The BEST way to live an AWESOME LIFE is to do it YOUR way, because...

If you don’t do it YOUR way, then whose way will you do it?

So, if you want to live a life free from REGRET, then follow me to today’s Baby Step…

BABY STEP

Let’s take a cue from Frankie and choose to look behind us with a better attitude:

“REGRETS, I've had a few. But then again, TOO FEW TO MENTION.”

Because when we really think about it, there have been very few regrets. The problem happens when we harp on those same few. Only then does it feel like we’ve achieved a lifetime of muck-ups. And 100% of the time those regrets are a result of us ignoring our intuition (#wise within).

Well, I don’t know about you, but I am definitely ready to break free from the vicious cycle of Woulda. Shoulda. Coulda. Didn’t :(

You see, regret is the one state of mind that will not only stop us from moving forward, it will also methodically and forcefully pull us back to where we were to keep us stuck where we are.

Regret is like cement.

When you first step in wet cement, you think about what a mess you’re in. But as you stand there worrying about how to get the cement off your shoes, it slowly begins to solidify. And before you know it, you’re permanently planted in a block of concrete so thick only a jackhammer can set you free.

Well, then, allow me to be that jackhammer for you. Here's how to break free:

  1. Allocate a bit of time before you start your day to get yourself online with your inner GPS...aka the personalized Divine guidance that's patiently waiting to lead you in the direction that's best for Y-O-U.

  2. Recognize that if it doesn't feel right, then it's definitely not right for Y-O-U.

Then use this paraphrased (present-tense) Baby Step version of Frankie’s iconic anthem and belt it out whenever you need to get yourself unstuck NOW to make your LATER infinitely better…

I’ll face it all, and I’ll stand tall. And I’ll do it MY WAY.
