THE ENLIGHTENED PATH

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. — Marianne Williamson

Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment. — Baltasar Gracián

You won’t be successful by accepting to do tasks you don’t enjoy (no matter how good you are at them), and you certainly won’t be any happier.

Keep growing your natural strengths and abilities by choosing to do only those things which “juice” you.

Pitcher Plant Bud -- Another View

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful that the risk it took to blossom. — Anaïs Nin

This metaphor can be applied for so many different aspects of our lives. I use it as a powerful image for change in my business.

Holding yourself back hurts you more than it keeps you safe. What are you waiting for?

soft as a cloud

Words I need to keep repeating to myself:

The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won’t keep. Something must be done about them. — Alfred North Whitehead

If you lose the power to laugh, you lose the power to think. — Clarence Darrow

Laugh a little… No wait, let me rephrase that… Laugh a LOT! Your brain will thank you!

Not everything that counts can be counted; and not everything that can be counted counts. — Albert Einstein

Your business is so much more than just about how much money is coming in or how many clients you have.

Think about everything else that can’t be quantified, things that make being a home-based business professional worth more than all the money in the world!

Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow. — Plato

I tend to get discouraged with my own slow pace. There’s so much I want to accomplish and so little time.

What I’ve come to appreciate is that I AM taking small steps. I AM making progress. I AM making things happen. Maybe not as quickly as I’d like. Maybe I’m not making as much noise as I know I can.

But you know what? I’m OK with that. As long as I keep the momentum going, things will work out.

Never compare yourself to others. Not everyone is in the same situation as you.

If you’re able to make great strides in your business, don’t judge those who aren’t moving at the same speed.

Keep taking one step at a time, and don’t ever stop! You’re exactly where you should be!

To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act. — Anatole France

If you’re an idea generator like me, it’s easy to get stuck in ‘dream’ mode. But the longer I do this, the more I realize all my ideas are completely worthless if I don’t DO anything about them!

What will you do today to act on your dreams? Make it happen!

We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same. — Carlos Casteneda

If your business is making you miserable, spend your energy into making yourself strong instead of wasting it on trying NOT to be miserable!

Ain’t it funny how one small word changes everything?
