• Unlock your mind, it's time to really think about your life and what It could look like. Write down your aspirations-(do not write or journal if you feel unsafe about who might discover or read it.
   A woman in an abusive situation must
   proceed with caution.* If you are able to
   write openly without fear of prying eyes,
   this excercise is invaluable to gaining clarity.
   Let it be known that you are a powerful and brave person. (Sometimes we just forget).

You are beginning the process of taking back your life. In these quiet moments, ask questions out loud if you can. I talk to God.
You can talk to whom ever you like... God, Higher Power, Universe or the clouds...but
you need to speak your intentions.

"No one is ever remembered for living their unintentionally."

• While journaling, List your fears. Why are
    you afraid?

• List your answers. Are they justified?

• What would it feel like to NOT be scared
   anymore? What would attaining that
   cost you? What would it cost you not to.

• List the ways that these fears have held
   you back in your life. Where might you be
   today if fear was inconsequential.
   If you could turn the channel on your life
   would you do it?

• Each day do one thing, anything, to move
   forward in your pursuit of clarity and
   your goal of pain2power!

John Maxwell (johnmaxwell.com) is one such person. After attending 
one of Mr. Maxwells dynamic speaking engagements I had to smile at how simple this concept is.. and how much you can gain from doing it.
