YOU HAVE THE LIFE YOU’RE WILLING TO PUT UP WITH
Posted on December 13, 2017 by Sydney Ceruto, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.
You can have the life you want.....you just have to be willing!
Think about it. What are the problems, those heinous, dark shadows currently spoiling the warmth and happiness of your otherwise blissful life?
Do you hate your job? Are you in a bad relationship? Is there something wrong with your health? Done, get a new job. End the relationship. Change your diet and exercise or locate the kind of help you need. Seems simple doesn’t it? Even when it comes to things you seemingly had no say in, like the death of a loved one or losing your business, you have a MASSIVE say in the ways you live your life in the aftermath of those events.
If you’re not willing to take the actions to change your situation-in other words, if you’re willing to put up with your situation-then whether you like it or not, that is the life you have chosen.
Before you think “but…” or start to get yourself all worked up, let me say one more thing. By defending your circumstances as they are right now, you are actually making a case for being where you are.
No buts. You can’t afford them. They’re excess baggage on a trip that requires you to travel light.
To start this process you must first stop another one.
STOP BLAMING LUCK
STOP BLAMING OTHER PEOPLE
STOP POINTING TO OUTSIDE INFLUENCES
STOP BLAMING YOUR CHILDHOOD OR NEIGHBORHOOD
There is always something you can do to impact those circumstances even if you’ve had them for years and still can’t see a way. But first, you must be willing. To fully embrace my approach, you must first accept that while there are things that have happened in your life that you had no say in, you are 100 percent responsible for what you do in your life in the aftermath of those events. Always, overtime, no excuses.
In other words, willingness is a state in which we can engage with life and see a situation from a new perspective. It starts with you and ends with you. No one can make you willing, and you cannot move forward until you really are willing to make the next move.
When you are finally willing, you can literally experience that willingness, that innate freedom that courses through your veins, and similarly when you are not, the kind of primordial stuck-ness that halts and presses down on you like some invisible weight on your chest.
Remember, FATE LEADS THE WILLING AND DRAGS ALONG THE RELUCTANT.
