Feeling Stuck Waiting??? 3 Tips to Help Highly Motivated People During Times of Waiting

Are YOU an ambitious individual with large aspirations?

And are you highly driven to make those dreams come true?

However, it feels like there is still some External Force stopping you from reaching them …

And it is almost as if …

Life is telling you:

• To be patient
• To be still
• To wait

Well, you are in the right place, because on this edition of Weekly Upliftment, I am going to provide you with …

3 Tips to Help Highly Motivated People During Times of Waiting

I am reminded of a story of a farmer.

This farmer was so eager to have his crops grow that he went out to his field one day and started to pull them up with his hands.

In the process, he ended up killing his crops because the crops weren’t ready to be pulled yet and he pulled them out of the roots.

The same can be true with our dreams!!!

Sometimes, Life is telling us to take action, but …

Other times, Life is telling us to be still because …

Our dreams may not yet be ready for harvest.

And if we try to act to harshly on our dreams,

We can end up damaging them.

With that in mind, here are 3 tips to help you to be patient during these times of waiting.

1. Take Tiny Action Steps

Many motivated people like us have these GRAND VISIONS.

However, with these grand visions,

We can lose sight of tiny actions steps that we can take in the moment to lead to our grand visions.

• Rather than focusing on mastering an entire presentation, focus on creating an outline of the first page
• Rather than focusing on reading 50 books throughout the year, pick up a book that calls to you in the moment and read the first chapter

In most cases, there is always a step we can take to lead us to our grand visions.

And these tiny steps (however small and menial they appear),

Lead to our grand visions as they are compounded over time.

2. Take the Focus Off Yourself

Sometimes we do shift our focus from our grand vision and onto tiny action steps,

And we do take action on these steps,

But we are still met with RESISTANCE!!!

During times like these, it can be helpful:

• To take the focus off yourself and
• Onto how you can serve others around you

Often, when we focus on serving others,

Life has a funny way of …

Providing us the breakthroughs we were seeking all along and …

Puts us into contact with the people who hold THE KEY for us to receive our breakthroughs.

And, Finally …

3. Realize You Can’t Be Lazy

This realization was a huge epiphany for me.

As I reflect on my own life,

Sometimes Life was telling me that I needed:

• To be patient
• To be still
• To wait

Because it wasn’t time for my dreams to come true yet.

In many situations,

I was taking action because I didn’t want to be lazy.

I was taking action because I was uncomfortable being still.

However, when I finally surrendered and yielded to life and:

• I was patient
• I was still
• I did wait

I was filled with so much clarity and insight.

And when I was called to get back into action,

I was able to execute at a much higher level.

To Recap

Many Highly Motivated people like us have these grand visions and we can become uncomfortable when it feels like we need to wait.

Luckily, there are 3 tips that can help you during times of waiting.

Take Tiny Action Steps

Break your grand vision into tiny (tiny) steps …

And when you execute on them, over time they will lead to your grand vision.

Take the Focus Off Yourself

When you are still met with Resistance,

Focus on how you can serve those around you.

And Life will often provide you the breakthroughs you were seeking all along.

Realize You Can’t Be Lazy

Sometimes Life is simply asking you to wait.

And when you decide to surrender and yield to It,

You will be filled with more clarity and insight.

And when Life calls your number to take action again,

You can move with so much more energy and enthusiasm …

AND MAKE YOUR DREAMS BECOME REALITY.

I wish you well on your journey of being patient during times of waiting, and I look forward to seeing you next week.

Perhaps it feels like there is some MYSTERIOUS FORCE holding you back from being who you want to be???

Well, you are in the right place because on this edition of Weekly Upliftment, I am going to help you …

Develop Unshakable Self Trust

The philosopher Fyodor Dostoyevski once said,

“Above all, don’t lie to yourself”

When our thoughts and actions aren’t fully aligned,

Our psyches perceive that we are …

Lying to ourselves and …

We can’t be trusted.

This creates a lack of self trust.

And if we can’t trust ourselves,

Who can trust us???

Luckily, there are …

4 Steps to Develop Unshakable Self Trust

1. See

Visualize the person you want to be.

When you see this person, you prime your mind to become that person.

1. Feel

Feel the emotions of the person you want to be.

When you feel the emotions of this person, you prime your nervous system to become that person.

1. Write

Write specific action steps you will take to initiate the process of becoming that person.

This is like a contract, ensuring accountability with yourself.

1. Do

Execute on your action steps.

When you execute on what you tell yourself you will do,

Your psyche begins to perceive you can be trusted.

And self trust is what we are building today!

Now, I’ll provide you with a …

Master-Level Trick Most Experts Don’t Know to Develop Self Trust

The 70% Rule

Write out and decide to do …

When we take on 70% of what we believe we can handle,

We will be able to execute on what we tell ourselves and …

We have the freedom to add more or take away.

