Go
back in time with me. Remember back during that time you felt
your own strength? You felt brilliant in that moment. You felt
alive. You felt effective. Remember thinking, "is this
what I'm here on Earth to do"? Remember the power you felt?
Remember how nothing else seemed to matter, and there was no
debate that could stand up against you? You were right. Nothing...NOTHING
can outmatch the strength of being IN THE PULL.
We've each
encountered our own PULL once or a dozen times over the years.
And yes, the voices were real. God's grand, aint He? He patiently
keeps telling & pointing the way to our own brilliant selves.
Sometimes we listen, and sometimes it's just easier to notice
it and pass it off as a notion or a whim.
Most of
my life has been spent in the PUSH. Always coming up with
ways to motivate myself to get up and go beyond where I was
at that time. Sometimes it worked. For awhile. But I never
felt the Power of what I'm feeling now. I'm now more in the
PULL!
Yesterday
I used to make myself focus. "Focus" doesn't seem
as necessary as it once did. Yesterday I made myself set goals
that I never met. And I looked and searched for ways to move
faster. Today I can't seem to take a break from my
passion. I don't want to. Yesterday had many obstacles to figure
out and analyze and battle against. Today obstacles are still
there. But my vision can't seem to pick them up as easily as
I did then. And when I can't see 'em, golly are they really
there?
So
where inside of you is your PULL?
It's there.
Right there. Stickin' out of your WHY. My friend
you can either continue to PUSH yourself to DO something that
you're not sure is what you want to do anyway, or you can take
the advice of your 3rd grade crossing guard Miss Hipple who
told you to "STOP, LOOK & LISTEN".
Stop for
a moment and just
BE. If you don't know how, then that's a great place to
start. Take a look at who
you are, what you love, what are some of the things in life
that just Blow your skirt UP? Listen to the voice that you've
been drowning out with those noisy "yeah buts"
and "busy-busy". Let yourself Wake up a bit
more to your own authentic self!
Your
PULL is found in your Purpose. When you know what you're
here to do, when your life MEANS something, when you fall in
love with yourself and 
with the realization that life IS purposeful and has been so
all along, then you're scootchin' your rocket ship over to the
RIGHT launch pad baby! It's time to get crystal clear on your
vision. Your dream. Your purpose. You can't be fuzzy with it.
To unleash the Power of the Pull, your dreams must be in clear
view (sharply defined, so much so that you can literally see
it when you close your eyes).
Your vision,
your purpose (your WHY) holds your Power. And the more vivid
your vision, the more propelling your power.
When you
start a project from the PULL, you fall into what feels like
a magnetic field and you can't help but move forward.
When you're
living more in the PULL, something different is present. Your
life and all its choices start to take on a common characteristic.
They more and more become an outward expression of WHO YOU TRULY
ARE (vs. who you've been trying to be). Your life lines
up with you! Your actions and words become effortlessly in sync
with your convictions and values.
Try
this...
Give yourself permission to DREAM once again. You'll have to
get rid of all that mind chatter that's been hounding you all
this time. Throw it a bone or something to keep it busy for
now.
Let yourself
experience that part of yourself who's been wanting to come
out and PLAY. Listen, it's THAT part of you that holds the POWER
to move forward thru what would otherwise look like roadblocks
and obstacles. Tap your inner PULL. Hint: It lives in your
spirit, not in you mind...that's where "motivation"
lives. Your spirit is where the good stuff lives, like
FAITH & LOVE & ADVENTURE.
Go there
and find your Passion.
Go there and find your Power. Go there and find your call. Go
there and find your God.
