I am sure you have heard someone tell you "just start," as if life is that simple.

I used to be one of those people.

"Just take massive action" I would say.

START NOW.

Yet, what I am now realizing, "starting" has more to do with STOPPING.

What do I mean by this?

If you focus on looking at yourself in the mirror, truly reflecting on yourself and your life, deep down you know the things you must STOP doing. The habits that hold you back. The people that hold you back. The environments that hold you back.

If you STOP allowing the negative in your life, the positive automatically enters through the door.

It is literally at your doorstep right now.

Yet, you aren't allowing them into your home (head, heart, soul).

Yes it is this simple.

Focus less on all the things you need to "start." Our world throws so much at you, pressures you to act like you can be everywhere at once, be everything to everyone at once... YOU CAN'T.

But what you can do is STOP the self-destructive habits, and open your arms to the opportunities that will occur when you do.

So what are you STOPPING this Sunday so that you can START a new week as a new you?!?

Write it down and take massive action on it!

p.s. today I am grateful that I will be flying to Las Vegas tomorrow to see some friends that I haven't seen in a long time. One thing I am "stopping" is getting so trapped in "work" that I forget to spend time off with friends and family.
