Do you ever find yourself with your head in the clouds, dreaming of the good life that you are going to live one day? The life you’ve always wanted from day one. The dream job. The dream house. The dream bank account.
Don’t get me wrong. I love all the simple pleasures life has to offer but come one…we want to live comfortably. Am I right?
My dream is to write several books on how to handle your shit. How to get a grip and begin again. I want my books sold everywhere. I want my name to be known everywhere. I can taste it. I can smell it. But…is it feasible?
Can this really happen to me? After all, I’m just a local bar manager with a certificate in life coaching.
Doesn’t sound like it is possible…does it?
Because I just put it in your head all my limitations.
Why do we remind ourselves what we aren’t, versus what we could be? Every one of us has the ability to become whatever we work towards. We aren’t just sitting on our ass praying for it. We and I hope this means everybody, is taking the steps needed to achieve our dream.
Goals are the steps taken. We need to set daily goals and finish them. Just baby steps to get one day closer to the big picture. You can’t just wish and dream about it. You have to physically move. Put it on paper. Research it on Google. Follow people that have done it and learn from them. Educate yourself. Kinetic energy is the energy that is created due to motion. You have to be in motion in order to keep the speed and energy going.
Once you start, you will find it impossible to stop if you truly are passionate about whatever it is you are trying to achieve. Put the wheels in motion. Speak it into existence. Shout it to the heavens!
For some of you that will not be so easy, because you have been conditioned to believe that where you are now is as good as it gets.
You want more, but you feel “guilty” because of it. You feel “greedy” and “ungrateful” for what you already have. Bullshit!
You have every God-given right to want better for yourself. You are the one living your life as it is now. You are the one feeling defeated every day when you go to that “lifeless” job you despise. You are the one going to bed with that person you don’t feel close to anymore. You are the one who cries in silence thinking there is no way out.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get with the program of your life. YOUR well-being. The phrase “you can’t pour from an empty cup” is true. You pour into everybody else’s dream until there is no water left for you. You are dying of thirst! You are breaking your own heart.
Why would you go through life feeling this way? Would you tell anyone you love to do the same with their life? I’m guessing no. You wouldn’t. Because you love them.
For you to take yourself seriously, you need to fall madly in love with YOU. We all need to accept our attributes and our not so pretty characteristics. Not everything is perfect. It is only by someone’s perception that something is deemed “perfect”. It is not reality. There is no such thing as “perfect”.
We are all beautifully “imperfect”. That’s what makes us so wonderfully human. Don’t wait for everything to be perfect, because it will never happen. Stop waiting for the perfect moment in time to start. Do it now! Start now!
Don’t worry about what others will think. They have their own shit to worry about. Sure, they’ll talk and point for a little bit, but then they will move on to something else. WHO CARES! You are doing this so that you and live a more deserving life and share it with the people you love. Not the people that you don’t even really know.
If you are faced with abuse, because of your desires, then you need to find a way to make it stop or get the fuck out. No one can feel aspired into achieving greatness if they are constantly kicked in the gut. Literally. You need to find help. You made a mistake, and now you need to correct it. If leaving is the only way out, then run for the door.
Don’t beat yourself up over little stumbles on the sidewalk. You have better things to do than to cry all day. You need to unleash your courage and fight for what you want. Stick up for yourself. Don’t allow what others tell you, you can’t do sink in. Defend your dream. It was placed there for a reason. Every great thing invented or created in life all started with a thought. A nagging urge that wouldn’t go away until it had to be done.
Don’t deny yourself the pleasure of getting it done. There is no greater feeling than accomplishing something you promised yourself you would get done. Promise yourself and follow through. Your dream is not too big. Your dream is meant to be bigger than your life now.
