The Daily Do

Two frogs sit on a lily pad and one decides to leap; how many frogs are on the lily pad now, since one thought it should leave? Two. Deciding isn’t doing, the frog’s still sitting still. Decisions and intentions are the spark that sets the course but it’s action that defines us and moves us forward most. By deciding you have set in motion providence to lend its hand, but it only works when you kick into action, jump and start!

A big, solid YES to life can be your focus today, opportunity and flourishing relationships crushing any fearful need to hideaway. YES. This one word can sum up all the power you need today if stuck in ruts, falsely trapped, clinging to security. YES, humming with all it’s positives, the upward spiral of it’s sound, say YES to life, say YES today, to you, say YES deep and loud.

Big feelings often sprout from little things we’ve allowed to grow, but spot the pebble in your shoe, get it done and let it go. The impact of feeling less than great can permeate your day, and when feeling low we let more little things get in our way. Give yourself the gift of a heart lightened from this weight, make the call, do that job, get it done and you’ll feel great!

You can’t change other people, but change yourself and see how all around you shifts. Dissolve gridlock with others by changing tact from talk to listening. From need and anger to the synergy of 'help me to understand'…you’ve changed yourself and your perspective and hence the lay of the land. Then watch as the space you’ve given them to breathe and open up, releases tension in both of you, and you made this giant step. In this space you’ll then be heard and be understood in turn, the synergy of understanding, the win/win in you has won.

The ebb and flow of circumstance will impact how we feel but there is one quality you can develop that keeps your even keel…purpose. Beyond the day to day, deeper than the outside in, our purpose is what we’re sending out despite what’s happening. What is it I’m adding? What can I give today? This is our belonging, our meaning, our happy. See the meaning borne from adding to this life, the ever flowing river to the world from what’s inside. Find purpose and the hard days soften to it’s strengthened touch, the glow of your found meaning that you’ll find to mean so much.

Your body language speaks volumes and your mind is listening, your posture affects your state of mind, change it and the effects are significant. When tired or dismayed you shrink to hide away but when you’re passionate and excited you walk tall, filling space as your spark's ignited. With action you can change direction, refuel the feel good fire, the mind and body, body and mind as one, energised and inspired!

Today is your day to sit still with yourself, to begin on this journey to deep personal wealth. Today is for stillness and the peace you find there, for the freshness of beginnings in the crisp silent air. Today is for you to find some silence alone, where you will find you, where you will come home; sit with yourself and begin to find ground, the you that sings you without making a sound.

Patience is a proactive skill borne from knowing why you’re persisting… past drudgery and repetition, when it seems time is resisting. When your 'why' is far greater than the moment of boredom or the self pity of effort unnoticed, your patience kicks in like a blanket resolve, and you return with your purpose reloaded. This is the plateau where the real work is done, where you in your steady silence will surely become.

Inspiration IS motivation, the drive for us to see, the world in all it's majesty, the all that we can be. To stretch the eyes, mind and imagination beyond where we are right now, fires up our inspiration and this is motivation's power. Reach out and touch this inspiration, bring it close to heart, then apply it to your day today, grab the wheel and start. Journey to that glowing fire you feel when touched upon, inspired by reality, the magic of 'You Can!' 

Begin with the end in mind; how simple a thought yet one we forget as we go about our lives. To start new things knowing where they can go is essential for developing self, the dot on the horizon and the map to get there, whether fitness, relationships or wealth. Imagine building that Ikea bookshelf without the instructions, no picture or even idea… yeh, you’d build something and you knew what you wanted but there’s no plan without the end being clear.
