It's time to turn your focus toward new beginnings - whether it's a page, chapter, or new book. Reflect on your 10 core life areas, identify your core values (e.g., integrity, honesty, clear communication, etc.), and refocus on what makes you happy and the beautiful person you are. Your foundation has been built on the layers of stepping stones you've been challenged with, overcame, and those situations that are still in progress.
Through your life experiences, you have everything you need to transition beyond the ordinary into greatness. Start with where you are today. Address cracks in your foundation by identifying if your values have changed or are no longer aligned. Reflect on what you are doing and whether your current relationships align with who you are, where you want to go, and who you want to be. Reconnect and ask yourself what you want and desire. Are you moving the needle forward with 1% wins, or are you chasing that next shiny penny or procrastinating, sitting idle, hoping, wishing, and praying for the right time to take action?
The time is now!
You have everything you need to move forward to the life you desire. Your core values are your foundation. Now, it's time to build on that solid foundation laid before you from which you continue to grow. Remember, this is a no-judgment zone, for we are all works in progress - choose progress over perfection. Your daily action steps and the energy you bring to your intentions and dreams will guide you as you develop, grow, share, and be of service with your knowledge, gifts, and talents.
Stepping into greatness requires you to be honest with yourself to consciously and intentionally upgrade your self-awareness as you create the blueprint for your next phase and level.
