Life is in Session!

I watched a new chick flick last night called “The Switch” where Jennifer Aniston states “Life is in session!” and she’s not prepared to sit on the sidelines any more. This statement was remarkably in alignment with the topic of my fifth newsletter issued yesterday entitled “Just Do It!” For those of you who haven’t yet subscribed to my monthly eNews, follow the link on my website: http://embracinpotential.com.

When it comes to moving forward, it is your fear that you must conquer. Having many experiences with this myself, I know too well how fear can keep you playing small. Another film tackling this theme, released last month, is Eat Pray Love starring Julia Roberts. While the movie doesn’t have near the depth of the amazing memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert, Julia’s three I’s (Italy, India, and Indonesia) provide her with a process to move forward. If you know anything Elizabeth’s journey, it is pretty clear she is now embracing her potential!

I had 3 I’s myself this summer: inactivity, isolation and introspection (more detail in newsletter). They were followed by inspiration and innovation. I could probably come up with other I’s as my creativity has returned and I feel like I’m a writing machine; my point is this: When you find yourself lacking what is necessary to move forward, remember that Life is in Session – it waits for no one. YOU have the power to change your reality but it takes resolve and resilience. The good thing is… it’s all inside you just waiting to be called forth.

Whatever your biggest fear, move through it now. Find people to support you in the process, use all your stores of courage and confidence, and execute your vision of success. I love Robin Sharma’s quote so much I put in on my facebook status this week: "Your next level of excellence is hidden behind your next level of resistence." Overcome the fear and amazing opportunities will open up for you!

A big shout out to all my friends who have moved through their fears and are getting married, getting engaged, and getting it on!! As my happily engaged friend Lynn said: “Life is short ... Live it up, Laugh it up, and most importantly LOVE it up!!
