How you know IT is happening

Published: April 29, 2021, 7 a.m.

If you’re like most listeners, you’re on a self-development journey. Perhaps you have a big, juicy goal or dream you want to realize. And you’re doing the work to achieve it.

 

A student asked me recently, “Does ‘doing the work’ mean a lot of paperwork?”

 

No. 

 

‘Doing the work’ focuses on what you want, saying it the way you want it, taking action that aligns with your goals, staying consistent, walking that narrow path to your excellence, and doing it consistently. 

 

That is ‘doing the work.’

 

Until the unconscious mind gets on board, it takes a lot of conscious effort to make changes. 

 

And it’s not unusual for my clients and students to do the work for a while and then begin to wonder, “Where’s my big, juicy goal? When will it happen?”

 

I’ve seen many transformation journeys, and I’ve observed patterns that serve as indicators that transformation is indeed happening and that you’re getting closer to your big goal. Here’s what you can expect on your way to realizing your big dream.

 

  • You’re going to feel better. You will feel calmer. What used to upset you won’t bother you so much.
  • You’ll find that you’re more patient with yourself and with others.
  • You’ll take responsibility for your thoughts, emotions, language, and behavior.
  • You’ll be able to communicate with others in healthier ways.
  • People will want to be around you more. Since you recognize what you can and can’t control, you’ll be less stressed out and more enjoyable to be around.
  • You will be kinder and more gentle with yourself.
  • You will begin to value yourself.
  • Random good things will happen to you — like unexpected money, job opportunities, getting a great deal, stumbling upon something new that makes you happy.
  • Life gets easier in general. Ideas and resources come into your life in seemingly effortless ways.
  • You will get more yeses than no’s.

 

This is the pattern I’ve seen over and over again. Once the above have transpired, your big goal or dream is right around the corner. The challenge will be to allow your vision to unfold in the highest way possible. 

 

My advice to you: Keep doing the work because IT is happening!
