Faith and Beliefs

Faith and Beliefs move mountains. I always emphasis, all you have to do is to Believe. If you don't believe that an idea will work, then there is no chance you will act on it. And if you don't act on it, you won't see any results. Thought is the mother of action and your beliefs really do become your self fulfilling prophecies.

I hang around with people making changes for others. But first of all the others must be willing for the changes to begin with. Some ask, I want to change but I don't see it. Or there are some who wants to do it but have no idea how to get started. Let's use the metaphor on mountain climbing to help illustrate how to get started with change.

Define what the mountain top looks like. I suggest you articulate, in writing, what success looks like to you. Note what needs to make adjustment in your life for you to feel spectacularly successful and what will happen if you don't. Record your goals for all key areas of your life. Write out what you want your reality to appear as five years from now. List the values you want to stand for. Clarity precedes success and awareness precedes transformation.

Start Climbing. There's great power in starting. A single act done now sets forces into play. It generates momentum. And with the action you begin to experience results. That begins a feedback loop - more action, more results. And in turn promotes confidence.

Take small steps. You can't get to the top of Everest by jumping up the mountain. You get to the mountaintop by taking incremental steps. Step by step you get to the goal. Every step gets you closer to the dream. Life's like that too. Small steps each day get you to greatness over time. Days become weeks and weeks become months and months become years. You will get to the end of life anyway, so why not reach it as an extraordinary place.
