What if, just for a change, you BELIEVED you could change?  What if you chose to buck the failure statistics of New Year's Resolutions.  How would your life be different?  Consider this as January comes to a close and the New Year morphs into This Year. 

You can be open to possibilities, if you choose to be open.  It is not the possibilities that are lacking but our willingness to accept that things we desire are truly possible.  A wise man once said, if you can dream it you can achieve it.  As a creator of  THE Magical Kingdom, Walt Disney, knows a thing or two about believing, dreaming and possibilities.  I believe that as long as we are breathing anything is possible.  Those burning desires that can keep us up at night or send us into a daydream in the middle of a board room meeting are the tale tale signs of our natural inclination to grow.  A Human beings natural drive to have, be or do more with our lives. 

Luckily, I am in the midst of making my own dreams a reality.  This time has been both exhilarating and challenging but I know that it is truly for the best.  I am excited to be able to help others find and embrace their own paths.  It has always been important for me to help people feel comfortable and happy in their own skin.  To me, there can be no greater gift to the world than to be your personal best - no matter what that looks like.  The trick then is discovering, after years of turning your dreamer off, how to stay open to new possibilities.
 
 
A client of mine was fussing over making what seemed from the outside to be a very simple decision.  He is a very intelligent man, he's well respected, his clients pay him handsomely for his advice and yet here he was faltering over a single choice.  As I reminded him of this he smiled and said he didn't want to make the wrong choice since the item he was purchasing would be with him for a long time.  I assured him that he could always purchase something else if this didn't turn out to be what he wanted but that either way he had to make his own choice.

The heart of the issue wasn't what he was purchasing as much as the fact that he was able to make the purchase.  As we grow and become more successful we end up having more and more choices available to us and with that freedom can sometimes come a weighted sense of responsibility.  Like someone who's gone out drinking (for the 1st time) on their 21st birthday we can feel overwhelmed.  Worried that we get it "right" we sample everything in site, get caught up in the rush and decide we have to have it all right now and then wake up in the morning with a horrible hangover. 

The trick is to realize that as long as you are breathing - anything is possible.  Most, if not all, of our decisions can be changed if needed.  So, it is up to us to make the best decision for us, for where we are at the time, with the information we have before us.  Since there are endless possibilities for how life will look five years from now, let alone five minutes from now, sometimes it is best to just close your eyes, go with our gut and leap before we look.
