 You are here. Which means you can ONLY be here. And ain't that grand?
It seems that so many people are rushing around to be someone else, be somewhere else or have something they don't.
As if "being" that thing or having that possession will end the want.
One of the biggest issues I encounter when I work with clients is their ability to work, live and produce in the here and now and sometimes people get so caught up in this "end point" that they get paralyzed in the moment.
But the truth of the matter is that you cannot get to where you want to go if you do not really know where you are. There is a reason why the "you are here" signs are marked in big bold stars or boxes on maps.
Directions to another location are irrelevant unless you know where you are.
The same is true in your own life. But somewhere along the way we were sold a bill of goods that right here and
right now are not enough. We want to be 10 steps ahead of the game. The problem is that you can only be here and unless you know where that is you'll be unable to see the opportunities in front of you.
When you jump ahead in your mind and in your desires you will lose focus, lose your way and the road will be harder and longer every time.
Imagine yourself standing at the bottom of long stairway. It's simply not possible to jump from the bottom to the top in one fell swoop. If I told you you had to do it, the feat would be so overwhelming you would give up and walk away.
And yet, people put that kind of pressure on themselves every day and wonder why they are not getting the results they want in their business, relationships, health, etc.
But, what happens when you focus on exactly where you are and put your attention on one thing you can do to get to the next step? You WILL reach that next step. Then something wonderful happens. The next step/action you should take is revealed to you. And, now in your current mindset you are able to receive that information and act on it.
It's just like the old saying: "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear".
When I ask people where they want to be they often tell me about a great big goal they have but there is often a feeling of overwhelm and doubt behind it.
Why? Because they don't know how to get there. They don't have all of the information they need to reach the top.
The gift here is that you don't need all of the information to get to the top. You just need to know how to get to the next step. So you simply put one foot on that step, dig in, lift yourself up and be open to whatever is in store for you. The information for the next step will be revealed once you are ready to receive it.
When you begin operating with this mindset life becomes effortless and you easily find joy and success in every moment of now. knowing here is exactly the only place you could be.
Dreams are a wonderful part of life and you should take time every day to dream. However, when unchecked by action they have the ability to overwhelm and paralyze. When you take each project or desire one step at a time your route will be faster and more effortless than you ever imagined.
