Moving Forward with Confidence and Power

This weekend I was blessed to spend it with friends and family. Watching a loving family interact at a wonderful event like a wedding was just inspiring. To see the love that each had for the other. Brothers, sister, fathers, mothers, cousin and friends all together in a spirit of love and support for one another. Too often we get mired down in our own little world to really experience that blessings we have right in front of us. So why don't we do this all the time?

The thought I have today is this: How do you move forward in your life after experiencing difficulty, pain, loss or hurt? What can you do to help yourself move forward?

First thing is to accept it. That's right accept it. It happened, its over with now accept it and know there is nothing you can or are going to do to change it. As I just love to say... "It is what it is".

Next we have just got to get over it. Why? Because again, nothing we can do about the past. We can only control our future. Are you going to relive those hurts, pains, disappointments over and over again? Why put yourself through that? Self flagellation hurts!

Finally decide what you want for your future. What does tomorrow look like? Is it a day you want to live in? What good can you put into the day, the week, the month? Decide what you want your life to look like and make life give it to you. Do you have some goals for the week? How about the day? I wake every morning and try to sit on my patio and pray, look at what yesterday was like. I figure what was good yesterday and what I want to change for today. Journal... This allows you to get out all the junk. We all have it, that junk in the trunk of our mind.

Are you setting daily objectives for your self? Too often we set BHAG's. We set those BIG HAIRY AUDACIOUS GOALS for our self but neglect to look at what we have to do today. One step into the future. The next action, then the next, then the next... Planning is a dirty word to so many yet so many fail to plan. While we fail to plan I really don't think anyone plans to fail.

Are you setting your daily direction? If not, why not? Do you need help and accountability? Get it!

Live your life with passion and a clear direction.
