What do you value?

It occurred me to early today that as human beings, we place levels of value on every aspect of our lives. For most, money is a big value grabber. We seek after it, we work hard for it, and we enjoy spending that hard earned dollar on things we want. There never seems to be quite enough of it. It’s a seemingly limited commodity. But I dare say that what we value even more, as human beings is our time and our energy. Think about it. What is it you spend your time doing? What do you put your attention on during your day? Where is your energy being expended?

Yesterday I was talking with a co-worker about the Dreambodies transformation system I’m currently enjoying. I explained to her the incredible value of this program, and about the cost of a deal they’re running for the summer. She actually said back to me ‘Well, I don’t want to pay for it. I can do that stuff on my own.’

I was taken back. I appreciated her frankness and what took me back was the realization that I had been, up until a couple months ago, living MY life that way too! And my word I am astonished at the change in my mindset at this juncture! How I would LOVE to implant what is in my heart to everyone who feels the same way; ‘I can do this on my own. I don’t want to pay for it.’ That, my friends, is an excuse that will suffocate and bury your dreams! Every. Last. One. of. Them. And let me tell you why.

As I was working out this morning, that conversation came back to me. I realized that we as human beings wish for a lot of things in life! We wish we could lose twenty pounds or have the tight abs on the amazing body gracing the cover of a magazine. We wish we could focus more at work and be recognized for going above and beyond. We wish we could get more done in our day, or at the very least we wish we didn’t feel so damn tired all the time. We wish for more wealth, and yet we squander the abundance that is all around us – our very LIFE ENERGY. We’re literally swimming in it. There is nothing of more value than that. I know because I’ve been awakening to my life energy and it is remarkable.

When I jumped in with both feet on this journey, something had occurred to me with regard to the value of money for me, and I hope you might consider this. You’re going to spend it anyway. Think about it. You make what you make. You spend it how you spend it. The way in which you spend it offers you insight into what you deem worthy of not only your financial gain, but more importantly and ultimately more valuable – your time and energy. Said another way, to my friend who commented that she didn’t want to pay for it… if you’re not willing to put your money towards something that you say you want… what makes you think that you would spend your time and energy on achieving it??

Your dreams are always within reach. We aren’t accustomed to being with that expression. We’re accustomed to literally wishing our lives away. I’m here to invite you to stop wishing and start really LIVING the life you were born to live. It doesn’t take money. It doesn’t take programs, or books, or shooting stars. It takes an honest evaluation of your greatest dreams, a map of your current reality, and it takes you investing your most valuable time and energy towards that end. You can achieve anything! The world is your oyster! I say, dive!
