Have you ever come to a point in your life when you’re just tired and over it all? You’re tired of being broke, you’re tired of going to a job you hate, you’re tired of your business not growing, you’re tired of living in that toxic environment and you’re tired of seeing everyone else win but you.
I totally feel you! Instead of being mad at your circumstances, be thankful. Why? Because sometimes God will allow things to get to that painful point in order for you to make a decision to change. As my mentor so eloquently put it, “Pain births the desire for change.”
I had such an epiphany the other day. I’m working on a few, new goals to best serve you and of course, I’ve been meeting opposition. Well, I decided to win no matter what and get the job done as this is my assignment. I know I’ve been created to prosper in EVERYTHING!
So were you!
In order for you to make changes in your life, you have to make the decision and wholeheartedly believe that you will win. When you make the decision to win, you will attract the resources, relationships, favor, money and miracles that you’ll need to succeed. You have to make the decision to win, no matter what. You will go back to school, you will become a millionaire, you will get your dream job, you will lose that weight, you will get out of debt, you will buy that house or you will build that build that business.
How?
I learned from speaker, Tony Robbins that the first step is to raise your standards. What that means is to change your “shoulds” into “musts”. When you know you “should” do or change something then more than likely, you won’t. You know that you should stop smoking or you should save money or you should wake up earlier or you should start exercising but it’s not something that you believe you must do. When you change what you should do to what you must do then you raise the standard of what you will and will not accept in your life.
What “must” will you require of yourself?
If your landlord were to raise the rent by $100, you would find that extra $100 to make your rent payment because having the money to pay your rent is a must. Well it’s time to raise the “rent” or the standard in your life.
Think of the areas in your life where you need to go from “I should do this” to “I must do this.” I know it can be intimidating but this is where you have to change how you see yourself in order to produce desired change.
I heard Bill Winston put it like this. We all know that a lion is the king of the jungle, right? But if you think about it, a lion is not the biggest because an elephant is. Nor is the lion the fastest, a cheetah is. Nor does the lion have the toughest skin, but what makes the lion the ferocious predator that he is, is that the lion believes he is the strongest, toughest and the fastest.
In order for you to win, you have to see yourself as a winner. You have to believe that you’re who you desire to be, even if you don’t see it yet. You may have a desire to stop smoking but if you still see yourself as a smoker then even though you may quit for a while, you’ll eventually go back to it because you identify yourself as a smoker.
See yourself as wealthy, healthy, capable, smart or that entrepreneur, speaker, real estate agent, singer or doctor. Tap into your inner lion and remove the limitations from how you see yourself.
Don’t wait until a date on the calendar of a new year to create change and win. 2017 is not “your year” because every year is your year. Your life is not limited to only being blessed for a certain year, but every day that you wake up is another day to boldly and fabulously fulfill your life’s assignment.
