Working towards what you want, is the exhilarating part. Think about how often you feel so good when you’ve worked hard at something and then received the result. But was it the actual result? Or could it be all the experiences you had along the way? I believe in order to really love something we have to believe we earned it. That’s where true value and appreciation come in. And this becomes our memories. Plus, before you know it, you’re on to the next project or task, all the while thinking it’s for the result you’re after.

So often we look at what is and if we don’t like ‘what is’ we can feel disempowered. But you are not. You can have what you want. The roadblocks can trip you up though, which is why it’s important to have a vision of where you want to be. Take the big picture and break it up into tiny achievable steps.This is what empowerment means. You are the captain of your ship. You are where you are, and that’s just fine. You have to be somewhere right? There’s no benefit in blaming anyone or figuring out why. Begin again, right where you are.
