My marriage was over. I had failed. I had no money.I had nothing. I attempted to take my own life.
This was literally the lowest point of my life.
How many of us feel as though we are at a low point? It may not be to the level of hopelessness and despair that I felt however…
…deep down you know that you deserve more / that you were created for more / that you can achieve more with your life, but have no idea where to start.
When life feels tough for us – no money, struggling with our relationships, our health or our mindset, hating our jobs, or simply feeling as though we are standing in the shadows of everything that we were created to be…
… we have to believe.
When we hit a low point, when we feel as though things cannot get any worse one of two things happen:
1) We wallow in self-pity – if we choose this option we focus on lack, we focus on “poor me”, we focus on “why do I deserve this?”.
The inevitable result of such a focus is that the situation doesn’t change.
2) We believe.
We believe in our potential.We believe that something can come from nothing
And then we take action on our belief and everything changes.
You see, in order to transform the situations that we are in…
The struggling business.The struggling relationship.The lack of finances.
We have to BELIEVE first.BELIEF is the conduit to taking ACTION.
When we believe in something so much, we figure the rest out to ensure that it becomes a reality.
Make sense?
The Wright Brothers had to BELIEVE that man could seemingly defy the laws of gravity and fly, in the air, in a machine that can weigh anywhere around 735,000 pounds as a maximum take-off weight (Boeing 747).
Once the Wright Brothers believed that it was possible, they then got to work on the how…
… trial and error… trial and error… trial and error.
You see, most people give up on their goal or their dream because they didn’t BELIEVE that it was possible in the first place…
… they thought “maybe” it’s possible and if the circumstances weigh the maybe in the favour of “not possible” then we quit, we give up.
So, back to the lowest point in my life.
I had no money.No job.I was living with my parents.I had nothing.
Except… I had everything.
I had the belief that I could achieve whatever it was that I wanted to achieve.
And with no money I conceived an idea in my mind, that I believed in.
I found a business partner and built a team.
With no money I…
Leased an Island.Encouraged a friend to create a website.Inspired 1000+ people to become “tribe members”.Convinced a production company to follow the story for 18 months and turn it into a 5 part prime time TV show.I appeared in 200 media outlets.We secured a 6-figure book deal.
How? Because I BELIEVED that it was possible, I inspired others to BELIEVE that is was possible and then together my team and I figured out a way to make it happen.Failure was not an option.
What do you BELIEVE for your life? What action are you going to take to ENSURE that your BELIEF becomes a reality?
