My hope for my kids and yours

Rosie and Zach:Don’t make a living – make a life!

Don’t listen to these lies, either:

Get a job. Make a living. You are what you do. Your performance equals your worth. Money is the answer to everything. Security is found in jobs, careers, achievements and business. Once you get good at making a living you can get a life. If you can’t finance it, you can’t do it. You are what you have. Your value is determined by others. There will always be tomorrow. One person can’t make a difference. It doesn’t really matter…Miracles don’t exist.

Rather Believe:There will never ever be another you.Your life is miraculous, precious and invaluable.In miracles.In faith, hope and love.That what and why- are more important than how and when.In being uncompromisingly honest with yourself and othersIn clarity; know what you believe, what you value, what your priorities are.That making a life means designing meaning, purpose, passion and profits into your lifeEvery decision offers you an opportunity to design and create your very own beingIn the still small voice within You can be trusted.That you and God are a majorityYou are here to serve others whenever possible.Time is fleeting; invest it wiselyIn surrounding yourself with love and support

GET REAL

Throughout your life be uncompromisingly honest with yourself and everyone else. Seek to be genuine and transparent in all you do. Continually assess your choices and your reality. Ask yourself. What’s working, what’s not and why? Where am I? Am I being, showing up who I want to be? Are my investments consistent with what I believe and value? When you get stuck identify why; what are the fears, limiting beliefs and past experiences that need to be rewritten to unleash your very best now?

GET CLEAR

Distill. Vett. Filter. Meditate. Pray. Distill your decisions through your values and priorities. Know thyself. Be real clear on who you are and what you want before making decisions to travel right or left. Choices determine your life. Choose deliberately and intentionally. Certainly stay flexible. And yet more importantly stay present, aware of who you are and what you want. The desires of your heart indicate the ability to make them happen, if and only if you remain clear and decide you will get what you want.

GET CONGRUENT

Align your decisions with who you want to be, what you believe, what you value and what you want to invest in. Alignment matters. A house divided will fall. Be yourself. Be true to your gifts, talents, passions and dreams. Remember the return on your life will be dependent on what you choose to invest in; invest in things that matter to you. Invest your one incredible life wisely.

GET CREATING

You were created a creator. Design a meaningful life. Make a life. Make it genuinely you. Cut off that which is not you and throw yourself with abandon into that which calls your name, keeps you up at night and gets you up in the morning and that which you are curious about. And remember that without a no, you do not have a yes. “All creation is first an act of destruction.” Picasso

GET WHAT OBSESSED

Now that you’ve decided what matters most to you. Be ‘what’ obsesssed not how or when obsessed. Ask the what question, stay focused on ‘what.’ Point in the direction. Keep the big picture in your mind. Filter all options to invest your resources through the ‘WHAT’ that matters to you; NOW!

GET THE ‘WHO’ TO HELP

Once you are clear on WHAT matters and why you must do it. Identify the people and resources you will need to navigate the journey from here to there. Stay focused and pointed on the ‘what.’ Ask ‘who’, can help me, and what will I need for the journey? Assess your resources, energies and currencies before you take off; spiritual, emotional, financial, physical, intellectual. Know yourself and embrace help from others.

GET INTO THE MOMENT

Designing a life that is meaningful, purposeful and passion ate is a daily commitment to living deeply in the present moment. It’s about immersing yourself in your own life. It’s more about being, than doing and having. Throw yourself; heart, mind and soul into the present moment and then the next and suddenly you will have found a deep, meaningful, passionate and purposeful life. Life will be sacred. Worship even.

BELIEVE

Know that you and God are a majority. Hold onto hope and faith. Believe that you are here not only to experience miracles but to be A miracle. And never forget that you are a miracle to me and I love you.
