Success comes in CANS, not CANTS!

“Argue for your limitations and sure enough they’re yours.” -Richard Bach

What’s on your wish list? Is it a thriving career? A special relationship? Maybe travel? Peace? Fitness? Joy? What are all the reasons you can’t achieve what you’re longing for?

Have you ever tried listing the reasons why you CAN? I’m willing to bet there are just as many. I’m not here to sell anyone the illusion that temporary hurdles don’t exist, but success comes in cans, not can’ts. I promise if you take even 60 seconds to write down the reasons you CAN achieve what you aspire for, your perspective will begin to change. (Now, imagine if you put that into practice daily.)

Interesting fact: Physiologically, our brains don’t distinguish between thoughts linked to actual circumstances and thoughts that are self generated.

You can literally program your mind with the empowering thoughts that will lead to empowering action!

Remember: Contemplate the CANS!

Your place in the world

“The most blissful place to inhabit is that space where your specific gifts are used to meet the needs of the world.” – Me

Are you following your bliss? What brings you joy? What is it that you absolutely love to do? What comes NATURALLY to you? The answers to these questions may point you to your natural, God-given gifts. “Skills” are very different from gifts. While “skills” can be learned, “gifts” are NATURAL and INHERENT.

Too often we find ourselves “going through the motions” of the lives we’ve fallen INTO rather than designing the lives we can fall IN LOVE WITH! This often happens because we dutifully deliver the world a healthy daily dose of whatever “skills” we’ve acquired during our time on earth, but when misaligned, they aren’t infused with the same organic passion that comes with capitalizing on our GIFTS!

Pause: Have the courage to dream for a few minutes about what life would look like if what you did for a living was in DIRECT alignment with your gifts.

Now consider: Can you make that happen? What if you could?

(Following MY bliss involved founding Thrive Consulting, my life coaching practice, where I partner with clients to transform their lives into the ones they’ve previously only imagined.)

Your future

“If you want to succeed in your life, remember this phrase. The past does not equal The future. Because you failed yesterday; or all day today, or a moment ago, or for the last six months; the last 16 years, or the last fifty years of life doesn’t mean anything…All that matters is what are you going to do, Right Now.” -Anthony Robbins

“Your past is not your potential. In any hour you can choose to liberate the future.” -Marilyn Ferguson

I don’t know about you, but I love knowing that if today just totally STINKS so far, I CAN START MY DAY (or my LIFE!) OVER AT ANY TIME!!!

What do you need to start over today? Take a breath and do it.

The clean slate is yours for the taking!
