Be Better

This story is inspired by one of my clients who has already accomplished so much in his 37 years and yet he does not see what his accomplishments are, instead he is focusing on what is still missing..

I guess we all tend to focus on that from time to time, what we want is still out there elusive and un-touchable. So after awhile this becomes demotivating and we get stuck in our predicament. All we want is to do better and putting this into practice becomes the real challenge.

This is when we need to tackle each day as it comes one at a time. Set yourself some realistic mini-goals each day. Focus on the action and get on with living authentically. If you find yourself reflecting on the past this will not serve you going forward so make a conscious decision to minimize the mental tennis matches and be in the now..

Being better takes work, otherwise you just stay complacent and nothing will change. The world changes around you and you are left behind. Just imagine what your life would be like if you didn’t have a mobile or the internet. You would be living back in the 80s early 90s not capitalizing on all the networking opportunities and new technologies. If you are in business this would be to your detriment. So being better means you embrace change and become part of the new wave.

Often times figuring IT out is the hard part. What do you really want? We think of material things and this doesn’t really make us happy in the long term. Having genuine relationships, connections, sharing, caring and being passionate is what I crave for. What do you crave?

Looking back at my life I realize I have come so far, and I still have so much more to do. I am motivated by my family, being a better example for my child and husband plus maintaining my personal growth. This in turn helps our business and allows us more freedom and flexibility.

What does ‘being better’ mean to you?

• Improving existing relationships
• Pursuing another career
• Improving financial status
• Having more awareness
• Learning more about others
• Becoming more passionate
• Being the Best you can be

In summary, when we allow ourselves to be nurtured we grow just like a plant, we get the nutrients and we flourish. We shine and allow others to shine equally. As this gives us permission to illuminate our own path, and in doing so the path of others.
