What If You Just Went for It? The Joy of Taking Inspired Action
Have you ever had an idea that just wouldn’t leave you alone?
Maybe it’s a book you want to write, a business you’d love to start, a place you’ve been dreaming of visiting, or something completely different that makes your heart light up whenever you think about it.
You imagine how wonderful it could be. You picture yourself doing it. You feel that little spark of excitement.
And then life gets busy. Other things take priority. You start thinking about all the details, and before long, that wonderful idea gets tucked away for another day.
But what if today you decided to give it a chance?
What if you just went for it?
Sometimes the Best Things Begin With a Simple Yes
Over the past several months, I’ve been having so much fun creating my Thriving All the Time Collection.
Writing books, developing inspirational cards, creating a coloring book, putting together a workbook, and bringing my course to life have all been part of this wonderful creative adventure.
One idea led to another. I discovered new possibilities, learned things I never expected to learn, and found myself exploring creative directions that weren’t even on my radar when I started.
There were moments when I had to figure things out as I went. There were surprises, changes, and plenty of opportunities to grow.
And through it all, I’ve been reminded how much I love creating.
I love that feeling of bringing something into the world that once existed only as an idea.
It’s exciting. It’s fulfilling. And it’s a beautiful reminder of what’s possible when we allow ourselves to follow our inspiration.
You Get to Explore What’s Possible
One of my favorite questions is:
What if it turns out even better than I imagined?
Think about how that question feels.
It opens up possibilities. It invites curiosity. It creates room for something wonderful to happen.
So often, we try to figure out the entire journey before taking the first step. We want to know how everything will work, how long it will take, and exactly what the outcome will look like.
But some of the most meaningful experiences in life unfold as we go.
One of the things I love most about following an idea is discovering where it takes me. I can start with one little spark of inspiration, and before I know it, I’m exploring possibilities I hadn’t even considered. That’s been such a fun part of creating my Thriving All the Time Collection. I’ve learned new things, surprised myself, changed my mind a few times, and found even more things I want to create!
And here’s what I know: I don’t have to figure everything out before I begin. I trust myself to find my way, I expect wonderful things to happen, and I leave plenty of room for this or something better.
Because I want to love the experience of creating my life just as much as I love what I’m creating. I want the fun, the freedom, the unexpected opportunities, the fabulous surprises—all of it!
That’s what thriving all the time means to me. Living fully, enjoying the journey, and knowing there’s always more wonderful life to experience.
You get to be curious about your own life.
You get to explore, experiment, learn, and grow.
And you get to enjoy yourself along the way.
Inspired Action Can Change Everything
I talk about inspired action often in my coaching because it’s such an important part of creating meaningful change.
Inspired action comes from that place within you that feels connected to your desires, your intuition, and your sense of possibility.
Sometimes it’s a big decision. Other times, it’s something beautifully simple.
You sign up for a class. You make the phone call. You start writing. You book the trip. You have the conversation. You set aside an afternoon to work on something you’ve been dreaming about.
One action creates movement.
And movement creates opportunities for more ideas, experiences, and possibilities.
You don’t have to turn every interest into a business or every hobby into an accomplishment, either.
Some things are worth doing simply because they bring you joy.
Imagine that!
Thriving Is Something You Get to Experience Right Now
Here’s something I believe deeply:
Thriving is a way of living, not a destination you finally reach.
It’s in the choices you make, the love you share, the experiences you create, and the way you feel about yourself and your life.
For me, thriving is about so much more than achieving goals or checking things off a list. I want to wake up excited about my day, spend time with the people I love, laugh often, explore new places, create beautiful memories, and follow the ideas that light me up.
I’ve learned that some of life’s most wonderful moments happen when I make room for what matters to me, trust my heart, and allow myself to enjoy whatever season of life I’m in.
I have big dreams, and I love bringing them to life. But I also love my morning coffee, a great conversation, a spontaneous adventure, and those little moments when I look around and think, I really love my life.
That’s what thriving all the time means to me. Loving the life I’m living while being excited about everything that’s still to come.
You can feel excited about what’s next while loving where you are.
You can create success, abundance, freedom, and fulfillment in ways that feel aligned with who you truly are.
And yes, you can have fun doing it!
A Little Invitation for You
As we move toward the end of the year, I’d love for you to think about something.
What is one thing you’d absolutely love to do before this year is over?
Something that would make you feel happy, inspired, energized, peaceful, or wonderfully alive.
Give yourself a few moments to imagine it.
Then ask:
- What would it feel like to say yes to this?
- What wonderful possibilities could open up?
- What is one inspired action I could take this week?
Write down your answers. Let yourself dream. And then choose one thing to do.
It doesn’t have to be complicated.
Sometimes a small decision becomes the beginning of a beautiful new chapter.
Creating a Life You Truly Love
My Thriving All the Time Collection grew from a desire to share the ideas, practices, and experiences that have helped me create a life I love.
Through my books, workbook, coloring book, inspirational cards, and course, I hope to inspire you to explore your own possibilities and create more of what you truly desire.
Because your life is yours to create.
And there’s always room for more love, more joy, more abundance, more adventure, and more of those moments that make you feel wonderfully alive.
So here’s my invitation:
Follow that spark. Trust your inspiration. Do the thing.
You might be amazed by what happens next.
And remember, you get to thrive all the time.
With love and abundant blessings,
