YOU ARE READY TO MOVE

You polished your walking shoes just yesterday

You are ready for action

You woke up with a new resolve

You will do this!

Ready for massive action!

And then

NOTHING HAPPENS

You are stuck at the gate

You have missed one crucial detail

The map to where you think you want to go.

Come to think of it,

Where exactly do you want to go?

Short answer

I DON’T REALLY KNOW

All you know is that you want to get away from this, whatever this is for you

The walking boots go back in the cupboard

LET’S FIRE UP NETFLIX

there is a series you still want to watch

Is there something familiar with this picture?

I know, been there

When you suffer a

LIFEQUAKE

YOUR MIND SHUTS DOWN

Self-preservation is the only thing your entire system can think of

The only thing is you can self-preserve until there is nothing left to preserve,

You Get My Meaning.

So, What Does One Do?

Where To?

How To?

I can hear you say,

OK SHOW ME

Demanding foot tapping on the floor (imagine the sound effects) tap tap tap. Leaning forward, tilted head, right eyebrow pulled up, tight lips, arms folded) Uh Huh?

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

Three things you need to take the steps to a new reality

1. You need a destination that makes sense to you. That is an excellent reason to want to do it. Such a good reason that your entire being wants to get going on it. Even your battered ego musty buy-in on this idea.

2. You must have enough supplies to get you to the destination. I am not talking about sandwiches, energy drinks, water bottle and water purifiers.

You can guess I have done this before with all the wrong equipment.

What you need:

A CLEAR VISION OF WHAT YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE WHEN YOU GET THERE.

You need to FEELING THE FEELING of reaching the destination

A HEART FULL OF FAITH. The heart works on faith, seeing the thing complete before it is in your hands/eyes/ears

DETERMINATION to do the right thing for you and

the COURAGE to take the first steps

Oh, Just staaaap! Just stop for a moment!

Are you serious?

“Faith, courage, vision, determination? You sound like you are sitting on Napoleons Hill. Fluffy white clouds and vision boards.”

I don’t want to win friends and influence people… oops, sorry, that is that Carnegie dude, isn’t it? OK, carry on.”

Thank you for the interruption lets carry on.

To recap so far.

NEED A CLEAR VISION

FEEL THE FEELING

HEART FULL OF FAITH

DETERMINATION

COURAGE

OK, I am with you.

So, what is number three?

3. You need someone with these boxes ticked.

i. Someone with a map

ii. Someone who has travelled the route and knows how to get there while not getting you lost

iii. Someone who lived it and not only survived but made it back to lead others

IV. SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES IN YOU MORE THAN YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF NOW

V. SOMEONE WHOSE FAITH YOU CAN BORROW FOR NOW LIKE TRAINING WHEELS UNTIL YOU CAN WALK WITH CONFIDENCE

Is that all?

Yes, pretty much.

But you will have to put on thicker socks and tie the laces. This is not a leisure outing to the fun park. Get ready for highs and lows.

Rest assured, I will be here to walk you home.

Ready?
