"I made my own assessment of my life and I began

to live it. That was freedom."

Fernando Flores

We support our loved ones, wanting them to live full lives, but what about our own? When was the last time we deliberately sat down and inventoried our needs and how we meet them. What of desires and dreams? Have we given up by investing all of our resources into others, allowing ourselves to decline?

As we age, our attention gets diverted into various responsibilities, and unfortunately, our name ends up last on the list. And of course, by the time we reach the bottom, there is no creative energy left. Where did we stray off course and how can we direct ourselves back into a productive routine enhancing our life? 

When we think of ourselves in the given moment, do we have an updated version and how does it compare to earlier expectations? Name who is in your way ... more than likely it is no one other than us. Get out of the way and rekindle a creative fire and follow through. Begin small but consistently feeding the fire until we begin to roar!
