At the time I am writing this, I am coming off one of the busiest months of my life. My schedule has been packed and I have had to very intentional about how I prioritize my calendar, utilize my time and execute on my goals. It's hard to believe that we are already in the fifth month of this year. It is so important that you live your life with intention and focus. Moreoever, it is important that you persevere and press into what is truly possible for your life. The difference between this year and last year will be defined by your determination to go after the life of your dreams. It is my hope that these insights will cause you to make adjustments to your life and to awaken to your greatest potential.
- You have to acknowledge that more is available to you. If you want to live a greater life, then you first have to acknowledge that a greater life is available to you. I talk to so many people that have settled for the status quo. They have bought into the lie that this is as good as life can be and that life cannot get any better. While I am not saying that you should not reach a place of contentment in your life, I am saying that it is impossible to get a glimpse of your potential and choose passivity and mediocrity. I want you to know that more is always available to you. Your acknowledgment that more is available makes you a magnet for what is truly possible for your life. In other words, when you raise your expectation you engineer the very circumstances that facilitate growth and change in your life. What you acknowledge you are ultimately accommodating in your world.
- You must adjust your mindset for more. As I am going after some huge goals in 2023, I found myself having to once again address my paradigm. While I was very excited about my vision and goals for the year, I realized that I still had some self-limiting beliefs and perceptions that were stifling my progress. Therefore, I had to adjust my paradigm so that I could truly access what is possible for my life. Every major move in your life will require an upgrade of your mindset. Old thinking will never unlock new seasons in your life. Your thoughts will determine the triumph or defeat of your life. As a result, you must spend twice as much time on your thinking than you do on your dream. Too many people expect to flourish with a faulty mindset. Take the time to examine what you think and how your thoughts are influencing the trajectory of your life. If you do not like the direction that your life is taking, then you need to change the way you are thinking. You cannot engineer a new reality without the renewing of your mind. You will only unlock more for your life when you decide to upgrade your mind. Adjusting your mindset means that you must uproot toxic thoughts and replace them with possibility thoughts. Adjusting your mindset is essentially planting the right thoughts and then watering those thoughts so that you can produce the right harvest in your life.
- You must be able to articulate what more looks like for your life. Over the years, I have heard so many people say that they know that it has to be more to life. However, when I start to probe them on this statement many of them become defensive. Why is that? We love to talk about more being possible for our lives. Unfortunately, most people cannot define what more looks like. Personally, when I say that more is possible you better believe that I have taken time to define what more is and what more will look like in my life. In other words, I have taken the time to clarify the framework for more. Do you want more money? More peace? More joy? More fulfillment? More meaningful relationships? More purposeful work? What do you want? As long as you are unclear about what you want, you will continue to attract confusion into your world. Many years ago, I discovered that you will never attract what you are unwilling to articulate. So you need to become skilled in the verbiage of your vision. Furthermore, you need to become proficient in communicating what is possible for your life. As you frame your thoughts and shape your words, you have the power to attract success and prosperity into your world. The lack of clarity is what is ultimately crippling your life.
- You must actively push for more in your life. It is one thing to aspire to a greater life. On the other hand, it is another thing to take action and pursue a greater life. If you want 2023 to be different for you, it will not be different because of motivational quotes or positive mantras. This year will be different for you when you start moving toward the life of your dreams. Many of you reading this have been sitting for long enough. You have been sitting and waiting for the right circumstances. Others have been sitting and waiting for the right opportunity. Then some are sitting and waiting for the right time. Have you not realized that circumstances will never be favorable and it will never be the right time? At some point, you must have the audacity to go after the life of your dreams. Stop procrastinating and start pushing for more in your life. Push yourself to move beyond what is convenient. Push beyond limitations and barriers. Push your way into limitless possibilities and breakthroughs. Pushing is not always easy. However, it is only when we push that we press into more for our lives. I want to challenge you to push beyond the status quo and push into new realms of success and prosperity. You are one push away from a new season in your life. Ultimately, you are one push away from manifesting the life that you desire. It's time to stop just allowing your dreams to live in your mind. Your dreams deserve to rule the moments of your life!
