We love change; small change, big change, change that is truly exciting and at times change that makes us go weak at the knees. Sometimes we embrace change without giving it a second thought, and then there are times…oh yes there are those times…we think it through until we drive ourselves nuts (that’s a clinical term by the way!).

Change is not necessarily easy, but oh (!!!) it is empowering.

Mostly when people think about ‘change’ they think about changing stuff: habits, things, hair colour, work, shoes. Anybody can change stuff, but if you find yourself thinking or saying, “I want to change my life! I want to change who I am!” then you are talking about a bolder, braver, bigger kind of change. This kind of change needs a real shift in belief and a willingness to stretch waaaaay beyond the familiar.

Change like this lifts you up and makes you defy ordinary.

To us change is a spiritual journey because it takes a lot of trust, courage, belief, honesty, faith and love.

• You have to reach inside yourself and be alone with your fears.
• You have to reach inside yourself and find the courage to step off into the unknown.
• You have to reach inside yourself and find the strength to trust yourself.
• You have to reach inside yourself and surrender to some guiding force, intuition, or set of beliefs you can rely on.
• You have to reach inside yourself and confront the truth about your desires and dreams.
• You have to reach inside yourself and acknowledge your shortcomings and your strengths.
• You have to reach inside yourself and dare to take responsibility for it all.
• Then you have to count to 3, hold your nose and JUMP! Now that takes real faith.

Once you are ready to do that you are ready to Defy Ordinary!

So as this year draws to a close and we all peak around the corner of the New Year in anticipation of what is to come, we invite you to join us as we Defy Ordinary in a year of change. Why not join us for the adventure?

Cheers until 2015!

Until next time…Grab Life by the Crown!
