Somewhere inside, we hear a voice. It leads us in the direction of the person we wish to become. But it is up to us whether or not to follow.
–Pat Tillman, former NFL player
“You’re not the first psychic who’s said I’m on the brink of something big.” I’ve had multiple clients say that or something similar to me. They usually follow it up with, “But when is it going to happen?”
Guess what—big change doesn’t typically happen on its own. And if it does, we don’t usually like it because it comes in the form of the death of a loved one, a cancer diagnosis, a surprise divorce or getting fired.
Positive Change with a capital C is up to us. You can’t win the lottery if you don’t buy a ticket. Even then, you probably won’t win, but you know what I mean.
Who do you want to be at the end of your life? What do you want others to say about you? What compliment would blow you away if you overheard it after your death? She was the most spiritual person I ever met. Or He loved his family more than seemed possible. Or Did you know she’s the one who invented the next best thing since cold canned beer (or sliced bread or the paper napkin or whatever you consider the pinnacle of achievement)? Or maybe Secretly, he and his wife were philanthropists along the lines of Andrew Carnegie or Dolly Parton.
What is the voice inside you leading you to become? What big step do you need to take to become that person? What small step can you make in the direction of that big step?
When all is said and done, more is said than is ever done. What action can you take right this minute to follow the voice within you?
