Your Defining Moments
Throughout history, every human being at some point in their life is faced with at least one pivotal life changing experience.
Some will even experience a series of events in their lifetime that change the course of their personal history forever.
I call those experiences your defining moments.
Defining moments are when a transformation or radical shift occurs inside you and you are never the same afterwards.
Your defining moments may occur upon meeting a pivotal person such as a mentor or when you lock eyes with your soulmate or your spouse for the first time. Perhaps it is when you become a parent, face an illness or experience the loss of a loved one.
Quite often, your defining moments are thrust upon you unexpectedly. You are going about your day to day life when something happens that causes a shift.
For others, there is another type of defining moment.
The type of moment that originates from within by making a clear, conscious decision.
A decision that originates with the desire for change.
For Rosa Parks, it was on a bus in the south.
Her defining moment altered the course of American history.
For Napoleon Hill it was through the study of success.
His defining moment lives on to this day in the timeless lessons and books he gifted us.
For Rhonda Byrne, it was the commitment to realize her Goal of making a movie (The Secret).
Her defining moment left a monumental imprint on the modern day personal growth industry.
For Mother Teresa, it was to devote her life to serving the poorest of the poor.
Her defining moment led her to a Nobel Peace Prize and a legacy of contribution on a global level.
The one thing each of those legendary figures has in common is this.
Decision.
They made a conscious decision to make a contribution beyond themselves.
They set their Goal.
They committed.
They took the necessary actions, no matter what, to see it through.
You see, you have the same ability to consciously create your own defining moments any time you want.
Don't sit around and wait for life to send you that defining moment.
Create it by taking a stand for what you believe in, for who you want to become and what you want to give and contribute to the world.
If you could give, be, have, do and become anything you want, what would that be?
What is your legacy?
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
