"Update Your Story"
Your Success Thought for the Week of March 28, 2007
Think youare getting tired of your
same old
excuses (stories) for not being as successful
as you’d like? Imagine how the people
around
you feel! I hear it all the time: “This
person was manipulative; that law suite last
year just killed me; he/she left me and I'm
still angry.” With all due respect, give it a
rest.
We all have a past composed of great, good and not so good experiences. It’s up to us each moment of each day to decide exactly which experiences are a part of who we are today. Client Sean is a great example of updating his story. Sean was a product of his environment in college--smoking, drugs and alcohol. He carried these behaviors into his 20s, never giving it a second thought. One surprising day, Sean learned that he had cancer. Though shocked and in the victim role for a short period, his focus turned to survival. Now, ten years later, he is a marathon runner, amazing husband and dad, health nut, and emerging leader in his company and community. In fact, few people in Sean's world even know that he had cancer. It's simply not a part of today's story. What is your story? Is something in your past holding you from moving forward strongly and powerfully? It could be something that happened only last week. You have it within you at this moment to simply breathe and let it go. It really is that simple. Before you update your story, you do need to release the old one. Here are some methods to do just that:
The next part is easy. As you release your old story, a brand new one will evolve. Your new story may surprise you as it may be nothing that occurred to you before. How could it? Your mind and heart were so filled with what was holding you back, how could you possible entertain thoughts of what will move you forward. Enjoy your process and your new, updated story. Ann P. S. We'd love to hear how you used our ‘Success Thought of The Week’ in your business or personal dealings.
