Choose Your Own Adventure, Anything Goes

Remember those books back in the day called: Choose Your Own Adventure?

My favorite CYOA Book was about a girl dragon slayer. She would slowly and stealthy enter the mouth of the cave with he sword in hand… and the book would instruct me that is was MY choice…would she continue to walk into the darkness sure to find the dragon, or would she get second thoughts exit the cave and wait until morning. With those books you could take a leap and do the dangerous thing, or you could play it safe. I know with the CYOA I would always take the boldest most daring option. I mean, if I get to choose I’m Going For It!

Well for 2011 I want to live that way too and I’m giving you permission to live the same way. You just have to give YOU permission. People stay in jobs they are Miserable with, People stay in relationships just to play it safe but not because they are happy, people put their dreams on the backburner everyday because they feel they are not experts, good enough, are comfy playing small etc. etc. etc. I know because I do/and have done all of these things.

We can start the movement together. 2011:Choose Your Own Adventure, Anything Goes!

We’re getting out of our boxes in 2011 and living like our lives are out of a storybook. Why? Because in the same way the dragon slayer could have left the cave (and postponed living in her purpose) you too can Always go back to living the safe way you know how.
