Vote For YOU and on January 20 Inaugurate Your Life

Be the Change You Want to See

The election is over & we are back to life as we know it. NOW is the time to make some decision as to what we do from here. Some of you are excited about the results and others of you may not feel the same. However you feel, NOW is the time to do your part to bring about change in your personal life and in America.

I want to inspire you to stop and think about what was important for you during this election. What changes do you want to see in your life and community? How can you impact that change? How can you impact your personal economy? How can you be apart of the solution moving forward? I'm asking you to think about that and than choose to "Vote For YOU" meaning put yourself on the ballot to make a difference in your life and in your sphere of influence.

I was inspired by the great divide American is encountering to be apart of the solution. In efforts to do my part,  I have re-tooled a great resource to help you craft a practical roadmap to change in your life. I am looking for people who are serious about elevating their lives and are ready to make the steps necessary to create that path towards change.

On January 20, 2012 I will be hosting a virtual personal inauguration ceremony where we swear in those committed to getting a vision of change. I will also release a new self-coaching workbook and audio series titled Inaugurate Your Life: Creating A Road Map For Change. Join in my making a commitment to vote for yourself in 2013 and let's start Trucking Towards Change!

Happy Transitioning,

Your Dream: Personal but Purpose FULL

Stay Focused On Your Journey

Stay Focused on Your Journey

Each one of us have our own unique and special path that we must take to Fly Free. Living a life without limitations is not about simply fulfilling a goal but its the journey to find yourself, discover your passion, live to your maximum potential and enjoy life at your greatest. Along that path, there will be an abundance of emotions,  difficult  decisions, relationships and self discovery. As you go through it there's one major discipline for success that I want to share with you. The discipline of FOCUS!

Discipling yourself to remain focused against all odds is not always easy but it is definitely necessary. You'll have to practice at it, but if you can conquer FOCUS your goals will become unstoppable. Nothing can out run focus because focus sets your mind in motion to complete the task at hand no matter what is thrown your way. Having a path for your journey doesn't amount to much if you don't get on the path & stay committed to the finish. Focus keeps you aligned for the finish! One of the biggest areas we loose focus in is dealing with people. 

Along the journey your circles will expand & change. You'll begin to meet people that are a lot like you in many different ways. You can have similar visions, like passions & same experiences but as you go through life always remember to stay focused on YOUR journey. So many people get derailed by allowing their attention to be centered on other people's journeys. Your neighbor's success (or failure) is a life lesson that comes to prepare them to carry out the plan for their life. Every promotion & demotion, trial & tragedy and joy & pain builds character is made completely for the person encountering it. Life experience is for the furthering of our future. Whether good or bad, don't get distracted by what's going on in someone else's world.  When you do, it gives room for jealousy, envy, fear and confusion. That's definitely not a place you want to live your life from. 

Don't miss what is meant for you being consumed with what someone else has. As a friend, business associate or family member your role is to support those around you. Be happy for people when they excel in their journey. Be there for them when tough times arise. Celebrate their successes & cheer them on but NEVER EVER allow another persons' path be a distraction to your future. You have a road to travel, choose to travel your own. 

Happy Transitioning,

Get Reacquainted With Your Dreams

It's time to fall in love with your purpose, passion and dreams ALL OVER AGAIN. We all experience seasons of discouragement that are meant to bring us down, but let me remind you, it didn't destroy you. You may have been hurt, disappointed or even lost some things in the process but you are still here! You have breath and the capacity to dream again.

We often get stuck on the pain of disappointment, but have you sat down to account for all the things that you gained the last time you took a huge leap of faith? There are life lessons that came out of your "last time" that will help you to be better "this time" around. Instead of completely giving up, simply get reacquainted with your dreams and apply those life lessons to the process.

It's not what you experienced that kills you, it's how you respond. The hour for responding in fear and unbelief are over. This is the perfect time to allow your dreams to arise. Start all over again! Get to know your passions again! Get to know your purpose again! Most of all, get rid of the excuses from past pain! I know it's easier said that done, but it's necessary to move forward. There are so many people waiting for you. They are waiting on your business, your inventions, your non-profit organizations, for you to finish school, for your friendship and so much more. What are you waiting for? Dust the cobwebs off of your faith and let's do this!

You have what it takes to get there! Dream Again!

Happy Transitioning,
Daniela-Gabrielle, Transition Thought Leader

Don't Go At It Alone

In the process of change, there is always a huge temptation to isolate yourself. It starts with thoughts that no one truly understands your process of change. As tempting as it may be to do and to believe, I want you to know that isolation is the number one destroyer of dreams, goals and accomplishments. As humans, we are created to be relational beings and having relationships is a major part of your life.

Change is a journey. Whether you are going natural, loosing weight, opening a business or finishing school, change has its ups, downs, rewards and sacrifices. It is important that you have a support team that can help you navigate through your seasons of change. You need those that will encourage you, inspire you, check you and help guide you through the process. When you go at it alone, you give room for discouragement, defeat and discontentment to distract you from your ultimate goal. That is not the making of a healthy success environment.  

I want to challenge you to look around you assess your success environment:

Do you have a support team around you?

Do you have things that inspire you when the road gets tough?

Have you created a distress plan? Something you can do or look at to get re-focused on your goal.

