The Answer Key

The things that trouble you most, that you fear, that you avoid, or worry about; face them head on. Let today be the day you look all of your obstacles, trials, hurts, and disappointments in the face. Choose to rise like the sun and break the constant, stillness of night over your life. Find the courage to let the brave warrior within lead you through your difficulties. Know that you can bear, handle, and conquer all that plagues you. Know that you are stronger than you think, more capable than you were, and more equipped than you have been before. Boss up. Let today be the first of many days that you take, make, and create a win for yourself. Win over your pain, win over your concerns, win over your stress and trepidation knowing that every challenge you face comes bearing its own gift if you are willing to walk confidently through it; your gift will be waiting on the other side. Your job is to be determined to find it, and rising to that challenge alone means you have already won som...

This is your life. Give yourself permission to seek, find, and experience your life truly fulfilled. Prioritize your life around what you want to see in it. Do not be afraid to remove the negative, unnecessary, or ineffective. Your reception of the things and people that you allow into your space is just as important as the intention, influence, and energy you bring with you. So, if there is anything in your life today not quite holding up to snuff, have the courage to let it go. Take charge. Take ownership. Take a stand for yourself. Begin to lead a life you can live with, and do not waste another minute doing anything less than that. You are the pilot of your jet. You are the author of your book. You are the conductor of your symphony so if you no longer like how it sounds; change the music. Whatever you do, do it with the intention to live your life with purpose, live your life with passion, and live your life doing as best you can by first doing the best you can do for you...

Make more room for yourself in your life. Sure, everyone and everything that needs you, needs you, but you need some of you too. Unapologetically, take care of yourself. Be mindfully, aware, motivated, and committed to you. Invest in yourself just as much as you would anyone else. Own your time. Once you decide to carve out time for yourself, you really see just how much of your daily agenda is filled with all of the things that are dependent on you and you alone, but are in no way for you. However, as you see how difficult it is to squeeze you in, challenge yourself to prioritize your day, week, and month's worth of responsibilities. Do not let your grade A commitment to others allow you to ignore your own needs. Put yourself at the top of your priority list everyday, and let everything and everyone else be second, falling in line behind you. Put on your own oxygen mask before you assist others on a plane and in life. In most cases, second is just as good as first, and in all even...

Everyone has a dream of doing, having, or being something, but there are steps you must take to turn that dream to into a reality. There are few willing to make the necessary transitions to wake up and chase after their dreams. You may have multiple obligations completely unrelated to your dream that you are absolutely committed and obligated to. Do not let whatever those things are deter you from chasing after the calling on your heart. Many people give themselves permission to ignore their purpose because of the obligations around them; do not become one of those people. Set some goals, minimums, and guarantees for yourself to stay on track and stay on the chase. Create a layout and check in and check off your completions as they come. That is the first step to successfully doing anything- the preparation. Know what it takes to complete it, be it, or have it and be disciplined enough to put in the work. The rest is a matter of endurance, remaining focused, and staying the course....

Give yourself permission to have your dreams, pursue them, and make them come true. Your gifts are unique, your desire to apply them is a daily choice- commit to it. Your patience, persistence, and perseverance is what will make all the difference in what will or will not come to pass. It may take time; maybe even a lot of time, but the same amount of time is constantly being passed and spent at the same pace whether you are on the chase or not. You have to decide if you want to let time pass you by having not pursued your dreams. Choose to believe in you. Put your time to use investing in your life goals and making your own dreams come true. You can do whatever you set your mind to as long as you have the endurance to see it through. No matter what it is, go for it- it is already yours for the taking if you choose. There literally is nothing you can not do once you have determined it is for you. ~For more positive posts stop by fb.me/TheAnswerKey   &  @ _TheAnswerKey ...
