Brilliant Breakthroughs - Tiny But Mighty Moments In Life
THE Ah-Ha Moments and Brilliant Breakthroughs In LIfe -
This article is dedicated to my loving mom who was tiny but mighty and my teacher and mentor in countless ways.
We all get to decide how we want our life to go, and which direction to set our sail. My mom was always reaching for the stars, living her dream and loving her life, as she created it day by day. She wasn’t afraid to open new doors of possibilities, and when she did that’s where she found her ah-ha moments in life!
I hope for you that you dream big and set your sight on the stars and land in the heavens AND have a lot of ah-ha moments and breakthroughs along the way.
Here is how Merriam-Webster defines a "Breakthrough" - an act or instance of moving through or beyond an obstacle"
The truth is brilliant breakthroughs and ah-ha moments come from real people, just like you and me.
Not just Steve Jobs, Arianna Huffington or Dave Asprey.
In the photo of this post, my friends and I are celebrating the emotional and physical breakthroughs that we defined as the obstacles holding us back from our dreams!
Have you ever experienced a breakthrough that changed the direction of your life and caused you to course correct?
If you have, then you know how powerful they can be.
At first, I was feeling scared about the process and I wasn’t exactly sure why. But I think it was because it felt scary to actually STEP INTO MY DREAMS AND ELIMINATE MY ROADBLOCKS. Because, If I did that, there would be no more excuses!! WOW!.
MAY I ASK YOU?
WHAT are the BIG dreams that lie inside you?
WHAT actions, skills, and strategies do you need to take to fulfill your future?
Who can you ask to help you out?
A coach? A friend? A mentor? A teacher?
Maybe NOW is a good time to write down your desires and start to dream BIGGER than ever before.
Maybe you can be thinking about 'what could be' vs. settling for 'what is'.
All of my friends that participated in this exercise showed up with a strong desire, commitment and intention to follow their dreams.
YOU CAN TOO. IT’S NEVER TOO LATE.
WHAT breakthrough do you need?
WHAT obstacle is holding you back?💥
AND JUST IN CASE YOU’RE CURIOUS -
HERE’S HOW THE BREAKTHROUGH EXERCISE WENT DOWN:
We were instructed to take a plank board, like the ones we were holding.
1st STEP: Write on one side of the board what you want to create in your life and make happen.
2nd STEP: Write on the backside of the board what is holding you back, or the obstacles in your way.
3rd: STEP: We had a leader guide us through the process to actually BREAK THE BOARD IN HALF!
I was honored to be chosen as one of the leaders to help others "breakthru" their boards and into their dreams. Not everyone broke their board the first time or even the second or third time.
When that happened, we sent them to another guide to help them out.
99% of the time
they broke their boards!
It was the most incredible, amazing and inspiring feeling ever! It was as if we had already accomplished our dreams once we broke our boards!
IF YOU WROTE ON A BOARD TODAY THAT YOU WERE GOING TO BREAK,
WHAT WORDS WOULD YOU WRITE?
If you are someone who BELIEVES that there is always something to discover, create and learn,
these beliefs will empower you into a GROWTH MINDSET.
A GROWTH MINDSET WILL GET YOU EVERYWHERE! TO THE PLACE OF “IM - POSSIBLE”
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE when you believe, step aside fear, follow the faith and let your curiosity lead you.
Every one of my friends showed up to do this exercise with a strong desire, commitment and intention to follow their dreams.
Having an open mindset to the possibilities in your life may be the best gift you give yourself 💫
I know for me, it surely was! 💃👑❤️oh, btw, my words to break thru were fear, self-doubt, rejection & confidence! What might yours be?

Lots of love, faith and hope
