What is stopping YOU from Realising YOUR dream and living the life you desire?
For those who prefer to read, here is most of the scripted dialogue from the video
Picture this situation:
You feel yourself starting to get out of your seat to go to the back of the room but before you can gain enough momentum to launch out of your seat and take the next step, you hear a voice in your head, a voice you've heard many times before, a voice you don't want to hear or pay any attention to, but it is a voice that has controlled your decision making and kept you where you are for all of your life..........
"Who do you think you are? you're not good enough to make that happen. Why do you need to be doing that anyway, you're comfortable enough, aren't you? Why take the risk?"
How many times has that little voice in your head whispered those words to you just when you have been on the brink of wanting to do something to change the direction of your current path in life?
How many times?
You've heard of this phrase right........"If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll continue to get what you've always got!"
The problem is, most people spend much of their life being comfortable and unfortunately that is the problem.
Consider this:
Being comfortable:
1. didn't enable Thomas Edison to relentlessly pursue his dream of making the electric light a reality -
even after 10,000 failures!
2. didn't enable Henry ford to realise his dream of enabling everybody the opportunity to own a
family car, even after many failures and bankruptcy
3. didn't enable Walt Disney to realise his dream of building a place where everybody could just be
happy, even if for a little while. He even went against the recommendations of his own board and
numerous bankruptcies to realise his dream
And yet, we can sometimes baulk at stepping over the line because we either fear failure or fear what other people might think of us. For what?
An opportunity to make ourselves and the world a better place.
Here's the thing, thinking small is not only restrictive but stops you from making a difference. What you need to do is get the focus off "you" and onto others. When that happens, you will start to think big picture and that's when things will start to happen for you. Guaranteed!
Why?
Well, because when you think big picture, there is no time think about the small things that we think are problems. Funny how they seem to disappear!
So what is holding YOU back?
What excuses do you find yourself making on a daily or weekly basis that are cheating you out of leading a life of service, helping those in your world to be better people, to be making a bigger difference for the common good?
It all starts with your mind set and if you are finding it difficult to change it, I suggest you start by doing some really simple things:
1. Meditate on a daily basis, preferably in the morning for at least 20 minutes. As part of this,
visualise what it is that you want down to the fine detail. This will set up your day.
visualise what it is that you want down to the fine detail. This will set up your day.
2. Read books and teachings by those who are already successful and making a difference in the
world. There are thousands of them out there. Branson, Trump, Dalai Llama, John Maxwell,
Dr John Demartini, Darren Hardy, Bob Proctor, John Assaraf, Joe Vitale, the list goes on........
3. Make sure your daily actions have a purpose. This will keep you focussed.
So, in conclusion, the next time you are challenged to step over the line to get out of your comfort zone and take action, are you going to listen to the voice in your head, or recognise its existence, ignore it and take the step anyway. Try it, you will be amazed at how empowered it will make you feel!
Until next time - stay safe but don't necessarily play safe!
