Are you stepping out into success?

Are you stepping out into success?

Many of us think of applying the pressure as failing. ‘The pressure is coming. Oh my gosh! What

am I going to do? The pressure is coming.’ But pressure doesn’t need to be a negative: I love

this quote.

Pressure is a word that is misused in our vocabulary. When you start thinking of pressure, it’s

because you started to think of failure. Tommy Lasorda

When you stop and think about what happens in life, pressure is being applied constantly in

many different arenas. An example would be rush hour traffic that puts more and more pressure

on the highways. As the population grows more and more pressure is added. What happens? Do we,

as a society, give up and say ‘oh, well. Too Bad? It’s just going to take you that much longer

to transit into work’? Your commute time, instead of being an hour and a half, is going to be 2

hours. And in 3 years from now, it’s going to be 4 hours. Or do we take the action, as a

society, as a city, as a person and do something to relieve that pressure? Yes we do something

that will alleviate the pressure for all of that traffic coming into the downtown core.

We as a society, as a city, step into success. We do something to alleviate that pressure. We

can learn to apply that concept in our life. Instead of taking a look at the pressure as a bad

thing we can use it to build something new, a bridge to our future. Do we do what Tommy Lasorda

said-misuse that word ‘pressure’ and think of it as ‘oh, I’m going to fail, I’m going to fail’

and then give up? - or do we CHOOSE to do something different and step into our own success?

We all have habits. What is your ‘it’? What is the ‘it’ that stops you? When you start to feel

that pressure, what do you do? Next time that happens, I want you to stop and think, ‘what am I

automatically doing here’? Then decide to do something different in order to get a different

result.

When I was first introduced to this concept, I did not recognize what habit I fell into until I

was all the way in it. Stress eating was one of the things I used to do. As I learn to

recognize where that pressure point is, what my habit is, what my ‘it’ is, I, can learn how to

change it, how to react differently.

I just watched the movie ‘What the Bleep?! - Down the Rabbit Hole’. One of the concepts in the

movie is that we, as human beings, are bombarded every second with 400 billion bits of

information. We only process 2000, therefore we need to choose carefully which bits we pay

attention too. When we succumb to the pressure and fall into a negative habit, like I used to

when I was stress eating, we are selecting only a narrow negative portion of information from

the 4 billion bits..

I have decided that I am going to choose a different 2,000 bits of information. It really is

just a choice.. We need to recognize what our habits, and that we can change our habits.

Millions of people have learned how to stop the stress eating habit. Millions of people have

learned how to quit smoking. Millions and millions of people have learned how to make their

life and Starscapes.com money making opportunity better, how to

step into success. If they can do it, I can do it. If I can do it, you can do it. It’s all just

a simple choice, to make a different decision.

If you are a parent ask yourself, if you choose non-success habits, what are the habits and

passions that you are creating in your children? Are you creating a generational curse or a

generational legacy? Another great quote is “children have never been good at listening to

their elders. But they have never failed to imitate them”. by James Baldwin. Even if you aren’t

a parent what about the influence you have on the people around you?

We need to learn to recognize when we are backing off from pressure, when we are moving into

the habits that are not success habits (the ones that we need to change). We also need to

recognize the habits that we have that are good, that are leading us towards success, leading

us to our financial freedom. We need to be aware so that we can make changes in our negative

habits and reinforce our positive habits.

We need to learn to recognize that when we wish for something, ask for something, pray for

something or when we say affirmations for something, it’s not going to just happen. It’s not

going to be handed to us on a silver platter. One of my affirmations is “I am building a team

of dream achievers” Now, I know that that is going to take patience and perseverance and that

this whole team of dream achievers are not just going to be dumped in my lap. I have to go

looking for them and attract them into my life.

As I go down the personal development journey and build my money

making opportunities from home I come up against pressure points all the time. When I think

back to the pressure points in my life last year at this time versus this year - whoa! - last

year’s ones seem really simple now. What happens? We are not given exactly what we want right

off the bat. But we are given the opportunity to develop the skills so that we get better. On

my journey, I am becoming a better team leader. I am practicing my patience and my perseverance

in my own learning so that I become that better learner that attracts, using the Law of Cause

and Effect, that team of dream achievers, the team of business builders.

When that pressure is applied in our lives, patience and perseverance, is what we need in order

to grow through that pressure point. Once we do grow and find different habits to allow us to

get past that pressure point, to allow us to develop the skills, to learn those new things that

we need to learn, we come to a better place and we can handle more pressure. We have new

skills. We know something different. We react in a different away. We remain patient. We

practice the perseverance and can step into success.

Are you applying enough pressure? Are you stepping out into success? Take a look at your

habits. What do you do when the pressure hits? Are you giving yourself the opportunity to

develop a new skill, to become even better than you already are? I would love to hear about

those experiences.. Send me an email at Carla at retirewithcarla.com or give me a phone call at

the things that you have done differently?
