I choose to be part of the solution.

As many as you know Sheila Turner and I have started a company called F.A.B. Women, which stands for females ascending boundaries. F.A.B. combines fitness and personal development but it is so much more than that…

F.A.B. is a MOVEMENT!

It's a movement about women changing the world for the better.

It's about helping to make the world a better place no matter what kind of contribution you can make --- big or small. 

It’s about waking up each day and saying to yourself, “Today I am gifted an opportunity. What can I do with this day to help myself, to help other people, and to help the world?”. 

It's about striving to be the best version of yourself each and every day.

It's about taking the high road, turning the other cheek, and stepping up to the plate when need be.

Most importantly, it’s about choosing, acting, and living from a place of love.

I am tired of seeing stories about children taking their own lives because life seems too unbearable, because they have not yet discovered their personal power, because they have not yet learned that that their life is a previous gift and they are significant simply because they are born.

Sometimes thinking about the tragedies of life is overwhelming BUT

I choose to be part of the solution.  Each and every day I choose to be a part of a movement that drives myself, and others toward contributing to a greater change in the world. I realize my contribution can be as simple as smiling at a stranger, or taking an extra moment to make a friendly phone call instead of a text, or it can be dedicating time to help a cause I feel strongly about.

We can no longer deny that we are all interconnected. Not only does science prove this connection, but it can be experienced any time you see a child laugh and you automatically smile or when someone else’s bad mood sours your own. Therefore it is our responsibility to tap into our individual greatness and make the most positive contribution to this world that we can.

All of life’s greatest accomplishments started with an idea. Someone thought big. Someone thought about something larger. They dared to let their minds dream and expand in scope.  They pushed beyond the boundary of everyday thought to create a whole new level of thinking.

Maybe it is time that we join these pioneers, these dream builders, these cultural creatives and we create the tomorrow that we dream of today.

With the coming NewYear, it is the perfect time to proactively start to be a part of the life’s solution. Even if that solution is simply to begin with your own thoughts and dreams and desire for contentment. If each individual takes some time and puts forth some effort to discover and work towards what truly makes them fulfilled on the soul level, not a superficial level, but on the soul level, then everyone would benefit and the world will change for the better.

Often it does not take grandiose acts to implement great change but it does takes consistent intentional effort. Small purposeful acts of kindness or meaningful periods of reflection are what creates profound sustainable change in individuals and therefore in the collective whole.

I urge you to take the time to think about what you want, what you really want for yourself, what you really want for those you love, and what you really want for the world.

Write those things down. Brainstorm. Don't hold anything back.

Take note of what excites you and begin with that. Start creating the change that you want to see in yourself and the world can only benefit. What ONE thing can you do today to take a step toward achieving your goal? It may be as simple as contemplating the idea of your greatness. It may be researching a new career or it may be calling a life coach. Start the process now. Don't push it off to an undefined tomorrow.

I would like to leave the world a better place by living the full width and breadth of my life.... what would you like to do?
