Hello Renée,

“20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” –Mark Twain

Each one of us has the ability to make our lives better, to get closer and closer to our dreams until they actually come to fruition.  By acknowledging and being grateful for our current riches, we are better able to make our dreams come true.  It is only by giving thanks for what we already have can we be rewarded with more.  So while pursuing your dreams, take the time to give thanks daily.  We are all blessed in so many different ways.  You may even want to start a gratitude journal.

Taking the LEAP with you!

MAKING "IMPOSSIBLE" THINKING POSSIBLE

“For the world is full of zanies and fools who don’t believe in sensible rules, and don’t believe what sensible people say,” wrote Rodgers & Hammerstein, in their lyrics to the 1964 movie Cinderella. “And because these daft and dewy-eyed dopes keep building up impossible hopes, impossible things are happening everyday!”

While most of us are not concerned with turning pumpkins into carriages, our businesses and our lives could be transformed just as powerfully by thinking “impossible” thoughts.

Think about it: How can things ever change—how can business, science or society innovate solutions to world dilemmas; how can our personal lives change trajectories—if we can only imagine what has been possible up to now? We might try to fix problems through automation, motivation and process improvement. But ultimately these efforts will stagnate until we change our mental models.

Our perspectives—the lenses through which we perceive and understand the world—affect all that we see and do. Problems occur when those perspectives become rigid and function more like prison bars, keeping us locked in set mental models, routines and behaviors.

What would happen if we broke out of the prison of those perspectives? What new patterns and relationships would we notice? What new actions would we take?    

“What we perceive as ‘the world’ is as much inside our heads as outside,” write the authors of The Power of Impossible Thinking, Jerry Wind and Colin Crook. “By realizing this and making choices about how we see things, we can become much more effective.”

Thinking impossible thoughts is not just the realm of fairy godmothers or eccentric inventors. We can all zoom in or out of our previous mindsets with a little practice. Wind and Crook suggest a variety of ways to begin to see differently—before a crisis or failure of the old model has made it too late.

DON'T PUT YOUR DREAMS ON HOLD

Let’s get straight to the point…we all have a finite amount of time on this planet. One day our work will be done here on earth, and no one has a crystal ball to notify us when exactly that day will come.   I know this too well with my brother's recent sudden death at the age of 60.  It was a wake up call to live my best life!

So I want to know, what are you going to do with the remaining, rare and precious moments you have?

You have hopes, dreams and desires inside of you. When are you going to get to them? Later, when you’re older and more tired?

Of course, there are a million reasons why you shouldn’t…you have errands to run, bills to pay, work to do, and people to care for. Guess what…that never stops.

Right NOW is the only time that you can count on. Right now you have the fire. Right now you have breath to breathe. Right now is the only reality you know. The future is an illusion and the past is a memory. So, do yourself (and everyone else) a favor and get moving on those dreams TODAY.

Steve Jobs, co-founder and visionary of Apple Computer, said it best when he said, “Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Today is your day. Now is your time.

Don’t look back 5, 10, 20 years from now regretting you waited so long to go after something that mattered - or worse yet…that you didn't even try! 

I would really love to chat with you so you can start planning NOW what actions you can take to make your dreams come true and live your best life!

When thinking the impossible and taking actions to make it possible, it often helps to have reminders of our abilities and powers and messages to help us fight back our own demons and fears. 

I have created a poster for you with one of my favorite quotes to print and pin in a location whereby you can see it everyday.  After all, your playing small does not serve the world.  People are waiting for you to show up!  Get out of your comfort zone and play BIG!

Renée Blasky is the Founder and CEO of The LEAP Network Ltd.

She wasn’t always the risk-taking entrepreneur that she is today. Through several important life experiences, including being an "expat" for the vast majority of her life and sailing an ocean, she learned the importance and benefits of risk-taking and how to embrace risk rather than fear it! Renée also realized capturing life’s fulfillment meant giving back to others. So, she started her second business: The LEAP Network in order to share her experiences and expertise with "trailing spouses" who have sacrificed their careers to move across the globe when their spouses are transferred overseas.  Renée coaches on ways to avoid the "trailing spouse syndrome" to eliminate frustration, boredom and loneliness while becoming more fulfilled and happy!
