Inspiration for 2010 and beyond...I've been doing a lot of reading lately, as well as a few webinars. I don't know if anyone else is noticing, but we are in a more rapid phase of change than I've ever experienced in my lifetime. From technology, Facebook and other social media, changes to our financial frameworks, and a mindset to approach business and relationships differently than ever before. Here's what I believe.
Get on board or be left behind!
One of the strongest messages I've received most recently was dealing with self talk and fear issues. Though fear represents different things to different people, what it actually becomes is an obstacle. However we decide to deal with the obstacle determines our ability to obtain our goal. The insight I've gained is treating fear as an opportunity to grow. The lesson I heard stated, "treat the fear as a façade or a mirage, as that is truly what it is. Go into that fear and it disappears. The fear is in the mind used as, what ifs, to protect. This has really opened my mind and my abundant possibilities in life. Could it be I've been my own biggest obstacle? Perhaps!
But it is not too late to get on board!
As always, I would love for you to share your insights!
Fear is so powerful. Sometimes it's good, sometimes bad. For example fear is bad when it prevents you from making contact with someone that you could possible do business with. Fear is good when it keeps you from jumping off a bridge or committing to a mortgage you know damn well you can't afford.
What are you reading by the way? I seem to remember seeing that line before.
