In a guided process this week, an ornate golden cup appeared, on the otherwise blank canvas of my mind.

And when I asked about this cup, I heard in my soul, "it's the cup of life."

It reminded me that drinking from the cup of life - choosing to live a full and vibrant life - is a choice.

Yet, as we journey through life, we often find ourselves at crossroads. And we hesitate, sipping only very cautiously, or sometimes not at all.

But, the life transformation you seek - the life you long to live - comes when you consciously choose to drink to the full - embracing life with open arms, zest, and a sense of boundless possibility.

So here are 8 key steps to choose this cup:

1. Recognize the Old Stories

Before you can fully drink from the cup of life, it's essential to recognize and release the old, disempowering stories that may have held you back. These stories often revolve around struggle, the need to work harder, and a constant urge to prove oneself. Acknowledge these narratives, understand their origins, and consciously decide to let them go.

2. Cultivate Self-Belief

Transformation begins with self-belief. Understand that you are deserving of happiness, success, and fulfillment. By shifting your mindset towards self-empowerment, you can start believing in your ability to create the life you desire.

3. Embrace Uncertainty

Drinking deeply from the cup of life often means embracing uncertainty. Life's most beautiful moments and opportunities often lie on the other side of your comfort zone. Embrace change and the unknown, for it is where growth and transformation occur.

4. Set Inspiring Goals

To drink from the cup of life is to have a clear vision of what you want to achieve. Set inspiring goals that excite and challenge you. Break them down into manageable steps, creating a roadmap towards your dreams.

5. Practice Gratitude

Gratitude is a powerful elixir for the soul. Regularly take time to appreciate the blessings in your life. Recognize the beauty in everyday moments, and you'll find that the cup of life tastes even sweeter.

6. Connect with Your Passions

Discover what truly makes your heart sing. Whether it's a creative pursuit, a hobby, or a cause you're passionate about, make time for it in your life. Connecting with your passions adds richness and flavor to your journey.

7. Seek Support

8. Live in the Present

The essence of life lies in the present moment. Avoid getting caught up in regrets about the past or anxieties about the future. Savor each moment, for it is where true living happens.

If you know my story, years ago, I chose to drink from this cup of life. At the time the alternative was death. And I have never looked back. I now live a life I love to wake up to every day.

I want that for you as well, but it's up to you to make the conscious choice to drink deeply from the cup of life.

Only you can choose to let go of old narratives that no longer serve you, believe in yourself, and embark on a journey filled with possibility. Embrace uncertainty, set inspiring goals, practice gratitude, and connect with your passions.

And above all, relish the beauty of the present moment. Life is a precious gift – sip it slowly and savor every drop.
