Disappointment comes to each of us.
For me this week, it's being disappointed in myself and how I gained back 14 of the 53 pounds I have lost so far. Ughhh! This sets my plan of 100 more pounds even further back.
I know how it happened.
I know why it happened.
But I also know that I can change the tide right now.
What I need is a dose of hope.
Disappointment comes and goes but hope will always follow.
Maybe you're a bit disappointed today too.
Maybe you need a dose of good old fashioned hope. If so, I hope these words will be the catalyst for you to see your future brighter.
You are a gift. Your strengths are ones that this very day someone somewhere is praying for. You have everything inside of you that is needed for you to move into the fullness of the person you were meant to become.
Take a deep breath.
Take another.
One more.
Now close your eyes and think about your greatest fear.
Got it?
Now a few more deep breathes.
Smile because you're about to move in a new direction.
Now close your eyes and think about the most outrageous positive outcome that you are quite sure is impossible, an outcome that would blow you away.
Open your eyes.
Got it.
Now read these words: IT IS POSSIBLE
I am reminded of these words Jesus spoke in the book of Matthew Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Now go do the impossible, with God riding shotgun.

I am sick and tired of everyone talking about success as if its the one thing we are put on this earth for. And the person I am most sick of hearing it from is me!
After spending more than twenty years chasing what I thought was success, I finally woke up and realized significance is my target.
Significance means change.
It means purpose.
It means passion.
Significance means taking the eye off of me and putting it on someone else.
Significance means leaning into my destiny and finally using the talents and strengths I have been blessed with to make a difference.
So today I won't wish you success. Instead I wish you significance.

Are you the one in the crowd that seems just a bit different than the others?
Find yourself feeling like a square peg in a round hole?
Are you the only family on the block that doesn't watch tv?
The working Mom that still cooks breakfast for everyone?
The Vegan who is not tempted at a steakhouse?
Are you the college student that hosts Bible studies instead of partying?
Are you the person in the office that refuses to be confined to a cubicle mentality, going well beyond what you are compensated for?
Are you the senior citizen that at the age of 75 still mentors others in a 12 Step program?
Are you the executive that walked away from what some would call a 'dream job' to do what you felt called to?
You are a non-conformist.
You are change.
You are an ingredient to revolutions, stories and songs.
You are one of the key reasons growth happens.
The world needs more of you.

Who are you anyway?
Are you the way you talk?
Walk?
Write?
Act?
Dance?
Feel?
Learn?
After coaching hundreds of people I have come to the not so brilliant conclusion that we are the sum of our strengths, passions and experience. Therein lies the problem. People can help you discover your strengths and maybe even your passions but you have to be honest with yourself about your experiences and how they have shaped you into the person you are today.
You deserve that much.
And so do the people you can serve once you connect the dots.
Choices are inevitable.
Choice can be fun.
Choices can torture us with the promise of failing.
Zig or Zag?
Right or Left?
Inside or Out?
Career or Business?
Choices can seem daunting until that is you find the secret to making the right choice....aligning it with your vision for your life.
Once you know where you would like to go, it makes choosing the right path to get there so much easier.
Toledo or Maui?
Once you know your destination, you can figure out the right schedule, flight, time, even what to pack.
So it is of often not the choice that trips us up...its the lack of a vision for our destination.
Don't settle for standing in the gap between 2 roads for too long.
Choose.
And move 100% in the direction you have chosen and one of two things will happen.
Maybe you will either feel thrilled to arrive in Maui and go running towards the beach.
Or
Perhaps you'll arrive in Toledo and go running into the arms of someone you love.
Either way you win, as long as it is the vision you choose before the journey.
This is such a great Cinderella story!
Meet Ted Williams....a guy with quite a few obstacles to overcome!
He's 53 (Hmmm so am I).
H'e born and raised in Brooklyn New York.
He's struggled with drugs and alcohol and he's been clean now for 2 1/2 years, way to go Ted!
He was living day to day in Ohio as a panhandler, but he wasn't just asking people to 'give', he was willing to share his gift, his strength to those that would help him.
So he shared his gift, someone recognized it and put a spotlight on his talent.
Now everything has changed.
He is a YouTube sensation.
He now has an announcer job.
He's been interviewed by several major news outlets.
He's been flown to New York to be interviewed AND was reunited with his 92 year old Mom in Brooklyn.
Last week, he was panhandling. No literally JUST LAST WEEK!
Now, everything has changed, except of course for his strength.
So don't hide your strength, share it generously with the world.
Watch this video and look for opportunities to share your strength today.
