11:11:11 - Opportunity to Renew and Transform

Whether you believe in the 11:11 concept or not.... I encourage you, on this Veteran's Day (in the US), to take a few moments to give thanks for the freedoms we have - breathing a prayer of gratitude to those living and dead who have and are giving their lives to ensure our freedoms in our world.

Also I encourage you to take time to look at your "inner" world... and consider the questions....
  • Are you really free?
  • Are there areas in your life where you have given away your personal power?
  • Are you being "held hostage" by negative thoughts, worry, fear?
  • How do you see yourself? What's your self-image?
If your answers are not what you'd like them to be, this is a great opportunity for you to begin to transform them. Change begins with a decision. Set the intention and resolve to create a more positive inner world. Determine the steps needed to bring about those changes and follow through!

Remember - Even if the changes you want are in your "outer" world - most of those things are out of our control. The only thing we really have control of is our Self - our "inner" world, which includes our perceptions, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.

The good news is that as we make those changes on the inside, our outer world begins to transform as well!

Here's to continuing the Journey.... giving thanks for the freedom we enjoy in our outer world.... taking time to examine our "inner" world and initiate changes that create a more positive, fulfilling life inside and out!

Where there's a will, there's a way

Think you've got it hard? Watch Barb find creative ways to overcome her obstacles. She gives new meaning to "where there's a will, there's a way."



You may not be able to always choose what "cards" you're dealt. But what you DO with them is totally up to you.

Take some time to reflect on your own life....

What "obstacles" are you allowing to slow you down, get in your way, or even stop you from having, doing, or being all that you desire?

It all comes down to one question, really. Would you rather feel defeated or empowered?

Where there's a will, there IS a way.

Always.

Here's to continuing the Journey... choosing empowerment over defeat... finding creative ways to overcome life's obstacles.
