Life’s Golden Ticket

/in , , /by

In Brendon Burchard’s inspirational novel, Life’s Golden Ticket, he talks about this particular character who’s life isn’t going too well.  His business is falling apart, his relationship with his Fiance, (who he loves deeply) is on it’s last leg, and he’s financially struggling.

I think it’s a fair assessment to say that in some aspect we can all relate to this character.  And because of this I would like to share the rest of this story with you.  (I will do my best to reenact.)
The Lion Tamer

So the story continues with this character going to an Amusement Park. While at the Park, he somehow gets thrown into a Lion Cage.  Now he’s obviously freaking out and doesn’t understand what’s happening.  He looks up and he sees a Lion Tamer perched up high on a red box.As he’s trying to make sense of it all he realizes the Lion Tamer is releasing Lions into the Cage.  Now he’s really, really, flipping out.  The Lions are getting closer and closer – they can smell his FEAR!

Now the Lions start swatting and pouncing on him.  He’s laying there in a fetal position trying to protect himself and he’s thinking, “This is it, this is the end of my life.” Then all of a sudden the Lions just stop.  They get off of him and start walking away.  He can’t believe it.Dazed and confused, he stands up, looks around and he sees the Lion Tamer again.  He thinks to himself, “I wonder what made him call the Lions off.”  As he turns his head to watch the last of the Lions walking away, he sees his Fiance at the other end of the cage.  He realizes the Lions left him to go and attack her!

At this point, something takes over and he musters up all the strength he has and runs towards the Lions and starts yelling at them, “Get Back, Get Back” as he’s pushing them back as hard as he can.  He can’t believe it.  He has no idea where this strength is coming from, but it’s working.

As the Lions are walking away he goes to get his Fiance, but he can’t find her.  She’s nowhere to be found.  Was she just a vision?  Dazed and confused once more, he again looks up to the Lion Tamer and the the Lion Tamer says:

“You Finally Found Something Worth Fighting For!”

The morale of the story is sometimes we need something worth fighting for to change the course of our life.  To make the difference for us. Especially when we may feel that our life is not going so well.

So the question for you Dear Friend is:

What’s worth fighting for in your life?

Sometimes when life feels out of balance and uncertain we need to be reminded that we all have something deep within that’s worth fighting for.  My coaching programs are designed to help you do just that.  To learn more, CLICK HERE.

Simple Success Coaching Program

“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” – Henry David Thoreau

Sometimes it takes a leap of faith to “put yourself out there” or “take the next step” or for that matter, “jump right in.”  But in order to be confident in ourselves, we need to be true to our vision, our dreams and then believe in them to move forward.  What are you doing today to make living the life you imagined real?

You Get To The Point Where…

“You get to the point where your demons, which are terrifying, get smaller and smaller and you get bigger and bigger.” – August Wilson

Do you ever get to the point where your clutter just seems so big?  Do you feel terrified, almost paralyzed when you think about “attacking” it?  The key to overcoming this fear of clutter is to take the first step, one at a time, with a laid out plan.  Once you begin to build up your resistance to the “powerless” feelings, you will see how the clutter begins to take on a new look.  It will get smaller and smaller and you will become bigger and bigger.

Music That Can Reveal Your Story…

/in , /by

Do you think music tells a story of your life?  I think we all relate to music in some form or fashion, and particular songs can reveal many things about a person…and if you listen, really listen, you can hear what someone is trying to say, or better yet, what you may be trying to tell yourself.   

I have found through music, my clients have been able to move forward and work through their challenges that may have been holding them back from obtaining an organized life.  It can be very cathartic to say the least.

To give you some insight into what my story is, I have listed below a sample of my favorites that I would like to share with you.  Would you like to share some of your songs?  I am listening and look forward to your story.

I Am Off To De-Stress…

What about you? 

What are you doing to decompress and rejuvenate yourself?  Sometimes, it may not be that we have too much work – it could simply be, we are just plain tired and we need to recharge ourselves. 

Me, personally, I am going to finally take my own advice and enjoy the benefits of being pampered with my honey. 

Here is a tip:  Plan your get-away for off peak times for extra peace and quiet – don’t be afraid to ask their booking schedules ahead of time, it’s rest you are seeking, not socialization. 

The jury is out, I suppose…I will give you my feedback in an article…in the meantime, do what you can to relax and find peace of mind.
