Stoke Your Fire


"Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life.
Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into the flames of achievement."
 - Golda Meir


Well said Golda. 
So stoke the fire! What causes your heart to quicken or the corners of your mouth to lift?
Perhaps there will be days (or years, or months) when your inner fire will dwindle to a smoldering ember and you may forget for what your heart burns. So step away from yourself and listen. Leave the image of who you should be behind, sit naked at the edge of your bed, and listen to the whispers that arise from within. Trust yourself. Then catch the whispers and fan them into a rip-roaring audacious flame.

.......Or else, take a page out of Jessica’s book, shout affirmations at yourself in the mirror each morning, and notice how your spirits lift.



P.S.
A little humor.... (I was skeptical too, just watch it)

Swedish director Johannes Nyholm made this hilarious short film, starring his baby, about a middle-aged woman on vacation trashing a bar.
