Have you ever had a dream, goal, or ambition that seems like it will always remain in the future, just slightly out of reach? Maybe you think you need more knowledge, more credentials, or more status before you can claim it as yours. Or perhaps you can clearly picture your dreams happening to someone else, but have an overly difficult time putting yourself in that same picture.
Does this sound like you?
If you can’t see yourself accomplishing your dreams and goals – living them, breathing them, and feeling them in the present moment, then they WILL always remain on the outer edge of your reality.
Why?
It’s simple. Envisioning success is directly linked to your belief that it will happen. You have to know without a shred of doubt that you have the ability to make it come true.
If this isn’t an easy task for you, don’t worry. You can reclaim your power to clearly see and ultimately achieve your goals by focusing your attention on the following areas:
1 :: Your Beliefs – In yourself, in the dream, and in the person you are today. When you think about your dream being fulfilled, what are the surrounding beliefs that surface? Do you think you have what it takes or are you harboring massive self-doubt and struggling with confidence underneath the surface? Do you sincerely believe in your goal or is it lacking in passion? Do you believe that you are missing something you need before you can achieve your goal, such as additional education, resources, or plans?
2 :: Your Fear – Related both to your brand and personally as an individual. Often the more our authentic self craves to fulfill a dream, the greater the resistance and more deeply seeded the surrounding fears are. Does the thought of accomplishing the goal bring up subconscious fears of not being good enough, not being validated, accepted, or not being truly seen? Do you these thoughts sabotage your brand because it is an extension of you?
3 :: Your Responsibility – To shine as brightly as you can. Are you secretly more afraid of succeeding then of failing or being rejected? Do you prefer to stay in never-ending planning mode, dreaming of grand visions and the future instead of taking action? Are you fearful of the power of your light, the leadership role it demands of you, and how it will change your life? What are you refusing to let go of, even though you know your time of expansion has arrived?
Taking an honest look behind the scenes can help you break through the resistance, bridge the gap, and see your vision with clarity that you can act on today!
