<\/span><\/div>

Funny how we forget HOW to transform ourselves in an instant<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nervous system on high, triggers upon triggers\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Not to mention the stories we tell ourselves that keep us locked in a cave WE BUILT.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But the simple fact is that in every single moment we have the power to choose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I know it doesn\u2019t feel like that sometimes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We get to the end of an outburst or upset and only then think, \u201cwhy did I do\/say that?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But that\u2019s the name of the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s what there is for us to learn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To catch it before it takes off into lala land where you and sleeping beast collide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like an airplane about to take off and Keano Reeves races down the runway to stop it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We can be our own Keanu Reeves<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We have the power to learn and understand our triggers and we alone have the power to interrupt them and create something NEW.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

YUP. It\u2019s not always easy but it IS always worth the fuss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And fuss or not when and why did we become so complacent to who we think we are beyond the already always programming of our minds?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I for one intend to continue to alter the future I walk into as we speak.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I for one intend to continue to BECOME in each moment a consciously created version of me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I for one intend to accomplish what I say I will no matter the if\u2019s, and\u2019s, or but\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n

And because once again I stand here allowing words to flow out on digital paper, I proclaim the power I have in each moment to create every room I walk into.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I create myself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I create the people around me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I create in every second of every minute of every hour of every day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But don\u2019t you wish you could stop forgetting this simple truth?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yeah, me too!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Well then let\u2019s choose to not forget ever again and put structures in place to hold ourselves accountable because the beginning has just begun.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve allowed enough of our own stuckness,<\/span><\/p>\n

DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

And that’s just IT.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Responsibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We haven\u2019t, I haven\u2019t, been responsible for myself in the ways that matter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a missing and damn well deserved input of active creativity if I do say so myself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Being responsible like nobody\u2019s business is a sure fire way to have life work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Relationships work, money works, the business idea WORKS.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All inside of being responsible for everything, anything, all of it, that you are creating and who you\u2019re being.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I speak not only for you but for me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have played the victim and it ain\u2019t pretty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have played the struggle bus and it\u2019s time to get off once again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Life isn\u2019t even close to over and what is already good is getting better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And you know, when real peace rolls in and all else falls away, that\u2019s something special.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s something to be sought after.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not likes on a post.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not views on a video.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not commas in the bank account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Real solid peace of mind followed by fulfillment and joy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

That\u2019s who I am. That\u2019s who I am CONSCIOUSLY CREATING myself as.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Funny how we don\u2019t always think we can do it, but we can.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Forge the way for those of us who can\u2019t find the light.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Walk the path that not everyone walks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Musings shared along the way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I suppose that\u2019s what I\u2019m doing here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Because I am a powerful creator of all things I desire.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I cause things to come into existence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And when you\u2019re a person like that, you can also create what you don\u2019t want.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Catch 22, double edge sword, I guess.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But all the more reason to STAY AWAKE.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Stay awake.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once again,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks for coming to The Zoey Show,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I love you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
