strength or vulnerability. The question is- can you be open to the possibility that when you walk away from tough situations that you are walking away from digging deeper in your own life? Walking away from dysfunction takes courage but to really look at why you created the situation takes guts. Yes you created it. You create everything in your world and when you can own that and get the part that you play you will have more personal power.
What someone brings up in you is an opportunity for growth; the question is what do you do with it? I know what your ego wants to do, but what do you choose to do?
Today I am grateful for this peaceful moment.

clearing
Have a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing. Wayne Dyer
It’s amazing when I feel the power of that statement. What an amazing life it is to be in freedom. When you can live without attachments and have the space to experience life as it comes, then you can experience life in present.
Don’t take the ability to be right where you are as something that should be taken for granted. It is a power greater than anything else. If you can be right here and attach no meaning to the events around you then you can have the power to create a life that you love. The pull is strong to live in reaction and fear so you have to be grounded and stay centered, knowing that who you are is unlimited potential with the ability to manifest anything you want. You have what it takes and so do I.
Today I am grateful for a clearer head.

keep moving
"Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance." Eckhart Tolle
Not much to say today. I’m tired. I feel rundown like I’m getting sick. It was such an emotional weekend. Cecilia is all moved out. I just want to be gentle with myself today.
I was going to send the blog just like that. But I decided to wait. I decided to meditate. I named this Abundant Aspirations for a reason. I want it to inspire you to aspire to live in your abundance and so I will continue to write. I know we have all been in these hard spots of change. The fear can be overwhelming and debilitating and we march on. Despite what life throws us or what we create in life rather, can you show up knowing who you are? I am asking myself this question. Can I keep moving toward my truth?
I do feel more and more myself. I feel free of expectations. When I sit in the Abundance of the love and support in my life, I can be nothing but grateful. I have so much.
