You wish that you could do something over, take back
an action, or exchange an utterance? The bad news is that you can’t
– what’s done is done. The good news is that it’s
already in the past and this is the first moment of the rest of
your life. Since you can’t change the past, what does your
future hold? It’s up to you to choose.
As a society we are often stuck in a rut. Not satisfied with our
past and our present, but reluctant to step up to the plate and
make the future what we desire. Too often this occurs because we
don’t realize that we created the path we are on consciously
or unconsciously. But nothing is written in stone. Change begins
first with a thought, followed by a choice, which becomes an action.
Jenny was very depressed. It seemed that no matter how hard she
tried she couldn’t get her business off the ground and her
bills were mounting to epic proportions. She knew that if she couldn’t
turn things around relatively quickly, that she would soon be facing
bankruptcy. Knowing that things were out of hand she asked her best
friend to lunch for some advice. Over lunch, Danni listened attentively
as Jenny got her up to speed. When Jenny was done, Danni took a
deep breath and said, “So, what are you choosing to do about
it?” Jenny stopped chewing and thought about how Danni had
phrased the question and asked her what she meant. Danni proceeded
to explain to Jenny in detail, just how much control she had over
her situation. First, she asked Jenny to describe her thoughts about
her business and her finances. Jenny told Danni that having her
own business had always been a dream of hers, but that she never
had enough funds coming in, her client list was pitifully short,
and she was rapidly losing hope. Once Danni understood Jenny’s
feelings she asked her to describe her ideal situation. As she watched,
Jenny’s face became animated, her voice became passionate,
and her eyes lit up as she described oodles of serious fun clients,
fulfilling projects, and an abundance of funds. When she stopped
speaking, Danni asked Jenny to focus on her “success vision”,
to choose and embrace it as her reality, to think about it at least
three times each day in great deal and to let go of the thoughts
that had landed her in her situation. Lastly, Danni suggested that
Jenny monitor her progress each day by acknowledging the changes
in her circumstances with some form of appreciation. When Jenny
did not respond Danni gave her examples of things to appreciate,
like a new client, a potential referral, free advertising. Jenny
decided that she had nothing to lose, so she decided to give it
a try.
About three months later Jenny called Danni and asked her to come
over for dinner. When Danni arrived she found a beautiful table
set, with a cake that had two words on it - Thank You. Jenny explained
that she had spent the past three months showing appreciation for
everyone and everything that showed up, but Danni deserved something
extra special for helping her turn her life around. Jenny
told Danni that her business seemed to take off within two weeks
of their conversation. She had new clients, changed her marketing
materials, and had even been approved for a loan that she had forgotten
that she applied for. Jenny’s business was becoming successful,
and she was positive that it was because she stopped playing the
martyr and decided to choose to be successful.
Are there things in your life that you would like to release? Or
things that you would like to see materialize? Are you ready to
make the choice to BE what you want? I’d like you to close
your eyes and visualize your dream life. If it’s different
from the life you have, then you have a choice to make. Simply,
becoming aware of the thoughts that you hold and changing them to
appreciation will have a profound affect on your life. Don’t
worry about what has already happened, remember, this is the first
moment of the rest of your life.
