The Real Newsletter - Issue 1 - Are you ready to be Real?

The Real Newsletter

Hi there!

It's been a long time hasn't it?

If you are a previous subscriber to the "Kindred Spirits" newsletter you may wonder where it's been? If you are new to the Real Success mailing list (in the last 8 months), you may wonder what this is all about and why you have received this email.

So let's cut to the chase!

Trying to build a business in difficult economic times, trying to be more successful or simply trying to be happier in all that you do - is a tough journey for many of us and I'm no different! Finding out more about who you are, what you are good at and what you want to build your life around is something that I know many people struggle with every day.

So here I am, writing the newsletter again. Why?

After a very strange few weeks (some have said there has been lots of cosmic activity which influences our mood) I am stepping firmly into my truth, my authentic self, and taking bold steps towards my dreams. So why do I tell you this?

Because I want you to join me on the path towards your authentic self too!

That's what my business, my life and this newsletter is all about - helping people step into their truth, be authentic and more successful as a result. I feel it's time to be truly REAL and live my business mantra like never before and I want to help others do the same.

The Real Newsletter will offer you a simple and easy to read tip, thought, perspective, story or suggestion on how you can be more REAL in everything you do. My coaching and mentoring is then designed to help you make it a reality.

This weeks perspective is all about taking a "leap of faith" and includes a great video clip too.

Some quick points about the newsletter:-

It will be free - forever. All I ask is that if it helps you - pay it forward by passing it on.

It will be consistent. It will arrive every week on a Monday morning to give you some perspective for the week.

It will be short and easy to read. There will be a short intro from me and then one story or perspective that you can read in a couple of minutes. Simples.

It will be from my heart. If you like it - great - stay with me. If you don't like it and its not for you - that's cool - just unsubscribe.

Feedback is great too - so let me know if anything you read resonates with you or helps you.

I look forward to helping you be more REAL in everything that you do. It really is the only way to be.

Yours in Being Real,

Paul

P.S Thank you to Lynn, now back in Australia who was partly behind the inspiration to start writing this newsletter again. Hope this helps you as it did before xxx

The "Leap of Faith..."

Do you feel it's time for you to step out and follow your goals, ambitions or dreams? Do you get a tingle of excitement when you consider taking steps towards your dreams but also experience a gnawing fear that it could all go horribly wrong if you do step out?

If you have reached a point in your life when you know exactly what you want to do - either in your work or personal life, and it requires some changes, it can be a very scary place to be.

Often we can't be certain of all the facts. We can't be certain of how things will turn out. We just know that we have to step out and trust that the next step will emerge before us.

Some call this a "leap of faith".

But it doesn't have to be a leap "into" faith. We don't have to believe in a particular religion to be helped in this process. It's a leap "of" faith. We simply have to believe with all our hearts, that the next step in our journey is right for us. This is a "knowing" feeling that often can't be explained - a hunch, gut instinct, or whisper from our intuition that says "just do it".

And when we take that first tentative step - believing in our hearts (and not always our head) that it is the right thing to do, the bridge that will take us across the chasm of our fears simply "appears" in front of us. And we take the next step.

This clip below is from one of the movies in the Indiana Jones series and shows the Leap of Faith principle superbly. Our hero - Indiana is searching for the holy grail (aren't we all...?) and is faced with some tests along the way. One such test is to step out across a bottomless chasm fully believing that he will be saved and that his route across will appear. If there is any doubt in his mind, he will fall into the chasm. Maybe our lives are the same. We meet moments where we have to take a leap of faith to enable us to make that next step.
