Meet The Moment

This is my favorite time of year. The flowers are blooming, the trees are budding and the birds are singing. The world around us is literally bursting with life. There’s a sense of renewed energy. In the past month or so, I find myself in an amazing vortex of creative energy and joy. Like the natural world around me, I feel like I’m bursting with happiness. Anybody that’s been talking to me lately knows this.

I am happier than ever before.

I’m being more like myself than ever before.

What’s made the difference?

About a month ago, during a 1:1 coaching session, I found myself coining the phrase “meet the moment”. To meet the moment means to be fully present and open to what is coming to you, right here, right now. It also means being mindful of what is already on it’s way to you – “acting as if”.

When we are able to “meet the moment”, we allow the beauty of life to unfold through us, not because of us. We love what is and we look for the opportunity to learn and be and grow. This is especially true when the moment includes challenges, difficulties, unexpected happenings, and even pain.

“Meeting the moment” is about letting go of judgment and being fully alive in the honesty of who we are.

This is Courageous Abundance in action.

This is possibility.

This is living life out loud.


What does “meet the moment” mean to you?
