Live an inspired life!

5 steps you can follow today.

Your whole life, you toed the line and played it safe.

You held back from stating your mind for many reasons. Because you – needed the job or the coworker network… didn’t want to upset the family and put yourself on the outside looking in… felt compelled to be a good neighbor and not make waves.

Or maybe you lived risk-averse because you couldn’t shake the “what if” factors. What if – s/he says NO!... I’m not qualified enough… I do it and it goes south… it leaves me broke and on the street (not quite but it felt that way).

Or maybe you stayed in a place that didn’t give you joy or purpose because the “devil you know is better than the one you don’t”.

In any case, as you stand here today… looking back to yesterday – you may have regrets. You may be wishing you did things differently.

You wonder -- what could my life be now, if only…

Well girl, as a 50+ Fabulous Woman, you don’t have to live in the shadow of “if only”.

Now is the time to thrive! Now is the time to be your authentic self… to find your joy and your happiness.

It’s time to shut down the voices in your head that don’t move you forward.

Living without regrets doesn’t mean you live a perfect life… It means you live a purposeful life.

Living a purposeful life takes courage and determination. It means setting a standard for what you will and won’t do… or tolerate from others. Consider it to be the 50+ Fabulous Women “Rules of Engagement” for Positive Aging.

One of the greatest advantages of Positive Aging is the freedom you have to chart your own path without worrying about “playing it safe” and “toeing the line”.

As Ralph Waldo Emerson puts it – All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better.

So now is YOUR time… Let’s get you started.

Here are some ways you can start living your Unique, Inspired and Purposeful life:

1. Discard the deadweight! Do an assessment of your life. Identify what adds value and what doesn’t… What moves you forward versus what holds you back.

Whether it’s a relationship… a job… a structure… or an emotion – if it doesn’t bring you joy, it’s got to go!

2. Follow your dreams! You wake up and realize - your whole life has been a planned event designed to get from point A to point B.

Well, now it’s time to throw away the planner and go rogue. Now’s the time to do what you've always dreamed of doing.

No - It’s not crazy… selfish… or irresponsible. It’s exciting! As those youngin’s always say YOLO Baby!!

3. Be afraid. And do it anyway! So what’s the worst thing that can happen?!?!? LOL. Seriously - assess the situation for the worst possible outcome. Determine the probability of said catastrophe actually occurring and then metaphorically leap right into it.

Life happens once…

4. And do it YOUR way! Too often we second guess ourselves because our ideas, thoughts or intentions don’t jive with conventional thinking. Well, the truth is - conventional thinking is nothing more than a cliche’.

Just because it’s what most people would do, doesn’t mean it’s the best option for you. Trust your instincts. When everyone zigs… you zag and follow your gut to a fun adventure!

5. Pay it forward! One of the best ways to live a purposeful life is to share your bounty with others. Whether it’s your time… your advice… your worldly goods… or your friendship – what you put out into the universe always comes back ten-fold. It’s like a “goodwill” piggy bank.
