WELCOME!!
The moment we’ve all been waiting for with bated breath and arms suspended mid reach in the popcorn bucket …
The unveiling of the masterpiece that’s been in the making over 3 months …
What is it! What IS it!?
Ladies n gennelmen, revered jury and esteemed ticker tapethrowers, welcome! (Can you tell I’m having fun yet :D)?
To the newly redesigned, rebranded and repurposed Your Life YOUR Way website, your resource for all things freedom, inspiration, fun and passion related.
(Cue: Crowd goes mad with applause)
Thank you, thank you.
A little background: This website started back in April 2009 as a labour of love, my home in the web-o-sphere of coaching, law of attraction and inspired action. As with all things living (yes, I did just call my website living!), growth and expansion stretches your jeans to the seams.
Fast forward to 2010. It takes a lot of courage, introspection and jumping into the wild frothy waves of action to admit it’s time to move on, “grow up”.
Or should I say grow INTO (cos growing up isn’t for me ;)..
More. More Me. More YOU. More of what I stand for. More expression. More truth. More stretching. More of what’s Important.
Coach T.I.A – Take Inspired Action was a fun, inspiring first foray into the world of entrepreneurship and has since naturally evolved into Your Life YOUR Way.
Which is about a lifestyle, about choices. It’s not just about me. It’s about us.
It’s about getting to the CORE of what every one of us wants in life. A movement towards and for ..
Freedom.
Freedom.
FREEDOM.
The freedom that comes from knowing who you are, what you want, what you stand for and what you are here to do.
The freedom that comes from not living according to people’s expectations. Or even your own.
The freedom that comes from pure expression and experiencing life as one big ride, with ups and downs and knowing that through it all, it turns out right.
The freedom that comes from creation.
From being happy with 80% instead of waiting for 100%, which never happens.
From deciding to “build a small fire and sitting close to it” as Charlie would say. Letting it warm you.
You could sit around waiting till all conditions are perfect for you to take that leap into the unknown, whether it’s quitting a job you hate or moving on from a dead end relationship.
(Actually, this is easy. When something sucks so much, moving on is easier than when everything is good enough to get by, even if it’s not stoking the fire within).
Or you could raise your hand for freedom!
Freedom of choice. Freedom of career. Freedom to travel. Freedom to change your thoughts and beliefs. Freedom to change your life. Freedom to Live the way YOU want. Freedom to define what that means.
Your Life YOUR Way means all of the above. Focusing on what really matters. Being happy. Being content. Being courageously you. Living aligned with your values.
Closer to home, Freedom is embracing that my purpose is to express my creativity, thoughts, passion, values .. not to “inspire millions of people”, something I said as recently as yesterday, but to make the most of this gift of life.
I’m the catalyst, the spark that ignites your flame and makes you reach out for the best version of you.
But more than than, the best gift I could ever give myself or you, is to be the spark that ignites MY flame, define and live my life the way I want, without fear, without excuses, without conforming.
(And in doing so, give you the permission to do the same).
Understanding and embracing my differences, refusing to accept the status quo and being just a little bit bolder when it comes to doing it my way.
My life MY Way means allowing the Spiritual, Self Actualisation junkie part of me to co-exist AND co-create with the Inspired Entrepreneur intent on creating a life of abundance.
It means including all the essential parts of me, and finding a way to make it work.
It means marrying my passion for conscious creation, personal development, law of attraction, coaching, entrepreneurship, social media, technology, adventure, travel and simple living and leaving nothing out.
It means playing, getting messy, screwing up, falling down, being laughed at, laughing at myself, letting my heart beat fast as I hop outside my comfort zone, and doing it anyways.
It means saying things like this, refining what I stand for and saying it loud and clear.
It means remembering that this life is my best shot at happiness before I turn into stardust and so, would I rather swing out and hit some pitches while missing a bunch of them, or sit on my hands and never hit one just in case I missed and someone laughed?
I think we know the answer to that.
It means freedom, passion, inspiration, fun.
Or whatever that looks like for you, then finding, owning and LIVING it out loud.
If you’re someone with many interests and passions and want to combine them into some sort of a career that allows you to travel, explore, take sabbaticals and start your own online business, or if you’ve just started your own service centered business (coaching, creative consulting) and are looking for business support & mentoring to build your practice so you can live the life of freedom you want, I can help you!!
Head on over to Work with me for more info.
One of the best ways to learn is by seeing what super successful, passionate and inspired people living their life THEIR way have done. So on some Fridays (or Wednesdays – it varies), you’ll want to check out the Your Life YOUR Way interview series featuring the coolest, funnest, bravest people I know who’ve done just that – found their way, owned it and are living it full out.
Thanks for being here, for reading and for being ready to be more of YOU as you create the life YOU want.
I’d love to hear from you about what Living Your Life YOUR Way means to YOU so leave a comment below and state it loud and clear like you MEAN it. Then, join me on this MISSION to live your best life ever!
