What to do when you say I just can’t

What if I just can’t seem to (fill in the blank)

Welcome back my friends!

I just can’t seem to…..

We all know what we want to do at some level.

We all know what we should do then why aren’t we doing it?

Is it because people are lazy?  No that is not the answer.

Is it because people are not intelligent? Nope!

What is it then Coach?

I am glad you asked that question because the answer is the key to succeeding rather than failing or worse yet settling for mediocre.

When you want something in life that is outside your comfort zone, one of three things will happen:

1. You take no action because either you do not believe you can or because of FEAR.
2. You take massive action and follow through and actually get what you want.
3. You start and then “everyday life” brings you back to mediocrity (the safe zone)

Of the three above which do you think is the most dangerous to your possibilities for success?

Number 3 is by far the most dangerous because it will keep you at status quo or average forever!

Number 1 is a close second but often time people who get caught up in number one have an epiphany and say no more and end up breaking through that FEAR because the pain of failure becomes too much!

So then number two is a guarantee of success, correct? Well, yes and no!

I say yes because massive action leads to movement towards your outcome but what if you still fail? If you still fail to hit your target but learned, grew and progressed in the process then you really didn’t fail rather didn’t hit the exact outcome. The cool thing is you now have wisdom for the next endeavor. 

So the next time you say I know I should but I just can’t seem to (xyz) ask yourself:

1. Why do I want to do or achieve this? Is your why compelling?
2. What exactly is it that I want? Is that compelling? Is it the item, outcome, goal or is it the feeling it will give you that you are after. In the money example, do you want pieces of green paper of the feeling of freedom?
3. What am I willing to commit to do and become? The flip side is what am I willing to give up or say no to that may be standing in your way.  It is not always something to do but sometimes something not to do!

As you may be thinking Coach, we have kind of covered this before in similar lessons. Glad you are paying attention!

There once was a pastor in a church, nice older man. Some of the Elders in the church noticed for the last 4 weeks he gave the EXACT same sermon each week! They were a little concerned that he may have the Alz setting in so they decided to pull him aside and have a word.

They said pastor did you realize that you have given a similar, well actually the exact same sermon four weeks in a row?

The very cool and wise pastor says, I am so glad you noticed that to which the asked him what was going on.

His reply was I will continue to give the same sermon until you start to apply it!

So yes I will always slip the success steps time and again to remind you to use the basics, they work!

On Wednesday we are going to cover “Yes you can”.  This is the ways to get unstuck!

I realize that there is no set it and forget it or overnight success formula. The one thing that must always be the start is the belief you can and we are going to unearth that on Wednesday so you can really spring in to action! 

My friends this is not always going to be an easy journey but I can’t stress enough that you get one life, this is not a rehearsal for the next go round!  Live you life today like it matters because it does and it is the only one you get! 

With that all said make sure to watch the video, take action today, get some coaching and step up to the life you desire and deserve!

Live with faith, energy, passion and always live your dreams!
