Expand your dream and live from it!

[Carol Anne Kincaid~Paradis]

Expand your dream and live from it! Now is the time to raise the bar on yourself..to reach higher...to soar to new heights because you can. You owe it to yourself to leave nothing on the table of life.

Your dream matters. Show up and make your contribution. Introduce a novel idea. Start that new business and make your presence known. Make your move now. You have something special. You have GREATNESS within you!~Les Brown

I once read an analogy that compared commitment to throwing rocks into a river. If you were to commit to throwing 1 rock a day into a river, then that is what you must do each day, no matter what. Although you can simply skip a day and throw 2 rocks the next day to make it up, you must not do that. It would certainly be easier to skip several weeks and just throw a handful of rocks into the river to make up for it but that would mean you are breaking your commitment.

If you actually commit to doing something, then you must follow through. That way, whenever you tell yourself you will do something, you will have the confidence that you’ll actually do it since you always do what you say you will do. What you say and what you do will be congruent.

The bottom line is to get yourself to do what you were committed to doing no matter what. It won’t always be easy but it’s what will separate you from the average person. If you find yourself constantly failing to follow through, make smaller commitments and build up from there.

Elder's Meditation of the Day January 15

It's all spirit and it's all connected."
--Grandfather William Commanda, ALGONQUIN

If everything is connected, we cannot disconnect. To disconnect is not a real choice. This is why we are always spiritual no matter what we do. Every alcoholic is spiritual. All our brothers and sisters are spiritual. We may not be behaving correctly, but nevertheless, we are spiritual. Our choice is to live out of harmony with spiritual ways or in harmony with spiritual ways. Everything is spiritual.

Great Spirit, give me the knowledge to be in harmony with the spirit today.Happy Trails
