The Scariest Thing of All


To many the most frightening thing to do is make a choice. We ask ourselves: What if I’m wrong? What if I fail? What if people think I’m stupid? What if I get hurt?
 
Face that fear.  Feel that fear and then doing it anyway!  You cannot grow unless you are willing to take a risk and move forward.  I told an audience of accountants this weekend, “When you are clear about your vision and it is backed up by a solid commitment, your choices will be made simple. They will be logical.”


"The third key to a successful execution of your vision is choice. Each day, you make hundreds of choices. With a heightened level of consciousness, you become aware that every single choice you make either brings you closer to or further away from your vision. It’s a lot of responsibility, and isn’t it great? Remember back in step two, you accepted responsibility for creating the current reality that you don’t like? You also accepted responsibility for the power you have to create a spectacular new reality where you are embracing your potential. Every moment, you get to choose, so choose wisely. With every choice that is in alignment with your vision you’ll feel it. And it will feel awesome!"

On Hallowe’en, let the Trick or Treaters be the scariest thing in your life.  Consider all the possibilities when you let go of the fear that has been holding you back and choose, instead, to Embrace Your Potential!

Have a spooktacular day!

Post 101: Express Your Passion and Purpose

I am excited to be writing a speech that I will deliver on Saturday evening for a new class of graduates.  Pumped by the sense of accomplishment following years of dedication and sacrifice, the audience will be ripe for words of encouragement to embrace their potential.

The timing really can’t be better.  While the uncertainty of the future may be a little scary to some, it is a wonderful opportunity to chart a brand new course, fuelled by passion and directed by purpose.  When you are given the chance to start over – whether it comes at graduation or retirement, when first become parents or send your kids off to college, when you get engaged or divorced – you have a brilliant opportunity to create a whole new world for yourself. 

In the soon-to-be-released book, “Freeing Godiva: A Woman’s Journey to Self-Empowerment”, I write about Living in Possibility and how you must believe in an empowered future in order to create one:

Living in possibility is feeling empowered to create something new every day that is in alignment with your core values and your personal vision of success. Living in possibility is about feeling empowered to contribute your unique talents and gifts and to inspire others to do the same. With deliberate intent, you will attract opportunities that were not previously available to you. This lifestyle is grounded in gratitude, integrity, and faith and it will yield tremendous success, as you define it. This definition of success is an expression of your passion and your purpose; it is what drives you to greatness. By living in possibility, you will build the confidence to Embrace Your Potential every day.

This is my core message regardless of my audience.  As I address this new graduating class, I will speak also with those who are there to support their continued growth and development.  This message is universal and it applies to you, too! Express your passion and purpose! Here’s to Living in Possibility!

I invite you to visit my new-and-improved website to pre-order the book now and learn about other services that I offer. 
Yours in Possibility,

Lisa
