She was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean.  She was America's sweetheart.   She became best friends with First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.  She was known world-wide in an era when global communication was far more difficult than today.  And, they just made a movie of her starring Hilary Swank and Richard Gere.

She saw what was possible and went for it.  She ignored what others said was impossible.  She enjoyed what others called danger.  She basked in the limelight.  Now, it is time for you to write your story.

That's her story.  What's your story?

Where can you shine more brightly?  What have you always wanted to do but have been holding yourself back or just procrastinating? 

Remember, what you might do to enliven your life need not be flying across an Ocean.   Here are some more everyday examples that can hugely impact your life and the lives around you:

... You can launch that business. 

... You can make those phone calls in your network marketing business. 

... You can register for and take that self-improvement course. 

... You can update your clothing. 

... You can apologize for that transgression.

... You can clean that mess that has been bothering you.

... You can join that church, or that club, or learn that sport.

Stretch outside your box.  Your box is getting way too small for you -- or else you would not be reading this article! 

You built the box you are currently in years ago.  You have outgrown it.  Explode it and grow.

Metaphorically, it is time for you to fly.  Just like Amelia.  Your happiness and your income will grow.

Make sure that there is at least one outrageous chapter in your autobiography.
