Rising Tides

Inspiration, Motivation, Problem Solving, STABILIZE, Success

Sometimes the task of improving our lives seems overwhelming.  We use the excuse of not enough time, money, space, freedom or patience to do all the work required to repair, renew or begin again. 

When the problems seem gargantuan, step back and hone in on one thing you can change (health, relationships, spirituality, career) and focus on improving just that area of your life.  Use discipline and focus to stay on track. 

Give yourself thirty days then reevaluate.  You may be surprised to discover that the other problem areas of your life improve dramatically, too.

Rising tides lift all boats, focus on positively transforming something important to you and see that energy permeate your life.

    Very Good advice Cynthia. Eating a whale is overwhelming also. How is it done? By focusing on one small bite at a time. Easy does it.

    Fear can steal so many things from us. Two years ago, I decided to not let fear stand in my way and it was the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still there, it just doesn’t run my life any more.

    Sage advice Cynthia … that’s exactly what I’m doing right now … and the question is still “what would I do if the money didn’t matter anymore?” … within 21 days, the answers are becoming more concrete! It’s scary to think of making a big leap & far less fright-inducing to think of baby steps. I can DO bebysteps! LOL

    Thank you for the reminder, I think I’ll print this off and carry it around with me as it’s my biggest inhibitor to progress… trying to do it all at once and getting frustrated by the lack of progress! 😉 x
