Your most desired goal MAY only require having faith
the size of a mustard seed to come to fruition.
However, when that seed is planted in a variety of
tough weeds known as the 'ButWhatIf', chances are your
goal will never see the light of day.
Suppose you want to change your financial
circumstances. You may have read someplace that in
order to change current situation, all you have to do
is change the way you THINK and FEEL about them and
opportunities will magically appear in your life that
completely transform your present experiences.
Suddenly, you are attacked by the 'ButWhatIfs'.
BUT-WHAT-IF I try that and it doesn't work?
BUT-WHAT-IF I try that and it's too much work?
BUT-WHAT-IF I try that and it DOES work, but it really
isn't what I want?
And so, once again you settle for the tried and tested
ROUTINE. It's comfortable. Even if the circumstances
aren't ideal, you are still comfortable because you
know how to handle your discomfort. "After all, it
really isn't that bad where I am", you try to convince
yourself.
You know what the abbreviation for ROUTINE is, don't
you" It's RUT!
And the definition of a RUT is, "a grave with the ends
kicked out". Someplace you definitely don't want to
be... not if you are still breathing and have a pulse!
This is a most exciting time of year - even better than
New Years. For many people in the Northern Hemisphere,
summer is coming to an end and it's back to school
and/or work. With renewed commitment and dedication,
these next few months can spell the difference between
making the major life changes you've always wanted, or
spending another year in the C.A.S.K.E.T.
C = Comfort
A = And
S = Safety
K = Kills
E = Every
T = Trial
In other words, if comfort and safety are your main
concerns, you probably won't even TRY to improve your
lot in life. I don't know about you, but I'm going to
my grave kicking and screaming all the way!
What do you say! This fall, let's get ready to rumble
and make some noise!
Watch where you plant your 'Mustard Seeds' and be sure
to keep them out of the 'ButWhatIf' patch!
All the best from Toronto,
Russ
