What do you think? I think you must first start from a point where you begin to ask yourself, "what do I want from this life?" This is your ground work or your foundation. Then the building block would be, "what action are you going to take to get that from life?" Then to take that action. This can sound so simple, yet can be met with so much fear and misunderstanding. Maybe you know exactly what it is that you would like to do, but have been told you just wont make it. Or some other rendition of that scenario. This is most often fear based. Fear of success, fear of failure, fear of the unknown, fear of...whatever! Can you identify any fears you have right now?
When I feel that fear is making a big impact in my life, I like to squish it! First step is to realize there is a fear, in a relationship it could be fear that the mate will leave, in business it could be fear that you don't have what it takes to maintain success, as long as you realize that there is an underlying fear. After I realize that fear has shown its ugly eyes, then I attempt to find the root of this fear. Now for me I personally like to lay in a quiet spot. I prefer to meditate while laying on the floor with my palms up. You could find what works for you. Put that fear in your head and see where you feel the fear on your body. Recently I was faced with a lay off from my job. My world was spinning, and I could be positive, but still didn't quite understand what the Universe had in store. So I laid on the floor and placed my hand on my heart. This is how I connect with my heart space. As I did this I felt my world calm down and peace enter my head. I let the calm take over me, its what I needed. And then I heard the beautiful voice of intuition helping me find gratitude.
Gratitude is such a simple thing. It is all around us as well, if we choose to look for it. Gratitude can be something as simple as just being thankful for the day. Find joy and peace in everything. Coming from a place of gratitude means that new doors will open up for you in many avenues. You need to get in the practice of doing this everyday. Practice gratitude daily.Once you practice gratitude daily the action steps will be a lot clearer. Find gratitude in all areas of your life and you will easily find the action steps in your life.
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." John F. Kennedy
