“Whether you can dream it, or you can do it; only the possibilities are before you.” maker unknown
Are you still searching for that one thing that you want so badly – something you would love to do right now? But, without courage, knowledge, and skills, you’ll have trouble achieving anything. Most likely, you’re:
“Prepared, but lacking inspiration.”- Oprah Winfrey
So, how do you learn to be inspired? If you don’t have guidance, focus, focus, inspiration, how can you get off this ” island of despondence”?
You are not alone. But first, you need to leave the island. That was my living definition of success – peace, tranquility, calm, contentment, and focus. Get out and experience the world. Everyone else knows someone who is punished and suffers in going to prison. But you hate the pain. You feelHow?
“I’m too scared to leave the island.”
Pull yourself up and out! Get out of your comfort zone, and don’t do anything you’re not supposed to, if you don’t want to get shot. Well, who is giving you the orders? “I” won’t let you go. BUT… you do have courage. I call it courage because it comes from the Latin word meaning “fear”. It’s your call. You can let yourself experience the world, or just live disappointed and normal.
If you’re an average person who just wants to be, you live like a chained slave for life. You have to, for the “paycheck” you are in life. Self-limitations don’t exist. Hey, you don’t want to live like an average person, do you?
You already know, if you stop now, you cannot continue with self-limitations. You will have a lot more fun if you leave the island and think about living life! Get out! Stop thinking about those “spin-offs” – that will land you back in the prison.
“Too much power in too little time.”
What is it that you’re passionate about? What makes you happy?
“How much more money can we get?”
It’s simple. You can have money. You just have to allow it to come into your life. Quit waiting, stop thinking, and stop waiting. It’s not going anywhere. So, stop struggling?
“Too many choices.”
If you are upset, then life is just too complicated. Change your pattern; get off the ” island of despondency! Remember, all you need is one thing. Imagine (don’t visualize) it and always be thinking about it! It will happen!
“I’m too old.”
It’s going to be too late to achieve success or happiness if you’re too old. Time is not going to stand still; you will have to become your new-age self.
Other “isms” about living with fear and doubt:
“Time will pass whether I make a difference or not.”
You’re not going to make any difference in your life if are disorganized and lack time management or flexibility. If you want time to pass and fear, you have to let go of being busy. Do it NOW. Get off the ” island of despondency ” and start living *Now!”.
“I will never be [in better position/health/money/relationship status/etc.].”
Living your dream means discovering your potential and doing it. The power of sharing your truth leads to making a difference.
“Too many dangers lie waiting in the misty haze before you.”
Life is full of challenges. Sometimes things don’t move according to your plan. Just don’t give up. Keep moving forward. Nothing is carved in stone. You have to take risks. If you’re not taking risks, you’re simply existing. Now!
These “isms” are general overviews of life. And, these “isms” are things to aspire to. They are building blocks on which you can build your society. But, they are also obstacles that you can overcome. You have to use intrinsic tools to change the society in which you want to live. Yes, you can. Get out and do it. Get started right away. Today.
