Iyanla Vanzant Daily Stimu-Mail – LIVE IN THE MOMENT

Iyanla Vanzant is the founder and executive director of Inner Visions International and the Inner Visions Institute for Spiritual Development. She is the author of 13 titles—including five New York Times bestsellers—and the Inner Visions CD Series. Peace from Broken Pieces: How to Get Through What You’re Going Through has been published by SmileyBooks and available here. Iyanla is a Spiritual Technician. She is a Master Teacher. She is a woman of passion, clear vision and purpose, with a wicked sense of humor. Ordinary? Maybe. We think Dr. Maya Angelou's description is much more appropriate. Iyanla is, by many accounts, a Phenomenal Woman!

You must begin wherever you are.

- Jack Boland

If you are waiting for something to happen before you begin what you want to do, it will never happen. If you are waiting to get something before you do what you say you want to do, you will never get started.  If you are waiting for the right time, the right person, the right circumstances, you could be waiting forever. How about this, what can you do right now? Can you write a letter? Make a call? Finish a plan?  Structure a goal? Can you pick a name? Paint a wall? Ask a question?  Sweep a floor?  Can you structure a schedule? Can you project a date? Can you fulfill a promise?  Can you read a book?  Can you stop doing all the things you do that keep you from doing the one thing you want to do?  Can you pray? Can you sing? Can you dance right where you are?  Whatever you can do, you better do it now. Now is all you have to work with.

                                                        I am going to live in the moment.
