Yeah, I Got Nothing LOL

The boss at work sent around the below 'inspirational' email a month or so ago (how time flies), and I have been keeping it in my for a 'rainy day' post. Yeah, inspiration for original content is somewhat lacking tonight - sorry peeps. You can of course reserve the right not to read it :)

Damn, I never thought I would be reduced to the status of recycling chain emails for content LOL. Even the boss said when she sent it out, she wouldn't send this type of thing usually, but it got to her. That's my defence, following the example of a superior, and I'm sticking to it :)

'"Ships are safe in the harbour, but that is not what ships are built for."

"You cannot discover new oceans unless you lose sight of the shore."

"Life and our ultimate success is all about "the choices we make"

The decision to "leave the shore to discover new oceans" is all about choice. Some captains (and we are all captains of our own ship and destiny) are happy to feel safe and stay in the harbour. There is no right or wrong answer.

Here are a few tips to decide whether you decide to leave the safety of your harbour.

1. Choosing 'not to decide' is a choice.

2. If you're not making your choices, then who is?

It's time to find out and identify who or what forces and voices you are listening to instead of your own and take back control. It is amazing that sometimes the people who are "controlling" us and making our choices us are not even alive!

3. There are no wrong choices, only different ones.

If you don't like where you are right now, choose something else.

4. Whether you choose or let the choice be made for you, something is going to happen.

Why not take the steering wheel and go in the direction you want.

5. When you make choices based on your heart and your own vision, the rewards are much more fulfilling and powerful.

6. Making deliberate choices over time increases your ability to consistently make choices that are more aligned with what you want.

7. When you make your own choices you build your ability to expand your boundaries.

(my* motto for boundaries is: set 'em high and wide).

8. When you start making your own choices it changes who you are in a positive way and might even rub off on the significant others around you.

9. When you start making conscious choices you will start living the life you dream about.

10. Making YOUR choices gives you authentic power.'

* I always love the 'my' references in chain emails. Who is it who has put this personalised comment in? Bill Gates? Osama Bin Laden? Bill Clinton? Jenna Jameson?

You don't have to worry, I am not going to go down the route of posting the 'getting to know you/here's 35 random questions' chain emails. At least, not this week.
