When it comes to thinking, many of us may believe that we are engaged in thinking when what we're really up to is what I refer to as 'casually considering'. As kids, we were often told to be 'realistic' and if we shared our dreams would hear comments like; 'as if', 'back to reality', 'you wish', 'that would be nice', 'can you imagine'... all of which went right into our little minds and made us believe that our goals and dreams were too lofty, not based in reality, whatever that is. What a shame. We've all heard the saying that a 'mind is a terrible thing to waste' well the good news is that you don't have to waste it- you can stop and redefine what it is you're doing, why you're doing it and asking if you're simply going through the motions? When did you define who you 'are'? Who did this for you? Who were your mentors growing up and who fed your mind? Was it empowering or disempowering? Were you made to push yourself or was everything made easy and you now find that you are fearful of failure? STUCK.... and too afraid to admit it because after all, that's who you ARE right?
If you are going to think- THINK BIG! GO FOR IT! Take the time to visualize what that would look and feel like and how it could reshape your entire life. It's never too late and the sky's the limit. Thinking (really thinking) is simple but not easy. Try to schedule a 'check-in' with yourself twice a day- even if it's for 10 minutes to start. Take this opportunity to get on point, clear your mind and to ask if what you are working on is taking you where YOU want to go!
