Dreaming Bigger
Dream Big
When I was a young child I was always on some imaginary adventure, whether
it was locking up the bad guys or being a hero to someone. As I grew up I dreamed
of being in business for myself and having a rich, full, abundant life. I would find myself day-dreaming about traveling the world, exploring all the new places, and being able tohelp my family have the same thing.
Somewhere along the way, the people around me kept telling me to join the real
world and stop dreaming about something that was never going to happen. After
awhile, those dreams died and I did end up joining the real world and got a job
so that I could barley make a living doing something I hated, all because
people told me to stop dreaming and start earning!
I finally realized that all those people also hated their life and job and were stuck
in a way of life that they had no control over, so I “Drew my line in the Sand” and said
NO MORE! No more of this life that felt more like death than life! I started my own
business and never looked back!
So, to all of you that had your dreams beat out of you I am here to tell
you to start dreaming again and don’t ever give up!! Go ahead, I give you permission
to dream big and have that rich, full, abundant life that you deserve!I To your Success!!

No more excuses – your opportunity awaits you
Sometimes all you have to do is learn from some one to gain the knowledge, read a book or a enroll in a class. In this day and age knowledge and information is right on your finger tips, so cut the excuses. You know you want a better life.
My no more excuses formula:
I believe this formula will help you to stop making excuses and cease that opportunity that awaits you:
Do the right things: You have your goals written down, the next step is to do the right things that will support the goals you have for yourself. You must also identify and eliminate what is not working in your life and channel it to do the right things. Some of the right things can be reading that book on business start up, going back to school and also being in the right network.
Obstacles: You will encounter obstacles in achieving your goals but you have to continue to press on and not make excuses to give up. No one here on this surface of this earth is exempt from going through obstacles. This is the question you have to ask yourself; How will the obstacles affect you? So many opportunities can rise from your obstacles, you have to be creative and be willing to learn from every challenge. Remember when your obstacles are over, you will be a better person, wiser and stronger.
Make a list: All the things that you been making excuses and putting off, list them on paper. When you look at the list, is it worth making the excuses and putting your life on hold. Start by completing each task on the list, it may take a longer time. The important thing is to start and the results will astound you.
Do the thing that you fear: Sometimes you might tend to make excuses because you are so afraid. Do not live in captivity because of fear. Nothing is going to happen, what ever that you have on your heart to do, the time is now.
One thing that I know for sure, successful people are very goal oriented and they have a no excuses policy. No more excuses, make each day count and cease your opportunity because it awaits you.

How To Boost Self Esteem
What causes low self esteem? Low self esteem is usually the result of negative
messages being absorbed by the subconscious. Begin to feed your mind with positive
messages and it can become a huge and powerful difference in your life!
What stops most people is uncertainty of what to say and how to word the affirmations
for optimal effectiveness.
Here are some helpful tips for overcoming and improving
your self esteem with positive affirmations!
1)Always use the present tense, never say that one day, you will learn
to love yourself, because it sounds like a second priority or that it is
not that important to you. Instead, say “I chose to love myself”.
This empowers you by giving you the choice to love yourself,
even at the present moment.
2)Let your affirmations be believable to you.
If you try to set higher expectations of yourself than you can actually
believe, such as, I am a wonderful person with a lot to offer the world,
and that is not the case, then, you are not going to believe it and so your
subconscious mind might reject it.
Try focusing on a process, rather than the end result in your positive affirmations.
Say, I am learning how to embrace, accept and share my
uniqueness with others.
3)Chose the right tone. Look at yourself in the mirror,
as this helps tremendously,
and recite your affirmations aloud or quietly to yourself but focus on the
tone you use.
Say the words with emotion and love, unlike reading aloud
from a newspaper, or a magazine.
Your subconscious will pick up the emotional aspect of
what you are saying.
When you repeat or recite the words, I really love myself with love
and compassion, as opposed to sarcasm, the positive affirmation
has more impact on your subconscious mind.
4)Repeat positive affirmations on a regular basis, several times a day.
Your subconscious mind may play with you and play back old,
negative messages, so you want to counteract those negatives as much as possible.
When you become aware of the fact that those old negative
thoughts are coming back to haunt you, out with them, and
recite your positive affirmations.
5)Give it time!
It takes time to change old habits into new habits and the same
applies to changing old, negative messages to positive ones.
