Live Your Strongest Life

Little Jennifer,

In life, we find our strengths in the smallest details of everyday life. Allow your strengths to show up, to come through. Every day, get up, suit up and show up for your life. Be in attendance in your own life journey. If you're not in the driver's seat, who's driving? Why are you being led?

"A lesson from Suzane L. Taylor:

I WILL: CLAIMING OUR POWER TO CHOOSE.

We must refuse to see ourselves as victims, no matter what challenges we face. We are not limited by racism, sexism, ageism or any abuse that may have occurred in our lives. No challenge can diminish our spirit, nothing is more powerful than a mind made up.

The simple declaration, "I Will," is the beginning of all our triumphs."

Develop your life such that even your everyday actions infuse you with energy rather than drain you. Susan Choi once said: We should patiently tease apart the many strands of our daily existence, distinguishing those that actually make us happy.. from those that we have to eliminate as soon as we can.

Refuse to have a bad day, ever. Your strongest life consists of making a clear, BOLD strategy for your future. Do not half step in this area. Don't be afraid to envision your best life ever. Promise and plan out a beautiful, magnificent, prosperous life for you and your family. You deserve it. Yes you do.

Do the best you can and leave the rest to the universe. Trust in the process which you cannot control or ordain. As long as you have the best of intentions for your life, God and the whole universe will conspire to see that you flourish.

Always do the best you can with what life has dispensed to you, for now. And now is all you have. At each phase of your life you must emerge victorious and ready for the next cycle. Don’t hang on to your life phases. Let go and see what happens. Allow the future to come into your life. Bid it a full-sized, loving Bienvenue!

Always be learning or teaching. Be of some service, no matter how simple, to humanity, to a group, to someone. Your own life should offer you great life lessons. However, you have to be willing to deeply examine yourself. Harbor no regrets; instead, love your mistakes. Be willing to value your bloopers, this in turn helps you understand and appreciate yourself. Syphon the lessons out of your faults or blunders, then keep on stepping audaciously... brave, solid, gallant steps, head held up high, big confident smile.

Living a strong life may sometimes mean putting on a brave face. It may mean faking it ‘til you make it. There's nothing wrong with that.

Courage, like Fear is a habit. ~Tony Robbins

Living a strong life has a lot to do with how you perceive yourself, how you define yourself. You cannot let anyone determine or regulate who you are. That's a cheap cop out. It's a defeated way of saying to yourself, "Oh well! I can't help it. I am this way because of what so and so did to me, because they said I was a ....."

Listen to me Kadudu, Not your parents, not your mentors, not your therapist, not your peers, not society, not your partner.....nobody determines your character. You have to be self-made. The danger in relying on others to design you is that your life turns at their every whim.

We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces; we’ve become the powerful force ourselves. ∞ Leo Buscaglia.

What you can do, is derive from life’s best exemplars. Look around you for every day heroes. Look in the papers and magazines for ordinary people doing extra-ordinary stuff. Look at your own family members who are striving and thriving. What are they doing right? Believe in yourself and know in your heart that every day gets you closer and closer to your dream life. Funny, if you think about it: If you’re headed towards the life you’ve dreamed of, if everything you’re doing right now is a means to an end (dream life), then, aren’t you living the dream already?

LIVE STRONG MY DARLING!
