We wish you a day of choosing with courage (today and every day).
 
Life offers us choices every day. When we stop begging for scraps and start choosing with clarity, we step into our true power. The universe is not withholding; it is waiting for us to claim what is already ours.
 
The focus for today is:
To choose is to empower.
 
Today's message is inspired by Alan Cohen, author of the book: Dare To Be Yourself: How to Quit Being an Extra in Other Peoples Movies and Become the Star of Your Own
As Alan Cohen reminds us, we are not here to grovel, plead, or struggle. We are here to create, to live boldly, and to claim the life we were born to live. Every clear “yes” or “no” sets life in motion to support us.
