Introspect today and ask yourself this question:
Have I invested sufficient time to be alone with my thoughts, to discover what my life will be like, after I have achieved my most coveted dream?
The picture I am referring to here is that picture of possibility you need to create about exactly what you want in your future. Or said differently, your "VISION" for how you would like your life to turn out. Your vision is the guiding light or beacon in the future, which will guide the setting of your goals, the size and scope of your daily actions or lack thereof and represent the prize in the future, which will help to keep you inspired to take the difficult action you must take daily.
Now is the time to get started
What are you waiting for before you start moving in the direction of your dreams? You can start your journey right now by answering the few questions below:
- What is your greatest dream that you would love to live? Be adventurous here, do not restrict your dreams in any way, no matter how ridiculous they may seem.
- Now allow yourself to get really specific about your dream. Allow your mind to wander and write down as much detail as you can see.
- How clear is the picture you have in your mind? What do you see yourself doing, experiencing, smelling, seeing and hearing? How do you feel, what do you have and who are you?
- Not matter how unrealistic your vision or the picture of possibility may be. If you could take just one action today to move you towards that picture of possibility. What would that one action be?
- What obstacles may be standing in the way of you taking that first action? Is that thing standing in your way, no one other than you? Is there really an obstacle in your way at all?
- Yes of course you feel fear, about the unknown. Are you allowing that fear to paralyse you into inactivity or are you using it to spur you on to greatness? Winners feel the fear and do it anyway; losers allow fear to hold them back, which one are you?
Lose the Fear
As you know you are addicted to your comfort zone, which is a natural part of your survival mechanism. Your brain is designed to serve you by keeping you safe and therefore any major change, where you are thrust out of homeostasis, even if those changes are for your benefit feel very uncomfortable and you tend to move back to the familiar. Fear of any positive change is a very natural emotion and I assure you one, every super achiever on this planet feels too. The difference is that they feel the fear and still take calculated action, whilst average people allow themselves to be paralysed into inactivity by it.
When channelled properly Fear will serve you
Fear is one of the most powerful and intense emotions you will ever feel. If you can discover how to channel it properly, you will support your success. The secret to success is not to ever try to kill your fear, but rather to tame and control it, for your benefit. When channelled correctly, fear can prepare and push you forward, just as strongly as it can hold you back. It heightens your awareness of everything around you, brings your mind into sharp focus and in extreme cases even increases your physical strength. With all these benefits, does it make sense to be frozen into inactivity? Learn the art of using your fear to unlock your greatness.
Uncover everything, which may be keeping you trapped?
OK, so if fear is not a reason to be stopped, then what else may be standing in your way right now? Could it be that you are waiting for the perfect circumstances, before you move forward? Let me tell you that, if you are going to wait for the perfect circumstances to be in place before you take action, you may be waiting for a very long time. Circumstances will never be perfect, unless you start to take action today, to make them so.
Where do you start?
OK so if you are filled with fear and the right circumstances will probably never exist, when should you start? The answer is simple. The path towards the success or the vision of possibility you want, starts with you booming right where you are planted right now. Do what you can, where you are, with all you have, using your current circumstances as the starting point. Where you are right now is the perfect place to start.
As you know it is really easy to come up with plenty of excuses, why you can't start right now. Let me tell you about a few I hear from my clients every day.
- I don't have enough time.
- There are not enough hours in a day to do it.
- I don't have the right job.
- I haven't met the right person yet.
- I don't have enough money.
The list of excuses goes on and on. I am sure there are plenty of your own, you could have added to the list above. My challenge to you today, is to stop the excuses and instead of thinking of hundreds of reasons why you cant. Rather come up with the one reason why you can. It is time to change your regrets of "IF ONLY" into "I
