The Road to Lifestyle

We are infinitely more capable than we give ourselves credit for. Yet, our eyes are often set on worry and fear.   It debilitates us, keeps us from moving forward.   It cripples us and robs us of our true destinies.   Per T. Harv Eker in an interview with Success magazine editor, Darren Hardy, "Your mind is nothing more than a survival mechanism; its job is not to make you happy; its job is not to make you successful; its job is to keep you alive." In short, we were designed to be cautious, fearful, and speculative. The beauty is:   we do not need to remain that way! We must simply remember that life is centered on the power of choice.

You can cure fear with action, "...by getting busy on the possible, no matter how impossible it seems." Quotes from Be the Miracle:  50 Lessons for Making the Impossible Possible by Regina Brett

Ro "drove around with a license plate that read:  LUVUALL." She believed "we're all spiritual beings having human experiences, that we're on earth to learn how to love, to take life spiritually, not personally."  "She never stopped teaching." "She was like the grand finale of fireworks." "She was a spirtual superhero.  She walked through walls." "Ro only grew younger as she aged." Her Ro-isms included: "Hard is okay.  You can do hard." "It's not impossible.  It's just life." "If it was supposed to be different, it would be." "Everything is okay.  In this second, everything is perfect." For Ro, "It was never, 'You will be okay.' It was always, 'You are okay." ...It was.  And it is... Excerpts from Be the Miracle:  50 Lessons for Making the Impossible Possible by Regina Brett
