Masterful Mindset – March to the Beat of Your Own Drum
“Let the rhythm of your own heart’s desires be the beat you keep. Because it’s when you march to the beat of your own drum that your whole life becomes a passionate dance to the most beautiful music your soul has ever heard.” ~ Michelle Weimer
Question:
Do you march to the beat of your own drum or do you give in to conformity because you are afraid of what others will think? Do you listen to your heart or do you make decisions based on guilt or shoulds? Are you ready to let go of those negative motivators and create the life you truly desire?
Action Challenge:
March has begun and before we know it, it’ll be the first day of spring. Seems like just yesterday we were celebrating the new year and setting goals for the future. I wonder though, how many of your goals were truly yours?
What do I mean by that?
Well it seems that so often people set goals based on what everyone else is doing or what they believe they should be doing. And then wonder why, even if they take all the right actions to put a plan in place to achieve them, they lose interest and give up on those goals.
In the Achieve! Success System, not only do I line out how to create a plan for your success, but I reveal powerful key components to help make reaching your goals highly achievable and I share some big pitfalls that often trip people up on their road to success. What I’m talking about today fits right in with these concepts…
If you are only setting goals because you think you should or have to, then you are missing a key component for success and instead, allowing one of the pitfalls to creep in and most likely sabotage your likelihood of reaching your desired goal. Why? Well… “why” is exactly the reason. If your “why” for setting a goal is because you think you should and not because of a deep passion for what you value most and what you really want, then your motivation is coming from the wrong place and you’ll lose your desire to push through when things get tough. NOTE: I’m not saying that your goal is completely off, I’m saying that your why for wanting to achieve that goal may be off.
So how do you remedy this… begin with this week’s action challenge of course!
My challenge to you is to march to the beat of your own drum! Let the rhythm of your heart’s true desire be what you listen to when you decide what you want to create in your life. No more doing what everyone else is doing just because they are doing it. No more making decisions or setting goals out of guilt or shoulds. It’s time for you to get completely clear on what it is you really want in your life. Start by considering what you truly value most in your life and let that be your guide. Most importantly be sure that the reason why you choose the goals you choose are coming from listening to your own heart’s desires not someone else’s.
