  1. The Power of Self
  2. The Power of Passion
  3. The Power of Expansion
  4. The Power of Connection
  5. The Power of Balance
  6. The Power of Intention
  7. The Power of Choice
  8. The Power of Words
  9. The Power of Action
  10. The Power of Risk

Dear ,

Do you dream with your eyes wide open? Do you see how your life can be filled with more rich experiences and visualize the possibilities for your life? Do you ever explore and play with those wondrous wishes? The Power of Expansion is just that... the ability to see where you are right now and use it as a launching point to move boldly in the direction of your dreams. Expanding is growing, developing, increasing, extending out, opening up.
 
Life is constantly evolving and changing... nothing really ever stays the same. At times you need to pause in order to rest, rejuvenate or process where you have come from, and it is often a time to re-align or make different decisions. But when you go backwards or contract, perhaps you are allowing fear, indecisiveness, disorganization, insufficiencies or doubts to hold you back. Emotional paralysis is created and expansion ceases.
 
Let The Power of Expansion motivate you to move forward and to seize new opportunities. There are unlimited possibilities and resources to truly live a meaningful life, and to HUGELY serve others with your gifts and talents. My client did exactly that, as you will read below. She is using her special skills and passion to not only serve others, but also create a successful business.
 
Here are some inspiring thoughts:
  • "Imagination is more important than knowledge."            --Albert Einstein
  • Vincent Van Gogh said, "I dream my painting, and then I paint my dream."
  • "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." --Eleanor Roosevelt
  • "Our truest life is when we live in our dreams awake." --Thoreau
  • "So I need to create a vision of what I want that will bring all of my intentions together.  And a vision is just that- something I can see, something that's so exciting and attractive to me that it pulls me forward until I have it."--Drew Rozell
  • You were born with potential. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You were not meant for crawling, so don't. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly. --Rumi
My hope for you is that you will start using your imagination to create new possibilities for your life. Dream.Visualize. Explore. Believe. And then learn to fly.
