<\/p>\n
Achieving goals can feel elusive, <\/strong>particularly if they feel really personal to you. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n What would it feel like for you to complete this statement – It’s My Turn To…<\/em>?<\/strong> \u00a0You should feel great!\u00a0It should feel like it is aligned with what you truly want<\/strong>.\u00a0Your brain should feel like you are in a zone of positivity. Achieving goals<\/strong> that are meaningful to you can make you light up.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n First, seek to understand what keeps you from taking inspired action. What keeps you from achieving goals and the one thing that you should finally pursue?<\/strong> Do you have a lot of head trash<\/strong> that gets in the way? If you do, when will you say “enough is enough”<\/strong>? Isn’t this your day, your month, your year? Aren’t you tired of putting yourself last?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n You think you’re not treating yourself this way. You think you are doing everything you can to satisfy your most important needs and wants. Think again! Are you moving through life maybe not as boldly as you would like?<\/strong> Maybe you are showing up strongly in one area of your life, while the others are languishing<\/strong>. It’s hard to admit, I get it!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What if you could look in the mirror and be painfully honest with yourself<\/strong> and finish this statement, “It’s My Turn To…”?<\/strong>\u00a0Can you imagine what would come up for you? Would it surprise you or perhaps upset you? <\/strong>How would you stand on achieving goals that mean a lot to you?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Instead, imagine using your emotions to fuel your idea of achieving goals<\/strong> that would mean the most to you. If your pain isn’t great enough, you may not have a sense of urgency.<\/strong> You can always get to it “later”. A year or two, or five, or ten pass<\/strong> and you’ve had no movement toward what you really want. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Most of all, do you want to wait for your pain to become unbearable before you are willing to take action?<\/strong>\u00a0How about allowing your timing to help you accomplish what you truly want? Get it done\u00a0before the pain of not trying catches up with you.\u00a0<\/strong>Sit with that thought for a moment. If you could avoid the pain from not trying, wouldn’t that be fabulous?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n To be honest, it’s not easy for me to write about these topics either. I am shedding light on some of my own failures regarding achieving goals in the past.<\/strong> I waited far too long<\/strong> to go after what I wanted. Too scared<\/strong> to explore. The pain was far too great and lasted much longer than it had to. I’m pushing out of my comfort zone to illustrate how you can act much more quickly than I did. I don’t want you to suffer any longer than necessary.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Either you decide to carve out some time for yourself to start exploring or you don’t. But, wouldn’t it be fantastic to start identifying what you want to achieve?<\/strong>\u00a0Is it your career, your life, your relationships, or your next chapter? The best thing you can do for yourself is to have a plan for “your next thing”<\/strong>. “Your Next Thing” can be anything you want it to be<\/strong>. Think something grand or something simple. This is your choice, it can be your plan, and it can be the thing that feels the most natural for you to pursue.<\/span><\/p>\n What is your dream? Identify your “must do” – something just for you.<\/strong> So, when will it be “Your Turn”<\/strong>? Is that hard for you to accept? You are always able to put everyone else and their needs ahead of yours? At one point, I was operating by putting what I perceived to be everyone else’s needs ahead of my own. When I didn’t get the reaction I had anticipated, I then felt resentful.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n [Tweet “What is your dream? What is your “must do” – something just for you?”]<\/p>\n How ready are you to say “It’s My Turn To…”?<\/a><\/p>\n Since I feel the need to share my experience authentically, I had to examine the choices I made and the action I was taking<\/strong>. I was wasting a lot of energy with no return on that investment. It not only wasn’t bringing me further along personally, but I wasn’t enhancing anyone else’s happiness the way I thought. My feelings included\u00a0feeling empty and exhausted.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n What can I tell you about how to move forward? I think it’s all about you\u00a0creating an environment in which you can take inspired action<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span>There is a difference between simply taking action and taking inspired action. Taking action gives you momentum,<\/strong> but it doesn’t always lead you in the direction you want or need to go. However, when you take inspired action, you are taking action that is inspired by achieving what you truly want<\/strong>. You know that by taking that particular action you are moving closer to your dreams.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Actually, it’s not as easy as it sounds.<\/strong> You are used to moving forward and taking action in your daily life. Taking inspired action means you know what you want and how to move toward it.<\/strong>\u00a0Achieving goals can also make you feel scared and uncomfortable. Anything you do that helps you achieve change in your life can be scary<\/strong>. Acknowledge the fact that you will feel uncomfortable and use it to propel you forward.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n So, what can taking inspired action mean for you?<\/strong> When you move in that direction, you can feel:<\/span><\/p>\n Finally, what is necessary for you to create an environment that is conducive to making meaningful change?<\/strong> I happen to have six steps that I can share with you!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n So, how ready are you to be committed to your “It’s My Turn To…” statement?<\/strong> Create a combination of mindset, commitment, and vision for yourself<\/strong>.
