Why Coach – Page 4

Even though we celebrate January 1^st as the start of a new year, every day is the start of another year.

What if we lived every day of our year in absolute TRUTH?

You see, a person who is “diplomatic”
is NOT FREE.

Do ever feel the need to be diplomatic?
If so, are you stunting your spiritual growth and freedom?

FREEDOM begins with TRUTH.

“The high-minded man must care more for the truth
than for what people think.”
~~ Aristotle

Today I’m delving into the nuances of FREEDOM because while we may be born free, most people do not live in freedom.

We may consider ourselves honest in our dealings with others, the fact is we tend to avoid the TRUTH or soften it with diplomacy.

Note: Your TRUTH is always unique to you (see free 3 chapters of my book page 29)

If you can’t speak your truth, you’re not free.

This is a contentious issue and this article may need some contemplation.

This isn’t about right and wrong, merely allow these ideas to linger as a maybe.

Stay with me if you can.

Why do we avoid the TRUTH?

Because the truth, by itself, can seem cold and harsh.

Could it be diplomacy is just a socially acceptable way of hiding the truth?

Many societies glorify diplomacy. There was a time when our survival depended on our “diplomatic abilities” because being out of favour meant dire consequences such as being cast out of the tribe.

Rocking the boat was just too dangerous. In some societies this is still the case and if that’s your situation I suggest you proceed with caution.

This is no longer the case for many of us but the desire to fit in and be liked is recorded in our soul, it remains in our DNA and continues to push us around.

If fear of disapproval is a big one for you but you’d like to evolve beyond this planet, then it’s important you learn to master it.

Allow me to add this is not about assigning blame or being deliberately insensitive and arrogant; it is possible to be gentle while speaking the truth.

Our aim is to always treat others with love and respect, and never intentionally hurt people’s feelings.

We want to come from a place of LOVE and believe it or not this topic is all about LOVE. Loving yourself first and allowing that love to spill over to others.

LOVE and TRUTH are inextricably combined.

One can’t generalize of course, so there will be situations warranting a discussion, the key here is we generally explain ourselves way too much.

It’s time to live and speak your truth without fear of retribution.

If you believe you’ll be rejected or “cast out” for saying what you believe, then that’s your truth and you’ll live it.

If you believe you’re entitled to freedom then that’s your truth and you’ll be free.

As I often say, if we’re not speaking the truth then it surely must be a lie.

I, too, sometimes catch myself with the temptation to soften the truth. I insist on catching and correcting it because I so strongly believe we’re born free and ought to live free.

It starts with courage.

Do you have the courage to speak the truth so you can be FREE?

When you have the courage to liberate yourself through truth, you’re also giving others that gift.

Choose to step forward and lead the way.

3 Easy Steps to Create Anything You Want

1. Write a short story…

… as if telling a new friend about your life AS IT IS RIGHT NOW.
Write what you do each day, where you live, your financial situation, family, relationships, health and so on (be totally honest).

2. Now completely reverse the story.

Take each sentence and topic, TURN IT INTO WHAT YOU DO WANT and then enhance it. Use your power of imagination and IMAGEine yourself, picture yourself living this already.

3. Ask yourself, “Do I REALLY WANT this?”

If that’s a YES, great let’s keep going.
Now, I want you to ask yourself two questions.

i. “Am I ABLE to create this?”

The truth is, if you’re human, if you’re alive and breathing then YOU ARE ABLE.

There is NO LIMIT to who you are and what you can achieve NOR does it matter what happened in your past.
It only matters if you want this right now.

So right now say, “YES I AM ABLE”.

ii. Now ask yourself, “Am I WILLING?”

Am I willing to change?
Am I willing to take advice?
Am I willing to “fail”?
Am I willing to experience rejection?
Am I willing to do what it takes to have this?

If you can truly say, “YES, I AM WILLING” then you’ve already started creating your new results.

That may sound too simple but this is not complicated. Honestly, this is how I created the first and subsequent improvements in my life (explained in How to Get Anything You Want – Just Like That!).

I’m going to assume for this purpose you understand your thoughts create your reality. Keep that in mind and ask yourself what happens if you have no idea what you want?

How will you get what you want if you don’t even know what it is?

“The greatest story of all is Colonel Sanders.
He didn’t start until he was sixty-six on a freeway
bypass for his chicken shop. Anything is possible!”
~~ Robert Kiyosaki

What will happen if you keep focusing on what you DON’T want?

When you decide what you want and have a serious, burning desire to achieve it AND ARE WILLING to do what it takes… then you will have it AND your journey to get there will be the greatest fun you’ve ever had.

Whatever you FOCUS on, comes into being.

Once you’ve written your story and decided to have it, you’ve done something truly magical.

You’ve given yourself a BLUEPRINT of your FUTURE and a glimpse of your true potential. Often that’s all we need.Have fun… say YES to what you want and be WILLING to have it!

P.S. Henry Ford is one of my favourite inspirations. Look around next time you’re on the road. Henry Ford started it all and when he started manufacturing cars, he was it. For example, back then there were no companies manufacturing tyres, gearboxes, steering boxes etc. From start to finish, Ford did it all!
