Do you really want to soar? You can’t take off to your destination successfully, when you’re burdened with excess baggage. You need to identify, eliminate and conquer; your fears, your loss and grief, your uncontrolled emotions like anger and jealousy, and your dead wood of bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness, because these things have no life – only death and grief.
Becoming strong and unshakable and ready to soar, requires the following framework to act as a character and emotional ‘SAFE’ health check;
- Stocktake what makes you happy and gives you a feeling of fun now? What are the sweet spots in your life NOW?
- Avoid the Approval of people – it is a trap! You don’t need it – stay Authentic.
- Fortify your mind and heart with faith in strong beliefs and values so the winds of change won’t blow you over. Ask yourself, why do I believe my chosen values are so important to me? Challenge yourself and drill down to find the rock of your foundation.
- Eliminate and conquer fear, by kicking it in the face, with faith and courage.
Courage is the determination to face fear head on. Courage is not the absence of fear – it is the will to persevere. Steely determination, tenacity and persistence will be major factors in reaching your goals.
A river cuts through rock, not because of its power, but because of its persistence.
