Expanded Pathways

“To freely bloom – that is my definition of success.”

—Gerry Spence, How to Argue and Win Every Time

I’m on day 8 of my Building Success: 30 Day Challenge.  (If you missed my first post about this, please check out Building Success: My 30 Day Challenge to Change the Way I Think.)  So far so good when it comes to this experiment in changing my thinking. OK I have to admit, sometimes I do have to stretch to come up with 5 successes. Can I count meditating when I do that every day? Sure…my energetic and emotional well being is that important!

Being on day 8 though, I’d still like to invite you to join me in this challenge and recognize your own success stories each and every day. Doing so does make a difference in how we think about ourselves. It can change our inner landscape. Taking time to recognize where our efforts have been successful can—and does—change our inner dialogue. We can move from feeling a little bedraggled to recognizing just how amazing each and every one of us is! And, it doesn’t take creating great feats to show how successful you are. We can find success on any given day, in and around the actions that we take when we are on the right path. And when we do…we bloom!
