Recently I shared a personal story with a client who was struggling to get to the other side of a situation. I'd like to share that same story here hoping it can help you, too, now or in the future.
Many years ago I was trained as a Neuro Linguistic Practitioner. During our training we were required to break a wooden board in half with our hand which was to be used as a metaphor in our life. On one side of the board we wrote down our fears, concerns, doubts - basically all the things that we believed were stopping us from reaching our dreams. On the other side we wrote our dreams.
When it came time to break the board my heart was racing. With all those fears and doubts that I wrote on the top side of the board staring me in the face, I had little belief about accomplishing the task at hand - and on my first two attempts my fears and doubts became my reality, not to mention a sore hand.
Just before my third attempt my instructor walked up to me and whispered in my ear; "See beyond what's in front of you and aim for the other side. Your dreams are there waiting for you. Just because you can't see them with your physical eyes doesn't mean you can't reach them.
I instantly understood and the next thing I knew, the board was laying on the floor in two.
In life, it's so easy to only see the obstacles that are right in front of us and put all our attention on them. Our Gremlin thrives on that. The only way to break through any of those obstacles is to grab hold of your Genie Within and start seeing beyond. With your new eyes will come new beliefs, ideas and inspiration.
This is really good stuff here. Thanks for taking the time to post such valuable information.
