Decisions are easy when you follow your heart! No anxiety, no headaches - just know what is right, and do it!

What springs into your mind when you say the word “Boundary”?

If you’re me, you think of Cricket!

Yes, really, that’s the first thing I think of when I hear the word Boundary.

We all go through different experiences in our lives. Some good, some bad.

And it’s how we MANAGE those experiences that shapes us as human beings, and allows us to make the best of the hand we’ve been dealt.

So many people are disappointed that their life is not wall-to-wall happiness and joy. But NOBODY’S life is like that!

We’re all human. And we all share similar human conditions and situations.

Ever wondered why you seem to end up down the same cul-de-sac of answers every time you ask yourself something?

There is something very attractive about someone who knows what they’re doing.

Someone who knows where they’re going, and what they want.

I had a friend whose catch-phrase was “Life is wonderful!”

You may think he was one of those annoyingly jolly people who had no idea how others suffer.

Not so. He was a Jew. In Austria. In 1938.

I don’t mean ghosts and things that go bump in the night.

I don’t even mean car crashes, freak weather, or the internet going down ;-)

I mean - what is something you really would like to do and you just can’t get yourself into motion with it?

Most of us are brought up to think that you drift from day to day, following the rough path you mapped out for yourself once, maybe a long time ago. And you hope that one day you may attain what you want.

You started out because you wanted to spend all day frolicking in the sunshine with dogs! Training them; grooming them; massaging them …

Balancing books, paying bills, employing people - perhaps none of these were on your list of fun things to do!

I can remember it now.

The shame.

I had asked a question and I was trampled.

I was about 7 or 8. I’d spilt something in art class. The teacher tossed me a cloth and told me to clear it up.

Who’s running your show?

Really.

Is it you?

Or is it your job, your family, the television schedules, your bank balance?

Are you all set to get moving, on that new life you’ve dreamed of?  

Trouble is, you mention your plans to friends and family and they universally say, “Oh no! That won’t work.”

How often have you heard someone say this?

And how often have you said it yourself? Be honest! It’s a common enough thing for people to say.

It can be hard sometimes to believe that there’s a way out.

You may have been stuck for so long in your circumstance that you think that’s where you’ll stay for ever.

Have you ever found yourself saying this?

Or perhaps it’s “I’m so worried about this ..” or just plain “Why me?”

We all have times in our lives when we may feel everything’s become too much.

.. and each moment gives you the opportunity to decide if that’s who you want to be.

Are you feeling you’ve missed the boat? That somehow everyone else is trucking along on their mission, but you’re left wondering what your mission even is?
