			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all have fears that keep us trapped in our current circumstances, yes?</p>
<p>OK, maybe I shouldn&#8217;t &#8220;assume&#8221; that is true for everyone and I know it is true for everyone I&#8217;ve met (hum, what does that say &#8217;bout me, eh?).</p>
<p>Often those fears are because we&#8217;re seeing the big picture, thinking we have to do it ALL right now. Make a big leap, jump into the water with both feet. Take on the world in one big bite.</p>
<p>What if that isn&#8217;t true? What if your only job was to take 1 step, 1 <em>little baby step</em>? Wouldn&#8217;t that make things easier? Less frightening? Easier to handle and step into?</p>
<p>So often our fears are based on something that is no longer true&#8230;a message that was embedded in our brain, in our very cells, a very long time ago. And we haven&#8217;t questioned them to see if they&#8217;re still true <em>today</em>, when we&#8217;re all grown up and no longer reliant on someone else for our very survival.</p>
<p>Several years ago I saw the movie &#8220;What About Bob&#8221; and laughed &#8217;til I &#8217;bout fell on the floor. I&#8217;ve looked at the movie from many different perspectives&#8230;and I&#8217;ve gotten a whole new perspective by seeing how I can give myself credit for taking chances, moving forward, taking baby steps and celebrating what I HAVE done, instead of dissing what I haven&#8217;t done. </p>
<p>Watch this 1:11 minute clip and see if you can find a way to rewrite your viewpoint, your story, about what is happening in your world!</p>
<p><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YrbY4hsNh64&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x5d1719&#038;color2=0xcd311b&#038;border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YrbY4hsNh64&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x5d1719&#038;color2=0xcd311b&#038;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object></p>
<p>This part of the movie gives me the biggest chuckle every time I watch it&#8230;because everything is in how we view it, how we write our story if you will. And dear darlin&#8217; Bob, whom some would consider positively, certifiably, nuts gives himself credit for sailing when many would not. Now isn&#8217;t that empowering!</p>
<p>How can you sail today? What baby step can you take <em>toward </em> your Kick-Butt Life? How can you give yourself credit for the many many steps you HAVE taken?</p>
<p>To your success!</p>
<p>love and light, hugs and blessings<br />
