Reach for the sun, the stars, the moon, just REACH!

While in my office today, I couldn't help but notice one of my many plants. This particular plant was so dramatic in leaning almost out of its roots and over the pot toward the sunny window in my office. I sat still staring at this plant and marveling at its need to be in the sun. I thought how significant it was. So many of us in need of warmth, encouragement, life, chances...
Looking at this plant extending itself to get what it needs I realized how limited some of us become when reaching our own goals. Think about it. What are you willing to do to reach a goal, not many goals, a goal, one goal. Are you willing to sleep less, eat less, do more, ask more, say no more? Think about it. What is your goal? How far can you go? Can you reach over your own base like the plant in its soil? Can you think the impossible? Does it seem impossible? Do you gravitate toward negative people or people who shine and warm you like the sun?
Take inventory of your life. Look around at what makes you happy, warm, encouraged, alive. You deserve to have an amazing life. Stop putting boulders in front of opened doors. You can do it, you can have it all and you can have the support and love and warmth to do it.
You are on this earth for a reason. You are a gift. Embrace your gift and share it. Like this beautiful plant, stretch, expand, grow toward the warm sun. Open your arms and be open and willing to have great things happen. Only YOU can make change happen. Only YOU can feel the sun's warmth and know, I deserve this... I want this... I am this...
You are AWESOME! Be Awesome!
I believe in YOU!!!
Blue Skies,
Jordan
