Are You Brave Enough to Make Life POP?

Life in today's world is increasingly fragmented. We race from one thing to the next, hardly able to catch our breath, let alone allow ourselves time to really think about the big picture stuff: what we are doing, where we are going, and why we're running in the first place.

Inevitably something starts to niggle. And that niggle gets harder to ignore.

In quiet moments, when we have a chance to stop all the busy-ness and let our mind wander, important messages can finally filter through.

We finally see what's floating around in that bubble over our heads: the unexpressed feeling, the secret dream we've never had the courage to give voice to and explore.

The challenge is, most people don't have a clue where to start.

Sometimes we are forced into awareness: we get sick, get fired or have a relationship fall apart. For those who don't get stuck in the almost inevitable shock or fear, this is an opportunity to hit re-start.

But why wait until something as drastic as that happens, when you can start right now?

Breakthroughs happen when you take the time to break things down.

Really allow yourself to explore if you're in alignment: is what you are doing, where you are heading and how you are contributing to the world matching/overlapping with your talents, passions, values and skills? That's the only way to get clear about what you want to contribute and how. The next step is learning how to express that to the world.

A word of warning: the brain is hard-wired to take shortcuts and follow the familiar route. If you don't take the time, make the effort and make it a priority, you will fall back into the old patterns and habits that feel as good as putting on a comfortable old pair of shoes.

And you will watch that bubble, that dream, that opportunity float away from you.

So now is the perfect time to make life pop - start living the life you really want. That little whisper inside deserves to be heard, revealed and realized.