It could take a few weeks or even a few months before you feel or
notice a significant difference in how you feel.
Do not be discouraged, stay with it and eventually you will
see a difference!
The change should be gradual, and bit by bit, you will
start feeling better and much happier, that is when
you will know it is working.

Tags: what causes low self esteem, optimal effectiveness, low self esteem, emotional aspect, negative messages, subconscious mind, present tense, positive affirmationsCreate and Make The Most of Your Day!
Do you wake up sometimes, perform your daily routine, workout, catch the weather,
have breakfast, etc. and tell yourself that you are going to have a good day,
and something unplanned happens and you let those issues or circumstances
spoil your whole day?
Do you allow others activities, moods and actions get you uptight, fustrated or impatient?
If you do this, then you are not using your full self enpowerment!
Use the law of attraction, and turn everyday into a great day!
Use your intentions and visualization to create your day.
When you first awake, sit/lay there and spend 10-15 minutes
thinking about the different positive things that you would like
to encounter that day.
How do you want your day to go?
What kind of people would you like to meet and surround yourself with?
Would you like to have the opportunity to better your career or financial situation?
How would you like to feel each and everyday, for the most part of the day?
Write down all the details in a journal or notebook.
Once you have the details in front of you, imagine a scenario in your
mind, the way you would like it to happen.
Make up a mini movie in your mind. as you would like it
all to play out, from beginning to end.
Let yourself feel as though it were happening now, at this moment.
Immerse yourself in feelings of excitement, joy, happiness
and gratitude as you enjoy one experience after another.
Repeat the process for every experience you imagine having that day.
In the end, you should feel, enthusiastic, fantastic and floating with
good spirit and great expectations!
Now go on with your normal routine and, taking special precaution not
to be “attached” to any one specific event or experience.
Just stay open, and be on alert for whatever happens.
Keep a positive attitude and affirmation that
wonderful things are going to happen to you that day, and feel
grateful about all the blessings and fortunes in your life.
At the same time, avoid or try to push aside feelings of
worry, anxiety, and anger as much as you possibly can, throughout
the course of your day, because those feelings can interfere
with the positive thoughts or energy you have already put out.
Keep visualizing those those images of the things you visualized
earlier and allow good feelings to flow through you again.
Affirm and know that good things are going to
happen to you, even if you do not see them right away.
Kepp repeating your positive affirmations, on a daily basis, and eventually
you will start to notice that good things are starting to happen.
You will find yourself being in the “right place at the right time”
and enjoy even greater opportunities and abundance.

God's Got A Blessing With Your Name On It
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
If I didn’t know better I’d declare I created this Youtube video! Looks like my car, sounds like my radio and definitely resembles my morning commute. God’s Got A Blessing With your Name On It was blaring out my windows. Well know what? This morning at approximately 7:45 that was my song! Just like in the video that was me and possibly you listening to our favorite morning talk radio stations headed to work. It’s routine, switching back and forth between my favorite radio stations and presto 88.1 was playing God’s Got A Blessing!
Well I safely arrived and it’s mid-day, I am chuckling because I have a moment between work tasks and just decided to visit Youtube-so I believe. This just smacks of a divine set-up! I trust you’ll agree that this is surely more providential than coincidence. Yes, friends my curiosity peaked when I had the option of selecting between two videos of Norman Hutchins and I decided to select the video with the driver traveling down the highway.
Notice the “red hood” ? Well the front end resembles my car. It surely looks like me navigating my way down the I-64 East. I recognized that many of us travel just this way to get to our daily JOB’s. That’s what we use to call it going to our JOB’s, cruising down highways across hamlets, cities, and the like. Some of us even have to travel by foot, wait at the dock to board the Ferry or jump on public transportation- our journey’s would be incomplete without our electronic gadgets. Listening to our radios, ipods, and surfing the internet destination bound! We’re headed some place, determined to arrive. As I drove this morning and now for a few moments I am reflecting on what I witnessed yesterday evening, while millions of households already had learned what I feel compelled to rethink.
