Want Results? The Secret is…

May 1st, 2010

Be the person who…

Becoming, like tomorrow never comes.

My personal power is in this moment. So is yours. It’s who I choose to be in this moment… and this moment… and this one, too, that determines what I think, how I feel, what I say, and what I do. It all starts with who I am right now!

Sure, I’ll feel good when I’ve achieved and gotten my rewards.

The thing I’ve got to remember is that feeling good is the prerequisite, as well as the reward, for doing good work, for a job well done, for delivering a peak performance.

The pros know this. Professional athletes and performing artists know they need to be the person who does good work, who delivers an outstanding performance. They know they need feel good, feel confident they can in advance of doing what they need to do. And the doing comes before the results.

So why is it so hard for me to do? Because I got taught I got taught backwards. I got taught that first I have to do, then I get to have, then I get to be.

And so I’ve been practicing the wrong things for a very long time.

How about you?

So what’s a person to do?

I need to remember that who I am in this moment is my choice. Then I get to choose who I am in this moment. You get to do the same.

Easy for me to say.

Sometimes I get caught in my old habits.

What’s it going to take?

Practice, practice, practice. Practice remembering that life’s a journey and I get to choose how I’m showing up. Practice putting my attention on all I am, all I have, all I can do. Practice on playing to my strengths and asking others to help with things they love to do that plays to their strengths.

It’s that simple! Yet it sometimes feels so hard. Oh well. I can sit and whine and cry about it or I can choose again in this moment to be…

I need to sing my new song and dance my new dance. I need to get that I choose who I am and choose to be a person who’s just fine as I am. AND that as an ever-evolving, ever expanding Spirit Being, I’m always going to get to choose to remember…

Right now, in this very moment, I am the perfect person to be who I need to be right now to do what’s next… And so are you!

So put a smile on your face and a song in your heart, and enjoy being you. I’ll do the same. And together we’ll radiate a magnificent light, sing a great song, and enjoy traveling this road of life together.

And remember, if it’s got to get done, make it fun!
