Cut Off What Doesn’t Serve You

​It’s good practice to start a New Year by cutting off what does not serve you. It sounds kind of drastic, doesn’t it? “Cut off”. I chose those words for several reasons.  It gets your attention. It sounds serious, and it is! Once you cut something off…it’s permanent! 

What are some things you want to permanently let go of? Here are a few suggestions: negative thinking, self-sabotage, beating yourself up; how about negative people? You know, the kind that sucks all the energy out of you and never contributes anything good.

If you want to produce drastic results, drastic measures are required. Now that I’m 62 years old, there is an ever-stronger sense of time running out.  I am in the last years of my life.  I hope to be blessed with another 30 healthy years, but one’s lifespan is never guaranteed. I want to push to make a real difference for good.

When I was about 59 1/2, I looked at my life and felt it was mediocre at best. That was very disturbing. So I took drastic action to rectify that.  I spent a very sizable amount of money in the following two years in self-improvement (I signed up for 2 years' worth of Tony Robbins Programs, hired a Life Coach). I also decided to retire early, at 61, so I could pursue my passion of changing the way people cook by connecting them to God through food. I left a lot of money on the table by retiring early. Has it been challenging? Heck yes! Was it worth it? Heck yes!

IF YOU LEAVE YOUR GROWTH TO RANDOMNESS, YOU'LL ALWAYS LIVE IN THE LAND OF MEDIOCRITY. This is a takeaway gleaned by Oprah’s team after a session with Brendon Burchard.

So, I ask you again, what will you cut off that doesn’t serve you, so you can grow and live your extraordinary life? 

I’m including a clip of my daughter cutting off 16 inches off my hair. I cut it off today, January 1, 2023. The spiritual message included there correlates with this one.  I hope you enjoy it.  If you do, please share it with your friends.
