When speaking to groups, I often use the metaphor of weeds and seeds. This simple metaphor applies to a wide range of life situations.
It's not flashy, but it gets to the core truth.
If we have seeds of beauty and success, we want to water them. We want them to grow.
However, if we have weeds in our garden, we want to make sure we get rid of them.
And that's not as easy as it sounds. So lets go over a few secrets of LIVING YOUR DREAMS.
HIDDEN SECRET #1: WEEDS DESTROY OUR DREAMS. SEEDS BUILD DREAMS.
The weeds are the habitual thoughts and emotions that are destructive. They hurt us and they hurt others. The weeds destroy our dreams. The weeds squash our happiness. The weeds squeeze the joy from our successes. The weeds are our psychological enemies.
- Weeds occur when we focus on the behavior of others rather than our own.
- Weeds are the thoughts of doubt.
- Weeds are the fears of failure.
- Weeds are the repeated stories we tell ourselves that say we cant.
- Weeds are the worries.
- Weeds are the energy we invest in rethinking our decisions over and over.
- Weeds are the attention we keep giving to things out of control.
- Weeds are excuses for not taking action.
- Weeds are toxic to our dreams.
The seeds are the habitual thoughts and emotions that empower us. The seeds are the seeds of success and happiness. The seeds are the seeds of fulfillment and inspiration. We want to learn to nurture these seeds.
- Seeds are the thoughts of living the dream.
- Seeds are truth.
- Seeds are thoughts of love.
- Seeds are knowing you are enough whether or not you succeed.
- Seeds are living in quiet confidence of your worthiness.
- Seeds are the energy we invest in building internal and external muscle.
- Seeds are about always taking responsibility.
- Seeds are about never engaging an excuse.
- Seeds are knowing you deserve all you dream of.
- Seeds are trusting the depth of your own knowledge and dream.
- Seeds are giving your attention to what you want.
HIDDEN SECRET #2: FEED SEEDS. STARVE WEEDS.
Whether talking to coaching clients, speaking to businesses, or counseling parents, the advice is the same. We must learn to master this secret. It
gives us personal power ...THE KIND OF PERSONAL POWER to gain control over our emotions and direct our motivations.
We must learn to master what gets our attention both internally and externally. Why?
Because, if you feed the seeds of success with your attention success and happiness grows.
However, if you feed the weeds of failure and frustration you breed failure. You breed unhappiness. You breed pain. You breed
false hope.
So, we need to learn how to master what gets our attention. Often, we have been conditioned by our childhood and experiences to keep giving our conscious and unconscious attention to the weeds.
YOU MUST GAIN AWARENESS OF WHAT IS GETTING YOUR
ATTENTION if you want to LIVE YOUR DREAMS. You can then choose where you attention goes next. This sounds like a little thing.
IT IS NOT. IT IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON TO MASTER!
PERIOD.
Why? Because...
HIDDEN SECRET #3: YOUR ENERGY FLOWS WHERE YOUR ATTENTION GOES!
You want your energy to begin to flow into your dreams. Your want your energy to flow into your strengths. You want your energy to flow into healthy behaviors. You want your energy to flow into the positive responses from the environment when you start to get feedback from the world around you.
When you can master what gets your attention, you then begin to master the flow of energy. When your life energy is moving in the direction of your dreams, you will find your dreams unfolding.
More importantly, your life energy is already feeding your dreams even though you aren't there yet. And
that's a bigger secret.
HIDDEN SECRET #4: YOU ARE ALREADY LIVING YOUR DREAM WHEN YOUR ENERGY IS FLOWING INTO YOUR DREAMS...WITHOUT ATTACHMENT TO THE DREAM!
Okay, this is a tough one. At least, it appears that way.
Goals are really cool. I talk about that elsewhere on this site.
Getting to your goals is really, really cool.
But, its not as cool as living your dreams everyday even as you stretch for your goals. When you learn to master what gets your attention, your control where your emotional and physical energy flows. Once that energy starts flowing fully into your dreams on a daily basis, you may discover that you are having so much fun that you realize this is what its really about living your dreams everyday.
