Empower Newsletter – October 2011
Welcome to the 1st anniversary of the Empower Newsletter. Time really does fly when you are having fun! Can you believe it is October already! Only two more months until the end of the year.
Talking about time flying, I am wondering how your goals are progressing. I would love to support and celebrate any milestones you have reached so far, so be sure to let me know. Remember the trick in getting what you want is to know what you want and then taking action to make it happen.
Did you know?
‘to get what you want, you have to know what you want’
One of the most rewarding side effects of coaching is seeing my clients lives start to transform after helping them work out exactly what they want.
Far too often people can tell you exactly what they don’t want. Imagine, if what you focus on is what you get, why so many people that focus on the things they don’t want get more of the same. By focusing on what you do want, you can start working toward creating that very thing.
For example, imagine if instead of thinking and talking about how bad your job is or how you are overweight, you started to think about the way you wanted it to be. Where would your focus then be? And because your focus is on what you want, you automatically start to work toward getting it.
Give it a try and see how your life changes. Don’t get discouraged if you slip back to your old ways of thinking, just acknowledge how good it is that you realised you were doing it. Remember after a lifetime of thinking this way it may take a little bit of time to build this new muscle.
I wonder if what you are choosing to focus on is getting you the results you want?
A Great Read
The Seed by Jon Gordon
This book is a great place to start if you are searching for your purpose in life. It is presented as a story about Josh who had lost his passion for life. His journey to find his lost passion involved four stages of growth called the ‘purpose process’. I could relate to the insights shared at each of the four stages and found it inspiring.
I don’t consider myself a fast reader and it only took me a day to read this book. It’s one of those books you want to keep referring back to. It gave me new insights on where I am now and where I am going.
It is a great book for a rainy day.
