Gloria Roheim and I of Wedge15 talking about the ups and downs and real-deal of being an entrepreneur in this day and age.

Have you ever felt different?

I woke up yesterday, feeling like something shifted in my life. Although I looked the same, talked the same, I was certain that I was not the same.

Why?

Although I've always known who Napoleon Hill was, and have been told to read Think and Grow Rich, I discovered through my friends Bas and Beau his most powerful work "Outwitting The Devil" and "Law of Success".

I realized that my life is FOR something. Something so large, and powerful, and filled with light, that my commitment to it has shifted into that large thing.

I also realized that every single person on this planet has the potential to be a light unto the world... Most people have no idea they wield the power to bring about a world where we see happiness and healing instead of darkness and hurting.

Bear with me, I know this piece seems different than my others, but it is really not. I am a leader of people. I have a strong voice. I am a healer of those who are hurting. I now know it as sure as I'm breathing. I need you all to know this, and those of you who are willing to be courageous along with me, I'd like you to ask questions of me that will help you unlock your own personal light as well.

My life is to be of service to all of humanity. What is your life for?

Always the Nice Girl?

As I'm recovering from my cold, and reflecting on my life in general, I realize that there's one theme that keeps replaying over and over:

Why am I always labelled as the good "little" girl?

And boy, have I really hammed it up and played into that role. I've over-committed, bitten of WAY more than I can chew, and done soooooo many things that I've had no desire to do in the first place.

Can you relate?

 If you can't, then maybe you're a corpse somewhere playing to be alive... lol... totally teasing :). 

But on a real note, this reflection has allowed me to come up with some really great things that I'm now committing to use, practice and most importantly , doing my best to master right now and in the future. I cannot go back and change the past, so I'm starting from right here:

I commit to:

• Saying NO more often - especially for those things in life that my gut is telling me to say no to... I'm going to STOP doing things I'm supposed to, and having fear of disappointing people. PERIOD.


• STOP overbooking myself - as much as I love to be busy, having 4 weeks with no break is too much for my own body to withstand. AND, I can't be at my best when I'm tired.


• Be honest about my friendships - this was a hard one for me to come to terms with... For people who I support wholeheartedly, I actually LOVE being a part of their lives and events. For people who I cannot relate to - their lifestyle, their values, their character - I really and truly have no interest in being around. It's not to be mean, it's a hardcore fact. Therefore, I am going to CHOOSE to be FULLY  THERE for those for whom I share a reciprocal relationship with - I help them, and they help me to grow as a person.


• Cutting myself some slack when I fail - yes, we all do it. We are each our own worst critic. We cannot change the past, and we CHOOSE what baggage we carry around... I CHOOSE NO BAGGAGE. I will love and accept myself when I fail, and re-commit to being successful, and cleaning up the messes that I make.  

No one, including me, said that this work of living a light and freedom-filled life was easy. However, I do promise you that it becomes a fun, fulfilling and wonderful journey... I'm tingling with the freedom that comes from writing this post and getting this all out of my system!

Who's with me? :)
