Act as if

"If only" are words that have past each of our lips at one time or another. I would like to challenge that belief and replace it with "Act as if!" Deep down we all have a Wish List of things we would love to do, see, be or accomplish. If not, I invite you to take 2 minutes right now and write down all the things that you are passionate about. One of the executives that I am working with shared with me that he insisted that when his daughter was growing up he expected her to do at least one thing that she was passionate about each year and if she didn't know then he would provide the opportunities for her to explore what they might be. I really like that approach. Imagine committing to yourself that you will explore each year what your many passions are? So many of us get caught up in our comfort zone and are unwilling to step outside it. If the sky was the limit(money, weight, size, age, education were no issues) what would you do or be?
By December 2010, I plan to go scuba diving in the islands. I know for some that is no big deal however I am afraid of having all that equipment on me for fear I will sink. I know how amazing snorkeling is when I have connected with all those colorful fish! So by December 2010 I plan to step outside of my comfort zone to see if scuba diving is one of my passions. Now it's your turn. What is your adventure for 2010? I would love for you to email me;info@powerfuljourney.com to share with me what you plan to do. Minimally, I encourage you to share it with someone you trust who will help keep you accountable. Give yourself a deadline and the rest will take care of itself. Think of the "happy dance " you will do when you "Act as if" you were meant to try this new opportunity. Act as if you already have experienced that which you desire. So what are you waiting for?
Happy exploring,
Cate
