Have you ever
stumbled upon something that you are passionate about? Maybe it was a fantastic
idea, but immediately your inner critic took over and you then proceed to come
up with over five hundred reasons why it won't work? If you are guilty of that,
then my next question is, why are you sabotaging your own success before it
even takes off? Take a look at your life. Are you happy with where you are in
your life? Do you want something more for your life? Okay, what are you doing
to move your life from where it is to where you desire?
May be you are
thinking that someone like you will never make it. You feel that the good life
is for others, just not for you. Or you may believe that you are way too busy
living in the real world, so you do not have time for fantasies. How right and
wrong you are. If you have stopped dreaming, stopped having fantasies, then no
wonder your life is not moving from where it is and no wonder you feel that the
life you are living is all there is. Hear this and hear this good - You can
create the life you desire and just like anyone else you too are deserving of
the good life. The trick is, yes, you have to do some work.
Many of us have
gotten so beaten down by life that we have basically given up on our dreams,
our desires and our passions. Once we allow life to make us throw in the towel,
then that is the end to any external success we may have the potential to
attain. It is in the tough times that we need to hold on to our dreams, desires
and our passions. When we stop dreaming, then life will be able to drain us of
our energy, our inner drive. That is when we will start to feel burnt-out,
tired, depressed, our shoulders start to drop and we just give up on life. Life
is what you make it, but to make it, we need to be present in our life, front
and center. If we are to attain any kind of external success in our life, we
cannot afford to give up on our life. There is more to life.
Pick up your dreams,
reignite your passions. You too can live a passionate life, but in order to do
that, you first need to change your thinking. You cannot change your present
life with the same thinking that got you into that life in the first place. Do
not try to force yourself to go it alone. Seek out others who are living the
kind of life that you desire. They do not have to be rich and wading in oodles
of money. Seek out those who are living a peaceful life, an abundantly wealthy
life and soak up their energy. The same energy that draws you to someone you
are romantically attracted to you that is the energy you need to tap into so
that you will be drawn to those who emulate the life you desire. Do not be
afraid of asking them how they got to live the life they are living or how are
they able to maneuver life's challenges.
Success does not
necessarily have to have a monetary value. Of course, it all comes down to what
kind of success you desire for your life. Overall, whatever you desire in your
life, you need to surround yourself with the people who embody what you desire.
If you are not, you will find your energy being depleted; you are struggling to
hold on to life, until you find yourself feeling empty. Fill yourself up on
what you need for your life. If you were hungry, then you know that you need to
find something filling to eat. If you are thirsty, then you need to drink
something refreshing.
The same thing applies
to your life. If you find that your life is feeling empty and depleted, then
you need to find whatever it is that will help you to fill that emptiness
inside of you. That does not mean that you should overeat, over drink and fill
that emptiness with things that will only make your health worse. Seek out
things that are fulfilling and substantial. Just as how you can't fully operate
on an empty stomach, your life cannot fully operate on an empty feeling inside.
Your life is
screaming out for something more. Start taking steps to feed your life with
things that are healthy and will build you up internally. Yes, it takes
substantial work for your life to begin turning in the direction of your North
Star. You also need to be willing to do that work. Living your life fully is
not for the faint-hearted. You need to show up every day to and for your life.
The days that you feel out of it, rest. Do not force your life. Quietly remove
yourself from the chaos of the outside world, find a quiet place where you can respectfully
listen to your internal voice.
Allow your life to
guide you in the direction that it needs to go. Declutter your space, declutter
your mind. As you declutter your mental and emotional self, you will be able to
better hear the messages of your Soul. You may not believe this, but you have
everything inside of you that you need to move your life in the direction that
you desire.
You have everything
you need inside of you to lead your life to the inner and external success you
desire. If you were to start believing that you are already a success
internally, then you will be able to start believing in yourself more and thus
stop sabotaging your own success. Whatever you desire, it can be yours. Are you
ready to start taking the steps required to get you from where you are to where
you desire to be? Remember, your life can move only to the degree that you are
willing to move.
