We are bombarded by so many choices, decisions, pressures, and demands on our time and life that it can leave us feeling paralyzed or depressed. We are essentially becoming stuck as a society. Many people act like victims and complain about their current station in life which is a sign of this ongoing problem. If you feel stuck, our purpose is to help you assess your life and get going in the direction of YOUR DREAMS.
Life is a series of choices. Becoming aware of the 5 forces that hold you back will help you evaluate and make empowered choices to live life on your terms and go in the direction of your choosing.
Awareness is huge. These hidden forces want you to always close your eyes and hope that everything will be all right or to metaphorically “sweep it under the rug” and hope it goes away by itself. Is this a good strategy? Not if you want to break free of harmful behaviours or issues that plague you.
Awareness precedes action.
Decision determines your destiny!
Being Powerful Right Now! is about becoming powerful in the moment. Too many people get trapped in the “someday effect”. Someday I will __________. You can fill in the blank with whatever you want. Why not be Powerful Right Now! by spending some time today on your dreams, desires and life?
Successful living is defined differently by everyone. In order to lead a long term successful life, we need to start taking small daily actions towards our dreams. Consistent small adjustments are a best practice to becoming a better you.
In addition to the “someday effect”, there is also the “straight jacket effect”. Would you openly let someone put you in a straight jacket? Many people put on their own straight jacket and never take it off. Why do you let your dreams, goals, desires or aspirations be taken from you without even challenging this process?
Over the next few weeks, I will take you through exploring the 5 hidden forces that hold you back from your own greatness. Then we will explore the ways in which you can overcome these 5 forces.
Greatness is a very personal subject for most people and is different for each person. For some it is maintaining a top fitness standard. Others want to contribute to their community. Others see it in financial results or career progression. For some, it is overcoming an addiction or personal challenge, while others look at greatness as being better than they were yesterday or last week.
What is your greatness?
What are one or two things that you will do differently this week to be powerful?
There is power in the moment of choice. Being Powerful Right Now! means making the most powerful choice in the given moment. For some people that may mean choosing water over soda to drink because the satisfaction of fitting into a smaller pair of pants is stronger than the moment of desire for soda. For others it is choosing to go to the gym and exercise knowing that the feeling after exercise is always better than the feeling before exercise. Other people may choose to be powerful by holding back a negative word or gossip filled conversation in order to avoid spreading negative energy. They walk away with a powerful feeling of self worth.
Today is filled with opportunities to be powerful. The key question is whether you will see those opportunities and take them, or let them idly pass you by?
