There is always a reason why we do the things we do and then there are reasons why the universe provides us with opportunities along the way. When we have a goal or a dream to be a certain way, to do things in our lives and to have the benefits then there are no coincidences when opportunity comes knocking on the door. When we seize this opportunity we give clear signals to the universe that we are ready to embark on a new journey in our lives, a journey where we will experience the rollercoaster ride of up, down, sideways, upside down, hanging or being on a plateau and sometimes the downright nasty of throwing up whether it be on ourselves or on others. We go through the highs and the lows in order to grow, to personally develop, to learn new skills, to let go of those things such as beliefs and skills that don’t work and to create life brand new.
How this opportunity comes about is by you having a compelling reason (s) to change your life. It could quite simply be being able to pay for food. Ask yourself the question why would I like to have _________? What will having this in my life give me? How will having this in my life benefit me? How will it benefit the people I love? How will it benefit my community, the world (if you so choose to take the challenge)? What will my life be like if I did not get _________?
The one thing I personally believe that helps in creating the difference in making dreams and goals come true is to be in communication with a coach or therapist in whatever phase of life it is that you’re going through. Whatever the challenges or circumstances that arise, they can assist you in breaking through the barriers that come up and to create a new level of being. They will always be there to remind you of your “why”; this is the most powerful thing you can have in your life. Your “why” will drive you and the universe will create circumstances that bring you exactly what or whom you need in order for you to attain the life you want. When you have a dream that is compelling enough you’ll create your pathway of success.
Write your “why” down in a place where you can see it and read it everyday. Put it in more than one place if need be. Remind yourself how important your "why" is and if you falter, your coach or therapist are there as a team to help you. Send someone who champions you in your life to being a success an email with your "why" and explain to that person if they don't already know why it is that you're writing them that email. This person will be someone whom you can turn to, when you are feeling low or you feel that failure is around the corner and by sharing and being in touch with your all powerful "why" you will once again have the ball rolling for the universe to give you circumstances and people for the success of your "why".
Your "why" will change once you 'made it', and you will find a bigger "why" in your life.
My "why" in my life right now is have both my son (age 9) and my daughter (age 4) living together, living a great life of freedom, love and respect, enjoying life with family and friends, having opportunities to travel the world and making a difference in the lives of others. To give back what we have gotten and more.
