As this year comes to a close, I am reminded of a conversation that I had recently that brought to light an essential awareness: the awareness of distractions.
The distractions that quietly, and sometimes loudly, pull us away from living our next level, our highest expression, our best life.
This awareness invites some powerful questions to consider:
What is keeping me from living my best life?
What feels like it is blocking me from living my highest potential?
What is distracting me from living fully, freely and completely?
These are important questions to ask, especially as we are rising, elevating, and taking our lives to the next level. And when I say “the next level”, I mean the very top. The tippity top. Mastery at its finest.
This level of mastery asks us to identify that which is no longer a match for the life we are saying “yes” to.
It asks us to look honestly at what no longer aligns with the truth– that we are born for more, that something greater is calling us forward.
This does not mean dropping everything all at once. That approach rarely works. And yet, it does invite us into a gentle, systematic exploration:
What are the things that are no longer in alignment?
What simply does not fit any longer?
What are the distractions that are standing in the way of what is next?
What is simply ready to be released?
So where do we begin?
We begin by asking the questions. By being willing to look. By allowing ourselves to see what is here for us – to rise above and move beyond.
If we had to guess, if we were open and honest, what do we think has been keeping us from living our best life?
Make a list.
Many times, the answers appear to be external. A person. An experience. A history. A pattern. A result. A condition. Sometimes it looks monetary. We often give our power away to what we believe is holding us back.
And yet, if we truly look, something profound is revealed.
The BIG reveal and surprise for many is the discovery that at the end of the day, we are the only ones who can keep ourselves from living our highest self.
Yes, there are conditions.
Yes, there are circumstances we live within.
And yet, at the core of it all, we are the captains of our ship. We are the ones who decide whether we continue in the same direction or choose a new course.
This is what I know for sure: Each of us has the power to change, transform, and transcend anything and everything. And it begins from within.
Elevating yourself elevates everything in your life.
It begins right here.
It begins right now.
And it does not have to be hard.
In fact, it can be very simple.
It starts with recognizing the belief that anything outside of you has power over you. This is where we begin. By checking in with our beliefs. By questioning the belief that any condition, circumstance, or experience could keep us from living our best life.
Today is the day.
Today is the day you reign supreme.
Today is the day you decide.
Today is the day you choose whether you are going for it.
Are you willing to elevate yourself to the next level that is already here for you to step into?
Tap into the power within you. The power of you. That power I know to be true.
So much more is on its way.
I celebrate with you even now, because I know the truth.
Genius resides within you.
The power is here for you.
And you hold the keys.
I celebrate with you, even now.
Cheers and Ta’dah!
