When is enough, ENOUGH!

As we approach the end of another year there are those will be looking back at the past year with regret and dissapointment and others who will be looking back with a sense of satisfaction and contentment.  At the same time there are those who are looking forward to the New Year with a sense of anticipation and excitement while others are not at all looking forward to what a New Year will bring.

Where are you in the grand scheme of things?

What are you thinking as you reflect, what are you looking forward to... or not?

Recently I was thinking about the many times in my life when I found myself back at 'square one' in a particular situation, having taken two steps forward, many times it seemed as though I was taking even more steps backwards.  I pondered on the number of times I used my past as an excuse for my lack of commitment, or lack of vision, or lack of progress. I reflected on the opportunities missed, the open doors I caused to close, the potential friendships or business relationships that passed me by because of my endless 'issues'. 

As these thoughts filled my head and I look at my life now with all that I have gained and accomplished, by God's grace, I asked myself the question 'when did enough become enough?'. 

When did I look at my situation and the overwhelming LACK that I was experiencing in my life (lack of fulfilment, lack of purpose, lack of security, lack of self esteem, lack of confidence, the list goes on!) and decide, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

I realised that it was only when I made up my mind, 'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH' that I began to experience unbelievable breakthroughs in my life.  It was only when I decided 'there must be more to life than this', that I began to overcome negative emotions, break bad habits and started living my life on purpose.

I want to encourage you that 2011 will be what YOU make it.  Regardless what kind of year 2010 has been and in spite of what may come in 2011, it is YOU who will determine the kind of person you will be, the things you will do and the goals you will accomplish in the year ahead.  If your life up until this point has not worked out the way you want it, if you are not in the job you want, or you are not living in the house you want or driving the car you want, it's up to you to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

If your relationship is not as fruitful as you would like, or if you do not communicate with your children the way you desire or if you are not living a fulfilled life the way you should be, it's up to you to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

You deserve to BE the best, DO your best and HAVE the best in EVERY area of your life. 

And YOU CAN! The question you need to ask yourself is simply...when is enough, ENOUGH?


Be who you are. Do what you love. Have what you want!

Until next time, Karen. x
