Listen to that nagging voice that tells you to put down the phone, stop working so much or spend quality time with your family. Listen to the wisest voices that plead with you to follow your dreams, reach for the stars, and be all you can be. Tune in to that voice that tells you, “It’s time.” Time to leave your abusive relationship, walk away from the business that has kept you trapped for years or to stop being satisfied with mediocre because you’re too afraid to do better.
Listen to the voices of those around you who know you best, love you the most and dare to speak their truths. Look for the wisdom in their feedback. Stop defending against them and tune in. Hear their complaints as guideposts for your growth. Courageously acknowledge the truth in what others have to say about how you’re falling short. Filter their messages with your wisest, most humble self . . . and . . . don’t ignore their voices.
You have one life to live. Are you truly living the life you want to live or are you complacently settling in to the life you’ve fallen into? One of the biggest regrets expressed by people on their deathbeds is that they didn’t live the life they wanted. Many of them put their lives on hold for their loved ones, stayed in miserable marriages for their religious beliefs or worked their fingers to the bone only to realize all their work left them lonely and without true connections. Learn from their experiences. Learn well before you land on your deathbed.
Life is about living. Stand in your power. Listen to the wisest voices within you and surrounding you. Allow those voices to lead you to a greater life than you ever thought possible. Let go of the fears that stop you, the expectations that trap you and the habits that bind you. Dare to listen to those voices inside you that tell you to SOAR. Tap into that part of you that is courageous enough to do what is necessary to make your dreams a reality. Tune into the wisest voice within you and trust that it knows what is best for you. You deserve a great life—listen to the voice that will lead the way to creating it.
Challenge: Stop listening to the voices of doubt, angst and fear. Start listening to the voices of hope, inspiration and dreams. You deserve a great life—find the courage to go after it.
