Will you try to reach your dreams or go for it?
Is it worthwhile and/or challenging enough for you to achieve your goal, which is it?
Experience has taught me that nothing in life worth having is easy, it doesn’t exist and doesn't feel right!
Dear Valued Friend,
If your ability to clear the path and take back control over your life is really important to you...then thanks for your company, you've come to the right place.
Let me ask you something: "will you try to reach your dreams or will you go for it?"
That's not suppose to be a trick question but keep reading and you'll understand why?
One thing I've discovered for certain (working in the trenches, so to speak) is the way you feel about life, how you feel is transferred or expressed and people pick-up on your energy, whether they're ware of it or even understand the pyschological process...it definitely happens.
You've got to clear your path (make room for sunshine) what I mean you've got to clear your thoughts.
You do this by taking action...learn this effective way to unclutter your thoughts and also your (surroundings) because your environment stimulates and compells you for action or inaction.
On the other hand it's causes a lot of heartache and damage too, a sign that you lack self-esteem because a cluttered environment is a reflection of your thoughts at that point in time...
You may have reached a point of crisis, frustration, anger or where chaos reigns.
It often gets that way because you think that kind of set-up's all that you deserve, and, once it does, the task of finding a better place for things, or simply junking them, seems overwhelming.
It's a vicious circle...the more out of hand clutter gets, the greater the damage it's inflicting on your self-esteem, and the lower your self-esteem, the more out of control or worse the situation gets.
And the harder it becomes for you to do anything about it.
Most people in this situation simply don't believe that they can put things right.
If you're seeing yourself as a failure, you've basically set yourself up to not be able to take the ineffective action that you want in order to move towards success, even though you might know exactly how to do it.
• You'll not want to make friends because you'll expect them not to like you
• You'll avoid making decisions because you'll expect to make the wrong choice
• You'll do your best to avoid being noticed because being ineffective means attracting criticism
• You'll not reach your dreams because you alraedy know that you're bound to fail...
You can only act in ways that are positively consistent with the image of yourself.
This is the image you hold in your own mind and you just can't act in any other way.
The good news is that your self-image and your self-esteem are closely related to your self-confidence and what you can achieve and these variable are all within your own control.
This may be a new concept to you.
Many people have silently suffered in an environment that has taught to see themselves as victims and to believe they can't succeed because of one reason or another...
For example:
- They've come from a poor background and will never amount to much
- Their parents didn't encourage them to think independently
- They've had a lot of pressure on them from peer groups, siblings, or their class-mates bullied them
- They've been the victim of incest or a violent crime
- Unfortunately you get the picture, thats just the tip of the ice-berg the list goes on...
If you're not as happy in this moment, it's probably because you've let other people, or the circumstances dictate and control you.
That's a natural thing to do for anyone who doesn't know what you're learning now.
You can be a successful, charismatic person as soon as you change what you're thinking and begin doing what makes you believe you can be.
It's not just good enough to believe, you've got to have focus and purpose, taking action to back up your belief.
Focus on the now and move with each step looking forward.
Many people seem to spend their whole lives looking backwards.
Most of them aren't the most positive people you can meet anyway because they cling onto their past but everyone's past is littered with failure and mistakes...but who cares about your past?
It doesn't mean you're stupid for making mistakes because failure is often the most important element or lesson to move towards a successful result.
You see, whatever you can do, you've had to learn, and the way you learn is by doing things.
You can't always be successful the first time, that's why you learn from what works and what doesn't. Once you learn from a mistake, the best way you can deal with it is just remember how to do it again and forget what didn't work.
Its dead set easy...mistakes they serve you in useful ways when you forget them and move on.
Left to itself, your self-image will happily focus on your successes, and that's how it empowers you to more of the same.
The more success you experience, even in small daily doses, reinforces your confidence in the relevant thoughts and actions.
The more you tune in to your self-image, the more you'll focus on success and the higher your self-esteem and self-confidence will rise.
If you continue to dwell on your mistakes, the opposite will happen...your self image will project or amplify one of failure, inhibiting every effort you make towards success.
Remember your past does not represent your future so you've always known less than you do now. You know more today than you knew yesterday.
Even your most practiced everyday skills you've refined and honed them more today then the previous day before.
Whenever you think of yourself in the past, let that image go, relax, even if your circumstances seemed much happier then.
Your future is still brighter, your relationship more solid and your work much more rewarding because you're seeing a more accomplished and successful person than you were.
Focus on the more competent and skillful person that you are now...today, and the successful person that you will be tomorrow.
Just by taking the steps life teaches you, you've taken responsibility for yourself and where you're heading.
That's the beginning of real fun, success and happiness...your lasting kind.
