Are You Ready to Breakthrough?

Life can be a walk in the park some of the time, but it can also be a sucker punch in the stomach. Sometimes it hits with such force we double over with the kind of heartache and pain we feel will never end. I’m sure we have all witnessed personally, or through a friend or loved one, what this feels like, not knowing where to turn or what to do to make it go away. I too have stumbled, fallen and battered my knees, my pride, and even disappointed those I love so dearly. It means I too am human. More importantly, it has taught me how precious and vulnerable we all are and how much we all need each other.

It would be nice if we could keep our connection to one another as a first priority. Yet we seem to be running around trying to achieve more than we can fit into the day; putting on a smile so we don’t let others know exactly what is going on inside and at the same time wondering how can we can get off this train track. You feel helpless and tired of carrying all of your issues around on your shoulders. You say to yourself, I just want to lie down and wake up without feeling so anxious and having to start every day with the same awful feelings.

The problem is a lack of body-mind connection and not being in the moment that leads to depression, discouragement, disconnect, and deflation in body, mind, and heart.

Of course, I’m going to tell you there is hope, because hope is always there. However, what you’re really looking for are the answers and the solutions. So let’s see what you need to do differently to get some answers and take a healthy walk in the park. Are you ready to take charge of your life? The answer is yes. First put a time restraint on how long you allow yourself to grieve over something that didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to. While everyone is different, two hours for me is plenty long to spend precious energy on outcomes you cannot change, but if you need longer, admit to yourself that hiding under the covers for days on end won’t get you where you need to go to get back in the game.

Lick your wounds, cry a lot, kick your feet and then finally get up, dust yourself off and begin to think positive about making the next step forward. Doing this requires an active mind, body and heart that embraces The 5 Living Principles of Well-Being: Commitment – Perseverance – Self-Control – Integrity – Love. These Principles are a Life-Guide for all your thoughts and actions. They are your conscience, intuition and inner voice that caution, advise, and shepherd your decisions or the lack thereof. The Principles help you and even nudge you along your path to ensure the transformation you are looking for takes root.

However, before change can happen it is imperative that you, without question, accept the fact that some things are just going to show up on your doorstep. Realize there is nothing you can do about it but embrace it and move forward with a more positive attitude. Own it, by accepting responsibility that the outcome is up to you, and live it by taking action and making it happen.

Your breakthrough is a direct result of the effort you give to the process. Answers are revealed through being present and actively aware, listening with an open and nonjudgmental heart. Solutions are the result of being honest with yourself and others and knowing where you want to go. It also takes planning, preparation, and being fair-minded so you can assess all sides and then move forward with doing what is necessary to give life to your breakthrough and achieve the results you are seeking. This kind of new thinking, in turn, empowers you to allow someone else to be first, to enable them to have their time in the spotlight, and gives you a deeper understanding of love and peace beyond the limits of time itself.

Are you ready to take charge of your life . . . to make the tough decision necessary to Breakthrough when others won’t? Are you ready to accept the responsibility that you are the CEO of your mind, body and heart? Join me now to set the best example possible through leading by example. In helping yourself, you well help others beyond the limits you have manifested in your own thoughts. So much more awaits all of us.
