'Balls to the Wall': Make the Process Your Goal and The Dream Will Follow

The power of our minds amazes me everyday.

Mental perceptions become a part of who we are regardless of being aware of them or not. They affect how we think, how we respond, and how we act.

They create our belief systems, our cultural mores, our philosophies and habits. And we carry suggestions over from our genetic heritage, from our culture, from our parents and other family members, from friends and enemies, and from what we have read, seen and experienced.

We carry suggestions from our environment and from all of the various institutions to which we are connected to directly or indirectly.

Many of us tend to overlook the importance of tapping into a deeper level of self perception.

I get it, it's not your everyday conversation to discuss the challenges we face each day. I am aware that you don't get to work on Monday and say "Good morning (insert co-worker name here), how did you handle your fear of judgement this weekend?"... I agree: AWKWARD!

But here's the truth, the more you avoid facing, discussing your challenges, the more you avoid reaching your full potential.

The truth is that those uncomfortable conversations, that purging of whatever it is you are struggling with, will only make room for abundance, growth and yes, success.

Get this: self improvement, self growth DOES NOT EQUAL self absorption.

Remember how this movement was created: "Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our greatest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, talented, fabulous?" Actually, who are you not to be?..."

Here are 6 tips to get you on the Self Improvement Path:

1. Keep a Schedule: It is a very good idea to write down what you have to do each day. As you complete them, check them off. However, don't feel like you are bound to your list.

2. Take a Break and have Fun: If you spend too much time in front of the computer, at your desk, or doing whatever it is that your occupation requires, you should take a break. Try to make better use of your non-work time to do something fun. It will refuel you and help you get what needs to get done with a more productive attitude.

3. Be Generous: Generosity comes back. This does not mean only giving money; you can be generous with your smile, your advice, and as many of us here have, find a way to help others in your community.

4. Accept the things you can’t Change: When something bad happens in our lives, we try to fix or change them. Sometimes we can’t. This sometimes leads us to spend hours moping and falling into depression. If you accept the things you cannot change – you will be a happier person. Acceptance allows us to find ways to deal with these situations much faster.

5. Break the Chain: If you have patterns in your life, take a risk, try breaking them and do something different every day. Not only do you broaden your experiences of life, you open up doors for the future.

6. Face the Fear: Several years ago, I started living with a 'Balls to the wall' kind of attitude; doing something every day that I didn’t want to do – or felt uncomfortable doing. I know it's different for everyone, but we all have small steps we can start to take towards facing our fears.

7. Live for the Now: Don't fall into the 'would'a, could'a, should'a pattern'. You know... that list of things you've been meaning to do...GO DO THEM.

"For me, the path to success was never attaining wealth or celebrity. It was about the process of continually seeking to be better, to challenge myself to pursue excellence on every level. The question I ask every day is the same as it's always been: How much farther can I stretch to reach my full potential? What I know for sure is that it's only when you make the process your goal that the dream can follow." Oprah

Don't wait for life to continue happen, grab it by the horns and live. Michelle and I have created this space so you will continue to find the tools, the motivation and the support you need to find and/or continue to live life with that drive that is in all of us.

Intro

"From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.”

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Michelle Cleary initiated an effort to cancel the 2012 NYC Marathon by creating a Facebook page dedicated to the cause … 36 hours and 52,000 + people later … it was.

She knew her initiative had to evolve. Much good could be done with the the help of the thousands of people who supported the page.

She teamed up with Vanessa Coppes, and the two flipped the page's focus. They saw something even more powerful surfacing from each individual connected to this movement.

Hurricane Sandy has taken many people to many places. It has allowed those affected directly and indirectly, to tap into the inner power that we all have to be more than we thought ourselves capable of.

Over the past 2 weeks, Let's Get NYC Back On Her Feet has become not only the hub of information for relief and recovery after Sandy's aftermath but it is a daily motivation that propels 40,000+ individuals to take action into their own hands.

The truth is, that power, that drive, that force... well, IT IS IN ALL OF US.

We are excited to experience the journey our actions will take us all on from this day forward.

"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our greatest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, talented, fabulous?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in all of us. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Marianne Williamson
