What
Are You Waiting For?
By Dr. Robert
Anthony
Are You Putting
Off Your Dreams? Or have things slowed down recently? Is
your life visibly changing the way you want it to? Or are
you still stuck with the same
problems?
I woke up today
thinking about three people who contacted me this week
concerning the progress they were making reaching their
goals. They each said the same thing in a different
way.
Although they all
made good progress in the beginning, they are now all
stalled. It's very frustrating for me because I got
myself caught up in their dreams. I imagined how their
lives would be when they've completed the changes they
needed to make. I can easily see the benefits they will
gain such as a much larger income, more satisfying
relationships and the pride of knowing that they are
doing exactly what they always wanted to do – and earning
a great living from it.
It's also
frustrating for another reason. Although I can see the
finish line, they are standing still. The frustrating
part of all this is they have all the tools necessary to
succeed, but now they are stuck. So why have they
stopped?
I can't say I know
the answer for each of them. I'm sure there are many
reasons. But I suspect there is one cause in every case.
They have come to the point where they have done
everything they could comfortably do and now they have
arrived at a place where they've never been before. Any
new step forward, represents a step out of their comfort
zone.
If you want to
improve the results in your life, you have to accept the
fact that you can no longer do the same old things the
same old way.
Making a
commitment to change your life is a big step. It usually
occurs when something has happened to make you realize
that you are unhappy with some aspect of your life. Often
this event or circumstance will jolt you into deciding
that the time has finally come to change your current
situation.
The charge that
you get from deciding to change your situation will keep
you going through the early stages of your
transformation. For example, it can energize and motivate
you to read a book, take a course, and even go through
all the details of setting up a business. All those
preparatory activities are necessary and good – but they
amount to nothing unless you are able to get your dream
started. And getting your dream started -- actually
kicking your dream into action -- is new territory. New
means strange. And strange means
uncomfortable.
Having been
involved with a number of very effective training
programs over the years, I've been disappointed by how
many bright and ambitious students fail to finish their
training. And of those who finish, less ten percent turn
their hard-earned skills into substantial or measurable
results.
Then weeks or
months later they look at the courses or programs they
have taken and wonder, as I'm doing about these three
people now: "What happened?"
If you feel that
you were off to a good start but are currently stalled,
you need to admit to yourself that you have probably
slipped back into your comfort zone. More than likely you
have been deceiving yourself that you are making
progress, but at the same time you are really not getting
anywhere.
What you need to
do is take action. Even if it is a very small action.
Nothing you can tell yourself, nothing you can say to
others, nothing you can think or feel or imagine is going
to get you out of the mental bog you're mired in. The
only thing that can rescue you is – to take that next
step.
Maybe you know
what that is. If you know exactly what it is, DO IT! If
you don't know, or aren't sure, allow you intuition to
guide you. Do whatever you feel compelled to do, but do
it NOW to get yourself going again -- even if it means
entering your discomfort zone.
I said earlier, I
am disappointed by how many people start to change their
lives and then stall. Many of these people are good at
the initial study phase, but lose pace when it comes time
to make those next steps, transitioning from knowledge to
action.
On the other hand,
I'm thinking now about many people who have succeeded . .
. about the hundreds of unsolicited letters I receive
from people who have taken my “Secret of Deliberate
Creation” program and are now living the lives they
dreamed about. All they did was just FOLLOW THROUGH until
they got results. They just applied simple steps outlined
in the program and the changes were almost
magical.
