Where to start when you don't know where to start

Where do you begin when you are at your wits end and your results do not seem to be working with your beliefs and the things that you seem to be certain of?

This is a question that I am sure has been asked many times by many people since the beginning of time.

The answer to the question lies in clarity and focus. Clarity and certainty of the life and vision that you have for yourself combined with a dedicated focus on the actions required to achieve your desires no matter what the intermittent difficulties may be.

We need to realise and accept that our current lives reflect what we desire and where this statement appears not to be true that we take a moment to re-evaluate our thinking and beliefs.
In my experience we only achieve the lives that we have negotiated for through stating for certain what we believe to be true. . For e.g. business is tough and I’m not sure how were going to make it, I feel tired and fat, etc etc.

I believe that its time to be certain and remove the self doubt that stops us from living the lives that we truly desire. In order to live this life that we desire we have to spend time on discovering what we desire, are passionate about and intend doing with our lives.

Our current lives are only a reflection of our past certainties and no reflection of our future certainties at all. We have to carefully consider what we are thinking and believing daily as these thought will be manifested as certainties in our lives.

The action and behavioural part of our lives is very similar to an iceberg. The part that we experience daily is the top of the iceberg that we see with the larger bulk of the iceberg underwater representing the combined certainty of our thinking and beliefs. The underwater bulk of an iceberg represents at least double the volume of the above water portion.

We often think that if we change our behaviour and work harder with more action that we will change our results. This is the easy part. If we understand that actions translated into results are the last part of the equation then we begin to understand the importance of spending much more time on our thinking, beliefs and certainties in creating a vision of the life we truly desire.

I know that when we spend time on our desires, passions and intentions that our lives reflect them.

Have a great day

What do you see around you that is reflecting your desires, passions or intentions?

With most of the country experiencing a beautiful spring day we had a wonderful opportunity to see more smiles and a generally upbeat attitude all around us.

As the weather heats up Monday nights in the gyms are already getting way busier. Supplement sales are up and folks are back in the gyms, tightening those buns for fun in the sun this spring.

Mountain bike and other riders are out there earlier than ever with more and more runners on the roads enjoying new sunshine and warmer weather.

Everywhere one looks there are loads of really white legs in ever shorter skirts, floral dresses and funky dark glasses. Spring is here.

Most gardens are experiencing a proliferation of birds with the first swallows of summer starting to build their nests. Vegetable gardens are showing real promise and most lawnmower repairman have delivered all the machines that stood in their shops all winter.

How about you? Have you felt the first rays of spring warming you? Has your spirit been lifted by those warm rays on your face?

You can use this time of renewal and growth to take a fresh look at your desires, passions and intentions. Look around you and replace the things you don't like with that which you do.

Go for a walk or a run, call that friend you haven't spoken to, send your folks a thank you card, tell you partner that you love them, smile twice, laugh once, learn a joke , tell the joke, hug someone, give anyone an honest compliment and just take the time to celebrate the awesome gift of life that you have been given.

Have a great day
