HOW TO NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAM

How To Never Give Up On Your Dream

Do you remember your first bicycle? Mine was a hand-me-down with 24” tires and I think I was was all of 6 or 7 years old trying to get on that thing. And of course I was on the ground more than I was on the bike. But every time I tried and failed I would think of ways to get back up and stay. I tried everything. I tried starting with the kickstand down, (that’s good for a couple of skinned knees) I even tried jumping on from a lawn chair, (crash) finally I asked for help and a friend said, “Why don’t you start with the left pedal straight up, stand on it as you push forward with your other foot then swing your leg up over the seat? And it worked. Well kind of. Sometimes instead of going forward the pedal went backward and of course that’s the break, right?

But you know eventually I got the hang of it. I got on and stayed on so many times…that riding a bicycle just became second nature to me. And I guess we all know you can’t unlearn to ride a bicycle can you? Once you learn it - you’ve learned it for life! And it’s the same way with anything new we have to learn.  So if we were to distill this concept down to a simple sentence or two, it might look something like this.

In learning new skills, Stay with it until you get it. Don’t quit. Learn it and you’ve learned it for life!

So there are two thoughts here. 

First, make the shift from looking at goal setting and achieving as something you cannot do, or you’re a failure at doing, and begin to see this as a natural process of Creating - Visualizing and Holding your image until your goal is realized. And know this - you were born for this. You came into the world pre-programmed, as a perfect creator and manifestor.

Second, is, when you make this shift in your perception, it’s important that you begin to detach yourself from the outcome, separating your perceived value…from your result. You are not your result. You’re the creator of your result. And, that, my friend, put’s You in the driver’s seat.

You see once you detach yourself from the outcome, you will connect with your Creative Power (Your desire, drive and enthusiasm) in ways you’ve never even imagined! First of all you’ll feel 1000% more confident, 1000 times happier, 1000 times freer, AND you will create and manifest your results 1000 times faster.

Try this. Think of ways you may have connected yourself to your results in the past.

• I guess I would have seen myself as some kind of superhero if I could have gotten up on that big bicycle the very first time. But at what price? 
• If I could have bypassed the Creative Process I wouldn't have a story to tell, nor understand the value of winning - moving from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm!

Questions that might be helpful to ask yourself. 
What personal goals am I having difficulty achieving in my:

• Finances
• Health
• Relationships
• Career
• Other

Think of a time you failed to reach your goal.

• Next ask yourself, did I bail on my goal and consider myself a failure or did I see that as a time for reflection and self-evaluation? 
• Because that will make a vast difference in the way you see this whole process.

During my down time, how hard was it for me to hold the image of my goal?

• If it seemed very challenging, know this, it’s difficult for everyone at first.
• Holding the image of your goal after a perceived failure is a skill to be learned.  
• If your image persists even in the face great difficulty, that's pretty good evidence that your goal is part of your Life's Purpose. And that could be a game changer for you. (More about your Life's Purpose in future posts.)

 The good news is - we get do overs. In learning any new skill, like riding a bike, no one is good the first time. However to learn these skills:

• We have to intentionally stay connected to our goal.
• We must stay in the Land of Possibility.
• There are certain conversations we need to have with ourselves if we are going to overcome self doubt. 
• And we have to understand this is a Creative Process.

Stay Connected To Your Creative Power!
