Clutter+Confusion=Calamity

Clarity

Winners achieve their goal because they have clarified what that goal is be before they have taken any action. Their first step is identifying the goal. Not just what it is but how it looks and feels. They create a vision with that goal clearly established. So often, confusion is what stops us from taking action.

Confusion is the results of not having made a plan for where you want to go. Or maybe you have not yet decided where you are going, which adds more fuel to the confusion pot. How will you find the answer? It will be necessary for you to do some research into your wants bank. Not your needs but your wants. It might help for you to know the difference between your wants and your needs.
Your wants are like a wishing well, you throw wishes into the well and hope they will come true. these wants may be like a desire, they are like a nagging child, pulling on you to fulfill the desire. These wants could be a shiny new object like a new car or a more tangible one like a romantic relationship.
Either way, it will take making a plan to accomplish results on receiving the wants.

Champions achieve their vision because they know what they want. They have a vision that keeps them motivated and focused.

People you constantly succeed, have a clear, and thoughtful vision. They are clear about what they need to do and when they need to do it. They have a written plan or map so that hey can stay on course and avoid any roadblocks that hinders them from reaching their vision. They see it clearly, they feel it, and experience it in their minds and hearts.

What is your dream success? Your ticket to get there lies in your clarity. It depends on your clearly established, detailed, written plan of action to achieve your goal.

I Don’t Do Math

I Don't Do MathIn designing the six series of blogs to follow, I was surprised with myself for creating these equations: Problem: Clutter + Confusion = Calamity Solution: Clarity + Focus + Control = Calm-anity The reason I was surprised is because I have spent a lifetime avoiding anything to do with math. When I was a child in grade school, it was my older brother that was assigned the chore of helping me with my homework. He hated the job. He would do the problem and then immediately wad the paper up and throw it away. I was expected to remember how to do it. The tears would come and my brain would freeze up. Right then and there I was certain I was dumb.

This was a belief I hung onto until I was forced to learn to multiply when I was a grown woman trying to pass a real estate exam. We were not allowed to use adding machines at that time and calculators had not been invented. However, my first thought when anything to do with math comes up still, is, “I don’t do math!” Along with the reinvention of “Joci” I learned about my inner strengths. I have long since come to believe that I am no longer dumb but that I have become a wise woman. The articles addressing Problems will be: 1. Clutter 2. Confusion 3. Calamity The articles addressing Solutions will be: 1. Clarity 2. Focus 3. Control And the sixth one called: CALM-ANITY  – a word I coined to describe the Ahhhh! feeling that comes with being in the state of calm and yet be able to take action. Look for the series coming soon.

Imagineering

When we are having thoughts about how we picture our life, it can be described as practical dreaming. Or as it is said of Walt Disney when he was dreaming of the theme park he created for millions to enjoy, he was “Imagineering.”

Have you ever wondered what would happen if we made it our daily endeavor to picture our life as we have dreamed it could be? That you might already possess gifts of inner treasures that would make this picture a reality?

Before you start doubting that you already possess these treasures, give yourself a chance to be your own Detective and do some Imagineering by tapping into the positive power of humor. By doing this, you can create a more caring relaxed atmosphere. This allows the possibilities that you do possess unique gifts that are waiting to be discovered.

You might wonder what is holding you back from doing something as basic as this – looking for the ideal in yourself and the one’s around you, looking for strengths and gifts that you already have to enhance this picture.

It could be that those life strengths have not been discovered, that you might want to start a treasure hunt to uncover them.

The following strategies are ways to be inspired by your ability to be to become an effective Strength Detective with Imagineering.

  1. Focus on changing how you respond in situations of challenge.
  2. Bring a sense of playfulness into your life each day.
  3. Find the humor in frustrating moments.
  4. See every opportunity as chance to use your inner strengths.
  5. View life as a fun adventure.
  6. Expand your capacity to demonstrate patience.
  7. Choose to be enthusiastic and caring.

By using these strategies, you can count on having more days of joy surrounding you. In the process you will create an atmosphere of creativity, spontaneity and trust. This will begin when you realize your gifts of inner strengths are becoming a reality. When you learn to implement these gifts and use them for good for yourself and others, you will truly transform your life as you have known it. The picture you painted of your life is no longer a water color that can be washed away with those pesky doubts; it is painted in oil that will be lasting to eternity.

Pick Your Passion, Or…..Pick Your Poision

Fortunately, as a rule, it is not difficult to find something that you are passionate about.  Just think about the things that you like to do; things that are fun, things that seem to come to you naturally. You are free to choose whatever you choose. You are not defined by the passions you choose, but by how you choose to act on them. When you fail to embrace and cherish them, you will not become known by them. When you choose to settle for less than what you know you can achieve, it will be like a slow poison.

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive.”  – Dr Howard Thurman.

Passion is a driving force to some activity, object, or concept.  It is the spark that ignites the flame to illuminate the path to your road to success. Without passion, the road will become dark.  You will encounter road blocks, direction, focus and desire.

When there is passion in your life, you will know you have truly lived. Find your passion in your life, become it, let it become you. You will find great things will happen for you and those you encounter.

When there is a question about how you know what your passion might be, always go back to what you like to do, what gives you pleasure. Now, there might be some confusion if you think, “But what if I have so many things I am interested in that I can’t narrow it down?”  In this case, you would still go back to what you like to do the most, the one that can maintain your interest and keep you true to yourself.

Ignite Your Passion:

  • Focus on what is fun and meaningful for you.
  • Start noticing what interests you.
  • Accept your passion as being who you are.
  • Activate you inner strengths
  • Keep true to yourself.
  • Ask yourself, “What makes me come alive?”

“Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you and you will find great things happen to you and because of you.”  – Alan Armstrong.

When you choose to let your passion and dreams go dormant, you have chosen a slow poison.  Flip the switch!  illuminate your path with the flame of your passion.

Check in with your true spirit. Listen to what your heart tells you. Pursue the things that not only catch your eye, but the ones that catch your heart. You will never let that flame of passion die. The poison of inactivity will not darken your path.

Start mining for the pieces of gold that are your inner strengths, the “nudges” you get when you feel like you are grinning from the inside out. These “nudges” will be your true spirit with a message to follow your passion.
