of us knows difference.How alive are you? How much are you enjoying your life? How much do you participate in that enjoyment? How much do you contribute to that enjoyment? You have heard me say, time and again, that life is perfect because we have ability to create our own lives. When I look at people who just do not seem to grasp this concept, I have to wonder why. I have come to believe reason for this is that they are asleep and unable to wake up!I have had clients come to me with desire to change their lives, to improve, to grow, to advance but who simply never reached their goals. It used to bother me, professionally, until I realized reason why. They were so deeply asleep they could not wake up. They were so immersed in habits and automatic processes that they could not accept idea that their lives were in their control.Making conscious choices about every little thing in your life is how to take control. Even if you make choice to be asleep about a choice (if that makes sense) is making a choice. Routine is comfort. Choice is hard. Habits are easy. Breaking life-long habits is extremely difficult. Until you get hang of it, watching your self do things you do in your sleep all day long is mentally exhausting. However, you have power to wake up. Will you use it?Wake up - and smell roses!As always,Your online Coach and Friend,Miami PhillipsFounder of Creative MastermindsEmail: coach@creativemasterminds.com Quotation of WeekThe chains of habit are to weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.- Samuel Johnson 1709 -
