Good Morning. Here is a great thought for the day: No more. Now what? You can only do so much! When asked to do something, do you open a jam-packed calendar to squeeze one more thing into an already over-scheduled life? Before we can create new dreams we need to make room for them. Is it time to give up something you have outgrown? Are you ready to quit something that is no longer true for you and that no longer nurtures or fulfills you? When your kids need you or you are under a deadline at work, you don't always have a choice. But when offered a choice, if you are invited to do something that you don't have to do or don't want to do, consider saying, "No, thank you." Clear away some clutter to make room for new dreams. As you say, "no more" to what's no longer true for you, to those activities, habits, even relationships that are not aligned with how you want to live your life, you make room to ask, "Now what?" With newfound friends, energy and time, what would you say yes to? What would you say "more" to? What dreams would you now schedule into your life? While helping people create or discover new dreams, two of my favorite words are, "What else?" What else would bring you more joy and fulfillment, what else would bring you more passion and energy, what else would have you feel aligned with your purpose? With a little breathing space, you can add things to your life that matter to you, make you happy, and are aligned with your purpose. Imagine how your life will change when some day soon, you open your calendar to find inspiring projects that progress your most heartfelt goals. That would be a dream come true life.
"Each morning is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When the sun rises tomorrow this day will be gone forever, in its place will be something you have left — may it be something good. Follow your heart, it knows what to do."
