My mantra has been:"Believe in the Possibilities". I like to think of myself as an optimist, I like to believe that I see the glass as half full. Yet, I often get stuck behind the "wall." Lately, it seems that I am having trouble communicating with the most important people in my life, my family. I try to engage them in conversation, try to ask the right questions, yet it often appears as if I am speaking a completely different language. When this happens I begin to spiral downwards, and negitive self-talk begins in my brain. I have spent years studying about positive affirmations and creating the life you want, yet I sometimes find myself stuck in the mud. After reading this chapter, I guess I am not really stuck in the mud, I am where I am suppose to be and it is from here that I must take off and soar like an eagle! So, I then begin a new litney of positive self-talk.
Once, I had the privledge of attending a "Breakthrough" session with Brian Biro. He is an amazing guy. He gave everyone in the audience a board to write on what was holding us back from succeeding. Then we would stand in a circle around one person chantting their name as they would break the board with one hand. It was a very powerful moment. Change is hard, but often it is worth it, you just have to work through the fear of it.
Thanks for sharing... communication between those closest to us and within ourselves can be a huge challenge. It's tough to ride that line between where we are and where we want to be. Hope you continue to break the boards in your way.
