"Like" My Page, but Stay on Your Own

Being in the profession that I am, as a real estate broker, I am often presented with the invitation of well-meaning professionals and the likes of them with requests to "Like" their page.  For those of you that may not be familiar with the term, they are asking me (and you) to subscribe usually to their Facebook page or some other social media platform in which they pitch products, ideas, business centered language in hopes that I will utilize their services or buy their products, etc.  It has become conscious for me the amount of energy that businesses and people spend to get my attention.   Their hope is that they will get my attention, then keep it to the extent it profits them (i.e., improve their bottom lines).  To this, I encourage you to take an inventory of your life and to cut off the life's  blood supply that's going to external sources.  Take your attention back!  It is yours to direct, to scrutinize how you use it, reserve it, exploit it or to be a good steward over it.  Have you ever considered how your life would look if you detached from all your power centers that currently has you locked in as though it is your adult size umbilical cord?  Today, detach. Reclaim your power and use it to materialize your own vision, call or destiny for your own life.  So, yes, "Like" my page, but be sure stay on your own because one day you are going to have to give an account for how you lived the life that was lent to you for a purpose.

Inspired by SuperSoul Sunday (Ms. Winfrey's Interview on 3/17/13)

I truly enjoyed Brene's talk!  I learned of her via Oprah's Super Soul Sunday!  I paused the show because of my intrigue with the interview and I wanted to know Mrs. Brown's back story in order to fully understand her today... This is the TEDx Talk that caused her message to go viral.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, then endeavor to go forth living vulnerability.  ENJOY!
