Awakening22

In reading Bruce Lipton’s book Biology of Belief I have really started thinking about the beliefs I have about myself and where they came from. Who taught me that strangers were bad and does that old belief still work now that I’m not a child. How can strangers help me along my path?

Strangers were once deemed evil but now I’m encouraging them to read my blogs and contact me, hoping they’ll call to have a healing or utilize my skills and experience for mentoring. So how does that work? Can both be true beliefs or neither?

According to Bruce Lipton our beliefs are truly just our perceptions handed down to us by others. It’s time to start thinking for ourselves. Live our own lives and make decisions based on our own values rather than living in the shadows of our past.

I encourage you today to try to do one thing that you previously believed to be ‘wrong’ and see what happens. Start up a chat with a stranger, buy something you think is ugly and wear it with pride, let your child throw his spaghetti on the wall and laugh it off!

Live your own life by your own rules and begin to love yourself for who you are at heart.

How often do we hold ourselves back from achieving what we’re really capable of out of fear of failure? In life there are always opportunities surrounding us, things we’d love to do, people we’d love to meet, experiences we’d love to have. And yet somehow they seem so elusive and unattainable.

There are ways to evolve past this fictitious notion of blockages so that we can start moving forward and living our life more authentically. The first thing to do is to analyse how you are holding yourself back. Have a look at the things you’ve wanted:

· Did you do all that you could to achieve that goal?

· Did you stop short just before the mission was complete?

· Did you let others get in the way of making it happen?

Subconsciously we are often our worst enemies. Although we say we want something, the reality is we’re afraid of the consequences of the achievement of those dreams. We cannot hide under our excuses when we’ve proven to the world we are capable of living our ideal life.

Here are some simple ways at starting to live the life you dream, and overcome your hurdles:

· See your vision clearly, and how it relates to your highest values

· Plan for success, write down the steps necessary to achieve the goal

· Network to find the tools and resources you need, especially in areas you are weak in

· Take action on your plan every day

· Revise along the way to stay true to the initial vision

Every day is a new opportunity to learn and grow, to start fresh and take new directions. No one said that you can’t choose to live a life you’d love. In fact, the ones we tend to look up to in life, always say you can.
