Limitless

Long awaited and much anticipated ... IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME!  This my friends is truly a blog I wrote today lol....

Much has changed, as it should, and I have embraced each change in my life with open arms.  This Thanksgiving weekend has been so special, partially because it's my favorite holiday, but mostly because I got to spend this time with my husband and kids without waking up super early and going to work (YAYYY!!!)

While enjoying our rest and relaxation, we watched a movie, Limitless... starring Bradley Cooper (recently deemed the 'sexiest man alive' - I THINK NOT LOL).  The plot was amazing, and the movie offers an intriguing idea... what if we could take a pill that accessed the other 90% of our brain, which would in turn, increase our mental focus, and make us rich and powerful.  Most people would immediately say, 'sign me up son!'  But what if.... we didn't need a pill for that and it would still be possible? 

I recently finished a book by Dr. Cherie Carter-Scott, Ph.D. called If Life is a Game: These are the Rules.  Dr. Carter-Scott also offered an intriguing idea... the idea that everything we need to be successful, everything we need to fulfill our destiny is already within us.  All we have to do is tap into it.  I thought to myself, 'well what button do I push and where the heck is it?!' LOL!

If I gave you a pill, and told you this tiny clear pill can make you so focused, that you could write an entire novel in 1 week, or learn how to play the piano, then you would probably take it.  Now what if that pill was simply a vitamin B pill, all natural, nothing special about it.  But while I was talking, you had already convinced yourself that you would be focused right after you took the pill (not knowing what it was), and indeed you were.

The mind is powerful folks.  Our ability to focus is there, we just have to remove the distractions.  We can't let negative thoughts set limits on our lives.  Our what ifs should sound more like, "What if Oprah came out of retirement, just to interview me and talk about my books?  Or what if she invited me to a gathering of world leaders, philanthropist, and what I like to call 'game changers'?" Okay, okay... you caught me, that was a thought of mine, that I like to think of... often lol.  The point is, our 'what ifs' shouldn't be negative, or fearful, or 'what ifs' should be LIMITLESS!

LOVE YOU ALL!
