My TO BE List

Reflecting on the many years gone by while I was still young and bringing up my children, all I was thinking about is what I had TO DO every day. I had to wake up early, prepare lunch boxes take the girls to school then go to work. After a long day, I would go pick them up take them to their sports training and piano lessons. Then we would go home prepare dinner eat, take a bath and sleep. Exhausted!

I have lived with so many embedded beliefs in my life: ‘My main concern was to be a perfect mother, even if it meant I had to sacrifice my own needs and desires’ — ‘You have to get a job that pays well so you can secure yourself financially, even if it means working long hours’ — ‘You have to maintain a good social image by finding a high profile job — even if you don’t like it’ — and so on and so forth. And that is exactly what I did. However, was I anywhere to be found in this picture? NO.

There was not a single day when I stopped to think of who I have become along those years. What did I need? How could I make my life more interesting! All I was concerned about was what I had to DO to live up to the image dictated by the society we live in.

Now after many years, I am at a reflective time in my life. My children have grown and have their own lives and I will be retiring from a job I have had for the past 24 years! I have decided to change my TO DO list into a TO BE List. I want to learn more, I want to meet new people, I want to travel the World, I want to learn to play the cello, and sing. I want to be a compassionate giving human being able to give and receive Love from all living creatures. I want to be ME.

Transform all the Negative embedded beliefs in your head to Empowering beliefs that will drive you through a wonderful life! Put together your TO BE list while you are still young and change your outlook on life!
