Wednesday’s Wisdom: Stretch Beyond What You See
“Stretch your hands as far as they reach; grab all you can grab.” — Yoruba Proverb
How do these words land for you today?
Pause for a moment and release the noise of the world:
Take a slow, intentional breath in…
Exhale…
Breathe in possibility… Exhale self-doubt…
Breathe in alignment… Exhale resistance…
Now, be fully present.
Here’s your reminder:
You are capable of receiving more than you’ve ever imagined. The universe—and your own potential—are both expansive, abundant, and waiting for your “yes.”
As Iyanla Vanzant reminds us in Acts of Faith:
“We must never allow ourselves to be guided or stopped by what anyone else is doing.
We must never allow ourselves to think we can only go so far because others are already there.”
From a coaching lens, this is a powerful invitation to reclaim agency and lead from your authentic zone of genius.
The moment you stop comparing and start creating, you open the flow of possibility and purpose.
Today’s Reflection
When was the last time you stretched beyond your comfort zone and experienced more than you believed possible?
Where in your life or leadership might you be playing small—and what could expand if you gave yourself permission to reach?
How are you cultivating gratitude and abundance consciousness in your daily decisions?
22 Simple Shifts to Open Your Flow — Right Here, Right Now
(Adapted from Your Life Expression)
Be generous with your presence.
Replace complaints with gratitude.
Write a thank-you note—or a few.
Declutter your space, and make room for what’s next.

Leadership Reflection:
What are you willing to do differently to open your own abundance flow?

Be intentional... Stay aligned... Encourage others to do the same—and watch what unfolds...
You’ve got this!
