You are here for a reason

by KERRIE BROWN

Did you know you’re here for a reason? I believe you are, but sometimes what that reason is seems grey, or out of focus and hard to know. I’ve found the best place to start is always in your heart because that’s where your purpose lives.

Often we sabotage our purpose and dreams, all because we’re afraid to put ourselves out there and believe in them. Here are some valuable questions to ask yourself in regards to your purpose. Do you get in your own way and not believe in the beauty of your dreams? What’s holding you back from moving forward?

What if we only get one go at this life? Choose to grab life with everything you’ve got and give that thing in your heart a go. It’s life changing when we do.

I encourage you to take hold of the magic that’s within you and just go for it. We all have different dreams that dwell within us but if they aren’t acted upon that’s where they’ll stay.

Decide to get out of your own way, start believing and get on with what needs doing, so you don’t leave this life with those dreams left in you.

It’s also a perfect time to reassess and make adjustments, because sometimes our desires have changed. There are no rules, they’re your dreams and it’s your life, just evaluate accordingly.

We all have a reason to live and a purpose in our heart to fulfill. You may need to excavate your soul to identify it, but when you stop, get quiet and consider your heart’s yearning you’ll absolutely find it. It’s never too late to start finding your reason, and it’s always worth pursuing.

Blessings

Use Your Mental Edge Focus on the process, the outcome will take care of itself

The biggest lesson that I have learned throughout the building of my career and working with hundreds of athletes, business owners and career professionals is to trust the

Don’t worry about the outcome, focus on the process. When you learn to focus on the process, more times than not, the outcome will take care of itself.

I’ve been able to meet, interact and be coached by the likes of Dr John De Martini, Paul Elisio and Juliet Lever of Evolve and Relaunch, Kerwin Rae and Bruce Campbell (10 x Global Winning Business Coach). All of these coaches have the same concept and foundation in place - work on the process.

Even though I would say that’s the number one biggest lesson, it’s the hardest to do, because in our society everyone is interested in the outcome. We all want the end result, because that’s what’s fast, sexy and attractive. But you have to remember that going back to the process is what matters.

I think the best way to illustrate the process is this:

If something in our Sunshine Coast facility breaks, I either pay someone to fix it or I just assume that it’s going to stay broken forever, because I know that I’m not going to do it. Yet, despite my lack of skills, I have confidence in myself that I could build a sound sturdy brick wall or an igloo.

The reason I have that confidence is because you build it brick by brick, it’s so analogous to the process. I have the confidence that I could pick up one brick at one time and set it exactly where it needs to go.

Then I could go back and pick up another brick and set it exactly where it needs to go with precision. If I did that enough times, eventually I’d have a sound and sturdy brick wall or igloo.

But, as soon as I lose focus on each individual brick and start worrying about the wall or the house or whatever it was that I was building, things could get messy. I think if you can have the brick-by-brick mentality and focus on each individual brick, things will work out for themselves.

So, if somebody has a goal of achieving something, take that goal and reverse engineer it and start to work backwards.

Start to look at the little incremental steps, the micro steps and the bricks, if you will, that are needed to achieve that goal and put all of your attention and focus into each little step that you jamiemilnemindgym.com.au
