Have It Happen Anyway: Harnessing Your Power To Create In 2010– Part 6

We’re already near­ing mid-January, 2010.  Before you know it, the first month of the new decade will be in the his­tory books.  Are you on track with your inten­tions for this new year?  Or have you already “slipped”?  If so, time to pick your­self up, dust your­self off, and “get back on the horse”.   You get to have it hap­pen anyway!

Just because you may have got­ten off track doesn’t mean the game is over.  Don’t use it as an excuse to give up on your­self and your goals.  Here are some thoughts on how to make the most of your “detour” and get back to the main road.

1)  Con­sider the pos­si­bil­ity that falling off the horse (you lost sight of your vision, you caved in to self-doubt, etc.) is not a detour at all, but rather an oppor­tu­nity to revisit what you orig­i­nally intended and get clear about what you’re com­mit­ted to.

2)  Notice where you stopped.  Notice the point at which your com­mit­ment waned.  What was your inner con­ver­sa­tion?  What was the inner choir singing?  Take a moment and write down the inner dia­logue that per­suaded you to  give up on your goal.

3)  Where has this same con­ver­sa­tion stopped you before?  Recall other times when you’ve caved in to this same line of thinking.

4)  Ask your­self:  “Is this true?” Is this con­ver­sa­tion speak­ing an essen­tial truth, as in fac­tual, or is this the voice of your ego, attempt­ing to pre­serve the sta­tus quo and keep you “safe”?  Is this your his­tory speak­ing or are you clear, in this moment, that you are not capa­ble of cre­at­ing what you’ve declared?  Fact or fiction?

5)  Sep­a­rat­ing fact from fic­tion, see the choice before you.  Con­tinue to “buy” into your fic­tion­al­ize ver­sion and stay right where you are.  Or, acknowl­edge your fear and see it for what it is:  F.E.A.R. = False Evi­dence Appear­ing Real and choose again.

6)  Choos­ing again, where do you choose from?  Ego/Fear/Past or Higher Self/Possibility/Present?  Which choice will best serve to have you get back on track and move ahead?

7)  Choose and have it hap­pen anyway!

Turn down the vol­ume on the fear chan­nel.  Lit­er­ally, turn down the vol­ume.  Turn down the vol­ume on the cho­rus singing Lack and Lim­i­ta­tion. Sim­ply don’t engage with them.  They can play on qui­etly in the back­ground if they choose.  You just don’t need to tune in to them.  Turn up the vol­ume on the Hal­lelu­jah Cho­rus that reminds you, Yes, You Can!

Out here in the gap, on your jour­ney from “here” to “there”, you will have end­less oppor­tu­nity to re-commit to and fine tune your vision.  You’ll encounter every inner con­ver­sa­tion that still believes you can’t do this.  Every­thing in you that is invested in main­tain­ing the sta­tus quo will arise and ask to be dealt with.  That’s the way it is.

This is your chance to have a dif­fer­ent out­come than the one your his­tory dic­tates.  This is where you turn the cor­ner and leave your past behind.  This is where you strike out down a new road, clear­ing away all that may obscure and obstruct your way for­ward.  This is where you learn to stand in the fire of self doubt and burn away all that no longer serves you.

This is where you get to dig in and Have It Hap­pen Anyway.

Next time:  Hold­ing the space for success

Bless­ings on the path.….…
