You may have heard of the \u2018dreamsquote\u2019 on the 7 Rules of Life where it suggests working through making peace with our past, not focusing on what others think of us, time heals everything, not comparing our life to others, not to think too much, we are in charge of our happiness, and lastly to smile.\u00a0The trouble with quotes such as these is that for most people \u2018getting\u2019 started is the problem, the intention is there but invariably the majority will procrastinate and make excuses for not getting things done in their lives.<\/p>\n
As the saying goes \u201cyou can\u2019t start the next chapter in your life if you keep re-reading the last one\u201d \u2013 so let\u2019s look at why you might do this.<\/p>\n
Perhaps you weren\u2019t satisfied with how the last chapter went, and so by re-reading it you perhaps think the ending will be different! Well, it won\u2019t, it will re-read just the same as before. This is often referred to as being stuck. Stuck in the mud, stuck in a rut. Either way, it\u2019s not being able to move on with your life for some reason.<\/p>\n
So, once you\u2019ve worked out what\u2019s stopping you, what you\u2019re avoiding, and what you are afraid of, you can focus on moving forward with your life.
\nWe can often follow the same principle of wanting to get fit. The intention is there, we make a New Year Resolution, or a goal and decide to join the gym. But what invariably happens is we don\u2019t use it and see the money coming out of our bank account monthly and beat ourselves up because we\u2019ve \u2018wasted\u2019 that money.<\/p>\n
Have you worked out what the gap is? GETTING STARTED.<\/p>\n
Just getting started is the hard bit, no matter what the goal or the intention is. So how do we get over this momentous hurdle? How do we climb this massive mountain?
\nWe MUST find out what\u2019s stopping us. And to do this we must really focus on our past procrastination or past unfulfilled goals to identify exactly where the common denominators are, and there will be.<\/p>\n
