Reason to Under Achieve No. 10 – Lack of vision and focus!
I won’t hit you with all the clichés here! You know the ones I mean. A ship without a sail, a house without foundations, an aeroplane without a pilot type clichés that are all used to tell you the same thing. You must know where you are going if you want to be clear on the fact that you get there!
Having a clear direction to go in, feeling the emotional high when life has purpose, being focused on your desires, these are all things that provide excitement, fulfilment, peace and happiness to life.
It doesn’t mean you then stay moving in this direction forever. Your direction will change as you grow and you will gain the strength to flow with it if you are willing to.
What is your vision? It could be a personal one for yourself and your life, or it could be a professional one for your business. What do you want to accomplish by the end of 2009? 2015? 2020? Do you know yet? If not, why not.
If you are hoping that you will get a magical answer that will instantly provide you with the answers you seek then I have some good news and some bad news!
The bad news is there is no magical answer!
The good news is, the best person to tell you what your life purpose is, is you! Yes, that’s right, not the book on how to do it (although it provides great guidance), but you.
Inside you is the answer you seek, all you need to do is begin to listen to it. And here’s some more good news. Your purpose isn’t something you work towards achieving; it is something that lives in your life every single day.
So where ever you are in life right now, that is your purpose, yes you heard me, no matter what emotional turmoil you are in right now you are living your purpose. You may not have connected with it fully, that is why there is turmoil, but it is alive and well within you.
It really is time for you to take back your power. Stop thinking the book will give it to you, stop thinking your Life Coach will give it to you, stop thinking the seminar leader will give it to you. They are just tools, facilitators, catalysts that are there to help you bring it out of yourself.
If you believe “You don’t know” your vision can I invite you to stop lying to yourself. Yes you do. You always have. You may not know how to bring it out of yourself, or articulate it, now that’s something different. But you know what it is.
Are you using “I don’t know” as a way to stay stuck? To ensure you never have to work towards achieving anything, but that you have a great excuse and reason why not?
The question here is “Am I ready to connect to my vision?”
Focus is the other area that women struggle with. We move from one thing to another, thinking that the thing we are working on “is it” only to discover years later that you are unfulfilled again.
When you have found what you love to do, when you have connected with what you are passionate about, every action you need to take is easy. It’s easy, its fun and you love it. You wouldn’t want to do anything else.
But hey, relax, remember this is a journey, and the journey would be far too easy if we all just hit upon what we love instantly. The important thing is you are doing something about being unhappy. You are, aren’t you?
