You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.
— Zig Ziglar (A highly successful motivational speaker who knows his stuff when it comes to the process of winning)
I went through a particularly bad break up (many years ago now thank goodness) that stopped me dead and surprisingly led to a major life breakthrough. I decided to make huge commitments to myself, with bigger goals than ever before and I followed through on them each and every day. I ended up having the best four years of my career and meeting the love of my life. Above all, I feel more personally fulfilled than I imagined possible. My favourite therapist would say that’s because I now have my own back, all the way. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO

Determined to learn...
If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you.
If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.
— Zig Ziglar (American author, salesman and very successful motivational speaker. Ziglar wrote over 30 books. See You at the Top, published in 1975, was his first and is still in print today).
Ziglar talks a lot about motivation and how people say it doesn’t last. Ziglar says we need to go a step further and create daily habits to get us where we want to go. Apparently, even just writing down our dreams can help. Just sayin’ :) Hugs.

The new normal...
Obstacles do not block the path, they are the path.
— Unknown
They say we should expect the unexpected, that change is inevitable and that life is what happens when we’re making plans. Perhaps we should also expect to feel uncomfortable and shaken up once in a while. Maybe it’s completely normal, and totally okay, to be thrown off our game. They also say these times allow us to grow and evolve for the better, for a better life. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs. XO

When to walk away...
One of the hardest decisions you’ll ever face in life is
choosing whether to walk away or try harder.
— Unknown
My last relationship was pretty nice. We treated each other well, we were wonderful friends and we had some fun. My earlier experiences were tumultuous and stressful, so I thought this was great progress. After a time, I waved a few flags, thinking no relationship is perfect. One or two flags became more pronounced and still I waved them off. In truth, I wasn’t sure a better quality relationship existed. I grew up in world war three, with parents who had very little in common and who didn’t particularly seem to like one another. Actually, all of my relationships seemed pretty decent compared to what I grew up with. Crappy thing is, while I was having this inner discussion, I was blindsided. I took too long and the decision was made for me. Just sayin’!

Unnecessary arguments...
I’m at the stage in my life where I keep myself out of unnecessary arguments,
so even if you tell me 1 + 1 = 5, you’re absolutely correct,
Enjoy!
— Unknown
I have to admit, I generally resist engaging in those prickly, charged discussions as well. My favourite therapist says that our conditioning from childhood sets us up for “truths” that we cling to, unless life experience challenges what we “know”. (I’m paraphrasing of course). Thing is, some of our long held beliefs may actually hold us hostage. In my experience, it takes the desire and a lot of effort, time and money to overcome some of those ingrained and unhealthy patterns. On the up-side, the view on the other side is gleaming and cozy cozy. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO

Clear your path...
Not all storms come to disrupt your life.
Some come to clear your path.
— Unknown
My worst storms have brought the most monumental and beautiful changes. I resisted and fought those changes. Thank goodness I didn’t have a choice at the time because I have been sooooo happy with my new life. In other words, we may not always know what’s best for us. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs. XO

Let life happen...
You can’t control everything. Sometimes you just need to relax and have faith things will work out.
Let go a little and let life happen.
— Unknown
I love the idea of living in the moment, as Ekhart Tolle suggests (The Power of Now and A New Earth). I seem to need regular reminders though, and even still, I find myself worrying about the inevitable unknowns. Perhaps discomfort is just a normal part of life. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs. XO