Are you being held accountable to making your dream or goal happen in a reasonable time?

If you're going to get to the finish line and survive your time of change, you're going to have to create an atmosphere of motivation and inspiration to get it done. Don't give up...get a team! There are plenty of people who believe in your dream!

Happy Transitioning,

Celebrating the Journey

When we face times of major transition in our lives we often get so focused on our "big picture" goals that we forget to enjoy the journey. That's the story of my life! I get so stuck working on my "master plan" that I miss the moment. It has often been a struggle to detach from the details.  When working towards major change and transition, getting stuck in the change can bring frustration and at times discouragement if you don't take time to step away from the vision occasionally. It becomes a vortex and you overlook the progress you've made along the way. Have you ever heard the saying, "you can't see the forrest for the trees?" Who wants to go through the forrest and MISS the beauty of its surroundings because you're so focused on what's right in front of you? The best way to take in the "forrest" in the midst of the "trees" is to celebrate your small successes along the way. Learn to enjoy the journey by celebrating the milestones in your transition. 

Tomorrow is my birthday! I decided with all that's going on in my life that I need to stop and celebrate my journey. The journey to Fly Free isn't always easy but when I look back on where I started, I can't help but be ecstatic about my progress. I invite you to enjoy my pre-birthday moments and I encourage you to choose one way to "celebrate your journey!" Post your ideas in the comment section and let's "Fly Free!"

Happy Transitioning!

The Truth About Change

There are plenty of people that sell motivation in a bottle. They wrap it up and tell you everything you want to hear, but the truth is...change is not easy. Change is not a destination, it's a journey. Along that journey you'll have good days, bad days, days where you feel like you are on top of the mountain and days where you question how the heck you can move forward. The truth is, change is challenging. It stretches your faith, increases your knowledge and shakes up your relationships, BUT if you press through it the rewards are well worth the investment. Here are some ways to navigate through the highs and lows of change.

• Develop a vision of change that serves as your mental picture of the new life you're going after
• It's important that you can SEE your change
• Grab some card stock, makers, magazines and markers and make your vision board
• Break your change into small achievable goals with an action plan
• Designate a group of friends that can support you through the highs and lows of change
• Get a theme song! 
• There's nothing like a playlist that can soothe the beast of change when you're  frustrated or needing motivation
• Find some activities that you enjoy for days when you need to relieve the stress of change (I enjoy a good run or a round of youtube karaoke)

Now that you have some practical steps for managing change, it's time to start dreaming. Imagine the life you deserve and go for it. Change may not be easy but it is ACHIEVABLE. With every step you are clipping your wings to...FLY FREE!

Are you Flying Free?

What is FLY FREE?

What is flying free EXACTLY you might ask. Fly Free is a Momentum Movement captured through music, spoken word and creative writing that initially begun as my personal method for managing through my own journey of transition. For three years, I dreamed about owning multiple billion dollar conglomerate corporations, traveling the world inspiring and motivating others, planting organizations to help people live their dream and living a life without limits. The disappointing thing was that there were limitations all around me with the greatest of them all being stuck in a controlling and abusive environment. 

Over those three years I constantly fought the thought of breaking free  until I realized that my fear of people had become greater than my reverence for God's greater plan for my life. It was in that season, I begin to sing a song that vented my frustrations and gave me the motivation to leave my limited life behind and begin of journey to find me again. As I continue through my journey of unraveling the impressions and influences on my life, I have found so many others that have and are experiencing limitations in life that keep them from the life of their dreams. I realized that I'm not the only one that could use music and inspiration to help them through their personal journey towards change. Every superwoman needs a theme song, let Fly Free give you that song.

The Fly Free project consists of four phases: music project, novel, inspirational product line and empower tours. The project is a record of my break away and healing process so I have chosen to refrain from publicly announcing release dates. When it's ready, it'll be released and the proceeds will go to creating a scholarship fund for survivors of abuse and building the first Birthing Room International, a center for dream planning and mapping. 

What's In It For Me?

Every successful person has a story. A story of beating the odds, overcoming obstacles, being resilient through it all. There is a story inside of you, just waiting to be written. A story of how you didn't let your situation or environment define you. A story of facing fears, finding faith and getting to a new place in life. I encourage you to follow my journey on the blog. Be inspired and start your own Fly Free momentum movement. This will be a resource but you possess the well of strength needed to draw from to clip your wings and FLY FREE!

Finding the Courage to FLY FREE

Take a journey to a place, 

where you can fly,

fly away.

Free from opinion, 

free from pain,

let's soar, let's fly away.

Excerpt from Fly Free written by danielaGabrielle, produced by Robert "Musikman" Laster

These are the dynamic words that set my life into a whirlwind one year ago when I ventured to abandon the world of control, abuse, loop-sided relationships and a load of other circumstances that limited my "flight" capability. I traded limitation and emotional shackles in for a life of freedom. I opted out of ordinary and embraced extraordinary. Has the road been easy? Certainly not. Courage is not life without fear. Courage is the boldness to press THROUGH fear. I believe that the courage to conquer your own personal limitations, whatever they may be, resides with in you. Recognizing that "higher, wider, deeper" is completely achievable is the first step. Imagine yourself living a life without limits. Nothing can stand in your way. Join me in a movement to clip the things holding you back and together let's...FLY FREE!
