The Essence of Taking Risks to Reach Goals

When we take risks, sometimes we win and sometimes we learn.

Will you take the chance?

When we take risks, others will offer their opinions. They don’t have a clue what is going on in our minds that have brought us to the place of taking risks to reach our goals.

Taking their opinions above our own is just plain silly. We listen carefully to what they say, because there may be a nugget of truth which can add value to our own opinion and we thank them for offering it. We value, however, our own adjusted opinion above all others so that we can win …and not merely learn.

We don’t take risks when we don’t believe we can reach our goals, this is where confidence in the SOURCE of our goals becomes of optimum importance. If a goal doesn’t fit us it is most likely because it is somebody else’s goal.

Before you take the chance, get guidance.

The primary tool of having confidence in any goal is to ask the question, is this goal for me? If it is for me I will be shown – as a risk taker, I expect to be shown BEFORE I take the risk. Once shown I believe in the SOURCE which I call our SPIRIT-PARENT to lead me through and around every single obstacle.

The single biggest obstacle to accomplishing what I have been shown, and is for me, is not believing sufficiently in the SOURCE which, again, is what I refer to as our SPIRIT-PARENT to direct me and guide me which:

  1. Allows fear of rejection of getting what I’ve been shown is fitting and the best thing for me by our SPIRIT-PARENT and HER/HIS/ITS total willingness to give me that in total abundance.
  2. I allow the opinions of others to have higher priority than my own adjusted opinion.
  3. I allow my joy and gratitude of, and for, being connected to our SPIRIT-PARENT to wane; forgetting that joy and gratitude are the primary points of connection.

Have you met joy and gratitude yet?

With regard to (3) above, many of us wait for something to happen before we have joy and gratitude, because that is what we are programmed to do …the parental instruction is ringing in my ears, “say thank you, dear” after receiving a gift.

Those of us who have learned to practice expressing gratitude and joy as a means to connect with our SPIRIT-PARENT, by whatever other title or name, in the midst of feeling disconnected …whether that is just a feeling or actual is beside the point, it breaks through all the distractions that keep us from getting into the zone where we can feel, hear and sense the presence of SPIRIT.

Publisher Ryan Bruce and I are committed to sharing tools that help increase our joy and gratitude as a precursor to receiving …and there is no risk, other than being outside our comfort zones. It reminds me of the story of the wayward son who was afraid to return home – only to find out that his Dad was running toward him to fully restore him into the family.

Unlock your gratitude with your imagination...it's key to your success.

If you need it, here is a starting clue: Think of something you already have for which you are grateful – and instead of merely allowing your feeling of gratitude to well up inside you, direct your expression of gratitude toward the SOURCE of all good things.

People who commit to this as a practice exercise and begin to do it often are amazed to discover that feelings of happiness and joy are triggered. Go ahead, risk it; it is between the SOURCE and you and nobody else need know what you are doing.

Others will begin to notice that you have a whole new attitude about life; continuing the practice increases abundance in every area of life including, but not limited to better health and the confidence that you can get and do everything that you are shown is for YOU!
