Are You Living Out Loud?
I live my life by this question, "Are you living out loud?"
I included the picture of my daughter McKenna and I running the Capitol 10K last year. It was her first road race and I really felt her excitement of running with such a large group of motivated people. I can tell you that this run was something I had envisioned since she was a baby. And then it happened and I felt such JOY! Yes, it was a rainy day and it was glorious!
That was an incredible day for us, mother and daughter running over 6 miles together. Talking, laughing, sweating together as we accomplished our goal. Talk about living out loud!
Am I living in
the present moment?
Am I open to the possibilities in my life? Am I looking for greatness? The
Law of Attraction.
says that whatever we focus our energy and attention on, we will attract more of the same, whether it is wanted or unwanted.
So, when we focus on positive, wonderful things we are attracting more of the same. This is why it seems as if sometimes everything is just going "right" for us, that we can do no wrong!
How Can I Live My Life Out Loud?
But what is living out loud? It is living your life with excitement, passion and energy!
Excitement
When's the last time you could not sleep at night? Not because you were worried or stressed, but because you are excited? Are you thrilled by your life? If not, when did you lose that? Take a minute and think about that....when did you lose the excitement for your day?
Passion
Do you feel passion for what you do? So many of us equate our livelihood with who we are. Who we are is not what we do! Passion is one of the greatest emotions because it creates such vibrancy in our lives.
It is like Dorothy stepping into OZ, everything is a colorful and rich around us, living without passion in our lives is like.....Well, you remember what Dorothy's life looked like before she opened the door, black and white. Not to be corny, but it is important to remember how the Wizard of Oz ends with Dorothy realizing that she always had the power. You have the power!
You are the one in control of your life! Take ownership of it! If you don't like how your life looks, that's a great thing because you have the power to change how it looks.
Energy
Do you have energy for all the wonderful things in your life. Energy is a strange commodity, when you use it, it is replenished and you gain more energy. Haven't you ever noticed that when you spend the day on the couch you have no energy? It's because you are not using any energy! When you are busy, living life on purpose, your energy is always be depleted and renewed. If you've never experienced this, it is a wonderful thing!
