MAKE A CONSCIOUS CHOICE TO ADVANCE OR STAY PUT: IT IS YOURS TO MAKE

SUCCESS REVERSED:  RE-CALIBRATE
Sometimes, nothing is something

Today's events and occurrences are presenting a lot of incidents that don't match up with what we once called normal.  Many are unsettled and mystified because things aren't what they use to be.  In a frenzy to set things 'right,' many are making spontaneous and unwise decisions.

In my observation, we are in a continuous process of "Redefining Success." While there are pressing matters that could dictate you "do something, anything; I suggest you think again.

There are unexplored areas in your repertoire gifts.  Being busy for busy sake, keeps them unexplored.  Consider  a new definition of success that you define for yourself.  I love to use acronyms and this is no exception. 

Sometimes, nothing is something

S  stop 

U  understand where you have been

C  calibrate where you are

C  consider where you want to go

E  explore all options suspend anxiety of "should"

S  support other in their endeavors

Give yourself the gift of "pondering."  In the meantime, look around to see how you might make small deposits into the lives of others. (No strings attached)  Remember, I said small.  Don't let them dominate your time.  This is not meant to keep you busy; it is meant to keep you engaged.

When the time comes, try something new.  Perhaps you will have transitioned from the comfortable caterpillar to the powerful butterfly that you are.  Perhaps you liked being a caterpillar and will choose to remain in that position.  You have one life to live; live it on your terms.

The Greatest gift is this: you will make a conscious choice to advance or stay put; it is yours to make.  It is my belief that the legacy of a well lived life is no doubts and no regrets.

HERE IS A START:  Just start doing what you love; even if it is fishing, knitting, etc.  The key is to set yourself free.  Who and what you are will come through. It starts with you letting the caterpillar lead the way to the caged up butterfly.  It is your choice.  Do it.  Remember, advice is free and everyone has an opinion; only you can find the song in your life.

A multitude of people can contribute to your choices; only you will EXPERIENCE the consequences.  Choose well, let the choice be yours and regardless of the outcome, there will be no regrets because it was your choice.
