Nothing is Impossible (Or, How I Grabbed You By Your Collar and Told You What’s What.)
There's one thing that really gets my blood boiling...
Today, as I sipped a cool glass of iced tea at a trendy Hollywood coffee shop,
I overheard a tatooed brunette (with her hip Tina Fey glasses) at the table next to me...
Talking on her cell...Complaining.
Giving the same BS excuses about why her life was so bad.
(You know what the ones.)
Just wanted to set something straight
[Get ready because here it comes.]
Every person goes through them…
Moments of doubt.
Moments of pain.
Moments of struggle..
Look, I don’t wake up every morning and always think I can conquer the world.
Some mornings, it takes me an hour just to get up the courage to believe in myself.
But I take that hour…every day.
Nothing truly worth achieving was ever easy.
Make a commitment to step into that uneasiness to get to the REAL you.
(Did the word ‘commitment’ give you a weird feeling? It does for a lot of people.
That means your commitment requires your attention.)
Within you is power like you’ve never imagined possible.
Inside you is a strong leader…waiting for even the slightest chance to lead.
(And outside is a group of people waiting for someone just like you to point the way.)
Embrace the things you don’t know.
Continue the battle in your head.
That daily struggle between…
"I can" and "I can’t"
"I will" and "I won’t."
"I am ready" and "I’m not ready yet."
Feeling stuck?
Do this: Find yourself a quiet space. Take out a sheet of paper and a pen.
(There is something magical that happens when it’s just you, a pen, a blank sheet and your own naked honesty)
Ponder this…
What thing that no longer serves Me will I give up TODAY in order to become the person I deserve to be?
Write them down.
Don’t judge it…just write. You know what those things are.
Take them seriously.
They are not your weaknesses…they are the places where your greatest accomplishments wait
Wage your own personal war to conquer those things.
Make the decision to win the war.
Did the word ‘decision’ weird you out?
It did?
Good.
Go in that direction.
They don’t call them ease-throughs. They call them BREAKthroughs.
Make the decision to win the war in your head.
I believe in your ability.
Prove me right.
Remember: Your great, great grandkids will be able to see everything you
did on the internet. Leave a trail for them to learn from.

WOW John
Where did a young man like you get such wisdom. You sound like you've been to Dale Carnegie training. We talked a lot at Dale Carnegie about having a substantial breakthrough. I think the message you just gave here is one more step, perhaps the final step, in having that breakthrough if people will heed and do the suggestions you just gave us. I certainly want to hear more from you. I hope you will join our group at Business.Life.Family because your philosophy is much the same as mine. Thank you so very much for this powerful message.
Thanks Judith
I really appreciate the kind words.
I've yet to attend a Carnegie training. They sound great. At one point...when I was in my early 20s...I worked at a place that rented books on tape. Listened to everything on their Self Help/Personal Growth, Spirituality and Relationship sections. Talk about immersion! :)
I will check out your group. :)
