What To Do When You Feel Your Dreams Are Too Far To Reach?
As part of our ‘Love your Life, Love your Business’ series, I’ll be showing you how you can overcome some of the obstacles that hinder you in life and talk about the importance of going for your vision now. Why not claim your seat? In 30 minutes you’ll realise what you need to do next in order to re-energise and love the life you lead.
You may not be aware of it, but sometimes that age-old adage is true: you are your own worst enemy. We all do it, float through life, plodding along and going with the flow of daily activities.
It’s easy to see that so many of our great ideas simply stay as great ideas because we focus on tasks that steal valuable time away, such as answering our emails or updating our status on Facebook.
However, it’s often harder to see the subtle negative “mind chatter” that causes our focus to shift to such tasks by cluttering our thinking and preventing us from seeing who we really are – and what we can truly accomplish. Thinking like this gets in the way of the path we choose in life and we risk thinking more about the infinite variables (the “what ifs”) in life rather than remembering we are in control of our destiny.
Life can be stressful, especially at times when we are bombarded with so many needs and responsibilities. It feels like if we don’t address these issues in a timely and efficient manner that the world will just fall apart at the seams. Think about situations you allow to plague you – mounting debt, a strained friendship or relationship, your job not being what you want it to be – and then take a good hard objective look at your thought patterns. It can be tricky to catch what your mind is up to but when you do can be incredibly revealing and empowering.
However, excessively thinking about all the hypotheticals can also lead itself to obsession that can impede on every aspect of your life, causing harm to your relationships and reducing your overall happiness and productivity. This doesn’t help anyone, least of all you!
If you’re self-critical or struggling to regain control of your vision, there’s no point beating yourself up about it. Simply try imagining something more positive – it will lift your mood. Think about how easy it is to rise to an occasion when you have a positive outlook.
Perfectionists (and I include myself in that term) – I’m sorry to break the news to you like this, but we’re not perfect. Our self-worth is not dependent on getting that “Grade A”. Remember, you only need a 51% share in a business to have overriding control!
Setting yourself up for long-term success depends on focusing on a vision you love and taking action that supports you in moving towards that vision. Sometimes things won’t go the way you want them to go…and that’s fine as long as they go the way you want them to go 51% of the time. Reaching out to others helps us develop new ways of achieving today what we would otherwise put off until tomorrow.
Transformational Adventures is about empowering you to make choices that support you in your business, and your life.
