Do you know how special you are? You’re God’s unique creation. You’re precious! Why are you so limited in your life then? Why do you make decisions based on your poor self esteem? Why do you settle for less? If you want to lead a more positive life, think positive thoughts. Stop being negative about yourself, you are golden. Trust your instincts and connect with your inner most desires. Opportunities multiply as they are seized (Sun Tzu). From now on, allow your inner light to shine onto the dark challenges that lie ahead.  Don’t expect it to be a smooth sailing. But if your mind is ready for bigger dreams, you’re ready to sail for success!

Someplace I read that when climbing a mountain, the last step has a different feeling than the first, even though it is part of the same journey, and that is because you can see the peak, the goal, the dream.  It’s now within reach. But before you get to the last step before the peak, there is a painful transformation to go through. Seek to get rid of what chains you, to steer up your path directly to a greater field (Green). And sometimes, this even means to remove yourself from unproductive situations, even though they might not seem obvious, or to distance yourself from people you know and even care about. Anything or anyone that keeps you chained, in a rut, or does not bring inspiration to your life must be discarded. It sounds painful, but it’s necessary. You can’t give or be to others, what you can’t give or be to yourself first. Step outside yourself and your daily environment and aspire to something greater. And for this, you must center your inner core.

Take the time to recognize your needs. Question your beliefs and fears, rather than doubting your abilities and your competence. You must be true to yourself because you’ll have to make serious commitments with yourself. But I can assure you that the blessing of clarity will make your voyage smoother in the future. Remember that conflicts and struggles are always operating behind the scenes.  So don’t sit on your emotions; it’s not healthy. On the contrary, brave up and get them out. Your goal should be attainable, to build on your strengths and not on your weaknesses. Doing the right thing for you will always bring satisfaction despite the hurdles. And please, don’t forget that people who act with courage, clarity, and confidence become instant targets for criticism.  Do not waiver from the wise choice you are now starting to make. Now you realize that moving forward is leaving something behind. You are now finding your voice and your purpose in life. Free the anchor and set sail. Sail for success!
