Be the hero in your story.

imagine driving while you're asleep. Not smart, right? And yet many of us are asleep at the wheel of our own life. Like it or not you're in the drivers seat of your life, so wake up! Really. Our parents stopped driving us around along time ago!

Our mind is a like a time machine. It can transport us into the past or an imagined future. It's fun to go there, sometimes. But life our life is happening right now, in this moment. If you're addicted to worry or a victim of your past, get out of your mind (the time machine) and into your body. Your body is always located in the here and now. Breathe...inhale, exhale, ahhhh.

We knew how to say NO! when we were two. It was one of our first and favorite words. Why? Because it is powerful. An honest 'no' is more respectful than a dishonest 'yes'. Being nice so that other people will like you is a clue that you don't really like yourself that much. Learning to say no means we value ourselves, our time and other people. When you can honestly say no, you are free.

Actually you don't have a choice, you're the boss whether you want the job or not. Every moment you are at choice about how you respond. We can decide someone or something else has control over us. That's a belief that we're choosing and from that choice we respond. Lazy people let others decide for them. If they don't like what they get, they get to blame someone else. No fear of failure. Conscious choice creates more of what we what.
