“Life
is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.”
― Helen Keller

One
of the things I am always trying to do is learn from the experiences that come
my way. I just am not a fan of repeat lessons. Why experience the same types of
issues over and over again when you could pay attention the first time and get
the lesson?
Of
course, that’s not to say I have always been able to do that. I have definitely
had my fair share of repeat lessons where the same challenges would creep up
because I needed to learn what I missed the time before.
But,
once I realized that things don’t just happen “to us”, they also happen “for us” so that we
can have certain realizations and live even better tomorrow, I really started
paying attention.
Here are 5 of The Best Realizations
To Have (in no particular order):
1. You Should Continually Rethink What’s Possible. There’s definitely a balance to be
struck and although there is nothing more important than experiencing the
moment in front of you and appreciating exactly where you are; you do want to
make sure you are recognizing all that is really possible and going for
what you really want.
2. There is a Possibility Spiral you must walk up if you want to get
from where you are today to where you really want to be. You’ve got to use the
days in front of you in the best way possible so you can continually move up
your Possibility Spiral. Two important areas to focus on are: (1)What you’re
doing each day to take a step in the direction you want to go (2) Having
the best energy flowing by bringing your highest self to what you say, think
and do.
3. There is something within each of us that is powerful and capable of so
much. It’s like that great quote by Emerson explains – “What lies behind us and what lies
before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” Our
job is to get more and more acquainted with that part of ourselves – our
Extraordinary Side-so that we can feel it at all times as we move through each
day.
4. Your mindset influences so much - how you feel, what you do
and what you really believe is possible. We’ve got to work everyday to clear
away limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns that we’ve built up over
the course of our lifetime. It’s like weeding a garden and your job each day is
to pick out as many weeds as you can. It takes discipline and effort, but once
you remove the weeds, life really opens up.
5. We need to let our Extraordinary Side lead the way when it comes to all
the aspects of our life. (1) Goals, work, career, success (2) Health &
Fitness (3) Financial Success (4) Family & Relationships (5) Spirituality
(6) Enjoying Life – “You Time” (7) Your Mindset (8) Your actions and behaviors.
Be willing to bring your highest self to everything you think, say, or do.
