Have you noticed that when people tell you to be realistic what they’re really saying is; don’t get your hopes up or you’ll surely be disappointed.

Getting what you truly want and things turning out well are way too often associated with wishful thinking and being unrealistic.  

Maybe you’ve had well meaning friends or family poop on your parade when you shared a goal or dream.

They pleaded their case and assured you they only wanted what was best for you.

Sharing stories about how they’ve learned to spot when things are too good to be true. 

But, if you believe the truth/fact is unwanted/negative and the preferred or positive is a lie or fantasy that’s what you will create!

If you want differently, you must be willing to think for yourself and possibly appear delusional to others.

One of the greatest gifts my mother gave me was encouraging my imagination.

She’d ask me things and when I’d answer with wild vivid...

Has life been feeling a bit stale or monotonous?

Or have you had a string of things fall out of your life?

Sudden loss of relationships, career changes, a move or even health changes and now you feel a bit in limbo?

Any type of changes, even those you’re excited about can be rattling and disorienting. But they all bring the beautiful opportunity of New Beginnings!

Now, I’m a big believer in the idea that we can choose a new path at any moment, we don’t have to wait for a special occasion.

But, there are times that you will seemingly be pushed way outside your comfort zone.

Instead of automatically seeing this as a negative thing, remember everything is truly happening for you.

I know it might not seem like it when you’re in the thick of things but look back over your life and see how far you’ve come.

If you had stayed exactly where you were you would have never grown into the amazing person you are now. 

I can guarantee that deep down you...
