If someone else can do something, then you can do it. It can be done….and sometimes, even surpassed. You can do whatever it is you put your mind 🧠to. Whatever it is your heart ❤️ is set on... You can do it. I’m not saying it will be easy… and often it isn’t, but whatever it is deep down inside of you that you want…. I mean truly want, at a subconscious level, you can do it. You are in control of you. That road, that path can be difficult and often is, but think of it this way…. Life is difficult….Life is not easy. It’s about choosing your “difficult”… focusing your energy on the things that you want in life… and working towards them. Think of it as… your thoughts being your navigational beacon. Where ever you focus your thoughts… is where you focus your energy. Ask yourself: Are my thoughts focused on my past failures? Are my thoughts focused on all the things I’ve failed at? Am I telling myself that I can’t do it? If that is the case… I want you to think about things a little differently. When you think about past failures, ask yourself: What could I have done differently to get a better outcome? What could I have done differently, that would have made things different for me? How can I take this similar situation… that’s happening right now, in the moment and chose to make different choices that moves the situation in the direction I want? And remember… I’m not perfect, you are not perfect, WE, are not perfect. We are all human beings. We do things, we fall down, we learn, we get up, we adapt, we move forward. We are in constant motion. The reality is that time is in constant motion and we move with time from one moment to the next…. So, chose to navigate your moment with time. Chose to be present with what is going on in your world and directing your moments towards the outcomes that you want. When you have these thoughts pop up in your mind… and that voice inside is speaking to you. Have the courage to act on that voice. We often will reflect back, saying to ourselves…. “ I should have listened to myself”. “I should have spoken up.” And if you didn’t act on it… Don’t beat yourself up… Because the beauty in life is that you always have a new opportunity. A new moment… a fresh start. It just takes the courage to take that first step. But once you take it, the second step is a little easier… and the step after that is even easier… because you’ve already broken through that wall that was up. You see, we create those walls. No one else creates them. Something in our past, happened in our life and caused us to retreat, build a wall for protection and safety, so that thing doesn’t happen again. Then we allow that wall to keep us there, in that moment. It keeps us from being able to move forward…Making ourselves comfortable being within that wall. We have accepted that that’s who we are and that is we’re we will be. But always remember that you are in control of you. If you want to put a door in that wall so you can pass through to the other side… and go for a walk or take a trip or find a new place to settle down… either way…. You can do that. You are in control of your thoughts, your mind, your body, your heart. It is a beautiful thing when we can finally give ourselves permission to move towards the things we want in life. And remember, it won’t be easy. It can be hard. But life isn’t easy. Life is hard. This is about choosing your “hard” … choosing your life. Doing the things that bring you meaning. Doing the things that fill your heart. Doing the things that… at the end of the day when you lay down to go to sleep… you smile…. Because you took one step towards the things that bring you happiness and joy. You are in control of you. Thank you for Tuning in to this episode. Thank you for pressing the play button.
