A Strategy That Leads To Victory

I find it interesting to peer into others' strategies on achieving life goals. It helps me to know and understand more of who they are. In watching others, I see myself- sometimes I see familiarities and other times I see contrasts. All I know is how I FEEL when I go after something.....

First, I always find myself stressing out and overthinking everything. I purposely, unconsciously at the time, look for all limitations that are keeping me from the goal at hand. Sometimes the (seeming) limitations are logical in nature, like money (usually lack thereof), details which seem to need resources that I, personally, dont have at the moment, or time (too much or usually too little).

Then, I dig deeper through my stress and find that the "real" (still seeming) limitations are internal in nature, like fear, not knowing what I REALLY want, uncomfortability with stepping outside my comfort zone, limiting beliefs (mine or others), or just overwhelm in not knowing where to begin the process. This is always the time that I sleep more, my energy is low, and my reality is colored in a dull stagnate way.

As my process evolves from external to internal, I realize that after doing the full round of covering all limiting possibilities, then I always remember that THIS IS LIFE! I smile as I remember that, "Oh yeah! My life is magical!! I always seem to find a way through the distractions and into my dreams- one goal at a time. So, why should this time be any different?"

At the onset of this revelation, the burden of (seeming) limitations begins to lift and I find myself navigating with vigor through one "obstacle" after another.

I must add that an essential step between overcoming (seeming) limitations and navigating with vigor is that somewhere along the way i decided to declare what i WANT. In an instant, I let go of what I dont have and I refuse to look at all the unknown "how's" that, in the end, I would rather have the universe figure out (because it is really good at that), and I embrace the amazing feeling of just knowing what i want! Instead of looking at obstacles as dead ends that keep me from getting somewhere, I begin to look at them as closed doors that turn me around into the direction of where I really want to be. In all of this inspiration, I can feel my core energizing and I always begin to wake up earlier in the mornings with my mind racing over all the possibilities! Its an exciting process really. And its a strategy that really works for me as I can feel even my body respond through the entire process. Its these signals that let me know when I am on-track.

In fact, no matter what YOUR strategy is when reaching your goals, I would bet that your body responds as well- every time. You have your own signals that let you know what YES! feels like and what NO! feels like. I implore you to begin to listen to your own signals- after all, they are yours! You have your own map and your own ways to navigate......in knowing your own ways of processing, perhaps it will successfully assist you (and possibily others) in achieving your goals and knowing more of who you are. So.......who are you?
