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?
