BEGIN AGAIN!

I recently found my daughter’s clarinet that was collecting dust in a closet for the past 10 years. When my daughter visited I gave it to her and she immediately started playing songs. The melodies were sweet and we all stood around cheering.

Are there things that you have put away or hidden in your closet that are waiting to be pulled out and put to use? Is it a dream of going back to school or opening your own business or revitalizing an old talent? Whatever it is you can begin again!

Consider these action steps to revive your dreams and make sweet music of your own:
Step 1: Make the Decision
Your situation will not change until you do. Decide today that you will do what’s necessary to make things happen for you. Every journey begins with a single step. It's your time to shine!

Step 2: Know Your Direction
Cultivate a plan with SMART goals. These are goals that are SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE, ATTAINABLE, REALISTIC and have a TIME component. For example, “I will contact my mentor or coach to schedule time in the next week to develop strategies that will help me to reach my goals. Being specific and gaining support will help you achieve results faster. 

Step 3: Remove Obstacles
Whether those obstacles are your own thoughts, other people, money or other resources, you must address them head own and devise ways to eliminate them. In some cases you may have to move forward despite those obstacles. Don’t get discouraged, if it were easy you would have done it a long time ago. But today you are stronger, smarter and braver than you were before.

Remember this is your dream, your time and your purpose. Do what you can do and you’ll be surprised to see how the right people will be in the right place at the right time to support you in your success. The moment you start to wonder if you deserve better, YOU DO! Don't stay stuck! Begin again and live life on purpose for your purpose.
