Living Life Abundantly

Today I was reminded of the story of Esther and how she stepped out in boldness despite what the outcome was.

Esther was an orphan who found herself in extraordinary circumstances. Throughout her journey she had special people in her life who watched out for her, helping her and instructing her on how to be successful and success is what she found.

When Esther was faced with the greatest challenge she had ever encountered, she didn't run, she didn't become a coward and hide. She continued to listen to wise instruction and she understood that her life had a purpose and plan.

Esther knew that she had to step out in boldness, faith and courage despite what anyone may think of her. Esther knew that she could lose everything again just like when she lost her parents; but, she was called on for such a time as this. In following wise instruction and standing for what she knew she was called for, Esther is known for being a GREAT and COURAGEOUS woman.

There are times when we allow fear to hold us back from our purpose and plan for our life but this is NOT FREEDOM. When we know that there is a burning desire and ability within us to change and affect lives and we sit with it inside us it hurts us and the people that need us.

Whatever ability you have that can benefit people, don't hide it. There is a time and place for everything and when the time is right let your light shine - this is not a cliche it is the truth.

When we can put our ego aside, do what is right and do it at the right time, the rewards are immeasurable.

You do have a purpose and are called for such a time as this. Step out in boldness.

Have you ever had this struggle or victory? I would love to hear about it. Please leave me a message below.

Here's to you living life abundantly,

I usually don't drink the bottom of anything. Tea, coffee, water. I always leave a little in the bottom. I think this is a HUGE indication of what has gone on in my life up until this point. This is the point where I say, "I'm finishing what's in my cup".

You see, usually I take a long time to finish a drink so whatever started hot ends up cold and vice verse so by the time I go back to finish the rest it doesn't taste like all that good. Lukewarm water, cold tea, tepid hot chocolate...no thanks!

Problem is I've done the same with life. I start things and have great ideas but I don't finish them. Obviously we could analyze all day of why and what that means and BELIEVE me I'm an analyzer by nature so been there, done that and that's probably the problem. Today I decided I am tired of over-thinking. I am tired of thinking and not doing what it take for real results, real success in my life.

Today I no longer let fear stand in my way of living life. I will no longer live in a soundproof glass case where I'm stuck watching life being lived around me and having no voice. Today I put my business ideas on paper, with a plan and follow it. Today I'm finishing what's in my cup no matter how much I don't like the taste because I know that life will not always taste good and right path is never easy but it's worth it.