My mind raced back to Oprah Winfrey’s website. After work I had an opportunity to read and watch several videos about Tyler Perry’s very emotional accounts of the disturbing childhood abuse he endured at the hands of some unscrupulous, despicable adults. You just never know what shapes and colors our lives. The abuse was horrific, sad, and tragic . But what stood out for me was that as difficult as it is to share humiliating incidents of any kind of abuse (sexual, emotional, physical etc.) I would wager that it’s probably more difficult to operate effectively with that stigma draped over ones life. But, thank God despite that the personal anguish, it didn’t smolder Tyler’s spirit. It’s apparent that his creativity and empathy for others has spurred him on to create relevant; meaningful works. His works are healing and audacious enough to deal with the tough stuff, the nitty-gritty issues of life. He’s a miraculous over comer, clearly on a destination! Tyler is a survivor and I pray he feels victorious, free, validated, accomplished and honored for lifting the bewildering, deadening shroud of silence. What the devil meant for evil, God obviously has other plans. Romans 8 confirms this:
More Than Conquerors
28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who
love him,[j] who[k] have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. 31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[l] 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[m] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Tyler’s creative work continually improves lives and gives voice to many that society deem unworthy. His stellar work in the arts, his philanthropic endeavors are to be lauded. But what many will chatter about is , “Did you hear Tyler?” Well as one conquerer to another, we can respond confidently with , ” Yes, I certainly did and do I ever appreciate him all the more!” Like Norman Hutchins sings, God’s Got a Blessing With Our Name On It! This stanza of Amazing Grace by John Newton rings true….
T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
‘Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my
shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh
and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess
within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
When we’ve been here ten
thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We’ve no less days to sing
God’s praise
Than when we’ve first begun……
Thank you Tyler for the exhibiting the grace to dare share what we ought not ignore. We appreciate your desire to move foward , navigate your way and live to see brighter tomorrows! You’re on your way and it’s evident that God’s got a blessing for His very own!
sumitted to you with a renewed spirit!

Do You 'Respond' or 'React'?
In every situation or problem, we have a choice to respond or react. And our choice determines how we get affected by the situation or problem.
My favorite example is that of a delayed flight. Most passengers choose to react by asking for an explanation for the delay, calling up family and friends to share the anger (‘why does it always happen to me?‘), demanding to ‘speak with the manager’, expecting free meals, continuing to be angry even after taking off and landing at the destination and perhaps for the rest of the day. If you choose to respond, you could be grateful that they found out the problem with the plane or the pilot or the weather while you are still on the ground, rather than finding out when you are 35,000 feet up in the air. You could catch up on some phone calls or shopping or reading, or simply enjoy doing nothing for a change. If the flight has been indefinitely delayed, you can alsorespond by trying to find another connection to your destination.
When someone criticizes you, you can react by offering explanations or starting an argument. Or you canrespond by trying to understand the other person’s perspective, by accepting that you aren’t perfect and by being grateful that someone cared enough to tell you about your weakness.
Have you noticed how some people react in bad weather by cursing everything and everyone, as if the more they’ll curse the better the weather will get. And how some people get angry and agitated in a traffic jam. So how do you respond to bad weather or traffic jam? You don’t. You simply accept it as a ‘situation’ that you can’t change. You expect it, you be prepared for it, you plan better.
The principal applies to everything and everyone in your life that’s less than perfect by your definition of perfection – the baby that cries exactly in the middle of the night, the son who insists on playing music and chatting and SMS’ing while studying, the daughter who refuses to conform to your ideals, the husband who refuses to ask for directions, the colleague who keeps a messy desk, the boss that only notices when you don’t do your job, the friend who is always late, the coffee that’s not hot enough, the service that’s not fast enough or good enough… the list goes on. You can’t change most of the people and things in this world, but you can change how you react or respond. It’s not the people or situations or problems that make us unhappy. Our reaction does.
I believe responding can significantly improve the quality of our life, relationships, productivity and even health.

Set your Goals with Confidence
“Who has confidence in himself will gain the confidence of others”. Looking at a successful person, we usually presume that, what had made the person to become so flourishing. The one and only answer to this question would be his self confidence. Without self confidence it is unattainable for a person to succeed in his life or career or whatever the affair it may be. Right from simple things to complicated things, if you need to achieve them, you need to have confidence. People with self confidence generally have excellent skills and are completely self-possessed.
Prior to enhance your self confidence you need to know what does an over confidence and under confidence mean. Maintaining a balanced self confidence is always good for your future. Over confidence is having excess belief in yourself and at the other end, having a least belief in yourself is called under confidence. A person who is over confident usually take too much of risks and finally witness a break down. Whereas on the other case, under confident people don’t even tend to take risks, thereby not giving themselves a single try. With a right and balanced self confidence, you can set and achieve your goals in a genuine manner.
