Hey everybody. Thought I would just drop in and share a few ideas I use to get through these days. I talk a lot about living your life the way you dreamed you would and how living your Legacy Life is brilliant. So, here are a few thoughts that came to mind today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I see it reality is crazy these days for most of us. The weather has gone crazy (well at least here since summer has not hit yet), a lot of people are still feeling some sort of isolation, and well dreams are for some taking the backseat to reality of emergencies popping up from out of nowhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have found that if I am just prepared a little bit by making sure I have the tools to take things on  like enough sleep and plenty of healthy snacks, an idea of where I am going each day then I am at least somewhat in control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know, I know we never know exactly 100% of what is coming our way and we cannot predict when crazy things will join us on our journey but\u2026. If we are at least prepared some then things will be just a little easier when the shit hit the fan\u2026 and it will \u2013 Murphy\u2019s law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some ideas to help you out and to be prepared a bit for when things \u201ccome up\u201d unexpectedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Be willing to switch directions<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Know that you are very capable of change. I know I know change is hard, even for the best of humans, but when it happens, just know it is part of the plan and go with it! Who knows you might just build some amazing memories this way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Say Yes as often as possible<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are always opportunities to learn, grow and reach your desired goals and dreams. However, you must remember to say yes to opportunities (even if they are a bit off the beaten path). Trust your instincts and go for it. You never know you might just find out that you are moving towards your ideal legacy life a bit faster or smarter with what you learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Don\u2019t rush<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are like me or a lot of other humans I know, you probably want to be where you want to be right now, and I mean RIGHT NOW. But I am here to remind you that sometimes you MUST just sit back take inventory and listen and watch what is going on in your life and on the road in front of you. Who knows maybe you will learn something, but I promise you will at least see the right things to do and all the blessings coming towards you to get you living your ideal legacy life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Self-Care<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t ever forget that you must take care of yourself. Think about it, you are the captain of your journey and if you do not take care of yourself who will. Get outside, allow nature to heal. Buy yourself something nice or write down something about yourself each day that you like about yourself. These are all powerful tools for sure and if you remember these steps, you might just get to the beach or receive extra care via a message or healthy meal. All of which will help you to continue moving forward towards your ideal legacy living life! You are a powerful human, and you can do anything you decide to do, go in any direction your heart wants, but you MUST take care of you too!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make every thought, every movement, and every dream count! Sometimes there is a reason you go right instead of left and because you are in charge you may do it anyway you feel is right. Will you make mistakes? Sure, but it is not the mistake that matters it is how you handle it that does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I say make mistakes, fall down, or wipe out but then pick yourself up start moving again and know that it is all part of the process. Living your ideal legacy life was not meant to be easy. You must fight for it and sometimes that means falling. But EMPOWERMENT is a funny thing, we all deserve it, and we all have it within us just allow it to show its head and then take care of it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope that this reading has helped a little to remind you that you are capable of anything you dream of your way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peace and Happiness<\/p>\n\n\n\n
