Whose plan are you following?
I keep getting questions from people about their path and purpose in life, and they seem to take the same familiar form. Sometime in mid-life they begin to get more and more dissatisfied and restless. They change jobs, move to a new city, get divorced, go bungee jumping. Their cry is always something like, "I don't know what I want!"What it boils down to is that somewhere in the past they got talked out of their own dream and for their whole life they have been following someone else's plan. As Mark Victor Hansen says, "If you don't have a plan for your life, you'll end up working to help someone else achieve theirs."
The problem is that we have so much programming about what is not possible that it's hard to open our mind to possibilities. We have golden handcuffs to our "wrong path." When I left my corporate career, I left an $80K paycheck and my engineering degree. If I hadn't been terminally miserable I never would have done it. People said I was nuts. If I hadn't done it, I never would have found my real path, which is what I do now with writing and seminars. And even then it took me 8 years of experimentation to find this right path.
For most people it takes coaching and experimentation to reopen their mind to what they have always known was theirs to do. It takes courage and determination to overcome the voice in our head that asks, "How you gonna make any money at THAT?" For those who make the jump, though, the rewards are well worth it.
Is this something you need to do? Get a coach to help. Take a seminar like "Science of Getting Rich" or "How to Create Success". But whatever you do, get moving.
