Give Yourself A Break. You Can’t Be On All The Time

Today’s Tip: Give Yourself A Break. You Can’t Always Be On.

Life is full of ups and downs, breaks and breakthroughs. The lines between battle and victory can become easily blurred when struggle lingers.

Give yourself a break. You can’t always be on. Being on all the time is exhausting. It’s emotional and mentally draining. Trying to hold up a positive posture all the time can lead to more stress.

When’s the last time you were just, well, you?

Take plenty of time just to be you. No goals. No ambitions. No pursuit. What if what you’re chasing is chasing you? You keep moving around so much trying to find what you’re looking for it can never catch up?

You don’t force a flower to bloom. You allow it to happen naturally. Same goes for you. Trust the process. Everything is working together for your good. You are coming into your own.

Destiny is a supernatural, spiritual, process of greatness unfolding from with in you. Allow it to happen. Don’t force it to happen.

Give yourself a break. You can’t always be on.

Get Your Fight On

Why you should never be ashamed to admit you are struggling

Admittance of a struggle isn’t admission of deficiency or surrender to the opposing force; it’s simply acknowledging that you are being opposed.

Acknowledging the opposition isn’t an admittance of defeat; it’s a declaration that you are fully aware the fight is on!

Victory is determined only by whoever is standing after the fight is over. And even if you’re not the one standing, it doesn’t mean you will never stand again.

Don’t be afraid of the fight. Don’t be ashamed to admit you are struggling; that you are in a battle. It’s the battle that toughens you for even greater victories ahead.

Someone who says they are not struggling with something is most likely burying their head in the sand. Avoiding your opposition doesn’t make it go away; defeating it does!!

Face your demons head on. Acknowledge your opposition for what it is; simply another battle that you WILL win in the end!

Whatever is opposing you hasn’t won unless you give up.

Suit up and show up.

It’s time to get your fight on!

Tuesday's Tip: "Get through the hard part before you decide it's not for you."

Tuesday's Tip: "Get through the hard part before you decide it's not for you."

Every goal is hard at first. Every new relationship has kinks to be worked out. Every dream has a gestation period. Everything is hard at first; but that doesn't mean it won't work.

Before you throw in the towel, make sure your towel is sopping sweaty, bloody, and ripped to shreds. Even then it may mean you've just got to go at it harder.

Get through the hard part before you decide it's not for you.

Don't Mistake Movement For Progress

Don’t Mistake Movement For Progress.

Today, take a look at where you are spending your time and energy. Just because you’re busy doesn’t mean you’re getting anything done.

Reprioritize.

Spend major energy on major tasks. Spend minor energy on minor tasks. At the end of the day, examine your results. Celebrate honest productivity. Learn from complacency.

Pay Attention To Avoidance.

Pay attention to avoidance.  Avoidance is often instruction incognito. The things we avoid, are usually the very things we need to pursue.

While we are away from our office all we can think about is getting that huge project done. The moment we are back at our desk, it seems we are consumed with doing everything but what that project requires us to do.

It’s easy to see it. It’s harder to do it.

Celebrate Authentic Accomplishment.

Make a list. Check it twice. Celebrate authentic accomplishment – the things you wanted to do, and did. Reward yourself only for authentic genuine effort that resulted in progress.

Keep It Real. Just because you're busy doesn't mean you're getting anything done.

Tweet It: Just because you’re busy, doesn’t mean you’re getting anything done.

How To Get From Here To Where You Want To Go

When we go through significant changes in our lives, we tend to look for something different; a different job, a different relationship, a different direction, a different voice to guide us from where we are to where we want to be. But closer examination of the road to ultimate fulfillment reveals that it’s the Same that leads to Different.

The same premonition, leading, prompting or voice that you first identified as your Truth (that’s why you have been following it your entire life) that led you here, is the same premonition, leading, prompting or voice that will lead you there.

Your Sacred Voice

It’s taken you all of your life to identify your sacred voice. You know, the voice that speaks to you in the midnight hour. That subtle premonition that sparked your seemingly absurd move from one coast to the other.

It’s taken you all of your life to identify your sacred voice, don’t bail on it now.

It would take you another lifetime, if not more, to develop the same trust and confidence in a new voice to now lead you to your next level of success and fulfillment.

You don’t have that much time left!!

Stop searching for a different voice. The Same that brought you here will lead you there. Same source. Different course.

Same Source. Different Course.

Your direction is different now, but the voice that’s leading you is still the same. For a season, and a reason, you were led here. Now that same source will lead you there.

There is the place you ultimately desire and know that you are destined to be. The Ultimate You. But how do you get there from here?

Review Your History

Take a look back over the last 3, 5, or even 10 years.

• What caused you to take the path you took to get here?
• What voice or leading did you follow?
• What did that voice sound like?
• When and where did you discover that voice?
• How did you come to rely on it and trust in it?
• Have you stopped listening?
• When and why did you stop listening to what’s been leading you your entire life?

When we are ready for significant change we become overwhelmingly compelled to dump everything and everybody we once knew so that we can be released into our new.

KEY: But if you don’t trust the same voice that led you up to this point, you could remain stuck here forever.

Here Is Not Your Final Destination

As easy as it would be to believe you’ve been listening to the wrong voice, especially if you don’t like where you are at, you must understand that you were led here because here is where you were supposed to arrive for the time being. But Here is not your final destination, but a stopover along the way.

KEY: If you bail on the process that led you here because you hate where you are, you will waste precious time and resources wandering in the wilderness once again searching for a different path, a different place, and a different voice to help you get there.

You don’t need different; same leads to different.

Key: Here is on the journey to there.

Rest. Regroup. & Reconnect.

You’ve been running the race and fighting the fight for a long time, but you are in the home stretch. Don’t allow desperation to veer you off course. Rest, regroup, and reconnect with your sacred voice; your life force, the inner leading that led you here. The same will lead you there.

Be Comforted In Knowing These Truths:

• That which began a good work in you will be carried out unto completion.
• There SHALL be a performance — a manifestation — of those things which you hold to be true about you!

When we go through significant changes in our lives, we tend to look for something different. But closer examination of the road to ultimate fulfillment reveals that it’s the Same that leads to Different.
