When it comes to trying to accomplish our goals in business or in our health. I've learned that it is best to let the ego move on over and focus on our own dreams, goals and accomplishments.
Lets face it, we all have a dream! Some of us want to be a millionaire, others want to lose that last ten lbs many of us have hopes of starting a family. Whatever it is, the following "prescription" is what I always tell my clients, friends and myself! Here's the beauty in it, IT WORKS!!!! My treatment is still not yet approved by the -FDA-! I suspect it's because there are no long words that are impossible to spell on the back of a bottle!
Still, if I were to write out a course of treatment for other Ambition sufferers, it might look something like this:
Take a capsule of Reality Check. It's not about you. Whatever your strain of Ambition, channel it into a higher purpose. You are nothing more than dust-to-dust transience. Any enduring impact you hope to have can only be in reflecting God's glory and making him famous, not yourself.
Inject yourself daily with Living in the Now. Enjoy the present. Don't only crave future possible (or impossible) successes. Learn to love yourself and the journey TODAY! Not the result (hopefully tomorrow) and how quickly you can get there. Celebrate the process or you will completely miss the lessons in the NOW!
Take a double dose of Trust. God knows what he wants to do with your talents. He gave them to you. It's in his interests to position you perfectly for his beautiful purposes. Leave it to him. 'Humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.' (1 Peter 5:6)
Cut out all forms of Worry. Don't let it get to you when people are dismissive or condescending - when they won't admit that you have what it takes. Just stay calm and know that many time when people come down on you while you are in the works of creating GREAT things, it is really their own feelings of lack and low self esteem coming to the surface. Don't stress out about proving or defending yourself.
Don't worry about where others are on their path. Don't keep checking the progress of strangers or friends. There will always be people behind and ahead of you. Your journey is your journey.
Swallow all the Right Thinking you can. 'Don't think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.
In closing I would just like to say that in my own personal experience I have learned that when ego is present, fear is always close behind. No good can possibly come into play when those two things are dancing the tango. Leave them at the door and replace them with forgiveness and love.
These guidelines have helped myself and thousands of my clients. It isn't always easy to do it on your own though. I am here to support you and look forward to being a part of your health team. Lets set your goals together, then accomplish them! I wanted to make sure you knew that I am now offering skype consultations.
