“There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” – Nelson Mandela
Have you ever had the feeling that there is just “something more” – more possibilities – more things you are meant to experience and accomplish? It’s not that you’re not grateful for every single thing that you do have, it’s just that deep down, you know “this can’t be it”. There’s just got to be something more out there for you.
Well, if you have ever felt that way, then you understand exactly how I felt several years ago. Although I couldn’t really explain it clearly, something just felt “off”.
I now realize though that I am not the only one who has had this feeling that there is “something more”. There are so many different causes for this feeling depending on our particular situation – sometimes it stems from feeling like we’re not living up to our potential; or maybe we realize our primary relationship isn’t really working; or maybe we’ve been running through life year after year overextending ourselves and it has taken it’s toll; or maybe we continue to struggle with the same bad habits or financial issues; or maybe it’s something more subtle – perhaps we aren’t listening to that voice deep inside that urges us to believe in ourselves and go after those things we truly desire.
Whatever the cause may be, that feeling that something is not right just gnaws at us day after day. And, what I finally realized, is that we’ve got to do something about it. We can’t just let it linger and think that somehow it’s going to magically disappear.
We’ve got to figure out what’s working; admit to ourselves what’s not; and then most importantly make the necessary changes.
Making changes may be the last thing we want to do – especially if we have found a way to tolerate whatever is not working. But, what I have also realized is that we’re not meant to “tolerate” life – we’re supposed to enjoy it. I mean really, really enjoy it and also enjoy all of the people, experiences and possibilities that are out there.
Are You Ready? It’s Time to Go.
And, since it’s a new year and we all have a nice new slate of 365 days, I would love for you to join me and find the way to your own “something more”. I know I am always asking you to join me on challenges and hopefully you’re ready and willing since we also have committed to Living Today Better than Yesterday.
Doing these challenges is one of the best ways to ensure that we are actually getting more and more of the things we want for our life, growing and really living today better than we did yesterday. It’s like that great quote by Leo Tolstoy reminds us -
“Each person’s task in life is to become an increasingly better person.”
So, for 2013, I think a great thing for us all to do is find our way to our “something more”. Don’t you just feel like it’s time?
As many of you already know, I am putting the finishing touches on my course that is the roadmap and shows you exactly how to take the 7 steps to reach your “something more”. It’s going to be ready to launch in just a couple more weeks and I am so excited to finally be able to share it with you.
But, for now, it’s time to get all revved up and ready to go after your “something more.” So, if you’re interested in joining me this year and taking a big step forward, TODAY is the day to start thinking … What is your “something more”?
The Possibility of Today
1. Take some “Me” time. Take some time today, grab a cup of coffee or tea and just sit and think about what you really want for your life. What’s working? What’s not working? What do you feel like you’re meant to do? Write down your answers – we’re going to need them in a couple of weeks.
2. Take the Possibility of Today Quiz. If you haven’t already, Click Here and take this quick 5 minute quiz so you can see if there is anything you’re doing that is working against you or holding you back. We’ve got to make sure your path is nice and clear so you can take these 7 steps and reach your “something more.”
Live Today Better than Yesterday.

“Worrying is praying for what you DON’T want” – I believe that we need to change our mindset to find out what this “MORE” is about. Focusing on what we DON’T want, blocks our mind. Interested to hear what you think.

Hi Sibyl, i discovered your site today and it brought me out of a lull , i was feeling really negative because i didnt get to do what i was supposed to do and i felt guilty and sad. The last few weeks ive been a bit down so doing your test encouraged me to realise that i can do what ever i want if i work towards it daily, ive written down areas in my life that i want to improve and downloaded the living better daily scorecard and your 8 principles of success check and balance worksheet. Also im going to join you Living Today Better than Yesterday for 2013, ive just made me a hot chocolate drink and im going to take some Me Time, so just want to say Thank You
Dawn – Yeah:) I am so excited you’re going to be joining me. It’s going to be an amazing 2013. I also am glad that you found your way here. I know how it feels to be in a slump, but as you said, once you remind yourself of what you’re really capable of and you start focusing on taking steps every single day, you really can make huge strides and get to exactly where you want to be. Thanks so much for the comment and stopping by.

Nice – You’re all over it Kristine:) So great you did this before 2012. I think when you really put your attention on focus on what you want and then use your days to take a step forward every single day toward what you want, you will reach your goal. Yes, it’s a journey, but it’s a good one. You learn so much along the way:) So glad you’re doing it and thank you so much for staying with me all these years.
