Are you living life by Default or by Design?
All too often we spend our days on auto pilot, coasting through time like robots day in and day out. A friend of mine stopped in to tell me about her day. She went to work early because she had a meeting with her supervisor. When she stepped out of her car and put both feet on the ground she realized that not only did she have different shoes on but they were different heights as well. OOPS.

When she told me the story, I laughed like crazy, since time had passed, she did as well. This is a great example of how she was on auto pilot and not living in the Now. She was so concerned about her meeting that she never even checked in with herself to see how she looked.
When we are Awake for the moments in our lives, we can truly learn to appreciate the miracles that all too often get taken for granted. When our auto pilot is turned off, we feel a rewarding freshness and aliveness. We experience living a life that is passionately fulfilled inspiring others to do the same; an astounding life that results from making deliberate choices.

"The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind." Dr. Wayne W. Dyer. When we simply coast through our days, we are not making conscious decisions. This ends up taking us down a path that we never would have chosen otherwise.
So now I ask you, are you living your life by Default or by Design?
