There comes a day, for many of us, when we finally say…
Enough is enough….
It’s not an ending to your story….
It’s a turn, leading to a new beginning you may not have anticipated.
You’ve likely heard the story of the hound dog, howling on the porch. When the owner is asked about it, he simply replies -
“He’s lying on a nail.”
“Why doesn’t he get up and move?”
“I guess it just doesn’t hurt bad enough…..”
How about you? Are you laying on a nail?
Do you look around at your life and feel like there really should be more?
Do you really WANT more?
And, when does it hurt “bad enough” to get up; move; take action?
Sometimes, it’s an unexpected turn that creates unrest; a desire for more…
Sometimes, it’s just the dull pain becomes a little more intense and we reach that crossroads where we are ready for a change.
Our life is a story.
It’s the story of our own creation.
We often have the desire to look outside of ourselves for the reasons WHY we aren’t where we want to be.
I recently went to see “Rocketman”, the movie that is Elton John’s Story.
There are some great quotes and scenes in the movie.
You have to kill the person you were born to be in order to become the person you want to be….”
This made me think long and hard about what it means to create success in any aspect of your life.
To some extent, I feel that this is true.
I’m not sure we must “kill” who we were born to be, but there is no doubt that we must push ourselves hard.
Harder, most often, than we want to.
When you want the “story of your life” to be a success story, watch for, and navigate those “unexpected turns.”
There are no coincidences.
And, there are no missed opportunities.
Every choice we make is exactly right for where we are, and what we are ready for.
Be open to opportunity as it shows up.
Be poised and ready to push yourself.
Push yourself FAR.
FAR beyond your comfort zone.
That is where the magic happens.
There will be fears…
There will be insecurities…
There will be massive discomfort…
Resist the urge to sit away from it.
Embrace your time to grow into your greatness….
EXPECT the unexpected and create the TRUE story of your life.
Here’s to a GREAT week.
EXPECT Success!
