Just do it!
Far too often i overthink actions and i get stuck in thinking through an action i could possibly have already finished in the same amount of time. Most of the time it is better to start something and then correct or optimize the way you do it while you do it, than dont start and overthink.
Jan 1, 2013 Started my blog… Who Ya!
My motto for the year is to always look for the good side of things.
Am I hellping or hurting myself by doing this?
And paying closer attention to my spelling evidently!
I can win
Be the person you feel deep in your soul you are meant to be.
Focus on who you want to become, what you heart years for most and all the beautiful blessings already in your life.
Let your dreams cross over to the dimension of reality by letting out your creativity, thoughts, feelings, humour and authentic self.
Accept, appreciate and allow the present moment to unfold as it should. Work towards your goals but know that beauty lies in the journey.
Don’t Settle
We settle for contentment but strive to be the best we were meant to be
No one can promise you tomorrow, be grateful you see it in the morning.
Speak my truth, then let go of the outcome
My motto for 2013 will be to be myself, and do my best, but most importantly, just DO!
I’ll also keep in mind my life purpose that I discovered this year: “To bring out the beauty of life through love.” I think the two are broad enough to encompass all I do but still inspiring enough to get me through the year, doing all I want to accomplish. =)
Happy New Year!
:dance:
My motto for the new year is to explore, experience, discover, not procatinate, laugh till my belly aches, show compassion, love, care, be happy, look forward to life … make this year, 2013, the best!!
though time to say good-bye to 2012. And when i get married and have kids, im gonna show them the movie 2012 and tell them i survived that like a boss.
My motto for this year is going to at least start as “break out” with the option of changing later. My big goal is to break from my shell that I have constructed around myself and experience more of life. There are too many things I fear that even years ago I was fine with. I need to get over this new found fear of distance driving. I need to continue to meet new people. I need to push myself to move forward in my job and achieve more. I just simply need to break out. Last year started as change, then moved to forward. Now we go with break out.
My motto for 2013 is “Inspire and Empower.” :hug:
By living life in congruent with my values I would experience more self-empowerment and bring other along.
:heart: :hug:
Great question to complete the countdown!
Cheers to everyone and Wishing you all A Very Happy and Inspiring New Year 2013!! :dance: :heart: :D
Excellent Dolly!
Strong and powerful! Best wishes for 2013.
Thanks Bob! Success to you for 2013! :dance: :hug: :heart:
Hi All,
We made it!! :D The challenge is over. Congratulations to All and many thanks to you, Celes, for your great energy, ideas, for your support and for providing the space for sharing and growth!!
I want to share 3 quotes that truly inspire me:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Marianne Williamson
Maturity includes the recognition that no one is going to see anything in us that we don’t see in ourselves. Stop waiting for a producer. Produce yourself.
Marianne Williamson
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Mark Twain
My motto for 2013:
Engage with life and do your best, this is one way trip and you do not know your arrival time; no return, no point to hesitate, regret or feel guilty. Give all you can, all you have, be generous with life and life will be generous with you!! NOW.
Wishing you best year ever!! Feel the power, feel love and stay great. :D :hug:
LOVE,
Paulina
Thanks Paulina for the great reminder that we ‘Stop waiting for a producer. Produce yourself.’
