Let’s look at YOU!

You... is about:

1. You!  About really listening to you, knowing who you really are, what’s really important to you, your values, your integrity,  your word with yourself.  You is about the conversations you have with yourself, the conversations that interrogate the clarity of your vision against the reality of where you currently are, and how to bridge the divide.

1. Purpose.  Knowing what you want from your life’s experience.    It’s about knowing your purpose, creating a compelling vision of your purpose realized, and taking the necessary action to accomplish and live into your purpose.

1. Taking care of you, physically, mentally, spiritually, socially, and economically.  You is about strapping on the oxygen mask to  you first, so you’re capable of helping others when they need it.  You is about saying YES to you, to  your dreams, aspirations, and vision of who you are, what you want to become, what you want to accomplish.

1. Being free to be, free to be yourself, to be who it is you aspire to be.  You is about your life’s agenda, and granting yourself the permission to pursue your dreams and aspirations because they’re what YOU want.

1. Personal confidence and the support of those who care about you.  Confidence - the mental and physical confidence to make choices and take action that others may not agree with.  Confidence to keep the inevitable set backs, speed bumps, and at times what may seem as course altering challenges in the right frame of mind and perspective.  Support from family, friends, co-workers, or your spiritual community who know, as you do, that this is your calling.  It’s time to answer the call!

Part of me is inclined to add more to this section on YOU.  Yet, as I read through it once again, it stands quite well on its own.  I think that’s just what I’ll do, let it stand on its own.  Feel free to add your own thoughts or comments about any or all of the YOU. I’d love to read what and how you feel about what I’ve written.  So if you’ve begun your own Write 4 Life writing, why not share?  I look forward to reading your contribution to this blog!  Stay tuned, next is CAN!

Next, I will explore the CAN!
