In today’s world, we can find ourselves lost before we know it. When driving, if I ever get talking (whether on the phone or with the person in the car) you can count on me slowing down and speeding up as well as missing my exit. And before I know it, I am like, “where am I?” LOL. Then there is life, and in the craziness of our lives we can get so inundated with activities, work, family items, friends, and whatever else that may take your attention and actions. And before you know it, whatever life course you had in mind, is off course. Sometimes that can be years off course. And you saw it happening, but figured you could navigate back…not realizing you went too far, and it will take more time and effort to get back to the original spot.

You know, you could beat yourself up (shoot you may have done it or are doing it) Yet hey, your’e ok.  Life will still keep moving whether you are on course or not. So, you had other adventures…some you liked, some you did not. Know that you are aware of your position, it is time to take the next step to work towards your goals. I have learned where the best place to is to start…when you come to realize you need to shift…is to…(drum roll)…

Start Where You Are!!!

LOL, it is that simple. You may be right smack dab in the middle of the fire. But there is no better time to get moving out, and then check out where you are…and keep moving. The fire will only burn off the waste. Isn’t that great to think about? Sure people, we want to think that it will burn you…it can, so what? Let’s keep the end in mind and get back to that amazing picture of what your original goals were. Take a moment and visualize the dreams. Take the life lessons and experiences you have had, and refine it. Picture yourself in it and picture yourself smiling, laughing, and enjoying it. Then allow that moment be turned into an action plan of getting to it.

My friends, we are all busy. We are never too busy to stop. Sure we may think we are, but YOU are the most important part of all the stuff that is happening. And it is YOU that can do what it takes to STOP and take back your goals and dreams!

As my uncle once shared with me (while I was pouring out my soul to him about a work situation that had me all hot and bothered), he said, “Don’t share with me the emotions, tell me the facts.” Those words will never leave me, for this is what I use to work through situations. And he boiled it down to show me that ALL that was then, and it is NOW up to me to handle how I would respond to it. Get the emotions out of the way and allow a calm and clear mindset to handle the crisis.

My friends we have what it takes to achieve our desires. The greatness is who we are, and it is greatness that we can use to keep us moving forward.

Take a moment to clear your mind and heart. And then get to designing your game plan to your DREAMS!
