Do not be stifled by the comfort of the monotony you know and let the reward of a little discomfort in effort and hard work pass you by.  The beauty of this life is the freedom and power you possess to make it as you wish with no excuses or explanations needed.   This year, you can choose to make the moves that best serve you and do not apologize for it. Let that be the first difference you make between this year and the last; having no excuses, explanations or apologies for aligning yourself with the intentional energy, attention, and effort to invest, create, and start living the life of your choosing.

Some people spend their whole lives searching for their gift unsure of what it is they are suppose to bring to this life, but the fact is you, your presence in itself is its own gift to the world. What you have to offer your relationships, your job, your experiences could not be the same without you in it. The biggest obstacle you have to conquer is your own self-doubt, trepidation, and fear.

Your intention to bring the calm, the joy, and the understanding to your experiences will only invite more of those things into your life. From now on, show up in the world just as you are knowing that you are a gift to everyone and everything around you- be the gift. ~For more positive posts stop by fb.me/TheAnswerKey & tweet me @_TheAnswerKey daily!

Whatever you do, live with your eyes wide open. Intentionally surround yourself with the kind of people you admire. Appreciate and exchange the goodness that comes with having them in your life and the privilege of being apart of theirs. Not everyone will show up with positivity, passion, consideration, love, and trust-worthiness as their contribution to your experience, but in those instances, your only job is to notice. Accept people as they are, from where they are, and respect their limitations. Then, create a firm enough buffer around yourself that their limits do not adversely affect your life or how you are living it. Smile, play, laugh, relax, and enjoy your life as much as you can. Choose what kind of experience you want to have and whole-heartedly pursue it everyday. Be an example of the kind of person everyone should and wants to have in their corner and be grateful for the ones that live up to the task for you. Life can be short or long so make sure you are in good company....
