The Fundamental Shift

In the "Born Loser" comic strip for January 1, the character stands at the edge of echo canyon and shouts out "Happy New Year!" only to hear the echo return: "Same old, same old." Not a very uplifting prospect, to be sure. But if the truth be told, many of us, at least at an unconscious level, are living that paradigm. We stand on the precipice of a new year filled with possibilities but are anchored to the spot by our hidden "B.S."--belief systems, limiting paradigms and fundamental lies, and deep down, the fear that maybe this year will simply be more of the same.

So while the ink is still fresh on your new year's resolutions or while hope still stirs that this year will NOT be "same old, same old" take some time to ask yourself a few important questions:

• What is the fundamental shift I need to make this year in order for it to be an over-the-top, dream-come-true, inspired living kind of year instead of "same old, same old"?


• What old paradigm, belief system or hidden lie is it time to unearth, expose to the light of day and transform into an empowering vision of your happy new year?


• What do you need to let go of in order to embrace what is waiting to be born in your life and or business?

• Not forgiving yourself or another for a failure, disappointment or shortcoming. What we won't let go of will continue to hold us in place.


• Relying only on your own energies and thoughts. Masterminding and collaborating with others produces synergy, one of the greatest aids to effectiveness and achievement. Speaker and author Mark Victor Hansen puts it perfectly: "One plus one doesn't equal two, it becomes the power of 11."


• Failing to really get specific about what you want. As the Cheshire cat remarked, "If you don't know where you're going, then any road will do."


• Not taking action. Any action is often sufficient to get the wheels turning. Just start."


• Self-criticism in all of its myriad forms like: "I'm not good enough,organized enough, thin enough, rich enough, smart enough, focused enough," yada, yada, yada. William Shakespeare wrote: "Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt."

Quote of the Week:

"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."

~~Henry David Thoreau
