I have a confession to make. I've allowed myself to be held back, because of my own fears. This week, as I came face-to-face with those fears of taking myself to MY next level, I thought of you. I thought of the men and women who are out there feeling stuck by their situation, stuck in a job they do not love, circumstances that are leaving them feeling drained and disconnected.
If we allow ourselves to be in this space too long, we develop a growing list that holds us back from taking the next step. I had the thought, "Who am I to let my fears stand in the way of being of GREATER service?" And so it was in that moment that I surrendered.
Gift yourself with a belief in YOU and what you want to see for yourself. The most genius minds and the most successful people around us had to, at one time, believe in themselves enough to take that step.
Here are a few ways that you can start demonstrating YOUR belief in yourself.
Take the next step by:
Making a PUBLIC statement to friends, family, and Social Media (tag Ignite Radiance), about your GOAL. Making it public helps you to hold YOURSELF accountable. We all need that. I repeat - WE ALL NEED THAT!
Making the investment. It may mean purchasing supplies you've been needing, new guitar strings, art supplies, or investing in partnering with someone who can support you to YOUR next level (a coach, business consultant, web designer, etc.). THIS may be one of the most challenging tasks, since MANY of us are limited by finances. This can lead into an entirely different list.
- Setting aside time to TAKE that next step. Set aside WEEKLY time to dedicate yourself to the goal you say you want. For YEARS I didn't think I had the time. I thought I was confined to my situation.
- Seeing yourself living that goal. Visualize it. Journal about it. What does life look like for you when you've accomplished this goal. See yourself accomplishing it. Visualization has been proven to be an successful strategy for improving a skill and reaching a goal.
- JUST DOING IT! You've set aside the time, now make it happen. Do not let other "tasks" get in the way. Otherwise, we'll always find an excuse to keep avoiding what we KNOW we want. In the process of avoiding it, we're keeping ourselves stuck.
- Get clear about the BIGGER picture. Be clear about how YOUR living this dream and accomplishing your goal is a service to others. Deep down, we all have a desire to share our gifts with others.
- Ask for a help. Ask for miracles. Ask for Divine guidance. Ask for support. Do not EVER think that you have to do this alone. YOU are not alone. Once you take the step, doors will open for you.