Failures come and go in everyone’s life. It is fairly true that successful people are those, who had experienced the maximum number of failures. They manage to compete in every tough situation with the courage and confidence they have. Each time they face a failure, they do consider it as a challenge to overcome from that. The two major things that contribute to self confidence are self esteem and self efficacy. People with a balanced confidence are probably self esteemed persons. Having belief and respect on yourself would render others to have the same on you. Enhancing your positive thinking could obviously help you in boosting up your self confidence. Being calm and ambitious is the vital quality that one needs to have, in order to achieve his goal. Hard working is an equally important spirit, which assists you in knocking the success door. Once you achieve success, eventually you could feel a confidence building in you. Only this type of confidence leads you to withstand difficult challenges and persist in the face of setbacks.
Too many people overvalue what they are not, and undervalue what they are. This is the foremost blooper that everyone does. If you endeavor in building your confidence, then primarily know your talent and concentrate on things which you excel in. Find out your skills and start working on fabricating your talents. Self confidence builds in you right from your child hood. Parental support and acceptance play a vital role in enhancing a child’s confidence. Parents who encourage and support their children, each time they experience a fall are likely to build their child’s self confidence. Without self confidence nothing is possible. Hence keep in mind that, self confidence is the primary thing that shows you the way to success.

What to Do When Life Drives You Up the Wall – The Little Prince Series
Daily Insight from the Story of The Little Prince
For many years i knew there were things about my life that desperately needed to change.
I read self-help books, took courses, listened to and watched talks, and went on retreats, all of which were geared to changing my beliefs about myself and my patterns of thought.
I got some results, but never the fundamental change I sought.
It wasn’t until I learned that our beliefs, behaviors, and thoughts are grounded in an emotional charge of which we are often unaware that my life began to truly change.
I didn’t end up improving the quality of my thoughts, however. I simply stopped thinking and became aware. And it happened without trying to make it happen. In fact all the effort I had put into trying to change my thoughts proved to be pretty useless in the end.
The emotional charge we carry within us is the key to all of our behavior and the reason we hold the beliefs we do and think the thoughts we think. Once integrate this charge and everything is different.
Someone asked me recently how we know when an emotional charge has been integrated, as opposed to simply having moved on from a situation in our life that tended to trigger us emotionally.
For instance if you work with someone who gets your goat, and they leave your place of employment, you aren’t triggered by that person any longer. Or if you are in a romantic relationship with someone who constantly drives you up the wall, and you divorce, there’s no one to aggravate you any longer. How do you know whether you are no longer emotionally reactive simply because your circumstances have changed?
Life is a wise teacher. The universal Presence that pervades the universe, and in which we all participate, is able to orchestrate situations that bring to our attention precisely those things that need to change in our life.
If we have simply moved on from a situation that triggers us emotionally without integrating the emotional charge, a new situation will in due course arise that once again invites us to enter into the process of facing up to our reactivity and integrating the charge that drives it.
We can count on life to do this for us.
This is why situations keep reappearing in our life that recapitulate situations we have been through before. Until we self-confront, sitting with the emotional pain we are feeling, breathing through it as it slowly integrates, the pattern will keep on repeating itself.
In the fifth chapter of the story of the Little Prince, which I hope you are following in your own copy, we are introduced to a plant that grows on the Little Prince’s planet called a baobab. It’s actually a tree that grows in Africa; but if you transplant the seeds to a tiny asteroid like that on which the Little Prince lives, it has a devastating effect.
The Little Prince has asked for a sheep and the pilot has provided him with one. Why does he want a sheep? Because a sheep will constantly and consistently eat baobab shoots whenever they sprout on his little planet.
We’re going to find, as this story progresses, that the Little Prince left his planet and ended up on Earth because he decided he couldn’t take a certain situation any longer and felt he simply had to move on.
But the Little Prince didn’t integrate the emotional charge this situation triggered in him before moving on.
Now, long gone from his home, he is seeing things differently. He is realizing the importance of consistency in our attention to those “bad seeds” that arise, which symbolize displays of our emotional charge.
Anger, jealousy, pettiness, a critical attitude, impatience, intolerance, withholding, gossiping, sulking, pouting: all of these and so many more reactive emotions arise from our unintegrated emotional charge.
