When you follow your dreams, you connect to a wellspring of healing and happiness. Unite your life with Spirit by living the highest vision for your life. – Susan Santucci
With out awareness it is difficult to know where or how we are positioned, nor how to navigate through life’s wilderness. Self-assessment requires contemplation and reflection – tools that are responsible for the development of self-awareness.
A great self-assessment exercise is asking “What stands between me and the vision I have for my life?”
If we have the power to make the choices that create the life we have, then we certainly have the power to make the decision to chip away at the beliefs that hold us back.
I choose success, peace, security and serenity. But I have other material goals equally important to me … I choose to write and my goal is to produce books – lots of them.
This morning I took a long hard look at what steps I’ve been taking to achieve my own publications, and I’m afraid it’s been very little. I take on too many projects, which in turn steals my personal creative time and without this time I feel undernourished on a very deep level- a Soul discontentment. So today I choose to re-access where and how I utilize time.
There are two affirmation cards I keep permanently on my writing desk – SET A GOAL and TAKE ACTION! Two things I’ve been doing for other people, but lately, have neglected doing for myself.
It’s great helping other people achieve their personal and business goals, but it’s important that we also view our own goals and work as being equally important … something I don’t always do.
As I write this post, I am tantalized with a backdrop that is wet, wild and wintery. The wall of my home is glass and, nestled high on an escarpment, I am afforded the most beautiful elemental entertainment of rain, mist and wind, interacting in Nature.
Wrapped again the cold, beside a warm heater, I choose to take time to contemplate, re-access and set new goals.
I have written so much over the years, I could have produced a number of books, but always I divert from editing my own work. I do so much editing and design for other people, it seems like a chore when it comes to my own work. Perhaps it’s time to stop being the editor and, with a sanguine approach employ an editor to start shaping my work!
When I loose sight of the vision I have for my life … I tend to drift aimlessly, which is ok in short bursts, but not long periods of time.
On the back of my SET A GOAL affirmation card, there is a simple direction:
Set a goal, write it down,
and release the outcome.
Small steps make a big difference.
