I speak with women every day.  We jam on dangerously deep desires and crazy ideas about changing the world.  We set goals and make plans.

We’re ambitious.
Like, mega ambitious.

We’re insane enough to actually believe (or at the very least are working to shift our beliefs) that we can have a lifestyle we love and make meaningful impact on the planet. We know it’s possible.

And, man…we can be hard on ourselves!
And it breaks my heart.

Take 4 minutes and do this now.

It will make you feel all yummy and wonderful. As a wonderful additional benefit, to the answers to these questions will actually help to propel you forth.

#1: What am I most proud of in 2011?

#2: What is something I thought would crush me, but it didn’t?

#3: What am I still working towards, even though I sometimes feel discouraged?

#4: What is something I managed to have in my life that I never imagined could happen when it did?

That’s all.
No goals.  No ambition.  No to-do list.
Today, we just appreciate.

And I am appreciating YOU. Thank you for being alive. I mean it.
