This is gonna hurt...

You’ve slipped…..and now you’re hanging there –holding tight to a tiny sapling growing out of the craggy rock.

It’s a long way down….and it seems like an even longer way up to where you want to be.

You’re afraid and you’re tired and you don’t want to be here….but here you are.

Now what?

And as you hang there -holding on and afraid to move, two rats show up -a black rat and a white rat -and the rats begin gnawing at the tiny sapling you cling to.  It seems that if you don’t make a decision -and soon -a decision will be made for you and it’s not going to be good.

In fact, you’re going to end up right back where you started -only in much, much worse shape than when you began.

What am I talking about?

It’s an analogy for your life -your health -your career -your choices.

If you’re discontent, unhappy, unhealthy, not where you want to be ….then I’m talking to you.

Life is a struggle -a climb.
It’s our nature to want to improve. We want a better life, more money, more free time, more alone time, better relationships, better health, a better golf swing, better arms, a skinny waist, better hair, whatever…

You are the climber in the story -clinging to whatever you hold dear: your habits, your addictions, your beliefs, your comfort-zone, your group of friends ….whatever it is that you’re afraid to let go of -whatever it is that you are afraid to change. And you know what?

You have to let go!
Because if you don’t let go….you will never move beyond where you are…and you’re not completely happy where you are….are you?

And the rats?

The rats are indecision: -choices.

Willard here is not your friend!

The rats are “This” and “That”

“I should try This.  But what if That would be better?”

“I heard that That works. But I think I’m going to start doing This!”

“This just doesn’t seem to work for me.”

“Oh, I could never do That!”

“I wonder if So and So ever does That?”

“This is the one for me!”

“That looks good. I think I’ll try That -but wait…what’s This?”

And there you hang…undecided and unsure -while the Rats make all the choices for you.

If left up to the Rats –you’re going to fall -and it’s not going to be pretty.

The Rats are going to decide, if you don’t take the initiative and do something for yourself.

So, what’s it going to be?

This?

That?

Some Other thing?

It’s time to decide.

What do YOU want out of life?

Let go! -And get moving!

The mountain isn’t going anywhere….Are you?

Let’s say a fancy new Volkswagen Beetle has caught your attention… (I don’t know why you like it -but hey, it’s your desire…not mine)

You saw one, you liked it and now you want one -Good for you!

Nice Ride!

But then have you noticed what happens next…?

What used to be a rare occurrence (spotting a VW Beetle) is now an overwhelming reality

…They are EVERYWHERE!

…But are they really?

Are there really THAT many more VW Beetles than there were BEFORE you became interested in them???

No, not really…

You stumbled upon something and that ‘something’  spurred an interest in you. You initiated what’s called the Reticular Activating System (RAS) in your brain and because your RAS has been engaged -you are now predisposed to notice whatever it is that your mind has now fixated upon -namely -crazy looking little cars with rounded corners and freakish features. -Now you see them everywhere!

We can use this very same brain functioning system to change our habits and our lives.

All we need do is focus upon that which we intensely desire….fixate upon it…and envision it as our reality.
Imagine living that life -the life that you desire

Forget your bad habits….in fact, forget them all together. They will do you no good here

Just let your Reticular Activating System (RAS) seek out and find everything you could ever possibly need to make your vision a reality!

I know it sounds absurd…..But I have seen this very same system succeed time after time ~in situation after situation….it really works!

Where I see most people fail, is sadly, within themselves.  Most people lack the self confidence to boldly stand up to their old habits and proclaim “No Thank You! – I choose not to participate in this any longer!”

This not a ‘one day fix’ -No not at all…

I don’t even expect my clients to make any notable, measurable progress for the first 4 weeks on this program (although most certainly do).

But the attitude adjustment that takes place in those 4 weeks….now that is priceless

So grab yourself some Attitude
-Make a substantial change….Decide what it is that you want to adjust in your life and fix your focus upon it…

We cannot achieve that which we do not believe….

Believe it!

Then achieve that which you believe….

To Your Good Health!

Did you envision this for your life -for your health?
Are you right where you wanted to be?

Did you see your future? Have you been confident and strong in your life decisions thus far?

Things are Looking Up? -Are you?

We create it, you know?
We create our future.

It’s strange -but it’s so true.

Our dreams are simply unrealized goals -our unrealized potential.

I have met so many successful people who are successful -simply because they want to be -simply because they believe they can do whatever it is that they want to do.

That is their only qualification -a steadfast belief in themselves.

They are not highly educated, not particularly gifted -didn’t get any ‘breaks’  -The only ‘breaks’ these people got were the honest advantages they created for themselves through hard work, determination and a burning desire to be who they believed themselves to be.

Looking back at our lives….we can clearly see that everything we have ever dreamed, has become realized -to one extent or another.  We are living everything that we ever thought or believed about ourselves in some capacity or another -are we not?

Think about it…..

Look back five years.
Are you now, where you believed you would be -five years into the future? -Are you close?

Did you even have a vision five years ago?

Did you not have a vision?

If not, then is it any wonder that you have bounced along in haphazard fashion until now find yourself in life situations that keep you off balance, unhappy, unhealthy and out of alignment?

You’re not supposed to be unhappy -unhealthy or out of balance.

Each one of us has the infinite potential to become more.

What will you become?

Focus your attention on that which you will become.

Erase the negative thoughts -ignore the negative feedback -refuse to accept anything but that which you desire.

Try this:
Take 10 minutes each and every day and visualize your future. Really focus and believe that the universe will conspire to propel you into your ultimate state of being. -Repeat this simple affirmation as your vision achieves realization in your mind.

“I am an instrument of infinite creation. Abundance flows to me -through me and beyond me into the infinite abundance of all creation. I am at one with all that I desire. I attract goodness and share all the goodness I attract with others.”

See your future in rich, glowing detail as you repeat this mantra to yourself.  Write down what it is that you will achieve by 2015.
Write it down and read it daily.

You are responsible for the creation of your life.

Take control of that wonderful responsibility -and enjoy the process of making all your unrealized potential -a glowing reality.

To your Best Life Ever!
