Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that dis-empowers them or one that can literally save their lives. “Anthony Robbins”

Someone once said, we should be told from the moment we are born, that as of this moment, we have started to die. What a profound declaration, imagine a world where from birth we are raised to appreciate every moment because we have found out …we are dying. Any of our lives can be cut short without warning—but we can decide whenever we want to use our time to reach for our dreams. Life can be a gift, but it’s one we need to give to ourselves.

From birth we are conditioned to live within the limited perception of our own power to transform our lives—moving through our days with invisible tethers that hold us back from becoming who we really are. But while the elephant submits to its restricted boundaries, we possess the freedom to set the scope of our own dreams. We’re free to move out of the dusty circle where we’ve stood, stuck and discouraged, and into a new terrain that offers a landscape of vast potential. We can awaken that smoldering spark inside ourselves and become our best and truest selves.

No matter what is going on in your life, stop to actually live and experience it. Life will always be filled with challenges, but it is still life and it is still yours.  You don’t always get to control what is happening, but you do get to control your thoughts, your actions, your speech, your beliefs, your attitudes and your reactions. In the end, the choice was always yours…