The sheep will calmly, daily, consistently eat up the sprouting baobabs as they arise—a picture of what we have to do the moment we begin to experience some form of manifestation of our emotional charge.
Here’s the beautiful thing this chapter teaches us about dealing with our emotional charge: We don’t have to agonize over it, become anxious about it, dread it, or fight it.
All we need is the calm, peaceful consistency of the sheep, so that each time something begins to arise, we take a few minutes to sit with it, feel it, and breathe gently through it so that it has an opportunity to become integrated.
And then the energy that was bottled up in this charge, which allowed us to be so easily triggered emotionally by people and circumstances, becomes freed up and available to invest in living our life creatively.
True to life’s wisdom as our teacher, the Little Prince has found himself in another situation—the presence of the pilot—that presents him with an opportunity to become integrated emotionally, so that he can in due course return to his planet a changed person.

Behold Our One Constant Equalizing Mocking Certainty and Beleaguered Friend: Death
MODE of Cosmic Therapy Esoteric Psycho-Analysis: Doing what Matters all the time!
As Human beings, we are all fascinating enigmas; first to ourselves, then to others. We are inconsistent, paradoxical, hopelessly elusive, self-seeking, vain, proud, capriciously entertaining, dramatic, and inestimably complex. Though we try to appear to be kind, caring, interested, considerate, empathetic and involved, IF we do not see a substantial (whether emotional, physical, or financial) return on the vested interest in the relationship, it will be short lived.
In other words, we gravitate towards people who either like us or are similar, support us in some way, make us feel good, or, last but not least, will benefit us by the association. Cold, hard, self-gratifyingly resiliently true though we will deny vehemently; in fact, we will go to great lengths to prove otherwise.
In the midst of displaying our glorified overstated efforts to establish what a decent loving, charitable and dutiful person we are, ( in addition to being a devoted helpful friend), we relish in reliving the many acts of loving-kindness by repeating (re-enforcing) all the things we did/do for others. These contrived words are usually masked behind ‘the how’ the other did not/does not appreciate our efforts, time, money or participation.
Our vacillating statements condemn us as soon as we reiterate to another ANY act of heroism [how we stepped in and saved the day or how the other simply could not have made it had it not been for us] we’ve undertaken. These self-superior acts of heroism include how we ‘paid the others way’ and/or “if it was for all the things I do” and “I’m simply not going to continue to put up with this any longer.” Never is there a justifiable need or occasion to restate something we’ve done or said. It was finished the moment it transpired.
The instant we refer to ourselves in a verifiable loftier (sometimes referred to as holier than thou) position, as in deserving more from another , or when we indicate that we’ve been ‘put out’, put upon, or taken advantage of, we have shown our true colors. We never do anything we do not want to do! No matter how our mealy mouthed contradictory words would declare otherwise.
When we begin to gossip, complain, backbite, whine, criticize or disapprove the actions of someone else, we are simply using the opportunity to enshroud our disdain in emotional self-sustaining glory. We take the favorable glee in the belittling another, as if it is our self-appointed right to do so. In these moments of self-intoxicated aggrandizement, we are ‘news toting tail bearers’ of the worst kind.
A prime example would be in how often are the times we use the words, “Don’t”, “I’m sorry”, “I didn’t mean to say that” “please” or “Thank You.” Yes, “Thank you.” These are words too often used, robotically as clear indications of abject superficiality. We, as children, were taught very early to be sure to use these words as a means of being polite and mannerly. For who, to whom, for whose benefit were these less than forced unnatural responses ingrained? Was it not merely a reflection of supposedly ‘good’ parenting skills? And, did we not conduct ourselves in a favorable manner for our parents merely as a ‘lust for some result we wanted or to eliminate an unwelcomed outcome by not complying?
Human beings are capable of far better ‘natural and convenient’ responses than those required of them by others who have ulterior motives, whether they were ‘good intentioned’ parents, or not. We are inherently positively responsive but have been so forebodingly shadowed intrinsically that our ‘natural and convenient’ reactions are thwarted and misguided. We learn early on what it takes to survive, thrive, and contrive. And, dependent upon how divergent our ‘mule teams’ of conditioned support were in our early years, are the partial results in our character make-up established.
Many unlikely elements go into the forming our outward character; sort of like baking a cake. {Just a pinch of salt, too much and the thing is ruined!} We need what we are offered while journeying through this old world. However, what we are offered is not necessarily conducive to what we need to incorporate but may be the very characteristics we need to eliminate. Authenticity is a ‘natural and convenient’ part of the human being but not without a lot of ‘de-assing’ in the process.
