If you brought all the things in the back of your mind, to the front, what would you do? All the fleeting thoughts, the ideas, your passions, which would you choose? What are your obstacles, are you the obstacle? Are the roadblocks and slamming doors, ones that you have created? We really do get in our own way. It is easy to say I can’t a thousand times, reasons why you can’t are easy.
Most of the time, it is about the effort. Things we really want, we do. An automatic yes and then figure it out. The stress and sweat to figure it out, is secondary. The things we really want to do, that involve more than yourself, that can impact others or alters you life’s path, you use them as your obstacles. They absolutely are your obstacles, you might make others unhappy, it may require numerous conversations, negotiations and communication. You make the scenarios in your head overlooking the chance that the outcome could be in your favour. It requires effort, it causes emotional discomfort, then you give up before you even try.
Vision boards are a popular tool. For some seeing what the end of that tunnel looks like, eye on the prize and weeding out the negative is useful. I think it helps with the conversation starters for those around you. It wasn’t just a fleeting thought, it is something that plays on your mind often. When I dig something out of the back of my mind, before I breath air into it, I like to make up my mind. My mind, the if I could mind, remove everything, dust of the thought and decide for me, if I could, would I? Take a selfish second, would I?
It’s okay to fail, but it is more important to try. Say it out loud. Maybe you can’t, but if you could..
