To find your life, you have to lose it.

To become the woman you know yourself to be you have to be willing to stop doing the things that are preventing you from achieving that.  We are guilty of continuing to do the same thing over and over again thinking THIS TIME, we will get a different result, or THIS TIME, I will not get hurt or THIS TIME it will turn out different.  You are stealing from yourself when you continue to do this.

The key to transforming your life is to be willing to do the things that are in harmony with who you know you are at your core.  So the first question becomes, who am I really?  Am I proud of the woman I have become?  What do I like? What do I want to accomplish with my life?  How do I want to show up in the world?  What difference do I want to make for mankind?  What are my strengths and talents?  How can I best use them?  What kind of  relationships do I want?  What kind of person do I want to be?  What are my values?  What do I believe? When you look in the mirror, do you recognize the woman that is looking back at you?   If you stay on the path you are on now, will you end up where you are trying to go? These are the tough questions you must ask yourself.  And you must answer them.

Do you feel lost or do you feel "found."?  Lost is when you can't find something, have misplaced something or you can't find your way.  Found is when you are excited, you feel renewed and restored on the inside and you know you are at a different place.  Lose what is not working for you.  Lose who is not working for you.  Lose beliefs and behaviors that do not support you.  Seek the truth and only the truth.

Go inward.  To transform yourself you must work from the inside out.  Be prayerful about your intentions and ask for divine guidance to get you to the place that you belong...your true place.  Learn to feel comfortable with yourself and your thoughts.  You must learn to enjoy yourself as one of your dearest friends.  Find the inner voice or inner compass that will lead you and guide you safely there.  Learn to trust this voice because it is there to protect you, shield you, guide you and promote you.

Get a notebook and go on the  inward journey to discover what YOU are all about.  Write down the questions as they come to you and write down the answers.  Take time with yourself.  Nurture yourself.  Start being kind to yourself.  Be good to yourself.

A new pathway will appear for your life.  A new road to travel.  Take heart and have courage to begin your journey.  Love yourself enough to transform your life!
