It suddenly becomes more probable.
Truth.
A few years back I considered publishing a book. I didn't know where to start. Then I "happened" to run into someone I knew who had a marketing background. I asked them a couple of questions. The next thing I knew, I was connected with a graphic artist and the journey began. One dream. One question, and the momentum began. The momentum grew and the connections seemed to start appearing. Truly, once you consider something possible, it does become more probable. For real.
The simple act of allowing yourself to dream, or believe that something is possible, actually opens the door to making it a reality.
Your conscious mind, you know, the one that tends to chatter at you and have all kind of opinions, is actually the director of what goes on behind the scenes. It's like dropping a pin in your navigational app. It sets your direction. The unconscious mind then takes it from there. It starts to scan for ways to make that thing happen for you.
You can call it woo woo if you’d like and, respectfully, you’d be wrong.
Ever have an experience where you purchased something, lets say a new car. What happens next? All of a sudden, all you see on the roads around you is the same car that you bought. What happened? Did everyone else all of a sudden decide to purchase the same car? Nope. Those cars have been there all along. What changed then? You. Your brain is now noticing what was already all around you.
This is how dreaming about, or believing that you can have or achieve something, can work. Once you make that decision, your brain will scan to find opportunities for you.
Be skeptical. And then try it!
Any possibility starts with the willingness to believe and then taking a small step...
Let's get to it...
Your challenge for the next week...
What are you waiting to do, "when"?
Most people I meet will tell me about something they're planning on doing "when they retire, the kids are older, they've hit some specific milestone that they've created, or they have a certain amount of $$$ etc.".
What's the thing that you say you'll do 'when'?
Take some time to dream. Yes, dream. What's your dream? Believe it or not, you're limited mostly by your attitude and how you look at things.
The idea that there's going to be a perfect time may be the biggest lie you're telling yourself. Life will continue to happen, like it always does - with zero guarantees.
What exactly are you waiting for? Make a list of the reasons you have to wait. The reasons may be varied but often, the theme is: It's just not possible now.
Now challenge your list. Yes, question it.
What's one thing you could do right now to move you one step closer to that "thing" you've been putting off "until..."?
Take one step, it could be asking someone you know who has already done this thing to chat with you; or it could be to look it up on the internet and see what's already out there.
Remember...Any possibility starts with the willingness to believe and then taking the first small step...
