Happy birthday to me: one magical life to live

Today marks another trip around the sun—more than halfway into my Club 50 membership. As I reflect on the past half-dozen years, with all honesty I can say: What a ride! Cue in this past summer’s getaway of a lifetime. While it resulted in an inner prompting to create movement, it also reignited my struggle with limiting beliefs—especially when presented a chance to take a leap of faith. What if I screw up? What if I do it wrong? In the end, due to timing and a “gut feeling,” I remained grounded. Admittedly, I might go back and change a few things if given the opportunity. Because, in the timely words of a writing friend and mentor: “There is no movement in waiting to do it ‘right.’” A birthday gift to self: One magical life to live. I get to choose what it looks like. To dream new dreams. And to ask instead: What if I just do it?

What holds you back from taking chances?
