I have been challenged numerous times over the years to ponder this thought:

"Imagine your life in 5 years and time and money are no longer an issue. You can do exactly as you please. What does that look and feel like?"

For me, it's money and time freedom - both of which my company affords. It has a fail-proof business plan and an infinite and truly endless supply of support, in both knowledge and people form. I totally have a vision of what my life will be when I get there. I love to travel. I adore exploring. All the non-touristy, hanging-like-a-local stuff - that's all me. I love food, languages and learning anything and everything about the history of a place. I want my children to grow up seeing the world and more importantly, interacting with people from all over the world. I want them to grow up with a concrete understanding of what it looks like day in and day out to be another person somewhere else. I want them to walk in others' shoes, to be open-minded, compassionate and lead with love. To have servant hearts. I hope that is the legacy I can leave for them.

I also imagine the many people whose lives I will be able to bless with this opportunity and these incredible pure, safe, beneficial products. I can close my eyes and feel what it's like to be in a large room filled with indescribable humility, laughter, joy and the family I choose, my "tribe."

But, and it's a big "but" - I am my own greatest critic and am constantly getting in my own way thinking things like "I don't want to be pushy" or someone "might say no." But I have to remember what a beautiful gift I am offering. And people are going to say no, all the time, every day, perhaps out of their own fear and for a myriad of other reasons. But I can still share the gift, offer the opportunity, especially because it will mean growth and expansion both personally and together. And when I offer it, I offer a bit of myself up with it as I am looking for a team to change lives with.

I picture my husband being able to quit working and just focus on school full-time and my student loan debt as  $0. I smile as I realize I can take him on his dream trip to Paris (as a surprise of course). All of my wildest dreams are within my reach, I just have to work like it's my life depends on it - because IT DOES! I want to work to live, not the other way around. I want to spend my time with my family, raising my babies and not missing one tiny moment! I was given this little gift in my reading tonight:

                           "YOUR FEELINGS ARE WHERE YOU LIVE.  .
                        The subconscious is the womb of creation. . . it never
                      changes the idea received but it ALWAYS GIVES IT FORM."
                                                                                 -Neville

If I can close my eyes and imagine, every night about where I want to be, allowing myself to FEEL what my life will be like, it is only a matter of time before it will manifest. Our minds are powerful. But our feelings dictate the way in which we perceive and experience life. I plan on meditating more, getting into nature and really allowing my spirit to take over, and my feelings to be only positive ones. Wish me luck and a clear head!
