I am love

 I am  💗

And I choose.... and in the moments where I am feeling low, I know I AM "chosen" with Divine intention.

AND... I am grateful to those in my life who CHOOSE me as well and have openly expressed so.

ANNNNDDDD... I openly express that I hold love for the gifts of life you all are and help this beautiful world to be as it is.

ANNNNNDDDDDD... I LOVE "love"....

What did you want to be growing up?

 A mom, an architect, interior designer, fashion, designer, teacher and a doctor.

I knew from the age of 5. I pursued them all to some degree. And today, in some way, I apply what I learned to the life I am living now.

Oddly enough, the first option inspired the "need" for the rest.

What is yours?

Leaving the world better than I found it.

 Good mawning!

"Leaving the world better than I found it".

That's what I read this morning and it reminded me that my dad would say and show me the same.

Every space he would pass through...he'd pick up some trash and put it in a bin. He would move things so they wouldn't be in someone else's way. He would wipe down the counter and faucet after he used it when we were out in public (as a kid when he took me to the washroom). I still do the last one today.

Thinking of the little ways to make someone's experience better.

That's the journey I am sharing with my young men now. That's also the experience I have shared with those I've worked with.

This weekend as we did weekly review, we reflected on the value and influence of our lives. Wee saw how drastically different our lives would be without one another...without the contribution of our family...without their beautiful influence.

The next day, this guy stood taller. Probably because he also blew out his afro LOL He's also helping me to put my next course together. Improving your performance and sleep.

Knowing our value. Appreciating our contributions in this world, and making sure those contributions are good and help make things better. That's why I love coaching, mentoring, and teaching.

Helping others to get their best out of life. And hopefully that helps them to do the same for another in some way. I'm on a mission for #oneanotherlove.

Happy Monday folks.

What “kind” of person do you want to be?

 Good mawning!

This morning as I had a mini devo with my oldest, we explored the ideas around the ideas of …getting stuck in the past, perfectionism, narcissism, and Anakin Skywalker.

It was sparked from a quote/statement I posted and shared yesterday about starting with an intention into becoming who you are.

BUT…what if that intention (or entertained thought) is a non-serving one? What then?

In the mindset “lingo” that myself and others who practice the 4 pillar EYL system, there is something called “Bound Nature”. And often times, you are looking to interrupt this ‘nature’ before it gains momentum and “becomes” something more…usually something that is not wanted or beneficial.

This time, we went through the stages from the statement (Intention, behaviour, habit, practice, second nature and then the becoming of who you are…) and looked at the “evolution” of Anakin Skywalker “becoming” Darth Vader.

The key is, interrupt!

Don’t progress to the next level. It is often a choice made at the thought/intention level. And more often than not unfortunately, it happens without extra consideration because there wasn’t a vision to guide us in the first place.

Build a vision.

Of who it is that you want to become. Start with the “end” in mind perhaps…. Give yourself some time to even gift yourself the glimpse of what that would look like. Then sprinkle in “stuff” in the journey that you MIGHT want to gravitate towards and how that would feel.

What “kind” of person do you want to be? Loving, thoughtful, romantic, family man/woman/person, adventurous… ?

What actions/behaviours does a loving person display? A loving parent display? A great friend and partner display? How does their daily habits let you know they are these things?

Anyways, the main point was…observe and choose and make adjustments and interruptions BEFORE you become something that you never imagined becoming. (A.K.A. Check yo’self before you wreck yo’self… )
