How's Your Life?

You don’t get to choose how you are going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you are going to live. Now.
--Joan Baez
How do you feel about your life today? Do you love what you’re doing? Are you excited at least once a day, maybe twice? Are you looking forward to your day? Your answers are important to YOU. Your life experience is up to you to create. Why settle for anything less than what you can get? You deserve nothing but the best. In 2007, I started Full Circle Counseling and I’ve been living my days to the fullest, filled with joy, passion and of course obstacles. It has been an amazing experience and I want you to experience that too.
Think about this:

Live every day on a fresh new start. Don’t be held back by what happened yesterday, the day before, the week before, the year before, and so on...we are powerless over the past.

Be true to who YOU are! Stop trying to please other people or be someone else. It’s better to be an original version of yourself than an exact duplicate of someone else. Be yourself, everyone else is taken...

Create your own opportunities. You can wait for opportunities to drop in your lap, or you can go out there and create them. Creating your own is far more empowering and satisfying.

Tell your family and friends how much they mean to you...and show them if you can which is even better.

Do the things you love, because life is too precious to spend it doing anything else. If you don’t enjoy something, then don’t do it. Spend your time and energy on things that bring you fulfillment and happiness.

Be positive. Is the glass half empty or half full? How about neither? It’s actually all full, the bottom half is water, the top half is air. It’s all a matter of perception. Take on empowering perceptions, not those that bind you. If you can see the positive sides of every thing, you’ll be able to live a much richer life than others. Eliminate all unnecessary negativity from your life. It really is possible.

Let go of your unhappy past (I know it's not easy but it is necessary). This means past grievances, heartbreaks, sadness, and disappointments. Forgive those who may have done you wrong in the past. Forgive doesn't mean forgetting... forgiveness is for your peace. “To forgive is to set a prisoner free and realize it was you.” – Lewis B. Smedes

Let go of attachments. Don’t fixate yourself with a certain status, fame, wealth or material possessions. These are unimportant and will ultimately disappear one day when you die. Focus on growing and living life to the fullest instead.

Let go of relationships that do not serve you. That means negative people, dishonest people, people who do not respect you, people who are overly critical and relationships that do not make you feel good. Trust your intuition. It will never fail you.

Spend time with people you feel good around. Hang out with people who you are compatible with... like-minded people, people who are positive, successful, strong achievers and positive for your growth. You are after all, the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. Raise the bar!

I believe in you... You deserve your best life... Think it, feel it, know it.

“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
– Steve Jobs
