The Mindset

It’s so easy to look out into the world and imagine what I would do. I’d move this, paint that, clean up this corner, and turn this wall into a mural. I’d take money from over there and put it right here. From this vantage point, where I don’t have to do anything but talk about what I “would do if I could”, life is so clear. I only see the possibility that someone else, or a committee, or the government should implement. I certainly can’t do it – I’m just one person.

I give away my power by pretending that there is anything I can’t do. From booking great gigs, to making a million dollars, to traveling anywhere in the world I want to go – first class tickets – thank you very much.

Marianne Williamson reminds us ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.”

In today’s fast-action, we will point at one thing that needs changing – and we are the only ones in the world who can and will do it. We will play big by seeing something that isn’t congruent with who we are, affecting it, and owning our power.

The Fast-Action

Today we will look around our immediate environment through the lens of congruence. We’ll spot something – inside our office area, our bedroom, our kitchen, in our car, on our computer desktop – or anywhere else we spend time.

• You knew the area that I was talking about from the second I mentioned it, right?
• Maybe you were deciding “which one”?!
• Where is the area
• Why did you choose this area?
• How long has it been that way?
• What challenges will there be in transforming it?
• What will be different – why bother?
• What are your first 3 steps and when will you do it?
• Fast-action is about sneaking up on yourself – and that’s why it works so well.
• The notes you took are there in case old habits sneak in – read them.

I’m thinking about the evolution chart between lathargic and World Domination 🙂 This is in reply to Danno’s excellent question: “How much of “fast-action” is just knocking things off your to-do list without second guessing?”
