March 22 - This Week's Quote:

“The truth of the matter is that there’s nothing you can’t accomplish if: 1. You clearly decide what it is that you’re absolutely committed to achieving, 2. You’re willing to take massive action, 3. You notice what’s working or not, and 4. You continue to change your approach until you achieve what you want, using whatever life gives you along the way.” – Anthony Robbins

My dad used to always tell me, “You can do whatever you put your mind to.” And it’s true, once I finally “put my mind to it”.

The key though, is “putting your mind to it” or as Anthony Robbins says, “clearly deciding what IT is that you want” AND deciding that you’re absolutely committed to achieving it – no matter what.

There are two issues involved here.

First, do you know what it is you want? No, really. Have you taken the time to filter out all the “don’t wants” and all the things you think you “should” want, or that other people think you should want? Have you looked deep down inside? What is it that YOU want more than anything else?

Once you’ve honed in on that thing that makes you go “YES! THIS is what I really want, can you describe it in detail? Take some time to write it out. What are you doing? What does your typical day look like? How does it feel being or doing this? Take time everyday to visualize your self doing or being it.

The subconscious mind does not know the difference between an imagined event or an actual event. Whatever you think about – and most importantly, whatever you FEEL along with it – the subconscious mind goes out looking for ways to bring it to you.

Once you know what you want, can clearly see it in your mind and feel it in your heart, then there’s the question: are you absolutely committed to achieving this and to making it happen?

I’ve found that this is where most people fall short. I’ve seen it over and over with my clients and in my own life, you finally decide on a direction or something that you really, really want, then suddenly all these doubts, fears, and deserve-ability issues begin to surface. And they can sabotage your success even before you get started good.

So, it’s critically important to work through these issues as they arise. To me, part of Mr. Robbins 2nd step: “being willing to take massive action” includes being willing to do the work required to move through and release all the doubts and fears that come up – to let go of the limiting beliefs you’re carrying around – maybe you knew about them already and were trying to pretend they weren’t there, or maybe you’re just now discovering them. Either way, they can become stumbling blocks on your road to success if you don’t deal with them head on.

There are many techniques available to help you do this. One of my favorites is EFT – Emotional Freedom Technique. If you would like to know more about this simple, yet powerful technique, I invite you to send me an email (becky@spiritualcoachingcenter.com) and we’ll set up a complimentary 20-30 minute session and I’ll teach you the technique as we work through one of your issues.

Truth is, you CAN have anything you want – if you have a clear picture of what that is and you’re fully committed to making it happen, AND you’re willing to do the work necessary to achieve it.

Blessings!
