Just had to share this one too.
"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers." ~M. Scott Peck
January 2005 I was feeling unhappy and deeply saddened because my chocolate lab, Cassie had been diagnosed with terminal bone cancer one month earlier. I was trying to enjoy every moment I had with her. In those moments of living in the moment with Cassie, I realized I wanted more of that going forward. Cassie gave me that gift. I realized I wanted more joy, more purpose, more fulfillment. As big as the fear and discomfort was to do something about it, I took the leap and hired a life coach. It did lead me to my truth and it was and has been exhilarating. We each have the power within us to make those changes. Reading this quote reminded me of where I was and what I have accomplished and what more I want to do. After experiencing all of this I have wished many times I could bottle it and give it away. But the truth is if we each want to find our own truths, we have to take the leap. But I promise when you do, you will never regret it.
