Be Encouraged

Do you have anxiety about whats next?

Do not worry about what you “should” be doing or where others think you “should” be. Worrying is wasteful. When people worry it is only because something is out of their control at that moment. Focusing too much on timeframe is torment to yourself. You cannot control time.

Worrying causes anxiety. Anxiety is a hindrance derived from fear. It is worrying about the unknown in an unknown timeframe. In other words, anxiety is fearing what is next. Worrying is detrimental to your future progression. Focusing on the things you can control in this moment is how you can defeat fear.

I cannot see

Without sight, one is lost. Sight is understanding and perceiving. Being able to perceive is a trait of a leader. A leader must be able to analyze and understand a situation. Without understanding one is blind. Blindness causes fear, anxiety, stress, lack of understanding and lack of direction. Overall, being blind cause stagnation. It is difficult to move without direction or understanding. Sight is crucial to enhancing one’s life. To be able to develop sight you first have to understand who you are, and where you want to go. This is just the first step to gaining sight.

Do you want something different?

A traditional mindset is bondage. Why would you want to think the same way and handle every situation the same way as your parents or friends. Be your own individual. Be willing to change to change. To have something different be someone different. © Anastasia Chapman

Who are you?

Knowing who you are is powerful. Identity is what takes you to the next level. Identity is a form of transportation. It will take you where you need to be. Who you are speaks volumes. When you have a sense of identity you have a measuring rod. A measuring rod that tells you what your style is, what things you personally like, what career you should have and etc.

Without identity, you are lost and confused. Being lost and confused causes you to be a fraud and incomplete and stagnant. You bounce from job to job, relationship to relationship, clique to clique, to and fro or you have an incomplete void looking for something or someone to fill it. It is very difficult if not impossible to live your entire life as a fraud/imposter.

How do you get identity? Identity is found in the secret place, the foundation of yourself. Who are you alone? If you had all the money and had every materialistic thing you could imagine what would or who would you be?

Create the life you want

Don’t talk about it, be about it. Talking is just lip service. It’s like making a business deal without a contract. The contract is the proof or binding force that creates an action of carrying out the “talk”. A contract is a commitment. A commitment produces an action. Just like we learned in school from Newton, “Every action creates an equal and opposite reaction”. If you want to see a profit, change, weight loss, or etc commit to an action that will create the reaction you want. How you react to that reaction is the art of creation. This is how you create the life you want.

Secret to Motivation

To understand the secrets to motivation you must first understand what motivation is. Many people think that motivation is a “thing” that gets someone to do something. In other words, many believe to become motivated there has to be a stimulus such as a speaker, song, and etc. The truth is motivation is only internal. One is only motivated by personal values. An individual speaker or song cannot motivate someone. The person cannot motivate. They have to touch an individual personal value to motivate. Motivation is a “reason” someone acts or behaves a certain way. A motivational speaker or song has to give a “reason” that correlates with one’s values to be effective in motivating. Personal values are things that one values. Personal values give us direction. We will either protect and honor our values or complain about how something or someone is violating our values. Either way, we respond to our values.
The secret to motivation is to focus on your values. Constantly remind yourself of your value. When values are provoked one will be motivated to defend them. What do you value?

Foundation

The best way to discover your purpose or who you are is to find your intentions. Intentions can motivate you and sometimes your motivation comes from your intentions. Intentions is a plan or aim for something. Therefore, intentions can be for good or bad. If we keep our intentions aligned with our values, we can discover who we are. The true question is why? Why do you do what you do? Sometimes our intentions are wrong or not aligned with our values. This is why we should evaluate our motives and get to the foundation of our intentions. This is where your true self is. ©2021

Limitations

Limitation is a mindset that supports a belief one has been influenced by. Being limited or “feeling” limited simply means your perspective needs to change or broaden. Limitation is another word for thinking inside the box. The solution to this is to simply think until you are outside the box. How do you know when you are out of box? When you create an opportunity that gets you out of the box or when you have hope.

Employ Fear

A lot of us allow fear to reign over certain areas of our lives. We fear being great, we fear failure, we fear rejection and etc. Clearly, if we are allowing fear to keep us stagnant then we have the wrong perspective or belief of fear. We must stop being an employee of fear and be the employer. Employ fear in your life. Allow fear to motivate you in the right direction. Change how you see your employee (Fear). You are being fearful of the wrong things. You should fear not trying, not chasing your dreams, not being mediocre, and etc. Fear should be helping motivate you to pursue the best you, you can be. You have the roles all wrong, fear should work for you!

~Fear should cause growth not cause stagnation~

The power of tradition

Having a traditional mindset is a state of mind that is stuck in a certain perspective. A traditional mind is a stubborn mind. It takes a lot to change a stubborn mind because it is comfortable. Being in a state of comfort is the most difficult thing to change. People will not change while they are comfortable; they have no reason to. The only way to get someone to change their way of thinking is to make them uncomfortable. In other words, you have to show them that their perspective or way of doing things is not truly producing the results they claim they want. When someone realizes what they are doing isn’t working they will either quit or search for another way. When they begin searching, this means they are willing to change. Searching will eventually lead them out of tradition.
