Are You Trying Too Hard?
By Malcolm Harvey
We all know that any intended achievement requires effort, and at
times a great deal of sustained effort. There might be mountains
to climb and rapids to negotiate which without the strength of
conviction and the will to succeed would render many to fall by
the wayside. If you don't have a commitment to doing what is
required it is unlikely that the desired result will be obtained.
Yes it's a tough journey to undertake if you are looking to
change your life for the better, or at least we are told that it
is so!!
Say, for example, you had the vision of owning your own company
and working for yourself (the same principles can be applied
whatever your goal is), we are told to imagine all the long
hours, frustrations, hard negotiations, risk, etc that we would
have to endure. We might even think twice before even setting out
on such a venture given the statistics of failure that everyone
warns us about!
These guides and warnings that the corporate world would have us
believe are important to be aware of, however there is another
set of guidelines that most people miss.
These guidelines are seemingly a bit radical but if you examine
the true leaders in successful business and abundant living you
will find that they are adhered to in the majority of cases.
1. Identify precisely what it is that you are trying to achieve.
Discover your true passion and learn to live the life you want.
Go on, dare to believe that you can achieve your hearts desire.
The law of attraction will bring to you that thing that you think
about whether it's what you want or not. Be clear about your
goals and concentrate on the positive things otherwise you might
end up with the negatives that you keep thinking you don't want!
2. Get in touch with what you feel about the goal
Feel the emotion! If you live life with passion, the universe
will bring you the things you want faster, just remember that
some people passionately think about the bad things that could
happen. I don't need to tell you what they get!!!!
3. You always get what you expect
As you start to do the things that will bring you to your goal
(Yes, work is involved, you didn't seriously think that success
was going to be handed to you on a plate did you?!!), you will
find that doors will open that will guide you in the best
direction for you to go. Make sure that you maintain a positive
expectancy otherwise you may miss the turning and have to make an
unintended detour!!
4. Give service worthy of your market
Whatever you do in all of your undertakings, give value worthy of
devotion. In other words always strive to do more than your
customers/clients expect.
5. Step back occasionally
Regularly stop what you are doing and focus on something
completely different. Allow the universe to help you achieve your
goals. Learn to accept what the universe offers to you.
6. Trust in the process
Don't become a control freak, how do you know what's best for
you? Do the actions required to achieve the goal and then allow
things to happen. Start immediately and do whatever is necessary
when it becomes necessary. Sustainable action is the key.
Don't set time deadlines. This may be contrary to most current
schools of thought, but if you put an intention into motion you
are not necessary the best party to know what other factors have
to be moved before that intention becomes a reality. It is far
more effective to allow the universe to do its work in its
infinite understanding than to restrict it though impatience!
7. Be grateful for the experience
Maintain gratitude in your heart at all times, try saying thank
you for every event good or bad, and remember that the reality is
in the moment, everything else is your interpretation of that
reality.
