Live Your Potential

“I want to live my life to its fullest potential. I want to embrace my own purpose, however large or small it may be. I want to find my own Nehru moments and take positive steps toward becoming the person I am meant to be. The journey will undoubtedly be a winding one, filled with surprises and setbacks as well as gifts. But I’m ready to embrace it fully, wherever it may take me.”

― Mallika Chopra, Living with Intent: My Somewhat Messy Journey to Purpose, Peace, and Joy

         To truly live means to give your all and hold nothing back. It means figuring out who you are and what your purpose is. It means not settling into a mediocre existence when you were destined for an extraordinary life. And the incredible thing is that what direction your life takes is up to you. You have the choice to simply exist or to truly embrace life and learn what it means to live.

The Choice is Yours

“You don’t have to live with whatever life throws you–or whatever you’ve gotten yourself into…
You can choose to Change Your Story!”

― Kirstin Leigh

        At any moment you can decide that this isn’t how your story will end. You have control over what direction your life goes in. You can choose to accept what life throws at you or you can choose to be proactive to change your story. The choice is always yours.

Starting Over

“Starting over is an acceptance of a past we can’t change, an unrelenting conviction that the future can be different, and the stubborn wisdom to use the past to make the future what the past was not.”

― Craig D. Lounsbrough

        Life is all about learning that you can’t change the past and that it’s okay to start over, to try again. For your past is meant to be a way to learn and grow so that you don’t repeat the same mistakes.

Start Anew

“We grow up with such an idealistic view on how our life should be; love, friendships, a career or even the place we will live ~ only to age and realise none of it is what you expected & reality is a little disheartening, when you’ve reached that realisation; you have learnt the gift of all, any new beginning can start now and if you want anything bad enough you’ll find the courage to pursue it with all you have. The past doesn’t have to be the future, stop making it so.”

― Nikki Rowe

         Change is scary. But, the key is to never let fear or disenchantment prevent you from pursuing the life you want. You can start anew at any point in your life…it is never too late to change the ending of your story!! Find the courage and strength within yourself to go after what truly matters most to you.

Leave Your Comfort Zone

“You’ll reach a comfort zone in your life and start to wonder how you got there, how did you miss the sign posts that directed your real inner truth? Don’t feel so guilty, you know when your meant to know and I guess that’s the thing they don’t teach you; when growing up, pain is inevitable but staying the same is a choice. Don’t question why your feeling ready for something new, question why you stayed the same for so long.”

― Nikki Rowe

         Know when it is time to move on…to stop holding onto what is safe or comfortable. For at some point, you’re going to have to be courageous enough to lose sight of the shore so that you can truly experience all that life has to offer.

Choose to Act

“The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward.”

– Amelia Earhart

        Sometimes in life you have to take a leap of faith into the unknown without knowing what awaits you on the other side. You have to take chances in order to move forward to create the life you desire. So, don’t be afraid to take the untrodden path and don’t look back from whence you came, for you aren’t going in that direction any longer.

Reach for the Stars

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”

– Harriet Tubman

         Never let anyone or anything prevent you from pursuing your dreams with an unbridled passion. For you are strong enough and courageous enough to achieve the impossible. The only person preventing you from chasing the stars is you. So, choose to believe in yourself and go after what you want most in this life.

Start Anew

“Spiritual growth involves giving up the stories of your past so the universe can write a new one.”

― Marianne Williamson, The Law of Divine Compensation: Mastering the Metaphysics of Abundance

         Life is all about growth and embracing change. It’s about learning when to close the book on the stories of your past so that the story of your future can be written. For when you let go of the chains of yesterday, you make way for the blessings of today.

Vision and Action

Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.

– Joel A. Barker

          All change begins with a dream and vision of what could be. However, having a dream is only the beginning and you must take active steps to make your dream a reality. So never forget that to effect real change you must first have a vision for the future and then you must take action to bring your vision to life.

Choose Your Narrative

“The chief beauty about time
is that you cannot waste it in advance.
The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you,
as perfect, as unspoiled,
as if you had never wasted or misapplied
a single moment in all your life.
You can turn over a new leaf every hour
if you choose.”

― Arnold Bennett

         At any moment, you have the power to say this isn’t how my story will end. You and you alone can decide right now to change the narrative. For the next hour or day of your life has yet to happen. So, don’t waste another second of your life being stuck or unhappy. Embrace the power of change.
