Take a Risk

It occurred to me tonight, as I sat through a presentation about a communication workshop. Trying to define what I am really missing in my life and drilling down to the meat of what I have and don't have in my life. I think I'm pretty clear on what I don't have. I've also done my part in trying to determine why I believe the things that I do and what is behind those thoughts. 

While I was there, I explained where I am with what I wanted to "work on" (my career).  There was a part of the workshop that asked us to really define what we are doing, what we have (the results) and being. In response I really replied that I am jumping off the corporate train into the world of individual sales. I am enjoying the perks of the job (lunches, time off etc). Which means that I have lack of clients, that I have fear, that I don't have money in the bank, that I have unresolved debt. I then am left being kind of lazy, kind of fearful, kind of still in debit,....

When I was leaving, I met another person who told me that she just wanted to say hello to me as what I had said had so closely echoed her own experience. When she went on to explain, I realized that indeed we have several similarities. Which gave me ponderance to think about why I feel the way I do. (which amazingly - is EXACTLY the outcome they wanted to happen).

When you wrap your thoughts around what might or might not be true in your world - you create you own type of reality. While the events have an element of truth to them - they also have a truth to what you emotionally attach to them. What you make up in your head about what you believe about yourself or what you believe of others or even what others believe of you...is largely made up in your head. 

This can have an effect in many areas of your life. And perhaps when you apply the principles of it to your life your life can become more fulfilling all the way around. Opening up that thought process and knowing why you believe something can help you get to the bottom of it to change it. To make it a brighter point of truth and hope.  

But the reality of this thought process has me thinking in so many other areas of my life that could  benefit from this type of thinking. From a renewed sense of where I can really go if I don't attach negative thoughts and behaviors behind myself. That I don't listen to the little voice in my head that says no - but rather teach it to be friends with the voice that says anything is possible. That you are good at what you have chosen to do. That you are perfect exactly the way you are - and if others can't see that...well that is their problem.

Take a risk - believe that ANYTHING is possible. That the rules that you have believed about yourself in your head - just are not true. That those rules don't apply to you. You can do what you want. You will succeed in whatever you set your mind to. That you can set the nay-sayers right.
