Ebb and Flow

Just like the tides, our lives ebb and flow.  At times everything seems to be going well, opportunities are coming our way, we feel like we are on the top of the world, and then….

Then comes the ebb, we step back from some of the things we are doing, or we are forced to step back by a job loss, a financial reversal, or some other devastating event and we wonder if we will ever be able to return to the flow again.

The answer is “YES”.  Nature ebbs and flows and so do you.  But unlike nature, sometimes we need a little extra help to get back into position for the flow to happen.  This help may come in the form of a person we follow online, someone we meet at the coffee shop, or in the grocery line, an article we read, a quote we see on Facebook.  It doesn't have to be something big, just a little something to put hope back into our lives, to make us believe that it is possible.

So if you are feeling that you are in the “ebb” stage right now, look around you and see what you can grab hold of to bring you back to “flow”.  What do you need?  Find it.  Who can help?  Find them.  What can you do?  Do it.

Mike Kemski

All your life you've carried a vision of who you want to be.

In many ways, you've become that person.

You live by a set of standards that adhere to the vision of who you want to be.

You've conquered most of the obstacles that lay on the path to becoming that person and come with living by those standards.

But there's that one thing that always seems to elude you.

That one mountain you can never seem to climb.

That one obstacle you just cannot seem to find a way around.

The stories you tell yourself about why you cannot seem to acheive the success in that area of your life are powerful and create almost unbreakable beliefs that keep it just out reach.

Your life can be amazing in every other way but as long as that one thing eludes you, you'll never feel fulfilled.

Because it's not really about the external achievement that comes from conquering that mountain, it's about who you must become to do it.

You are already more than capable of climbing that mountain and achieving excellence in that area of your life.

And the only thing that's stopping you is YOU!

It's the stories, the beliefs, and the excuses that are the real mountain and true obstacles.

It's rewriting and redefining those things that create the victory.

Because once you do that, there is no mountain, no obstacle, and no challenge you cannot conquer.

But, until you do that, even the smallest speed bump will shut you down.

Tell yourself exactly what you need to hear to rewrite and redefine who you believe you are because 10 times out of 10 it's already the truth.

You're strong.
You're powerful.
You're capable.
You're already fully equipped.
You're worthy.
You're determined.
Your circumstances don't matter, you can change them.
Your status doesn't matter, it WILL change.
You are and have been qualified from birth to kick the shit out of everything in life you choose to!

And most of all, you are a powerful creator of your reality, including how ever you choose to define yourself…”
