facing the unknown

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire... (flickers).  It is then burst into flames by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. ~Albert Schweitzer

I go through my phases of reflections and I am so grateful for all the people in my life that add wood to my fire.

I just returned from an intense course and have my mission, vision, and 5 year plan all in front of me.

Much bigger than the way I was playing before.

Feeling "just" a bit overwhelmed with all the golden nuggets of wisdom.

My old ways of thinking also wants a piece of action and trying to get in saying "Got to line up my ducks in a row before... or not quite ready.  Need more time."

Yet, I'm also excited to play like I've never played before. 100% committed to my success.

Instead of focusing on the challenges (what we focus, we attract more of), to focus purely on my vision and the challenges will just be a little pebble in my way.

If you've never jumped or dived off into a pool of cold water...what do you do when you get to the edge? There's a slight moment of hesitation. Maybe circling around to find other options.

I was in my circling stage until I arrived home from a red eye flight.

I had received a magical email from my accountability buddy.

It came at the perfect time to shift me to a more powerful place to stand from.

He said, "Three things that impresses me about you are your big smile, endless enthusiasm and never-ending quest for improvement (aka mastery)." - Steve

I thought for a second how I could really savor his words...

Then I realized if I saw a person who was like that...I would wish I was more like that.

How can they not succeed if they persevere, do whatever it takes with optimism, joy and passion.

Wait...that is me.
I am what he described and so much more.

I am grateful for the sparks in my life 
that constantly reminds me to Shine my Light.

I am ready to play big.

It's natural to have fear, doubt and butterflies in my stomach
when facing the unknown.

Question is, will I allow that to stop me.

Over, under, around and through.

Whatever it takes, I will do. 

Onward ho. 
Left, right and then left.
