and learn to really appreciate your
surroundings. This is a space you

textures, and sounds.

to pursue, put it in affirmation form. Try this on

after from people from all walks of life.”
Write your affirmations down, say them out loud,
record them, and listen to them when you are
working out or driving. Make them personal and
specific. When you practice them
(writing or speaking), notice the
feelings that come up for you.

21. 8. Get your feet wet.
• Act. Take a risk. This is usually another
stumbling block for a lot of folks. But without this
step, your passion will remain an unrealized
dream.
If you have come this far, do not allow yourself to
stop now. An intelligent risk when the timing is
right, can take your life from dull to awesome.
