Be Amazing

Here's to my first blog entry on this site, thought I would begin with some thoughts from an e mail that was forwarded to me today by a dear friend .

Daily Motivator http://www.greatday.com/

"You don't know for certain what will happen tomorrow, or even later today. So stop fighting against it and don't waste your life with worry about what might or might not be.
Be okay with what will come, and you'll be able to handle it. You'll even discover some pleasant surprises" Ralph Marston

We waste a lot of energy when we focus our thoughts on anything beyond the present moment. I am really trying to internalize this. It is hard sometimes when you have a lot of things on the go. The other day was a great example. Sometimes when we have a big day ahead of us, we get worried about getting through it all, getting it all done on time and well - clients, kids to the dentist, dog to the vet, healthy dinner to create...but when you are okay with it all you handle it. When you stop fighting and resisting you just seem to go through it quite easily. When I allow myself to go through all my days easily, surprises do happen along the way - time for pleasant and meaningful conversations, insights received from someone who knows something I do not ("never leave a person without learning something new" - Robin Sharma) and time for smiles, laughter and appreciation.

Slowing down and focusing on what matters most and what energizes me is an intention I have set. I want to experience life deeply, I do not want to simply skim the surface of it.

"I will not die and unlived life..."

Even so, I will still have crazy, busy, back to back days. Perhaps less than I used to now that I have set the intention but if I can be okay with it all, not fight any of it, not worry about how it will all get done it will be more than okay it will be amazing...I just know.
