In the pursuit of the life you really want, the kind of work you would love to do every day, the money you would really love to earn, the people and relationships you would love to have in your life, there are many blocks.
Having worked with thousands of ambitious and successful individuals from all over the world – literally from Australia to the USA to Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, the UK and many more countries in-between, I have found these blocks to be mainly versions of the following – note these are my own personal experiences, not from some book or someone else’s philosophy:
Fear of the unknown: ‘Maybe the alternative is even worse/less safe’
Self-image issues – this incorporates self-value, imposter syndrome, lack of solid unconscious confidence in one’s own worthiness for great things
Negative states of mind – on a habitual and automated loop
Poor belief systems
Lack of mental discipline
A financial setting in their subconscious mind that they have long outgrown yet they don’t even realise it’s in there
Expectations that are too low
Goals that are too small
Having no framework to anchor into
A knowing-doing gap that has them letting themselves off the hook with justifications and guilt-relieving reasoning.
The thing is that these are so deeply rooted in the mind, that it doesn’t matter what you do to try to change them – the roots are too deep for them to be extracted, recalibrated, changed unless you have a process.
It is my own proven experience that your conscious mind, your intellectual thinking mind, creates merely 10% or less of your results.
So you see, it doesn’t matter what you ‘want’ – everyone ‘wants’ everything – riches, impact, happiness, a life of purpose; but the ‘wants’ are not in the part of your mind that creates your results.
So remember this key phrase: You don’t get what you want, you get what you are.
You’re focused on lack, limitation, a frustrating life?
You will get more lack, limitations, frustrating things happening in your life.
This isn’t some woo-woo theory – it’s how your brain works; you will be more aware of what your mind believes to be true.
What is the key one for you?
That my friend is where you start.
There is always a first step in every journey and every expert was once a beginner.
Amen.
