Wake Up - Your Life is Happening (Part 2)

Filed under: Life Of New Age — admin @ 7:56 pm

In Wake Up - Your Life is Happening, Part 1, we discussed four
methods to identify if you live your life in a state of
awareness or not. These methods were:

  • you have the ability to observe your life
  • you are in control of your life
  • you feel true compassion for others
  • and everyday is a choice to live a conscious
    life

In part 2, we address how YOU can
awaken your consciousness and awareness for your
life, in three steps.

Create self-awareness: There is one simple
and easy way to create self-awareness, talk to
yourself. That’s correct, be it aloud or an internal
dialogue, talk to yourself. By having an open and
inquisitive interchange with yourself you will discover
your strengths, individuality and character. Learning
who you are will automatically begin to create a
consciousness and curiosity for your life and how you
are living it.

Ask yourself: Who am I? How am I doing? How do I
feel today? How do I feel about having to go to
work? How do I feel about my emotions, state of
mind, how I act, and how I react? Why do I feel sad?
What makes me happy? What is bothering me right
now? Why is this bothering me? There is no end or
limit to what you can ask or how you can ask it.

Be an active participant: Who is in charge of
your life - you or someone else? Your life, your
choices, your responsibilities, your decisions, it’s all
yours. Be part of it, participate. Go ahead, take
action and make decisions in regards to your life.
What better way to wake up to your life then by
taking part of it.

Take ownership: Take internal and external
ownership of the great work you do, the good deeds
you perform, even your mistakes and wrong doings.
It takes courage, bravery and personal fortitude to
take credit for your accomplishments and especially
to acknowledge your mistakes. By doing this you will
initiate an understanding of your actions and
inactions. You will begin to realize why, when and
how you do the things you do which will spark
another level of awareness for your life.

Simple and straight forward wouldn’t you say? Don’t
complicate the process of getting to know yourself
and your life because it is indeed a very simple one.
Conscious living is an amazing and beautiful way to
live; the only reason it’s not natural for us to live
that way is because we get wrapped up in
everything that is external to us and who we are.
Choose to wake up and be you. Ask questions,
discover who you are and act. Choose life, your life.

Anything That’s Worth Doing, Is Worth Doing Poorly

Filed under: Life Of New Age — admin @ 11:27 am

Yes you got it. You read it correctly. We’re not out of our minds. We really are saying that “anything that’s worth doing is worth doing poorly”. When we found this quote by Joachim DePosada on the web site: The Gary Halbert Letter, it struck such a huge cord. It made such immediate sense to us. The more we looked the more we realised that our lives were built around this quote. What about yours?

Just take your mind back to when you started to learn to drive. That very first time, you pressed your foot down on the throttle. The engine screamed. You lifted your left foot off the clutch with such panache, and you hurled forward with such velocity, you would have beaten any kangaroo.

Can you drive now? Then we rest our case:

Anything that’s worth doing, is worth doing poorly.

Do you remember the first time you played tennis? Did you really get the serve right first time? Or did you carefully throw the ball in the air throw the racket and miss!!! What about now? Was it worth doing it poorly the first time around?

What happened the first time you strode up with your bucket of balls on the driving range? You put the ball down and swung perfectly and hit it for what 500 yards?????? Or, did you:

1. miss it completely,

2. follow through and fall over

3. take out a good portion of the matting or grass with the shot

4. hit it with such force it managed a few yards and stopped.

What is all this about?

Reminding yourself that;

Whenever you do something you haven’t done before.

Whenever, you make effort to break an old habit.

Whenever you are going to do something that is worth doing.

The odds are you are going to make a hash of it. Don’t give in. You are normal. Don’t listen to that critical voice inside your head that says, “It’s no good. I can’t do it. I will never, ever try again”.

Listen instead to the powerful, self confirming voice that says,
“It’s OK. Remember. Anything that’s worth doing, is worth doing poorly”
And laugh and keep going.

So, whether your aim is to give up smoking… diet….. stop drinking……..change your job, learn a language, build a business, whatever it is, accept that you are going to do it poorly at first. Then gradually with practice you will get better and better.

It takes effort to improve yourself. It takes effort to become the best sales person in town. It takes effort to build a successful business. It takes effort to lose weight. It takes effort to follow your dream.

But. If you want to improve yourself! ……..If you want to learn a new skill…….. There is only one way to start………..Overcome your need to be right first time and keep practicing.

So whatever you want to do. Whatever you dream of being! Whatever you see yourself doing in five years time. It all starts with making a fool of yourself now. So you might as well get on with it. Go on, go for your dream!

Remember:
Anything that’s worth doing, is worth doing poorly.

Good luck
