We Are So Fired  Up

My husband and I sat with our heads in our hands last night. We knew what our goals were. But the fire had just seemed to go out. Why?  We were not fired up any more. Why? Part of our goals we had accomplished. Great. Then we realized that the sizzle, what made us so fired up before was in need of being rekindled.
It does seem odd that we can be really fired up , turn the key to start our engines and set out on the road to our success and then suddenly we realize we feel like we are still in our old Volkswagen Van. We called it Gandalf. We were lucky when it Fired up at all. We both loved that van. But now we were ready for our Porsche. Get us fired up again.

So How Do We Get Fired Up Again

We both looked at each other and realized we had to redefine our goals . Perhaps even restructure them a bit. Our sites are set really high now. So our goals should be huge and as bright as the sun. Really fired up.  And how we do this is rather important to our lives. I realized. If you are not fired up In your life, there really is no life . As far as I believed. Might as well, get in bed pull the covers over your head and hope that something really cool will show up on it’s own. I have not heard of anyone who tried that and actually achieved happiness. The blanket just kept 'em from getting too cold. But if your fired up , you never get cold.
Now we can see our intention needed to be fired up. Our goals are still our goals. But why did we want to achieve them? That is where we found the embers still burning.
I recall a story about a woman who wanted to move to Paris. When I asked her why she wanted to move she said it was because she hated where she lived. There was no sizzle. She was not fired up about moving to Paris. If you can believe that.
A year later a friend of mine told me she was moving to Hawaii. When I asked her why, when I asked her what was her intention, she told me it was because she wanted to learn Hula and meet new people. This woman's eyes lit up. She was fired up about going to a beautiful place.
So Dale and I wrote down an updated ' WHY' we wanted to reach our goals. And when we knew our "why's" we could feel the fire in our Souls starting to flame up. We are fired up again. Re-juiced about our next couple of years. We will reach these goals . Because we are fired up.

Fired Up Nicole Cooper

Nicole use to be fired up about Empower Network. Then her sizzle, her why had changed but she did not realize it. She drifted away. But now she is fired up because she made new ' WHYS" for her goals. Here is a short video of one of her stories to her team.

So come get fired up with us and never look at struggle again. We are making 2013 a Kick A$$ Year. Don't miss it.
