As busy professionals we are always on the lookout for the
best way to accomplish our goals. We want more freedom to
enjoy the benefits that being our own "master" provides.
As we seek to expand our prosperity and productivity we encounter
many individuals who help and support us on our path.
But what about the times we find ourselves
going back again and again for support and ... it isn't working.
The "answer" always
seems to be "one off" from the solution that we're seeking.
Maybe if we would look at life just a little differently
from the inside, we would see a dramatic change on the outside.
Often the challenges we face as entrepreneurs,
parents or individuals - aren't the real problem at all and
we get caught
in an endless loop trying to solve the obvious (or put out
the current fire), when the obvious isn't the issue and
the next
time
it happens it "somehow" just looks a little bigger.
Consider the power you would experience if
the things that were happening in your life were simply mirrors
to encourage
you to see yourself as others see you or as you (at a deep
level) see yourself. You would then have the power to clear
the mirror and take a
step closer
to the
freedom you desire. Let me give you an example.
Imagine you had an 'awareness
of' and a 'trusting in' the overall plan of life and a broader
understanding
of why things are happening. There would be less
struggle and resistance. And you could find both the source
of the petty irritations
AND the major challenges that you face.
When you are able to connect with this gift
of the mirror, you then have the ability to find greater
freedom "to be",
"to do", and ultimately "to have" all
the prosperity you envision.
I suggest that most of us want the same freedom
in our life; the ability to "do the things I want when
I want to do them.". The freedom
to live this way may be as close as a simple shift in your
thoughts
and connection with your feelings.
The old saying, "When the student is ready, the teacher
will appear" holds true for the freedom we seek in business
as well as in our personal lives.
Start by asking questions
and finding a team that supports the growth that YOU are
looking for in your life. As you gather your support team,
use these 7 action steps to assist in moving closer to your
goals:
1) Remember you always have a choice.
2) Show up and be present.
3) Start with the tools you have and build from there.
4) You are a direct reflection of your outlook on life - you have the
power to change!
5) Keep your passion alive in everything you do!
6) Be conscious of the connections to people, places and events in the world
around you.
7) Use your team to help you stay focused on the big picture!
