The
Success Solution: How You May be Preventing Your Own Success
Recently
I worked with a client who found himself in a couple of situations
many of us have either experienced, or fear experiencing. He
called me, feeling down, frustrated and anxious about his
future. In the same week, he was laid off at work and
experienced the end of a six-year relationship. Ouch!
As
we explored his situation, we discovered a couple of things.
First, he really didnt like his job and it was not leading him
towards the financial success he desired. And second, the
relationship that ended was an unhappy one for quite some time.
Yet, he wanted to hold on to both of them and felt upset over what
had occurred.
You
see, many of us find ourselves in similar situations in life.
We have something that isnt quite what we want, but if we were to
lose it great fear and insecurity arises.
Why?
There
are two forces that drive your life and prevent you from really
having what you desire: Attachments and aversions.
We
become attached to what is comfortable for us; things that give us a
false sense of having what we want; things that temporarily make us
feel better for brief moments only to leave us feeling rotten
later. These attachments can include unfulfilling jobs,
relationships that lack passion, bad habits such as smoking or
overeating, and thousands of other possibilities.
Our
attachments often prevent us from making the space in our life to
have what we really desire. If life is a buffet, we have our
plates full of food we dont really like meaning there isnt any room
for dessert.
Hanging
on to that unfulfilling job for its false sense of security
prevented this man from finding work he feels excited about doing or
starting a business of his own. His attachment to the mediocre
relationship prevented him from exploring new possibilities and
meeting someone who really loved him, and someone he really loved in turn.
We
he saw this for himself, his energy took a dramatic turn in the
positive direction. He saw new opportunity in his life instead
of fear and loss. This one simple realization could likely
change the course of his entire life.
We
also have aversions. These are the things in life that feel
uncomfortable to us. It could be making an important phone
call, or asking out someone we are really attracted to, or getting in
front of a room and sharing our brilliance. Aversions prevent
us from moving forward, taking action and manifesting what we
desire. Aversions prevent you from acting on your immense potential.
What
are attachments and aversions and how can we overcome them?
Attachments
and aversions are nothing more than feelings. Many of us say I
am frustrated, but the truth is I feel frustrated. I am having
a feeling; I am not the feeling.
There
is a wonderful technique called the Sedona Method that teaches a
simple set of techniques that allow us to effortlessly let go of any
unwanted thought or feeling any attachment or aversion. With
these blocks removed, you will feel more confidence, more at ease and
more willing to take the bold actions that produce success.
We
can fight and struggle and force our way to success. We really
can. I know. I have done it. But ultimately it is a
hard, stressful, frustrating journey. I think you know what I mean.
Or
we can learn to easily overcome the resistance that creates a flow
to life. When we overcome our attachments and aversions, we
become truly free to be, do and have whatever we desire. Its
easy. It really is.
I
encourage you to learn more about any program that teaches you to
let go. It is the most powerful personal development tool I
have ever learned. My favorite program on the market is the
Sedona Method course the original and still the best program of its
kind. The link below offers a free newsletter to learn more,
and you can also order a free introductory tape that includes a
demonstration of one of the basic releasing techniques they
teach. I encourage you to experience this program for yourself
and discover the exhilarating possibility of true freedom from your
attachments and aversions.
Wishing
you all the success and abundance you can allow into your life,
