Living Your Own Life?

Blind Spots, Growth and Change, Inspiration

One of the books I’ve been reading includes a quote by the late Steve Jobs that I really like.

Steve once said:  Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.  Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.  Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.  And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.  They somehow already know what you truly want to become.  Everything else is secondary.

Take The Next Big StepIt is the rare person who continues to believe in their dream.  We find ourselves pushed, prodded and ridiculed until we conform to “normal”, until we act and react like everyone else around us.  Most people seem to lose, or choose to abandon, their ability to dream and imagine something better for their life by the age of fourteen.

Are You Feeling STUCK?

Blind Spots, Growth and Change, Inspiration, Life Events, Overwhelm

My Bold Prediction:  Unless you get a coach, you will stay stuck WAY too long.

If you’re working on the wrong problem, how effective and efficient can you be?

Without thinking about it we automatically approach a road block in our life the same way every time.  We don’t see the road block clearly.  A Blind Spot in our life is one form of road block that we don’t see clearly.

Often we blame the road block (or what we think the road block is) for our lack of progress and success…  If that blasted road block wasn’t  blocking our way, we would be … a millionaire by now … in a happy satisfying relationship by now … enjoying our work … getting things done … happy.

We think that removing the road block will bring us the results we want or need.  When this happens, and it happens to everyone, we need the right tools to recognize the problem accurately.  Once we successfully identify the real problem, we can take ownership of our part of the situation and create a new approach.  We turn the road block into a building block.

Road Blocks Become Building Blocks

When we have the right tools and techniques, those road blocks can quickly be recognized.  Once we recognize the road block, it is no longer hiding in plain sight.

At least 85% of the problem we normally have is accurately identifying the real problem that needs to be solved.  We can waste years of our life, working on the wrong problem, using the wrong tools, blaming the wrong person.  We make excuses to ourself and others about why we’re still stuck.

Why would we want to continue making excuses for ourself?  We know there are real solutions we can use to make quick progress now!
