In this time in human history, it is becoming more and more important for people to tap into the power they have inside. The days of being comfortably numb for many of us are over, and we are being called and challenged to evolve. In order to make this happen, we're going to have to start making some bold moves - and that can feel quite scary. Bold moves may bring up fear, but consider the alternative. For most of us staying the same is no longer an option - and in fact may be an even more frightening idea.

I've reached this point in my life, and as I look around I see more and more people who are feeling the same thing. As energies, beliefs, even our very foundations seem to be literally shifting faster than we can keep up with, we are finding ourselves in a mass transition. We're not really sure what to do, and all we know for sure is "well - not THAT." Believe it or not - this is an excellent place to begin when moving into a new direction. When you know for sure what's not working, you begin the conscious and subconscious search for what does. Then, and only then, do the possibilities begin to flow into your awareness.

Bold moves are what it's going to take to keep up with the speed of things. As Debbie Ford says in her book The 21 Day Consciousness Cleanse, it's time to look at yourself in the mirror and say "This isn't cute anymore." It's time for us to get up off of our couches, put the Iphone down, turn off the TV and ask ourselves what life is all about. What are you here for? What are your passions and desires? What's stopping you from doing it?

Bold moves mean different things to different people. For some it could mean quitting that job you hate. For some it could mean ending that relationship that you know is not serving you anymore. It could mean contacting a person who is earning a million dollars or more a year in your industry and asking them out to lunch. For others is could be making a commitment to discovering your passions and doing something about them by the end of the year. It doesn't really matter what it is, but the time is now.

You've been waiting for someone to say this to you - so here it is: THE TIME IS NOW. IT ISN'T CUTE ANYMORE. YOU KNOW YOU'RE MEANT FOR SOMETHING GREAT - AND IT'S TIME TO TAKE A STEP TOWARDS IT.

As I write this to you, I am aware that this is a conversation I have been having with myself. I am making my lists of bold moves, and it won't be long before you see them manifest. However, each time I do I come face to face with my fears, my own limiting beliefs and ideas about life, and resistance to change. I find that as much as I want to let go of certain patterns, I'm so identified with them that letting them go feels really hard to do.

The reason that I am able to persevere through all that is the reason I had mentioned before, the idea of staying the same has now become more painful than change. I suppose that's the real fire for most of us that causes major life transformation. The question I have for you now is, are you there yet? The truth is: you don't have to wait until things become a train wreck in order to move. You can simply make a decision based on the life you know you really want to be living. You can make a decision based on the contribution to the world that you want to make and the relationships you want to experience. You have the power to do that.

I invite you now to decide on a bold move for your life. C'mon - make it a good one. Something juicy and exciting, thrilling and scary all at once. Think about it and notice how alive you feel. Think about a time you did something scary before - maybe it was recently, maybe it was a few years ago. You didn't think you could, but you did. Remember how powerful you felt? Your soul craves expansion. Today is the day. The moment is now. You are held and guided and protected, and you will be supported. The whole universe jumps up and down for joy and feels absolute delight in this bold move you're about to take. Remember, a long journey begins with a single step.
