How to Get Free Support to Realize This Year’s Goals

Happy New Year! Have you started working on your goals for the year?

I certainly hope so.

You are definitely capable of accomplishing each and every one of them. It’s not unusual to feel stuck and not know what step to take as you start working on your goals. Being stuck happens to all of us from time to time.

I've felt stuck many times during my life. I've thought, how am I ever going to get through this!

Fortunately, I've also learned that I shouldn't be concerned about how something is going to happen, just trust that it will happen and keep moving forward toward my goal. I've also learned some valuable tools and strategies to help me get unstuck.

One of the quickest and surest ways to get unstuck is to get help and support.

This is how I've been able to accomplish all of my goals.  Once you make a decision to live up to your full potential and become successful, the next step is to get the help you need to make it a reality.

Last week, I mentioned my client, Bruce Wilberforce who has become an author.

Through our sessions Bruce learned to move through obstacles and reached his goal of completing his book. It's a tremendous benefit to work with a coach who can provide the tools, support and structure needed to help you achieve your dreams and goals.

You can receive support right now through my FREE monthly teleseminar. January 21 is my next faith dialogue where we discuss getting out of your comfort zone by taking specific action steps to realize our goals.

Are you around people who really understand what it is you're trying to do with your life? 

I'm sure there are times when you may want to share your dreams, goals and ideas with your friends and family. However, they may not have a clear idea of everything you're trying to accomplish and how important it is to you.

It's absolutely necessary to be in the company of people who will help and support you while they are striving to reach their dreams and goals as well.

If you are determined to accomplish your goals this year, let's make It Happen!

Are you ready to get moving and make sure that you achieve all your goals this year? You can achieve your goals and create the successful life you deserve! You have the potential inside for great success. Don't sleep on your potential to succeed.

Let's talk Solutions!

I spoke to someone recently who was complaining about a problem she was facing. This is someone I haven't talked to in quite a while. She talked for about a half hour when I realized, that she never mentioned any action she could or would take to overcome the problem. 

I know we all need to vent at times however, I heard the same problem from her several times before. We are so conditioned to speak more about our problems and the negative side of things. At times we may find ourselves telling everyone we encounter about our current problems.

We must realize that the more we talk and think about any problems and obstacles we are facing, the more likely they will stay around. Here are 3 simple action steps to take to help you move in a more positive direction toward creating solutions to your problems.

  1. Create a vision of what your solution will look like. You can create a vision in many ways -- through drawing, cutting out pictures or writing it out. For example if you are having a problem with your co-worker, write out a positive conversation that you could have with them. Read it daily until the problem is solved.
  2. Create daily affirmations regarding your solution. For example, let’s say you have writers block and a magazine publisher is expecting an article from you in a few days.  Affirm that “the words for my article will come to me easily, effortlessly and right on time.” Say it as many times as you want to throughout your day.
  3. Surrender. The spiritual principle of surrender is not about giving up. It is the act of letting go; the acknowledgement of the power of spiritual activity.  Practicing surrender will help you to stop worrying, complaining and agonizing over problems or situations. Pray, chant, mediate....surrender to your faith to let go of any thoughts or obstacles you believe are stopping you from getting your solution.
While it is important to know and state what your problems are, it is more important to talk about and focus on the solutions.

You are bigger than any problem that you may be facing and the solutions to your problems are not as far away as you think. You have the potential to create the solutions to your problems.

"Leaders think and talk about the solutions. Followers think and talk about the problems." -- Brian Tracy"

Problem Talk creates problems - Solution Talk creates solutions." -- Steven de Shazer

You Are Here to do Something Special



You are here to do something special. Yes, there will always be challenges in life. This is a fact! There are things we can't escape.  We all will get sick at some point, even if it just the common cold.  We all will get older and we all will come to the end of our life.  With that said, you were born for a reason.

You were born with the potential within to create a successful life for yourself and help others to do the same....just as you are.  Have you noticed that there are some public figures that you might be interested in while others are not? We all tend to gravitate toward different teachers, mentors, leaders, philosophies and religions, for different reasons. Similarly, there are people who are seeking value that only you can offer them.

There is a person or a group of people whose lives will be transformed for the better because of you.  You can change someone's life in a powerful way! You are a light for people who are in the dark! You are a shining successful example for those who are lost. You may be a diamond in the rough however, you are still a diamond. Take responsibility for your uniqueness and what you have to offer. No one else can fulfill your unique life calling.
 


You have the potential inside for great success! Please don't let your wonderful potential go to waste.  It’s time to realize your potential, make the choice to believe it, be grateful for it, take action by getting the help and support you need to unleash it!

What’s Stopping You from Your Goal?

How is it going with achieving your goals? If you haven't been able to complete at least one of your goals, what's stopping you?  Why haven't you made that big sale or started to write that book? What is it that's standing in the way of you keeping the commitment you made to yourself?

I believe we all want to be happy and successful. We certainly all have the potential to be.  One thing that stops most of us from living the life of our dreams is the simple notion that we can't. We seem to have many reasons why we can't do something instead of entertaining thoughts that we can. Often times we let obstacles stop us for our goals, even if they are small. There is a quote by Noman Vincent Peale that says “Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.”

I have so much on my plate, however, my determination to help as many people as I can to succeed, helps me to work through any obstacles that come my way.  So, in my experience, most of the time it’s not about whether we can or cannot do something, its whether we will or will not do it. 

You are definitely capable of achieving the goals you set for yourself. You have to make the decision that you really want to achieve your goals.  If you are determined to accomplish your goals no matter what, you will!  How strong is your determination to succeed?  On the path to your desired level of success, there will be challenges.  However, the strength of your determination will allow you to keep the vision of your success in your mind and help you to keep taking necessary action in order to succeed.

“When your determination changes, everything will begin to move in the direction you desire. The moment you resolve to be victorious, every nerve and fiber in your being will immediately orient itself toward your success. On the other hand, if you think, "This is never going to work out," then at that instant every cell in your being will be deflated and give up the fight. Then everything really will move in the direction of failure. ” – Daisaku Ikeda

“Whether you think you can, or think you can’t, you’re right.” – Henry Ford 

“Obstacles don’t have to stop you.  If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up.  Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” – Michael Jordan

“Sometimes, struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to go through our life without any obstacles, we would be crippled. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance, leave no room for regrets. ” – Unknown
