If
there's one thing constant in both
our life's, it's that they are always changing.
But
what are they changing to and do
we REALLY like it?
You
may agree with me, that as a human
being, we can both be prone to resisting change.
We often like to stay in our comfort zones
and can be reluctant to take a risk, even
when they're needed and would improve our
personal and professional lives.
In
our business and our personal time,
how often do we think, believe, and feel that
we should undertake a change, but neglect
the opportunity to do so?
Two
Hours - Three Opportunities
Just
this morning, in the two hours before
I sat down to write this article for you,
I've had the opportunities to continue to
earn the same amount of money or make more,
increase or decrease someone else's abundance,
and accept or decline an offer that could
lead to me realising a dream I've had for
five years.
In
truth, I probably had more
opportunities than that, but these were the
ones I noticed. I suspect if you paused and
took note of what's been happening to you
today, your day has been no different to mine.
The
reason why most people don't change
things is that they don't fancy the 'doing'
part. We analyze, study and mull it over to
death. In fact we spend so much time preparing
to change, that you'd actually think we prefer
the preparation more than dream we have in
our heads.
But
that's really not the case. We both know that.
How
we Can Work Together
If
we agreed that you'd take action on any one
thing you choose, we'd both know you were
on the move to creating the dream you have
in your head.
Of
course, the goal you have might still seem
miles away. But with every action you take
brings your goal closer.
When
I began CommunitySoul just over two
years ago, I did it because I wanted to see
positive change. I felt that you, me and everyone
else in the world has the potential to master
any area of their life.
My
belief in your capabilities hasn't changed.
I still believe in you. Is still believe you
can achieve all the things your heart desires.
But
sometimes we just don't know where to start.
Say,
for example, you're having trouble with money,
never getting ahead or are in debt, a good
place to start your personal mastery is to

If
you're in business and want to attract more
clients. The action you could take is to go
on a marketing workshop that helps you attract
more clients or understand and create
effective advertising.
Let's
Do Things Together Consistently
Once
we've taken the first step, you have to take
a second. Then it's just a case of taking
consistent daily steps that are in line with
what you want to achieve.
No
matter what you choose to change, whether
it's your image, you ability to use a computer
or your weight you must take consistent steps.
As you do, your belief in what you are doing
grows.
If
you feel impatient or frustrated by the fact
your goal or dream just seems so far away,
and you want to change the way that is, we
both know you can change that.
But
before you change it, there is one issue you
might have to face: the 'Am I worth it?' issue.
You
see, how many times do we see opportunities
that could take us closer to our dream and
then turn away saying, 'I can't afford that,'
or 'That seems too much.'
I
know people feel like this because I see it
everyday. A person calls us and says, 'You
do coaching?' Then they say, 'How much do
you charge?'
Immediately
we hear these words we know the caller is
really saying 'Are my dreams worth the cost?'
or 'If I pay you this much, will I have to
be committed to myself?'
We've
played with how much we charge for coaching,
and we've done it deliberately. And I've come
to the conclusion that the price doesn't really
matter.
What
matters is, how worthy a person feels.
You
see, I know - and I suspect you know this
too - that neither you, nor I, can put a price
on your dream.
And
when we receive a call from someone saying,
'I have a dream I'd like you to help me achieve,'
we know we can help them. How do we know?
We
know we can help them because they are coming
from the right place. That place is not a
place of 'lack' or limitation. It is not a
place of not being good enough, or not having
the money. It comes from a place of 'I WANT
THIS. I AM WORTHY. I AM COMMITTED TO ME.'
We're
all moved by stories of people who have nothing
but go onto greatness. We love the hero's
journey. Books and movies are made of this
stuff.
The
hero at some point always has to face his
enemy. Sometimes that enemy is the face that
stares back at him from the mirror. But every
time, the hero says, 'Can we do this?'
And
every time the answer has to be yes.
But
rather than escaping into a story, why not
become the story? Why not become the hero?
My
challenge to you is to become the hero of
your own life. Learn to accept the opportunities
before you and master the things that challenge
you.
