Why are you here? Yes, I ask that a lot!
For most of us, there is a yearning to be, to do and to have. The Creator beautifully engrafted us with these desires to compel us to purpose...to service. In a loose interpretation, de sire means "from the Father", so what you want in life was placed within you at birth!
Along with the desire and the gifts of service to achieve them, we were also made with emotions to create compelling reasons to pursue. Emotion is what drives us to action (or inaction through fear) - whether it is the avoidance of pain or the pursuit of pleasure. As you begin to think of your goals, what intense sensations do you feel?
For a moment, think of the car you want. How would it feel to drive it?
You have to visualize your success and emotionalize it to a level where it becomes not only compelling, but mandatory!
See yourself in that car...
Be seen in it. Shallow? Yes. Fun? Absolutely!
Go further - See yourself in the car with your spouse - happily married even! :)
Further - In great shape and healthy!
Even further - Going out to eat at a fine restaurant!
Even further still - Using a Platinum American Express - that you pay in full with ease each month!
Let's go all the way - From a successful week at work...in sales!
Feels good...right?
"Why" emotions are a powerful tool to combat all the convenient truths of why you won't/don't take action. You have to create a BIG version and vision of your life...one that uses as its core value the desire for higher meaning in life.
One that says, "I will enjoy my work and it rewards me with a complete and fulfilled life". BIG is not about whether you touch 100 people or 100,000...it is about the nature of that impact and rendering the "highest and best use" of the gifts and talents you were put on earth to share.
Share your gifts without fear or reservation...they will make room for you! Proverbs 18:16
Until tomorrow, I wish you Money, Power, Success!