To Recap

When we lie to ourselves, our psyches believe we can’t be trusted. If we can’t trust ourselves, how can we expect others to trust us?

There are 4 simple steps to developing unshakable self trust:

1. See the person you want to be
2. Feel the emotions of that person
3. Write specific action steps that person takes
4. Execute on your actions

And, a master-level trick to ensure you execute is to take on 70% of what you believe you can handle.

Beyond Suffering: How to experience fulfillment without pain and suffering

Beyond Suffering: How to experience fulfillment without pain and suffering

Are you under the impression you need pain and suffering to experience the fulfillment you desire?

Perhaps in the past you have pushed yourself through rigorous gauntlets and …

Sometimes you have breakthroughs, but mostly you end up feeling:

• Worse
• Drained
• Tired

And you never end up experiencing the fulfillment you were seeking in the first place.

Luckily, there is another way,

A way you can experience fulfillment without pushing yourself through unnecessary pain and suffering.

Today, I am going to explain to you:

• 3 Reasons People Believe We Need Pain and Suffering for Fulfillment and
• An Alternative Approach Where You Can Still Experience Fulfillment Without All the Pain and Suffering

Pain and Suffering for Fulfillment

In today’s world, many people believe we need to endure pain and suffering as a rite of passage to receive fulfillment.

I am reminded of the scene in Happy Gilmore when Adam Sandler purposely stood in front of a pitching machine, getting pelted by baseballs, so he could toughen up for the next year’s hockey season.

In the same way, many of us put ourselves through unnecessary suffering for results we desire.

One reason we put ourselves through unnecessary pain and suffering is because:

We Believe We Need to Break Down So We Can Build Up

Many of us see ourselves like a muscle.

When you go to a gym and workout,

You are actually breaking down the muscle.

When you are done working out and you start to recover,

Your muscle grows back stronger.

This is one reason people feel we need pain and suffering.

However, we need to remember …

Our bodies and minds can only be broken down so much before they don’t have the capacity or time to build back up.

Many of us are breaking down our bodies and minds so much that we simply can’t build back up enough.

Forcing ourselves through less pain and suffering will allow us to fully build our bodies and minds so we can experience fulfillment rather than continuously degrading ourselves.

Another reason we put ourselves through unnecessary pain and suffering is because:

We See Pain as a Necessary Punishment for a Wrong Choice

A popular belief is:

If we perform an undesired action,

We should be punished so we won’t perform the action again in the future.

However, the opposite is also true.

When we perform a desired action,

We can reinforce the action so we “do” perform it again in the future.

And studies show …

Reinforcing a desired behavior is a greater indicator for long-term development than punishing a bad behavior.

When we are punished,

Our bodies and minds contract and shut down, but

When we are reinforced,

Our bodies and minds expand and evolve.

By reinforcing desired behaviors, we can have greater long-term development, expand and evolve, and …

Not put ourselves through unnecessary pain and suffering.

A final reason we put ourselves through unnecessary pain and suffering is because:

Many People We See as SUCCESSFUL Endured Times of Suffering and They Promote It

We hear “rags to riches” stories like the Slum Dog Millionaire or George Washington crossing the Delaware River.

We hear celebrities like Muhammad Ali say things like:

“Suffer now and spend the rest of your life like a champion.”

However,

Most of these people didn’t actively pursue suffering.

On the contrary,

Life provided them the challenges they needed when they needed it.

And …

Life provided them the solutions to their challenges when they needed it.

These people didn’t force suffering upon themselves,

And you don’t need to either.

Life will provide you what you need, when you need it …

To help you become the successful, fulfilled person you want to be.

Like I said,

There is another way you can experience fulfillment without unnecessary pain and suffering.

And that is …

To Do What Inspires You

• Listen to your heart
• Listen to your soul
• Do what you are passionate about

When you take action on that,

You are walking the Path you came here to walk.

To Recap

Many people put themselves through unnecessary pain and suffering because:

• They believe they need to break down to build up
• They believe pain is a necessary punishment for doing wrong
• They believe they need it since many successful people faced suffering times and promote it

However, we also learned:

• Our bodies and minds can only be broken down so much before they can’t fully build up
• Reinforcing a desired behavior allows our bodies and minds to expand and evolve and is a greater indicator for long-term development
• Many successful people didn’t actively pursue pain and suffering, but Life gave them the challenges and solutions they needed when they needed it

And …

You can still experience the fulfillment you desire without pushing yourself through all the unnecessary pain and suffering by …

Doing what inspires you!

I wish you well on your journey to pursuing what you are passionate about and I look forward to seeing you next week.

Inspiring YOU every step of your way,
