More than capable.

Dear Aspen reader,

Wine, hummus, and avocado oil= what do all of these have in common? Each of these products has been created by the PRESSURE that's been put onto them. If products this delicious can come out of beans and fruit think of all that you can accomplish!

Let today be the day that you rise up and start believing that you are truly capable of more than you know. Each of us has a unique seed planted on the inside and it’s up to us to water that seed, cultivate it and help it come to fruition. Do you believe that? I do! Most times it takes a little external or internal motivation paired with the decision to step outside of your comfort zone and explore a new terrain. But as you begin to move, you’ll notice new and beautiful views that you’ve never seen before!

As you step into that place of fresh opportunities you’ll see yourself start to flourish and grow in ways that you never dreamed possible.

Just a few things to keep in mind:

  1. With pressure and the decision to go beyond the norm, internal opposition often arises. (Don’t let it scare you, but look it in the face and decide to take another step of action. It’s worth it!)

  2. Don’t try to plan every step on this exciting journey towards new opportunities. (You’ll just get in the way, hold on too tightly to what’s familiar and miss out on some wonderful growth if you do - so let go of the reins and enjoy the ride.)

  3. There will be valid reasons as to why you shouldn’t push yourself in a given direction - whether it be not enough finances, lack of social support or a new interest or career path that might take more education. (While these barriers are definitely worth considering - allow them to be part of the process towards the “you that is capable”. Don’t let them become roadblocks, keeping you back from hidden talents, passions and desires.)

One last bit of encouragement: Don't sell yourself short by making excuses as to why you should or shouldn’t. Press in and push yourself in a new way this week. Start small and take a tiny step into new territory.

You are capable of MORE than you know!

In health,

Alecia
