What do you want to show up in your life?

   “We all have dreams…We all want to believe deep down in our souls that we have a special gift, that we can make a difference, that we can touch others in a special way, and that we can make the world a better place.” emphasizes Tony Robbins in Awaken The Giant Within.  His goal is to bring us into awareness of our dreams and how to achieve them.  He explains that we need to raise our standards, change our limiting beliefs and our strategy.  Then, we need to master different areas of our life.

               What are your standards for you?  Is it possible to raise them higher and bring about the change you desire?  What limiting beliefs do you have about you?  If you want to be a famous singer but believe that you are not good enough or that no one wants to hear you, then how will you achieve this?  Lastly, if your strategy is not working for you, then how about changing it?  These are the questions to begin your journey with success!  Tony says, “You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know.  Knowing is not enough!  You must take action!”

               There are 5 areas of mastery that impact us the most; emotional, physical, relationship, financial, and time mastery.  For example, the first mastery, emotional, is the first area Tony points out because it is vital to the other 4 areas of mastery.  He asks, “Why do you want to lose weight?  Is it just to have less fat on your body?  Or is it because of the way you think you’d feel…?”  Almost everything we do is to change the way we feel.  Mastering these areas of our life will give us the space and energy to live our dream lives.  How awesome is that?

               As I begin to answer these questions for myself I realize that I am not living my dream life.  I have limiting beliefs.  I believe that I have to have a certain amount of experience before people will hear me.  I desire to be a motivational leader through writing books and blogging in lines with Pure Qualities, my company, a tool to bring more love into the lives of others.   The  truth is that I have a lot of self-help, motivational and inspirational knowledge and experience.  I even created a motivational program based on the qualities of love.  However, my limiting beliefs stop  me from talking about all I’m doing.  So, what would it take for my dream life to manifest?  What dreams do you want to manifest?  Furthermore, are you willing to go on this journey with me to dive into the 5 levels of mastery?
