Glimpse 4 - Strategic, aHa moments

There are moments in every lifetime where in just a matter of seconds, everything changes. And I do mean everything.

Someone dies, is asked to marry, is asked for divorce, finds out they are pregnant, are told they have cancer. Perhaps it is; loses a job, gets a huge promotion, starts a business, goes back to school, loses weight, stops smoking, eats healthier, gets a flat tire, overhears gossip...

Whatever it is, there are these aHa! moments in our reality when we strategically define and re-define ourselves or let something that seems bigger than us, define us for us. Our attitudes, our actions and our outcomes are determined by our choices.

Which reality will I choose in my next aHa moment? The one that empowers me and keeps me from the abyss or the one that throws me deep inside it? I've done both. Both work. Both are places I've been in. Either way, the choice is mine and in truth, it is all good. For wherever I am, I am. Knowing what my intention for my life is, truly helps me keep my focus and empowers me daily to continue on, no matter what.

Each day, we get up, we have opportunities before us in how and what we listen to, learn from, groove with, move forward with or towards -- respond or react to (there is a difference)... each day is full of moments that are either flowing with what we want or interupting our lives in self or socially perceived positive or negative fashions to create those aHa moments... Keep clear your intentions for yourself, find your focus and... what's most important, in my glimpse this morning, is for all of us to understand that seeing, hearing or knowing a part or all of anything and what we feel/think or do about it, is up to each of us.

Groove on oh mighty warriors - we all have what it takes - some just don't know it yet.
