"Live boldly. Take off those shackles and live life on your own terms."
~Varla Ventura
Have you ever noticed how much we keep ourselves prisoner to our worries and anxieties--all those "what ifs" that we conjure up? Have you noticed that when we focus on what "might" happen, we too seldom focus on the big success we might have? When you allow yourself to be imprisoned by your worries, you absolutely keep yourself from having success. You aren't living fully, and you aren't being yourself.
This week: Focus on what might happen if you took off the shackles of your anxiety, and began to live boldly. Imagine what could happen if you knew you could not fail. Embrace the possibility of living on your own terms. What would be different? Focus on the feeling you get when you are imagining that outcome. Breathe deeply several times. What would be the first thingyou would need to do to begin creating that outcome? Do it!

Thanks, Jessica. I'm actually familiar with Maryann's inspiration--I have a couple of her quotes framed in my office! I bought them as cards and had them framed. "change of any sort requires courage." and "courage doesn't always roar. sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying "i will try again tomrorrow." Clients who visit my office really like them. Be sure to tell her I'm a fan!
