If I stopped eating I could reasonably expect to whither and die. Why then do I expect to thrive and grow if I do not take nourishing actions in other areas of my life?
We take thousands of actions everyday, but most are re-actions, not positive pro-actions. We react and respond to life and do all that is called of us with little conscious thought. As I reflect on my goals, targets, ambitions and dreams I recognise that unless I take positive actions every day towards achieving them, then they will not grow, they, like me, will whither and die for lack of nourishment.
I learnt in my high school physics class that there is a reaction to every action. Each time I take an action step, regardless of how small, it will move me towards the results that I desire. Why then can I get lost in all the other busy-ness of the day and forget to take the most important actions that move me in the directions of my dream life?
There are as many answers to this why question as there are particles in the air. The REAL question is what will I choose to do differently each day to ensure that I do take the actions that will move me towards the life of my dreams?
I know myself well enough to know that once I commit to something that has an impact on others I will stick to it. Just like the blog and the radio show, I do them consistently because I know that other people expect delivery. With this awareness I see that I don't always make my deliverables as important as those for others. I now have a choice - continue undervaluing myself or recognise that I am the centre of my universe and if I don't support myself with actions that move me towards my goals, ultimately I will whither and die just as if I stopped feeding myself on a physical level. The care and feeding of my spirit is just as important as that of my body suitcase.
Take a moment now to think about this in your life. Can you take at least one action everyday, no matter how small, to move in the direction of your dreams?
I know you can and I know that you deserve that dream life.
In Love
