Enough To Flip Your Lid!

Well, if it is worth energy, there will still be plenty of opportunities to give-in to our limitations. What makes it so stressful, is our minds are constantly shifting back and forth; I can, no I can't, I can, no I can't.

With every obstacle that surface, our mind is doing it's very best to see if we "really" want to do this. And, sometimes, we do our best to listen. I have discovered that only meaningful successes I have ever had was when I didn't sway back and forth in that kind of double-minded-ness.

You want to know what a double minded person is? A person who is attempting to operate in faith and fear at same time. When you are double minded, "can't" side of your mind makes you focus on your limitations. When you are focused on limitations, instead of end result that you desire, it doesn't matter whether limitations are real or imagined, they will just make you feel dumber than home made dirt because you don't really know for sure.

Now, sometimes universe just feels sorry for us and gives us a little bone. You know what I mean; it's like being a little bit pregnant. Just enough to make us aggravated and want to jump in with both feet, and, next time we'll show thing what we're made of.

But, don't misunderstand universe. It's not trying to hold us back. Oh, No…., It just wants to know what we believe. And, if we show a full steam ahead attitude, then universe says, now, that's Spirit. In A Pigs Eye, You Say! Oh Yeah! Then what happens is, TEST! Oh yeah, we showed our confidence and our boasting and now universe says "test time". Now don't get paranoid. This is supposed to happen. If it were not for test, we would all have enough money to burn a wet dog.

I know that's a nice thought, but remember, gravity won't go away and neither will test. It's part of equation and necessary for our growth and development.

Here is what is happening. As an illustration I'll use gravity again. Gravity is always trying to make airplanes crash. It is ever trying to bring them down. But, there is a higher law, and that is law of lift.

Now do you think that airplanes could ever have flown if everyone believed that limitation of gravity was impossible to overcome? Sure, gravity is a big limitation, and it's real, but there is also a way to overcome it. And, that's our job: to find a way to make it work, without killing us, or putting our eyeball out, or ending up with foot-in-mouth disease.

Put A Fork In Me, I'm Done!

There is always a way to overcome real or imagined limitations. If man can fly; if we can float an aircraft carrier; what!! You mean you can float that much steel? Yeah, that's right: If so, then your limitations can kick bucket too.

4.Neil wanted to get organized. When we talked, I couldn’t see anywhere where he wasn’t organized. “What do you want to get organized about?” I asked. “I missed picking up my clothes at cleaners other day, he said. “That’s not like me.” Neil needed to work on his perfectionism. He had narrowed his life so much in order to accommodate his perfectionism that his life was relatively empty and always disappointing. The point of getting organized is to enhance your life, not vice versa.

5.Nucha began coaching by saying, “I hate this,” and “I know you can’t help me.” With such a pessimistic attitude, how could she succeed at anything? She needed to work on her emotional intelligence and learn a more optimistic attitude!

6.Emilil said she couldn’t prioritize. I told her to write down everything she did for next two weeks. When she returned, she’d figured it out! We are prioritizing all time, whether we’re conscious of it or not. Get conscious about it is beginning. If you want to see what your values are, look at your checkbook and see what you write check for. With awareness comes change, and a sense of control.

7.Candee wanted to get organized because she said she always forgot things and didn’t get things done. When I asked her “Like what?” she could only come up with a couple of things … failing to buy MacIntosh apples on last trip to grocery, not remembering her uncle’s birthday. I asked her to make a full list of things she was NOT doing. When faced with that assignment, she realized absurdity of it, and that perhaps she was worrying just for sake of worrying. She entered birthdays on Clock-Calendar, and found a new grocery-list system that worked.

8.Nancy said she had too much to do and I asked her to tell me. After talking for 10 minutes she said, “This is ridiculous. I can’t do all this.” Sometimes you need to hear yourself talk to see how things really are! She immediately took action. She got a low-maintenance hairstyle, found new homes for 3 of her 5 pets; shopped online and used gift bags instead going to mall and then wrapping; and she quit baking homemade bread, which no one in her family noticed for 3 weeks.

Whatever organizational state you’re in, get big picture organized first, and then go get tools. Work with a coach for quicker results.
