I’m going to start with one of my favorite quotes from Marianne Williamson…

“We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world.”

I’ve had some truly amazing things happen over the past few days and I know that it’s the result of my 100% belief that things are always working out for me, and in my favor.

The power to create a day and a life you love starts with knowing that you are brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous. It starts with know knowing that you can create anything, anytime, anywhere…when you truly believe that you can.

The day will be what you make it, so rise, like the sun, and burn. ~ William C. Hannan

I have found that my very best days start with meditation and I have made a commitment to meditate every. single. morning. The power to create a life you love will flow through you when you connect to The deeper Source from which everything flows.

Every morning after my meditation, I say aloud…

I begin this day with the wisdom to trust that I am profoundly loved and supported by the Universe, that its infinite power lives all around me and is the light within me.

Meditation…taking some time to be still and connect with that infinite power is crucial.

In so many ways, life starts over in midlife. Everything changes it seems and it’s not always easy to see our way and figure out what we want our lives to be. It can be scary and uncomfortable to even imagine the next chapter, but the truth is…you really already know how to do it.

If you’re struggling with the confidence, energy or motivation to create your the next chapter of your life, remember that the world needs your brilliant, gorgeous, talented self. The world needs what you specifically have to offer so don’t play small.

Absolutely anything you desire, is yours to create. The only thing stopping you is you.

Follow your heart, every single day and take a step toward your dreams and desires…even if you feel afraid. You’ll gain confidence as you go.

Meditation, connecting with stillness and Source every day will help you to stop the voices in your head telling you that things aren’t possible. Anything is possible if you believe it is. You’ll gain confidence as you go. It’s not your job to worry about what anyone else believes is possible or to worry about what anyone else thinks of you. It only matters what you think of you.

“Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all, confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.” ~ Marie Curie

Get yourself moving and get yourself learning, every day. Journal about your dreams and desires. Be specific about what you want and write it down first thing in the morning. Writing down your deepest desires, creates intention. Take some time to learn more about what it is that you want to do and you’ll be inspired to make some progress toward your goals. If you make small progress toward big goals, you’ll start to see big results over time. A little progress every day can and will change your whole life.

Nothing worth having in life just happens. Living and creating the life you dream of comes from being intentional. You must believe that your dream is possible and trust in the power of the Universe, Source, God or whatever you choose to call it to guide you in the right direction. Ask in prayer and listen in meditation. Don’t ignore those little nudges from the Universe. When you feel a strong urge to do something, call someone, go somewhere…do it, make the call and go!!

Tell yourself that things are always working out, and have faith, even on the hard days.

“Personal confidence comes from making progress toward goals that are far bigger than your present capabilities.” ~ Dan Sullivan

Go for it now, whatever it is, Do it while you’re afraid and do it while questioning yourself.

You will gain confidence as you go. Trust yourself.

Your commitment to your goals shows in the results you’re getting right now. When you’re serious about getting better results in your life, you do what needs to be done to make those goals happen. You’ll stop making excuses. You’ll become more willing to do hard things, to fail, to face rejection and to look dumb. If you never fail, you’re simply not trying.

“The definition of hell: At the end of your life the person you became meets the person you could have become.”

Sooo, get up, meditate, journal, shower, put on a cute outfit and show up! It may not always be easy, but you’ll never be sorry!
