I read this incredible quote that puts everything together brilliantly …
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
~ Jaial ad-Din Muhammad Rumi – 1207-1273, Persian Poet
Since my goal is to live my dream and also make a difference to others, then this means that my focus has to be first on changing me and becoming the change that I want to be.
Pretty profound.
And pretty daunting …
Where do I start with all the changes that have to be made within me?
I’ve done an awful lot of research on this and I’ve done attended a lot of sessions live and online that go into exactly that.
Interested in what I’ve found?
First, you have to go deep inside and really figure out what it is that you want. What are your goals, your dreams, your hopes and desires for your future? Write them down and get really clear on exactly what they are.
Second, you need to focus on one main goal. Visualize it. Really see it. Feel it.
Third, you have to know your “Why” — what it is that is driving you toward your goal. Be very clear and definite about it. The stronger your Why – the more powerful your desire to attain your goal will be.
The fourth step is to begin working toward your goal.
As you work toward your goal, you will find the things that need to be changed and you will have opportunities to make the choices that will lead you to those changes.
If that all sounds very convoluted, it really isn’t.
It’s all based on the premise that what you focus on is what becomes your reality. When I’m focusing on my goals with total clarity and positive energy, and am very clear on why I want to achieve those goals, then I’m open to seeing opportunities I might not have noticed before. And I’m willing to make the choices necessary to achieve my goals.
Making a difference in myself will help me make a difference for others.
Following my dreams and achieving my goals will allow me to help others achieve their goals.
Not because I’m any better than anyone else. I’m not!
Only because I’ve found a way to reach my goals and as I make the journey, I can help others make the journey as well.
That is what I’d like to do for and with you.
Sharing my thoughts and my experiences with you on this blog is how I can begin to do this.
Working with you one on one in my coaching program is how it continues.
I want to share what I have learned with you. It will help you grow and help me live my dream of helping others. That way we’ll each be able to reach and live the Life Of Our Dreams.
Looking forward to reaching our goals together,
Lori