When we understand that what we do is always motivated by placing us in the best light, most favorable position, least troublesome, saturated by comfort, pleasure, security, appreciation and value, then and only then can we take the liberty to be genuinely real without all the hoopla attached. But, then there’s the catch; there’s always a catch! We are all born the indelibly imprinted idea that we are superlatively special/different and because of our undeniable uniqueness that we are to be acknowledged and treated with a certain respect, admiration and dignity.
These deep-seated feelings are not without warrant! We are, without a doubt, Masters of Divine Essence who have simply forgotten our heritage. But along with the celestial birthright, we are given the undisclosed ‘rite of passage’ of taking on the proposed lowly state of an ordinary human being on earth. In other words, because we are born gods in the making, we possess unlimited powers and benefits. The parody attached, however, to be really authentic and effective; we must never assert our innate power unnaturally or forcibly. We have no need to!
We are simply to do what we do because we want to do it, with all of all might and passion, for no other reason but to be thoroughly immersed in it! Most of all because our precious ruthless soul desires the earth experience; we will be presented with all sorts of indefinable obscured and inexplicable episodes. Remember: she is an impervious divine trickster, so no matter what the experience entails, grab it by the horns and go! The deal is not to take it personally.
The releasing generating liberating uplifting and sacredly sensually sexually artistic genuine motivation behind our every action is that we are ‘ordinary human beings encased in extraordinary’ influence! Nothing is denied us. No one is capable of destroying us! We call the shots without needing to. We are continually celebrated in our steps by our refusal to demonstrate our ability for hire and supremacy in character. In other words, “IF it matters to us; it matters.”
Here’s the tricky esoteric part: to be fully convinced of our humanity, we must live uproariously, passionately, meaningfully, sensually, emotionally vested, with valor, integrity and authenticity, convinced that what we do matters, contributes something of value, makes the world a better place while determinedly siding with our one constant equalizing mocking certainty and beleaguered friend: death.

Letting go while holding on for dear life
Letting go while holding on for dear life
My goodness we people can be such creatures of habits. If we aren’t careful we will spend our entire lives being just an older version of our younger self. In my case I think my parents should have gave me the middle name of Gonna. One day I am gonna do this and I am gonna do that just as soon as…….I am going to…..I promise you I am the one person who has never ever had any bad habits.
My bad habits had me wrapped up, tied up and bound. I could put my life on pause in a second and leave it there for the right moment. The right moment was not coming but since I was also the queen of excuses, I could always give you the reason. I don’t have time because, I have to many things to do, so I will get to it next week, do you realize how fast that week turned into a year and that year into a decade and……
It took me a while to learn that a lot of my pains, pressures and problems were simply symptoms that were trying to instigate change in my life. Sad but true, the only way I was going to really change was to have a dire consequence. Drop the weight or develop type 2 diabetes! Work hard at keeping passion and excitement in your marriage or it will become just a boring relationship! Give your kid more of you not more stuff or they will simply become empty people trying to fill an emotional void with stuff that never satisfies! My list could go on and on but my main problem was how to change? How to really change?
How do you let go while holding on for dear life? For me the solution materialized, when I came to the realization, that if I changed the way I thought about something it would eventually change the way I acted.
I learned to let go, of my dearly cherished, old habits by holding on tightly to what I wanted to become. It was and still is a totally mental and spiritual game. While my peers were busy telling me how they could never go without eating junk food. My mind was thinking of the benefits that come from healthy eating. I became prepared for health. My desire for good food became stronger than my desire for junk.
Instead of getting excited by a high calorie dessert, or a decadent feast. I became excited about becoming stronger, healthier and in shape. I would learn to do the uncomfortable things that would harness excellent results instead of doing the feel good, easy stuff that wastes valuable time.
I am no longer afraid to grow older, because I am prepared. I now knew it is possible to be a strong and vibrant 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 year old. I now know how to let go while holding on for dear life. I no longer have to try and try and try to change my actions only to stay in the same situation feeling like a failure. I still occasional visit the land of gonna, but I don’t hang around too long. Now I have discovered that as I change the way I think I change the person I am.
Program yourself for success, be willing to pay the price and unleash your awesome potential.You are made from quality material….believe it… act upon it… flourish and grow.
