100 Days of Wisdom: Wisdom Day 15 — Real Transition Requires Real Metamorphosis

Wisdom Day 15

“Any transition serious enough to alter your definition of self will require not just small adjustments in your way of living and thinking but a full-on metamorphosis.”  – Martha Beck

Transforming your “self” into the “you” you were really born to be requires time, attention and faith in a divine plan. It also requires courage to co-create with Spirit your best self with each intention, thought and action.

Of course this all sounds great in theory. And maybe you even agree that your life needs a healthy dose of transformation to take you to a higher altitude above all the turbulence of your current situation.

But “where do I begin”, you ask? How does one begin such a TRANSFORMATION?

Start with your passion!

If you don’t know what your passion is, your first step is to find out. Be a courageous and delightfully curious student in the quest to identify your life’s passion and then nurture it with every fiber of your being. Why does your passion require such unwavering focus? Because so many decisions about your “tomorrows” cannot be made from a position of strength until you first identify:

  1. where you’re going; and
  2. what fuel will get your there.

Consider the fuel of your best life your passion.

“It’s about figuring out what you’re great at, what it takes to keep you moving forward, and exactly what [and who] you need to succeed.”

Need more wisdom on your journey of transformation? Paula @ TheDailyOWN.com shared some wonderfully wise insights about transition and transformation in her latest blog post:

Sometimes the things that are hard to do are often the ones that I most need to do.  This Martha Beck OYou Boot Camp Challenge week has been no walk in the park.  It’s been more like a hard run uphill with a lot of stops to catch my breath…not sure where I’m going or not always confident that I will get there.

With the week already mid-way through, I picked up the largest stack of Oprah O Magazines that I could find last night as I walked into bed.  Here are just a few things that stood out to me… Read the rest at TheDailyOWN.com.

100 Days of Wisdom: Wisdom Day 12 — Attitude is Not Just Everything, It’s the ONLY Thing

Wisdom Day 12

Attitude is Not Just Everything, It’s the ONLY Thing

Read about the 100 days of Wisdom™ Project by Tonya Marie

Follow me on Twitter @WisdomWhispers and the hashtag #100daysofwisdom for more reflections on life, love and the wisdom of Spirit!

“The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude… I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our attitudes.”

~ Charles Swindoll, The Daily OWN Contributor ~

Greetings!

Today’s wisdom reminds us that a positive outlook and attitude is a choice. We are responsible for our own energy in any given situation. That means we determine whether we will react unconsciously or respond consciously and contentiously to life’s twists and turns.

Spend ten life-affirming minutes today reading an article from O, The Oprah Magazine on why a positive attitude is good for your health. And then resolve to respond with love in every situation. Reflect love, hope, compassion, empathy and joy.

Be well … and WISE!

Web Wisdom: You are (absolutely, positively) the best so be Your “SELF”!

Much gratitude to TheDailyOWN.com for the reminder!

Being ME, the authentic divinely-inspired ME, is a full-time job. So I affirm that I will always (and only) focus on being the best ME I was created to be. My responsibility, my privilege!

“Because people who mind [who I am] don’t matter; and people who matter don’t mind.”
