A story and analogy
Do you make lots of noise when shit is going down?
I used to be guilty of this until I listened to a mentor who taught me to not react and share on social media when things were down and out.
At first I felt shut down and alone. Then I flipped my thinking and now am very grateful I took on board the lesson.
You see, what they said was
"When you overcome adversity and live to tell the tale, that is when others want to hear about it on social media, then it's 'good'. Keep your personal shit to yourself and your close inner circle of friends mate" ~ Pete Godfrey (recommend you join his free online group here for some seriously good marketing lessons)
and he was 100% right.
We often react out of emotion and an emotional response is most often a high emotion, low inteligence reaction. You're in pain of some sort and want to lash out or get attention on the problem. What you're better off doing is :
-
Acknowledge there is a problem (brings self awareness)
-
Accept the problem is here for you in this moment
-
Turn your focus to what you want (the solution)
You see, you cannot focus on the problem and see the solution at the same time.
Here is a little analogy by a spiritual leader Sadhguru shared by a fellow Infusionsoft collaegue on Facebook and a guy with a pretty slick LinkedIn training course - Matt.
I liked it so much I had to add it to this page.

It's been a while
Where did 2017 go?
A lesson: Finding Balance
It's been a while for me to find my groove.
As we draw near to the end of 2017,
I honestly do not recall much of the year,
Outside of the project I worked on...
I remember being out of my home
I remember being away from my children and not there for them when they needed me!
I remember the late nights or nights with 40 mins or no sleep at all.
I was called a machine - and that's what I'd become.
I was proud of it too
BALANCE? I think not, in heinsight!
My skill to hyperfocus while highly productive, is not something I should do.
When I hyperfocus, I run until the tank is beyond empty.
I lose the ability to 'balance' myself out as I sink deeper and deeper into task completion and 'people pleasing'
Thinking I'm doing great, life is wonderful...
Then - thump.
It ends and you lift up your head and here you are, wondering where the year went.
Perplexing...Was it a good year?
"hmmm yes, however it was not what I had planned, it was not my vision"
I was so focussed on others success,
It was all that mattered.
However,
It only mattered that much to ME
So, when your exhausted, drained, totally flat and just want to throw it all in.
Creativity time is required to refuel the tank
It may be sleep, quiet time, or a favourite hobby...
As long as it's creative and allowing you to connect into you again.
Pause the thinking mind and BE IN THE MOMENT
As each moment will soon pass to become unchangable 'past life memories'
My Year of 2017 - It was been such a whirlwind.
Much greatness created, yet... I don't want to do it again.
No thanks, not to such extent anyways.
I was head down and bum up and didn't see the year pass by.
I gave up the home office, midday swims, dropping the kids to school and picking them up again.
Being available to go pick them up when they were home sick and care for them...
I LOST THIS TIME and I can never get it back!
I joined peak hour traffic for more weeks than I would choose to do again.
Meanwhile...my fuel for entrepreneurship and success as a work from home Mumma was bubbling away, growing in inpatience...
It's my turn, why are you doing it for them! Why won't you do it for you?
Good questions right!
So, now in reflection - I look back over the years experiences and seek out the lessons,
-
what was good
-
what would I do different
What is exciting is, I have the ability and freedom to create my life as I choose.
Because of the past choices I have made.
So, it's time to reinvent how I deliver 'My One Thing' service for 2018.
I love the freedom to recreate to be a better version each year.
To suddenly see the creation needed, then it is time to implement.
This is where most get stuck, this is where I come alive.
I live in the space most don't like to be.
It can creep some right out and the face frowns as the understanding of 'the details' are so uninteresting...
I love the freedom and peace of mind I have knowing the technology, the systems, the automation of 'what you do everyday', to make your everyday a little bit easier.
Takes care of it all, I have put in the time and set it up, now push play and let it roll...
Tweak and repeat!
Thats peace of mind for me.
To know I have a robust system supporting my business needs.
To have the right connections who deliver quality over quantity.
Ultimately it's about HAVING WHAT YOU WANT NOW.
So what is stopping you?
