This was given to me today--a Golden Ticket--and I wanted to share the inspiring words written on the back of this with everyone who is feeling pretty stuck or hopeless or whatever uncomfortable and limiting emotion we are feeling in this moment. Hope it helps someone else feel better too:-)

"When you were born a golden ticket was slipped into your soul's pocket by your Creator. The ticket gave you privileged access to a world of choices--it granted you permission to be whoever you wanted to be and do whatever you wanted to do. You may not have known you were carrying this ticket all of your life, but you were. Life's golden ticket is now in your hands. And now is your moment of truth. You can either stand still and live in yesterday or you can step through the gates of possibility into the life you were truly meant to live. The only price of admission is to release any anger, hurt, worry, or resentment tied to your old story and to have the clarity and strength to start anew. You can make new choices. You can live more fully. You can love more completely. You can make a greater difference. Every moment is a second chance to unleash and claim the life of purpose and contribution that is your destiny. But beware. The only promise in life is that soon the gates will close, as there are only so many moments left to live, love, and matter. Stand still or step forward? The choice, as it always has been, is yours.
