You know more than you imagine!
I was talking recently about the need to trust ourselves more we really do know a lot more than we think. We’re a lot further on than we think we may feel stuck and think we know nothing but how true is that? Really? Do you know nothing? have you taken no steps at all to pursue your vocation?
Did you know that everything you need is already there?
We believe we are limited by the world around us.
We believe that we have been short-changed!
Everyone else seems to have what they need - and we don’t! And you know what? If that’s what you believe, that’s just how you’ll stay.
Why do they have goalposts on a football pitch
Imagine how the game would go if there weren’t any!
22 people, running about aimlessly, kicking a ball here or there. Nothing happening. No drama. No joy. No regret.
Just running about kicking a ball.
Are you giving someone else power over your thoughts?
It’s YOUR life, and YOUR thoughts
You will never be happy if you are bowing to others’ opinions!
Like you, I was “brung up” to be polite and respectful
I would take others’ opinions most carefully into consideration.
The REAL Reason People Stay In The Wrong Job For Decades (And What Can Be Done About It)
Like all of us - I made mistakes in my life, whether getting in with the wrong crowd, pursuing the wrong goals, or just not having any direction at all! When I think of what my poor parents had to put up with … 😢
Doing what you love all day long
And yet … how many of us are caught up in some sort of Puritan work ethic that means we must not enjoy ourselves?
That enjoying ourselves is somehow self-serving?
Don’t believe everything you think!
Why?
Because your brain is lying!
Listen to what it’s saying and scrutinise the statement before swallowing it whole.
Don't make New Year's Resolutions
Whyever not? BECAUSE!
Because they don’t work. Because they’re just wishes, not based in any reality. They’re an empty hope, waiting for the Wish Fairy to wave her magic wand.
Stop asking for permission!
We are reared as nice, polite, little girls and boys.
We are taught to ASK before doing things.
“Don’t just dive in!” we’re told. “Ask nicely and wait your turn …”
And that’s all good and well for bringing children up to be well-mannered, and not grabby hooligans!
How much am I really worth?
This is another of those WRONG questions! Of course you have worth, and that worth will vary for whoever you’re dealing with.
Ask a better question and you’ll get a better answer!
The important thing is to remember your own value as an individual
