Waking Up

           Too often it seems as if we are asleep at the wheel when it comes to the programming of our minds. Most of the time we just let ourselves stay on whatever default program we are already operating with. If you’re operating the way you would like then there is really nothing to be concerned about as far as this goes. On the other hand if there are things that you would like to change about your life you must consider the programming that you have become comfortable with so far.

            What do you do each and every day? What are your behaviors consistent with? You see a lot of people believe their behavior is consistent with the life they are hoping to have until they take an honest look at what they are actually doing day in and day out. The goals you have set for your life are one hundred percent aligned to the things that you are doing. I did not say that the things you say that you “want” are aligned to what you are doing… I said your goals are. This means that what you do is the truth about what your goals really are.

            The truth is we have all wasted a lot of the time we have been given not working on the goals we want to work on. I mean that we discover that the goals we have been working are not the things we would have set down on paper were we given the opportunity. We have heard it a thousand times before… set big goals… and set smaller goals along the way. Have we done this? If the answer is yes then the behavior should match the goals you have set and you are already on track. If the answer is no… well then the goals we set can be discovered by simply looking ahead to where our present actions are going to take us. It really is that simple.

            The worst part about all of this is that we actually have the opportunity today to sit down and lay out all of our goals and the small steps that it will take to accomplish them. Question is will you take the opportunity this time or let it slip away again? Will this be the first time in your life that you take the responsibility necessary to change your own life rather than waiting in vain for the winds of change to sweep you up? Will this be the first time that you follow through and start taking the steps that you have planned for your life? Only time will tell.

            This has been a friendly reminder from your neighborhood Mindset Coach… wake up… your life is calling!
