Love is in the Air

This is a week to celebrate love. It started with Valentine’s Day on Sunday. Family Day, a new holiday in Canada, was Monday. Today is Pancake Day and the children and I are off to see Nanny and Poppy for another celebration of family togetherness. Do I need these calendar entries to remind me to demonstrate my love or to spend quality time with my kids or parents? I can say ‘no’ because being present with my family is part of my vision of success that I have been executing for a number of years now.

Imagine a world where every day was Valentine’s Day… full of love and chocolate!! Imagine a world where every day was Family Day. How would your world be different? (I’m truthfully not really interested in a world where every day in Pancake Day, but if it works for you, go for it!)

The truth is that YOU have control over your world. You have control over the choices you make: how you spend your time and with whom. You have the power to create and execute your vision of success. It takes foresight, discipline, and motivation to live in possibility.

On Sunday and Monday this week, I created space in my day to express my love and share one-on-one time with those most important to me. We had fun; we laughed and we cried. We talked; we listened. We made connections that help to shape the future of our relationships. We set a foundation upon which to build a secure future.

I believe the greatest gift we can bestow on our loved ones is the gift of our authentic selves, true and present. I chose to spend those days giving my loved ones the gift of my time and attention. I chose to Embrace my Potential.

Did I really need a special occasion to do this? No. I plan to do this every day. Lesson Learned.
