Choose your own direction
When growing up, if you were in trouble and you blamed your good mate for getting you there, did your mum say to you,” Well, if she told you to stick your head in the oven, would you?”? I remember thinking that is just a ridiculous comparison. Of course I wouldn’t because it would hurt. Sometimes though we are lead into things that are going to hurt us. It could be financially, or our reputation or just our well-being.
In your personal/business life it could be all about fitting in, wanting people to like you, fear of rejection, not wanting to be judged, or even fear as the reason you do what you feel within you is not right, just so you don’t get any backlash.
The thing is though, we must choose our own direction we are headed. It must be our journey, our story so we have control of the outcome. To follow what others are doing is their journey. We are copying, and therefore we don’t truly understand it, and probably will take a wrong turn, which may not only do us harm but set us back on our own journey.
A few tips to keep you focused on your own journey, in your own direction are:
Embrace fabulous YOU
Have a voice and speak up
Have a clear vision of what you want for yourself and the outcome you want
Stop overthinking things and trust your gut instinct more
Believe in your own ability to succeed
Don’t force yourself into a role or a situation going forward that you know is not right for you or that is not going to give you the outcome you want. Wait for the right time, the right situation, be clear on what you want and go for it.
After being a small business owner for 25 years, I sold my business to concentrate on my true passion: people.
I want to help you find your WHY and your HOW, and to make the necessary changes to improve your business and personal life. Taking control of where you are, but more importantly where you want to be, is what it is all about.
You need to work out what is stopping you, and what changes need to be made or improved on, so you can move forward with gusto and determination. Go get the life you want, it's ready for you!
I’d love to hear from you. x TM.
