Be sure to go back and read all of the preceding articles in this series that started with, "SEE IT - WANT IT - GET IT" and follow through step by step. ESPECIALLY make sure you read the article right before this one because they definitely connect.
I've actually met some people, in my lifetime, that have said that they truly have no desire for any improvement or change in and for their life. They were completely satisfied with where they were and, you know what? THAT'S O.K. These people that I'm talking about weren't lazy. They were simply satisfied with where they were in life.
But, I've ALSO talked to some people that said the same thing and they were barely getting by and their family (spouse, kids, etc.) was suffering because of this mentality and, yes, they WERE lazy and were satisfied with the government stepping in to help them barely survive. Honestly, for the most part, THAT mentality is very difficult to overcome if it's possible at all.
And, finally, I've heard people say that they "Don't Want It" ("it" being something better) because they didn't fully believe that "it" was really even possible for them. As talked about in the last article, they DON'T (or CAN'T) See 'IT" so they don't even really know if they want it. Why? YOU CAN'T WANT WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE and YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT YOU DON'T SEE!
For many that find themselves in this situation that I mentioned in this last paragraph, there still seems to be "something" that burns within them that causes them to wonder if, indeed, they should even dream or desire of something better and if they COULD ever even possibly live their dream or desire.
YES, YOU CAN!
Now, let's be real here. A lot of that does depend on some level of practicality, right? For example, I'm 66 years old and if I said my desire was to still play in the NBA then...uh...well, grandpa, you might want to sit down and us have a little talk! BUT, even at 66, if my desire is to have SOME sort of connection with the NBA then there might actually be some things that I might be able to accomplish and reach that goal and dream. (By the way, I don't have that desire).
Fact is, too many are "afraid" to actually believe that it's possible. Maybe you've been told by family and friends that you just settle for "your lot in life" and don't expect anything better. Maybe you've expressed such a desire and were met with words such as, "Who are YOU to think you can do better? Who do you think you are??" and so, you just put that desire and dream back in the closet.
Maybe - over the years - you've simply given up to where you CAN'T SEE IT any longer and, as a result, you DON'T WANT IT any longer.
So, yeah, just as this graphic states...WAKE UP and PAY ATTENTION!
I have been telling you - encouraging you - OFFERING you the opportunity for you to join my FREE community on Skool ("Finish What You Start") to join up with me PERSONALLY and to begin to get the help and guidance you likely need to REGAIN YOUR VISION and your FOCUS to move toward your dreams and desires.
Now, I don't know that I've ever done this in my blog article but, I just stepped away from my writing and, when I sat back down to finish up, I felt a real "push" to share something with you spiritually. I'm not talking about the world's idea of "mystical/spiritual" but spiritual as in your souls relationship to God. I am a minister/preacher and I feel that there is someone - RIGHT NOW - reading this that NEEDS to hear this same idea/approach when it comes to your relationship with God because you have begun to feel that you CAN'T want something better in your relationship because you are a "failure" spiritually.
Friend, listen to me...if that's you, that is a LIE FROM SATAN himself! I'm just going to share a link with you from a sermon I did just this past Sunday where I simply go through God's Word (the Bible) and share the thought of "Seeing Yourself Through God's Eyes". And, yes, I can help you with that as well. Here's the link: https://youtube.com/live/bVkEV6unBVg?feature=share
Once again, the ball is in your court - it's your CHOICE.
As always..."Make it an AWESOME day! (Who else is going to do it for you?)"
Mike
