Every
person has a great deal of potential within them. However, the majority of
people will never tap into that potential because something hinders them from
getting it done whether that be a traumatic event that plagues their mind, or a
negative mindset. This can be due to fear, insecurities, or of feelings of not
deserving or not being good enough.
The
list is literally endless because every person has different challenges in
life. We are all different people, with different pasts, experiences,
backgrounds, belief systems, but one commonality we all share: the pain of NOT
DOING in our past.
If
you’ve ever been to a conference for business, professional, or spiritual
development, you know the feeling of getting fired up, motivated and inspired
to go forward and DO! When you get home, the fire in your heart and mind is
still burning. Nonetheless, this feeling tends to be short lived, as the
reality of life sets in: bills, relationship problems, office issues, etc. and
your fire begins to go out and you are back at square one… again.
There
are some people that go to an event and then truly have a breakthrough in life.
They explode in their business, family life, spiritual life, and health. The
one thing that separates these people from the rest of us is their willingness
to go deeper within themselves.
If
you have attended an Anthony “Tony”
Robbins motivational lecture, you know there are many
reported success stories of people that he has inspired. Tony has stated in the
past that individuals are able to “breakthrough” because they do not accept
surface level BS; these successful people go deeper within themselves to
determine the root cause of their issues or shortcomings. He also explained
that by doing so, they would experience a true “breakthrough.”
If
this year is going to truly be different for you, and you are going to see
expansion and advancements in all parts of your life, you will need to go
deeper.
Here are two
important keys to help you have a breakthrough year:
1. Get Real With
Yourself
Self-reflection
is a powerful character building tool. However, when inspecting your life and
who you are, you must go deep into this process. Don’t stay surface level and
just think about what you need to improve on. Make the extra effort to think
about the why of it all. Why are you weak in certain areas? Why do you seem to
always fall short when doing certain tasks? Why do you dislike specific types
of people and or places? Most importantly, why do you lack
motivation in crucial aspects of your life?
When
you start asking these types of profound questions and digging deeper, you are
able to realize that there may be hidden reasons for your life constraints.
Sometimes, pain in our past and heart-rending experiences of life are
responsible for our weaknesses.
The
challenge is to visit these places mentally and resolve root causes. Having
these moments of reflection enables us to experience some very personal and
self teachable moments. It is in these moments that true clarity will come and
you will make decisions about where to go from here based on level headed logic
rather than simply pure emotion.
Getting to know
yourself better will help you in your personal and
professional growth and help you to fast-track the breakthrough you desire.
“Self
awareness is the ability to take an honest look at your life without any
attachment to it being right or wrong, good or bad.” – Debbie Ford
2. Get Real with
Others
Knowing
yourself is vital, but knowing the people and the environment around you is
also crucial. We’ve all heard the old saying, “hang around dogs with fleas and
you’ll soon have fleas as well.” If you’re going to breakthrough this year, you
better get to doing not only some self-reflection but also some
social-reflection. Look around yourself and find out who and what is having a
positive or negative impact on your life.
Are
you exposed to people who are constantly complaining, talking bad about others,
criticizing people, belittling others, and just outright being negative? If so,
their negative viewpoints need to be either dismissed in your mind, and/or you
should minimize the amount of time and attention that they take from you.
Tasks, habits, and
extracurricular activities which provide no greater
value for you should be reconsidered. Not that you shouldn’t have some down time
and moments to recharge, but be careful about scrolling social media aimlessly
and indulging in online window shopping. Such activities are not adding to your
expansion or ascension up to the next level of life; rather they are wasting
your time.
We
have a total of 100% energy to give per day (a cellphone example). Just like
the apps we have running in the background, they tend to drain us of our
energy. Everything we take part in requires some percentage of energy
investment from us. You must choose to dedicate energy to things and people
that are part of your solution in helping you move the needle towards your
goals. One simple question to ask yourself, and that all true leaders must ask
themselves is: Does THIS propel me closer TOWARDS my goal or AWAY from it?
“Surround
yourself with people who are only going to lift you higher.” – Oprah Winfrey
So,
get real with the situation at hand: you either want to have a breakthrough
year or you don’t. If you do, you should size-up your expectations, and key on
these two important areas of your life: who you are on the inside, and the
people and things around you that impact who you are.
