Mindful Monday:To get unstuck, choose differently

"Every person, all the events of your life are there because
you have drawn them there. What you choose
to do with them is up to you."~ Richard Bach: An American Writer

Most of us can't imagine that the above is true - especially if you are out of work or going through a health scare. We don't see these things as choices. We tend to believe that they happen to us, not because of the choices we made, but perhaps just bad luck.

Take a look at it another way. You may not have gotten laid off by choice, but you did chose to work for the company, you chose your career and you chose to learn the skills and get the education that would allow you to be in the career. If you aren't where you want to be NOW, the question to ask is: What do I choose differently, so the outcome is different?

What choices can you start making TODAY, that will allow you to start creating the future you really want. Even if you don't know what that is, you do know what you DON'T want (the same old story), so again, ask yourself: What can I choose to do differently?

Don't know where to start? Try your attitude and shifting your belief that things that happen TO you, are not about luck, but about preparation, belief and action.

Mindful Monday: Listening to Your Own Inner Voice

How do geese know when to fly to the sun? Who tells them the seasons? How do we humans know when it is time to move on? As with the migrant birds, so surely with us, there is a voice within if only we would listen to it, that tells us certainly when to go forth into the unknown. ~Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

We know when it's time to fly. The key is listening.

 

It's only when we really listen to ourselves, our inner selves, that we can really fly. Maybe that sounds cliche' and maybe its cliche' because we keep having to hear it over and over again. We are presented moments everyday, opportunities to listen to that inner voice. These days the challenge is hearing it over the din of cell phones, email, TV and all the things on our to-do list. All the things that keep us listening to everything, but ourselves.

Why not try a 'Not-To-Do-List? Turn off the TV, cell phone, computer and spend time listening to your own inner voice. 

You probably won't be surprised when you hear it. But you might just be surprised how much easier it is to hear.
