Sunsets

When you look at this photo, what comes to mind?


When I first saw this, all I wanted to do was pack a bag and ride off down that white line straight into the light.  First instincts are strong and generally right.  What is it that makes us dream about new places and ideas?  What is it that keeps us "chained" to the old ones?

As I M.O.V.E. forward into a new job and new mindsight I had to sit down and take stock of my mind set.  Most of us tend to take things at face value.  When you look at this picture- is the sun coming up or going down?  It's all in how you look at it.

I see both.  My sunset is an old job, previous expectations and blindly stumbling on a trail that others have set for themselves but is not right for me.  My sunrise is a new job, creating and reaching goals that I have set for myself and following the path that God has recently set me on.

What are you facing- a sunset or a sunrise?  Decide today and begin to M.O.V.E. towards making your life spectacular!

Kindsight

Ever regretted a decision that you made?  

I have and it made me so angry every time I thought about what the decision cost me (emotionally). Every time I turned around I uncovered another solution to the problem than I had thought of before.

Here's a suggestion to keep you moving forward Instead of wallowing in regret or hindsight: start using kindsight.

Kindsight is looking at things from a more forgiving light.  Instead of asking yourself, "Why did I do something so stupid?" pose the question "What did I learn from this?" instead.

Each decade that you enter (and leave) will share new lessons with you.  I can honestly say that I love the decade that I am currently in!

You could not pay me to relive a decade over because every lesson I learned turned me into the person that I am today.- stronger, more compassionate, wiser and more focused on others.

Hindsight may be the recognition of realities or possibilities of a situation after its occurrence; but kindsight is the compassionate and gracious ability to recognize a positive thing after it occurs.  There should never be a harsh criticism against being a compassionate and gracious human being.  Changing the world starts with you and if you are viewing your mistakes and past with rose-colored glasses, you are more inclined to view others the same way.

As you begin to M.O.V.E. (previous posts), you have to include a healthy dose of forgiveness at every turn.  You will have to forgive your family and friends that criticize you uninvited.  The person you will have to forgive the most though is yourself.

You are your harshest critic.  When you decide to do something, you will.  When you decide you can't do something, you won't.  While you should always have a Justice League to swoop in and rescue you when things get too rough, always reserve the Superman spot for yourself.

Don't rely on others to constantly boost you up, be your cheerleader, create a defense strategy and ultimately make sure your awesomeness is transmitted throughout the universe.  Be your own cheerleader!  Remind yourself daily- AWESOME ends with Me!

What do you need to view with more kindsight?  Want to develop your kindsight?  Need to feel more AWESOME?  Want to know how to M.O.V.E.?
Let me know and I'll help get you started!

Evolution

I love chaos.  

Not because of the disorder, confusion and mess.  No, I love chaos because it shows that change is occurring.  Most people don't like change.  I know that change is inevitable.  When you stay stagnant, you aren't growing and nothing can evolve.  

When you choose to M.O.V.E., you start Mending your body, mind and spirit; Optimizing your resources and Value your worth.  That tends to create chaos somewhere in your life. If you are embracing the change, it may not cause chaos with you, but with those that are closest to you.

In spite of the issues surrounding your shift, you still need to shift towards the last step of M.O.V.E...

Evolve into your promise.

Evolve is a verb meaning to develop or change gradually from a simple to a complex form.  The only human being you have full control over is yourself.  When you look around and everything is in chaos and what you are doing isn't working, the only thing to do is change yourself.  The process of that evolution changes who and what you are- generally making you strong enough for the road ahead of you.  Just because you don't know what lies ahead of you, doesn't mean you shouldn't strive to be better.

 The lists you've made and the positivity steps you've taken should help you as you are networking.  Your truth lies in front of you.  Are you ready to dive in, shift and M.O.V.E. towards something great?  If you are, let me know so I can share the next networking and strategy session with you. As Oprah Winfrey once said, "The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person that you were intended to be."  Who do you want to be?
