If it's going to be, it's up to me...
How often do we make excuses and look towards someone else to get the ball rolling, to fix things, to *you fill in the blank*...
We abdicate, yeah, I include myself here sometimes. We figure someone else is gonna take charge. Wouldn't that be nice?
How's that working out?
It's a New Year...I know it's cliche...and, a clean slate is available to you to decide what exactly it is that you want. To be clear, we're not talking about the traditional goals for work... that's taken care of by default.
I'm talking about YOU. What do you keep waiting for? Is it the right time, the right circumstances, the right, whatever it is that you seem to think is going to come along one day. When, in fact, I think we all know that all of these factors don't exist, and yet wait we do...
What if you adopted this approach..."If it's going to be...it's up to me."
No excuses, just truly digging deep asking yourself... "How is my mindset standing between me and the things that I want?"
This doesn't preclude you from getting help, it's never about that...two heads are definitely better than one. And...if there's something you really want, you have to take the the initiative. The very first step, and that could mean you're reaching out to someone to help you. That's how it works. You don't have to do it as a solo journey...but you do have to start with the babiest of steps. While you're waiting for the ideal conditions...the time's gonna tick away.
The theme of time keeps coming up because if there's one thing that's sure, you don't get time back. You can't turn around and recoup time, it just doesn't work that way.
Where have you been waiting for "it" to happen?
For the right time, the right person, the specific circumstances or whatever your particular "it" is.
How's that working out?
What if you started with a plan for your first step.
Are you ready?
Let's get to it...
Your challenge...
It's a New Year. I want you to think about that thing that keeps crossing your mind. It's always there, quietly in the background...or maybe not so quietly sometimes.
And if you don't know what it is, maybe talk to someone who knows you well and get them to illuminate that for you. It's the thing that you always bring up and don't even notice you're doing it.
You got it? Great! Now ask yourself:
What's holding me back?
Sometimes it's things like: Not thinking you deserve the thing you want.
Or maybe like a lot of people, you're last on your priority list, so it keeps getting bumped.
Or maybe for you, you're just waiting for that particular person that you think should be doing it, to do it...and they're just not.
Or maybe...
You truly don't know where to start.
What happens when you apply the "If it's going to be, it's up to me" mindset?
Perhaps there are some tough decisions you have to make...some uncomfortable actions you have to take. Or maybe it really is reaching out to that one person and letting that be a start.
It is up to you and you're not alone - Contact me and let's set up your FREE chemistry call.
