One of the amazing things I get to see with people who have subscribed to this Daily Journal for years is the transformation that can happen over that time.
If you’re a long time reader, then you know I subscribe to the inside/out process of creation.
You work on YOU, the really deep parts of you, and that work flows out into your business.
This is not work that can be done for you. You must do it.
So you could say, I’m not really in the business of “doing” much for people. I don’t think anyone CAN really “do” something for you. You kind of have to do it yourself. You have to grow yourself. You have to change yourself. You have to free yourself. You have to govern yourself. You have to take responsibility for yourself.
Others can help, they can inspire, empower, direct and guide, but you have to do the walking. You are the driver. You have to be the driver. No one else is interested in that job. No one else is qualified for that job.
On the flip side of this coin, I also get to see people have a very different type of experience over extended periods of time.
I get to hear people talking about creating a media platform, or a marketing system, or an entire business, maybe for YEARS without actually doing it.
Why does this happen?
Maybe it happens because some aren’t yet being honest with themselves about what they do and do not want. That’s fine. We all get to that point at different times. Some never get there. That’s OK too.
I think the more common reason might be that people aren’t sure about the way forward.
That’s how we were trained, you know. We were trained (on purpose) to view the world in a linear fashion. We were trained this way so as not to become a threat to the powers that were.
If you live life and use your limitless power of creation in a LINEAR way, you willingly give up about 99% of your power.
So we are trained to start over “THERE” and when we want to get to the “OTHER” side, we sit down and chart the path “forward.”
Accepting that thought program is an error you don’t easily recover from.
So how about we throw that linear model away? It keeps people small and scared and it’s really a terrible thing to do to yourself.
So…
Imagine you’re a sphere of potential surrounded by an enormous field of obstacles.
Then imagine that the goal you have for yourself is ANOTHER ring of energy out away from the sphere (YOU!) in the center.
What does the path to the goal look like? Which way is “forward?”
Who the hell knows?
And really, it doesn’t matter.
So when the sphere of energy begins to grow, it simply weaves its way outward, around any obstacle it encounters.
It doesn’t matter which way. The energy of your potential will simply flow around any obstacle in its path towards that outer ring you call your goal. Up, down, left, right, around, through, in, out.
Do you see how this removes obstacles to “getting started?”
People don’t get started because they’ve been trained there’s a “right way” and they’ve been programmed with a deep fear of doing it wrong.
There’s no right way.
There are productive action steps you can take and there are unproductive ones.
You commit to the action (e.g. creating a media platform!), within a structure that’s planned out. And you let the potential FLOW.
This is the work I do. I create the containers, the systems, the strategies and Dear Readers, like you, bring the action.
You don’t have to know HOW you’re getting to the goal to have complete conviction you’ll arrive.
You simply have to ACT.
