Must Be Present to Win

Must Be Present To Win

I suspect that you’ve heard that saying one too many times in your life. You may have even been one of those who left the room for a moment, or had to leave your conference a few minutes early, only to find out later that they called your name for the grand prize.

I think it’s important to be present, to set aside distractions and be in the moment, exactly where you are. You should take the time to feel your feet on the ground, have them trail through the grass, dig your toes in the sand on the beach, or feel them press against the rubber mat at the gym. Wherever you are, you should do your best to be there. Take time from the hustle and bustle of life, from the worrying about the past and the future, and allow yourself to be grounded in the space and time right in front of you. Savor today, enjoy the moment, and embrace the here and now.

It’s so easy to be distracted from the simple enjoyment of being present with our busy lives, technology, so on and so forth. I believe that we truly win when we exist in the moment and engage with the people right in front of us. We can’t change yesterday, and there’s no point in worrying about tomorrow. It’s the here and now that matters the most. How will you be grounded and present today?

When you are present in life, in the moment, in the Experience you gain more JOY, better connections and ultimately win the Day, the moment and have a winning life.

What does living your exceptional life look like to you?

Are you present? What distracts you?

When are you best able to live in the moment and enjoy?

Are you winning in your life, relationships, health, and career?

Dreams…what are those?

I ask my clients “What do you need? What do you want? What do you dream of?”

Think of it like this: I need food, I want to go out to eat, I dream of having a personal chef. I read once that most of us stop dreaming at about 3rd grade, how sad is that? I love to dream; I’ve always been a big dreamer and it seems for me the older I get the bolder the dreams get. I wanted to be a speaker, I wanted to be an international speaker, I want to be a well known and well paid international speaker.

Without a dream it’s hard to become all that we were created to be. It’s so much more than dreaming though; it’s about putting dreams to work with daily action steps, supportive accountability partners and the right tools to get you where you’re going.

My book has been a work in progress for almost 20 years. Two years ago, I met some amazing women in the Twin Cities who run a writers’ group once a month. They invited me in to share ideas and gain support. Then, I met Laura from Wise Ink. She coached me, directed me and kept me on track. She pushed me sometimes and pulled me others. She set deadlines and made sure I met those deadlines.

Without so much support from so many I never would have published a book. So much and so many different emotions have shown up in the last few weeks as my book was released to travel the world. I have served up my gift, my legacy, and you may receive it however you like but I have dreamed a dream, set a goal, done the work and now one more of my dreams has become a reality!

Truth

What truth are you listening to?

;

There is so much noise and busyness in the world around us. Often the loudest noises come from inside our head pulling us in many directions and sometimes even pulling us down. When you learn to listen to the voice of truth, you slow down, you know your value and you are able to confidently walk into the world and your day with a positive attitude. You find your purpose in the Truth. Lies and confusion that add doubt to our minds try to bring us down but it the truth we find our voice, our confidence and our joy. Today I will slow down, I will listen for who and whose I am. I will enjoy the moments and appreciate the people around me. I will not listen to negative self talk or doubt. I will be confident, considerate and compassionate. Will you join me?

In this busy season that is mean to be about JOY we often find ourselves dealing with more stress than JOY. Can you slow down for a moment today and notice your value? Your gifts? Your strengths and all you contribute to the world around you? Take a moment to look back at your year all you have done, overcome, accomplished. and all the lives you have impacted in a positive way. Who have you touched, who have you brought a smile or a little joy into their life?

Sometimes people ask me how do you really know the truth? Where do you find it when you feel lost?

    One of my favorite songs….The Voice of Truth by Casting Crowns

    Casting Crowns \ Voice Of Truth

    Oh what I would do to have
    The kind of faith it takes
    To climb out of this boat I’m in
    Onto the crashing waves

    To step out of my comfort zone
    Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
    And He’s holding out His hand

    But the waves are calling out my name
    And they laugh at me
    Reminding me of all the times
    I’ve tried before and failed
    The waves they keep on telling me
    Time and time again. “Boy, you’ll never win!”
    “You’ll never win!”

    Chorus:
    But the voice of truth tells me a different story
    The voice of truth says, “Do not be afraid!”
    The voice of truth says, “This is for My glory”
    Out of all the voices calling out to me
    I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

    Oh what I would do to have
    The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
    With just a sling and a stone
    Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
    Shaking in their armor
    Wishing they’d have had the strength to stand

    But the giant’s calling out my name
    And he laughs at me
    Reminding me of all the times
    I’ve tried before and failed
    The giant keeps on telling me
    Time and time again. “Boy you’ll never win!”
    “You’ll never win!”

    But the stone was just the right size
    To put the giant on the ground
    And the waves they don’t seem so high
    From on top of them lookin’ down
    I will soar with the wings of eagles
    When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
    Singing over me

    I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
