Your Defining Moments

Rosa ParksnNapoleon HillnRhonda ByrnenMother Teresa

What do those legendary individuals have in common?

Throughout history, every human being at some point in thei
life is faced with at least one pivotal life changingnexperience.

Some will even experience a series of events that change the ncourse of their personal history forever.

I call those experiences your defining moments.

Defining moments are when a transformation or radical shiftnoccurs inside you and you are never the same afterwards.

Your defining moments may occur upon meeting a pivotal personnsuch as a mentor or when you lock eyes with your soul mate ornyour spouse for the first time. Perhaps it is when you become anparent, face an illness or experience the loss of a loved one.

Quite often, your defining moments are thrust upon younunexpectedly. You may have been going about your day to day nlife 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 anclear, 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 moments live on to this day in the timeless lessonsnand books he gifted us.

For Rhonda Byrne, it was the commitment to realize her Goal ofnmaking a certain kind of movie (The Secret).

Her defining moment left a monumental imprint on the modern daynpersonal growth industry.

For Mother Teresa, it was to devote her life to serving thenpoorest of the poor.

Her defining moment led to a Nobel Peace Prize and a legacynof contribution on a global level.

The one thing each of those legendary figures has in common isnthis...

Decision.

They made a conscious decision to make a contribution beyondnthemselves.

They set their Goal despite the enormous odds against them.

They committed.

They took the necessary actions, no matter what, to see itnthrough.

You see, you have the same ability to consciously create you
own defining moments any time you want.

You decide your destiny.

Don't sit around and wait for life to send you that definingnmoment.

Create it by taking a stand for what you believe in, for who younwant to become and what you want to give and contribute to thenworld.

If you could give, be, have, do and become anything you want,nwhat would that be?

What is your legacy?

The best way to predict the future is to create it.
