You only get one chance at life, so why not make the best out of it?

Too often we hold ourselves back from being our best for any number of reasons:

• i’m not worthy – ie I don’t deserve it
• I’m not good enough
• I don’t have the resources – time or money
• I don’t know how?
• It’s too hard

and the list goes on.

If we operate from the premise that life is what you make of it, and you are the creator of your outcomes, isn’t it respondent on us to make the best of what we have, and be the best person we can be?

Big question!

The answer is undoubtedly yes. Quite often however, we are held back by some of the thoughts in the list above, but also by societal expectations. Some of these are tied to our local/regional/national expectations, some of them based on our religious beliefs, some of them cultural from our families. This last one shows up especially when one culture is moved to another country with different beliefs and expectations. Generally the older people maintain the culture of the old country and the kids take on the culture of the new country and often this is a case of two worlds colliding.

So if we go back to the premise that you are the creator of your life, why don’t we just sit down and plan out what we want and put it into action.

Again, beliefs, culture, etc get in the way for most people.

However, it is really about our own beliefs holding us back from doing what will move us towards those things you really want.
We all know people who are massive overachievers, and generally we admire what they have done, and look at them and go wouldn’t it be great to be like that?

Well you can be. It just takes belief, focus and a lot of resilience. Some of the resilience is to get past the non-believers (mostly ourselves), the rest of it is to get past the setbacks that we meet along the way. I don’t mean that it has to be hard, what I am talking about is going into the vast unknown for most of us. It is scary to get out of comfort zone. However, as the old saying goes, everything you want is outside your comfort zone.

Belief and focus are the key factors and I am finding this out in my golf game. (Love Golf). I know I can hit the ball well and I inconsistently play well. Largely it is about me trusting that I can hit the ball where I want and not overthink it. I am getting closer and the awareness I now have about my game is a whole level ahead of where it was.

So once you have a clear idea of what it is you want. BELIEVE IT IS POSSIBLE AND FOCUS ON GETTING IT.

Maintain your awareness about your thinking. Your mind will attempt to take you off course. Stay with it. Don’t let others distract you. Stay with it.

BELIEF, FOCUS and PERSISTENCE will see you through.
