I don’t how we got from dissolving an adhesive to befuddled and bewildered.

Still, I can’t help but wonder…what if becoming unglued were actually a good thing? What if being glued is keeping us from being free to do other things? What if we really want to separate, like from something we don’t want to be stuck to anymore?

What if the outcome of “becoming unglued” is clarity, not confusion? Bedazzlement, not bewilderment? Fired up, not fouled up?

What if becoming unglued means…

Unsticking ourselves from self-imposed limitations? Dissolving those powerful adhesives composed of phrases like, “too late,” “too old” and “too tired? What if, with every drop of stubborn glue that is dissolved, we take one step closer to being the person we really want to be?

My own (continuing) journey to becoming unglued began with a single moment…when I imagined myself being something else. Still me—just striving to be a little bit better at my every day life. I took a sidestep and saw myself from a different angle. Only then could I even begin to imagine the possibilities.

Since that defining moment, I have made a conscious effort to be a little more daring. A little more vulnerable. Just a little bit. Every day. Let’s face it—the longer you’re glued, the more effort it takes! But it’s most definitely possible.

I don’t mean deserting your family, abandoning your friends, quitting your life. I am talking about a little bit of thoughtful and inspiring information, shared among cyberfriends. Each one looking toward becoming their best self. Every day. I am talking about following some of those dreams that have been itching to come to the surface.

Let’s start…here. Because–well–that’s where we have to start! Wherever you are. Whatever age. Whatever physical state you’re in. Whatever story about who you are and who you think you have to be and who you think you want to be. Let’s get inspired and become unglued.
