When we never find the right moment...

There are times in our life that we know what we want to achieve, what we want to become.
Some of these times, we even know what to do.
And yet we find ourselves letting time pass by, as if we were going to live forever.

What prevent us from taking action?
What consequences does it have for us to let time pass by without moving towards our goals?

We can always find the right answer to the first question, an answer that suit us to avoid taking action.  There are as many excuses as people in the world, so there will probably be one convenient for you as well.
In my case, the answer is usually FEAR.  Fear to be wrong in my choice of goals (lack of clarity), fear not to be corageous enough to go along the path that, I believe, would take me to my goal, fear not to be good enough to get where I want...

Now, the second question, that is really a powerful one.  If I don't take action, I never get my goal.  As Einstein said, "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".
Can I live with that?

If the answer is yes, it was never something that I really wanted to be or get.  It was only something I would like to be or get without effort... like a dream.
If the answer is no, then it really matters to me to achieve this goal.  Why is it so important? What if I don't get it? What would I lose if I don't get it? Who would I become if I get it?
This gives me the clarity and the motivation to move towards my goals and take action continuously!

What happens if this is not enough?  If I find the motivation, and still I am frozen with my fear, how can I overcome it?  Let me tell you a secret... fear, to me is a good thing.  It means that I am feeling uncomfortable in my way to my goal, which means that the possibilities to grow and expand my personal power are as large as the fear I have.  Now, how to change fear into excitement?
Change your focus, dream about what you are about to become, see it as if it were already true.  Taste it.  Hear the things you will hear when you get there.  Use your imagination to feel the state you want to create into your reality.  It feels great, doesn't it?

Intensify your emotions, be really in this state, and take action from this state.  You are now a kid ready to get its birthday present, ready to open it.  You know it is ready for you.  You deserve it.  It is just a matter of some hours, or a little more time that you get it.  Take action from this state, the fear is gone, you are full of excitement, and your vision of your goal is travelling to your reality at full speed!

Goals from your soul

Many times we start writting a goal list.  And many times we don't follow through what it takes to achive them.
If we just dedicate a little less time to goal setting, and a bit more to feel what the goals really really REALLY mean for us, we will end up taking more action, getting momentum and achieving only those that are meaningful for us.


A friend of mine says "a human being always achieves what he/she wants.  If he/she doesn't achieve it, it means that he/she doesn't really want it".  I find this straight statement true in its core.
I invite you to take a moment to answer these questions from you heart:

What do you really want in your life now?


Why is it soooooo important for you to get it?


How would be your life if you get it?


How do you feel right now?


What are you ready to do in order to get what you want?


Which steps could you easily start with to move towards your goal right now?


Envision your life as if it were already true, take action, and start moving, full of clarity and energy, towards your goal.  It will be yours earlier than you thought!

Stand up! Go for it!

I have the fortune to share my life with my wonderful daughter.  When she started to walk, I saw that she kept falling down, once and again.  After some days, she managed to walk on her own and smiled proud to be able to run and hug me.
Many times in our life we start doing something new, and it doesn't work quite as we wanted.  Sometimes we feel frustrated.  We expected things to go smoothly from the beginning, and achive what we want immediately. If you are feeling like that right now, I want you to join in a journey... a journey to your past.
Remember when you were a child.
Remember what you felt anytime you discovered something new.
Bring back those feelings of curiosity, challenge, and desire.
Remember, you couldn't even walk at that time and you were already gazing that cup on the top of the table.
Bring back those feelings, look at your goal, and feel the same again.
Remember, you managed to walk, it is so natural now for you.
Become once more a child full of joy, love, and energy.
Stand up, keep trying, and go for it!
