When you have made a decision to do something do it whole heartedly and without hesitation!
Of course I don't mean to slit anyone's throat - on the contrary but have you ever noticed that the truly great movies - the ones that become classics and usually are nominated for Academy Awards - have one thing in common?
Do you know what that one thing is?
They have unforgettable moments in them.
Seems obvious, yet these moments can be quite subtle - where we actually may overlook them, both in the movies and, more importantly ... in our lives.
What makes these moments so extraordinary is that they touch the core of who we are. They provide the shift we need in the right direction. They are wings for our spirits, for our longing to dare and move forward - out of our comfort zone and into that new space we might fear but at the same time want so much.
Look into the moments that stop you, become aware of why something failed and learn your lesson from it so that next time you will make a better decision and "go for gold" whole heartedly and without hesitation.
Life is great - if only we let it be!
