May 1, 2019 - How much do you want it? How committed are you to achieving what you most desire? What are you willing to do in order to make things happen for you? I am not talking about sacrifice. If you feel you must sacrifice, then you are in a
limiting state of mind that is hindering your true potential to achieve. I am talking about action. Inspired action.
Take an MM&I Moment to awaken to your ability to take action every day in all facets of what you want to bring into being. Too often we believe there must be some grand measure of effort for it to make a real difference. The reality is any measure of effort makes the difference. Sometimes it is the little things that are done that can create a ripple effect beyond measure. Take a step forward, no matter how
small. Make a decision, no matter how insignificant it may seem. Focus on what you most desire and listen to what your inner spirit is guiding you to do. Then do it.
