Change

Hello Readers,

I think I have figured out why sometimes we are afraid of change. Change is the unknown and the uncomprehending. If we cannot wrap our hands around what is changing in our lives we tend to panic and become anxious. In actuality the change we are afraid of is not really scary at all. As human beings we have a natural tendency to want to know everything and not be surprised. In essence we want to be prepared for everything. I once heard a phrase that changed my life "there is a blessing in not knowing". Wow! What powerful words. My lesson learned from this is change is good. Just imagine if we did not experience change. For example, we would have the same president, we would wear the same clothes, we eat the same foods, we would visit the same cities, and that could be boring. But Marla, I am not talking about that type of change. I figured someone would say that. Guess what? Change is change (let that sink in for a moment). Change is going to happen whether you want it to or not. The big secret to being afraid of change is this: your response. How we react to the change is going to be the deciding factor. Change is good. The unknown is good. Just sit back, relax, and let change happen. It is well.

DO IT!

Hello Readers,

I know it may sound crazy but…

Have you heard this phrase? Or have you said this phrase in pertaining to something you want? I recently had a conversation with one of my teammates (co-workers) and we were talking about things we love and want to do. My teammate mentioned “this may sound crazy but I really love to decorate”. I mentioned to her that does not sound crazy at all! In fact it sounds like something you should look into immediately! I encouraged her to do some research on it and get moving. Isn’t amazing when we want something, sometimes we are the first person to criticize our want or desire? Why is this? I know I have been guilty of this myself. If you have a desire to do something big or small, then by all means DO IT! I know this may sound cliche and I speak on it in many of my blogs, but I say why not. If you want to have many businesses, DO IT, if you want to have shelter for dogs DO IT, if you want to travel DO IT. I will only say this as a warning, make sure you are doing IT for you and not for anyone else. Your motive has to be pure. Otherwise DO IT and Keep It Moving! Start small and dream BIG! And do not say this is crazy. People who say they want to change the world, are the ones who succeed at doing so!

Decisions

Hello Readers,

Have you ever had to make a very important decision and you knew the answer but it was not what you wanted to do? I had to recently make this type of decision. I knew it was the right thing to do but my emotions wanted something else. I knew if I followed my "emotions" the outcome would not be what I wanted. Here are 5 tips I learned in the process of making this decision and many others in my life:

1. Take your time. Do not rush the process. 

2. Check your emotions and feelings at the door. Most of the time they are not real and they often lead to the wrong decision. Be of a sound mind.

3. That thing called your "gut", trust it. It is that deep feeling you have when you know you are right. It is called intuition.

4. Seek peace. If you have peace about the decision, then you are okay to proceed.

5. Always and I mean always seek wise counsel. No one does anything alone. 

These tips I shared do not mean I get it right each time, we all make mistakes right? I am sharing what I learned in hopes it will help others and that is a good decision.

Another goal accomplished!

Hello Readers,
 
Yes I have accomplished another goal! I have completed my first of many 5k races. I say this not to brag or boast but to encourage. I want to motivate readers all over the world that yes you can achieve what you want to achieve. I am a firm believer in this. Yes of course I was nervous and worried about coming in last, but the in the end all I cared about was finishing. So here is the key message, stop worrying about starting, just start! Get in motion. I put one foot in front of the other and before I knew it I was done! Some of the best advice I have ever received was get in motion and stay in motion. You will eventually finish the race and the great part about finishing one race is you can start another one. What is it you need to start? Write it down and get to it! Start and before you know it you will be done. Remember it is your life to live, so live it!
