Today Be The Day To Find My Way!

There are three kinds of people in the world. Those who enjoy being behind a desk, those who feel chained to a desk and those who must fly as far away from a desk as possible. Which one are you? Sometimes we are behind a desk because at the present time we have no choice. Bills must get paid. But tomorrow does come. The sun sets and always rises. So what exactly am I trying to get at here? My point: life is always what we make it.

What do you think about when you lay in bed each night before you close your eyes? Many of us think the same thing, "Tomorrow I will make it my life. Tomorrow I will start, I will try... I will..." And we close our eyes and open them to the sound of the alarm and hit the ground running- but many of us are still back in bed, hoping and dreaming...

What do you want to do? Are you a writer? A painter? A speaker? A teacher? A dancer? An activist? A mother? I singer? Do you want to extreme coupon? Do you want to rearrange the garage? Do you want to move? Why do we lay in bed each night only dreaming of what our lives could be like if only... we did what our hearts wanted to do. If only...

If only we woke up and changed the course of our day! How many of us say that if only we walked or stretched would we feel better? If only I set my alarm a little earlier and went to bed earlier? If only I smiled more at work and took classes at night- maybe guitar classes or art classes... If only I learned how to eat better... Why is it that what we desire actually sounds childish or impossible when we begin to make it a priority? It is not. Our fears of failing or succeeding or changing seem to alter this in our minds.

Many times our parents told us growing up that we were too wild or crazy to dream up such things. But look at many of their lives now. Do you know how many older women I work with who tell me that they wish they would have fallen in love with the milk boy when they were 20 or they should have continued to tap dance when they were 30- if only they actually lived their lives....

What can you do right now to live your life? Are you chained to your desk? Do you actually love your desk and are living from the inside out? Or are you a free spirit who must be out and about to grow and flow? Whichever one you are, claim it. Own it. And then move with it. Allow where you are to MOVE you to where you want to be. It's the only place that matters. Right here. Right now. It is the only place where we can make anything happen. Tomorrow will come but the actions to change it must happen today.

Today, make a list of things you can start doing- large or small- that will begin to move you in the direction of your dreams and desires. You can't bake award-winning pies if you don't know the first thing about pie crust. You can't speak to the world if you have a fear of speaking. You can't paint without brushes... Begin. You. Today. Your heart is waiting. So are we.

xo Love, Light and Always Life,
