I Can't Do It All!

No, you can’t! So many people think that to be really successful in this life, they have to do it all. They think they have to be able to handle everything and do everything. It isn’t true! Do you want to be successful, but find that you just can’t do it all?

The desire to be successful

I understand the desire to be successful and I think it is good! You should want to succeed in whatever it is you do. You should have the desire to make a difference, but that desire has to be tempered to some degree.

If being successful means that you literally kill yourself health wise because you won’t ever slow down, is it worth it? If you lose your family or relationships because you are never around or you are grouchy when you are there, is it worth it?

The desire to be successful is what has given us everything good in life, but you have to do it right!

Understanding limits and limitations.

I am going to sound somewhat contradictory here, but I need to clarify some things.

You determine your limitations. You decide what it is you can and cannot do. Sure, some of your limitations may be real. You may have a physical handicap that keeps you from being an Olympic athlete, but still, you make that decision. If you wanted to say that your handicap was not going to limit you and you were going to try and compete, then the limitation is just what you make it.

Many of our limitations are in our mind only. We think we are not capable of doing something when that is not true at all. We have only accepted the limitation that our mind came up with.

Now, having said all that, you also must understand that there are certain limitations that you must work with. You cannot be in two places at the same time. You cannot do two things at once, no matter what multitasking people say. You can do two things side by side in the same time frame, but you can only work on one at a time. You may switch back and forth, but you can’t do two at once!

If you try to do everything, and do it well, you will soon find yourself becoming very frustrated and stressed. You cannot be everything and do everything.

What to do about it!

The first thing I would suggest is to prioritize your tasks. What is the most important thing you have to do? Do that first! Set a time limit and go to it. Get it done. When you have finished that task, go to the next one. Just keep going.

The next thing I would suggest is to delegate. What absolutely has to be done by you? Now you have to be careful here. Remember, you can’t do it all so pick those things that have to be done by you and let go of the rest. I know so many people who mistakenly think that they have to do each task in order for it to be right.

When you decide what can be done by someone else, delegate it. Let someone else do the task and you can monitor the job. If you have employees, this is easy. Give the task to one of them. If you don’t have employees, but can afford to hire temporary help, do that. If you can’t do that ask friends and family to help you with whatever it is.

The last thing I would suggest is to think of ways that the task can be done differently. Let’s say that it is combining housekeeping with an at home business. Instead of trying to do both all the time, can you designate certain hours of the day to one thing and other hours to the other task? Perhaps it isn’t hours of the day, but days of the week that can be assigned.

I want you to be successful, but I don’t want you to stress out over it or become burned out so that you stop doing anything. Learn what you can and can’t do and then get help!

Here’s to You!

P.S. I found a blog post by Seth Godin entitled You Rock that I think says some of the same things. Check out Seth’s post!

Playing it Safe

To begin with, I want to say that I am not advocating that you begin to live a reckless, dangerous manner. I don’t think you should skitching behind a city bus or joining the run of the bulls at Pamplona. What I am saying is that living a life that is fearful and always playing it safe, could be a block to success in life.

What do I mean by playing it safe?

I mean being afraid to risk anything. I once knew a man who would never step outside his own comfort zone. This guy would think that eating at a different restaurant was being adventurous!

He lived a miserable life. He desperately wanted to live more fully, but he was afraid to try anything new or attempt much of anything at all. One day that all stopped. He stepped outside his little comfort box and risked something he thought quite daring. It wasn’t all that bold, but to him it might as well been skydiving naked. What happened was that even though his heart was pounding, everything turned out fine. He lived. In fact, he felt more alive than he had in quite some time! Soon he was taking risks and venturing out into his world as if it were a brand new place.

What is the way to success?

The way to success is standing out from the crowd and daring to be a little different. The inventor who risks making something that no one else could imagine is the one who succeeds. The marketer, who is not afraid to offer her product, even though no one else has one like it, often corners the market.

The way to success is not the way of cowards. People like Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, are not afraid to stop playing it safe and step out a bit. Successful people are often those who sell all their possessions to forge ahead with their dream, they burn their bridges behind them, even when others tell them they are crazy. There is a story about Cortez who, once his army had landed on enemy soil, ordered the burning of their boats. The soldiers had two choices, be defeated and die, or win and live. They chose the latter.

Would you burn your boat? Are you willing to bet everything on your future? If not, then I might ask how badly you want to succeed. How much do you want that dream? Are you willing to pay the cost of success?

Who do you admire?

Who are your heroes? Who are the people you admire? Are they different than you, more talented or smart, or are they just more dedicated to their vision? Study their qualities and then emulate them. Playing is safe may have gotten you where you are today, but where will it leave you tomorrow?

I am a part of the Infinite

Yesterday, I wrote a post about Does God Exist and What That Has To Do With Life Change, what that has to do with creating our lives and becoming who we desire to be. Life change can be hard, but with a connection to the Infinite Source of all things, it can be a whale of a lot easier. Here is a podcast I did to help you understand that we are a part of this Infinite Source.

Not only does the Infinite exist, but we are integrally connected to this Infinite. As we consider what that might mean in our lives, we begin to understand that it is more that we ever imagined.

Here’s to You!

P.S. If you would like to increase the flow of the Infinite in your life, Become who you desire to be and let go of limiting beliefs, here is a guided meditation I created to help you do that.

Does God Exist?

Does God Exist

The short answer is yes. The long answer is not in the way most people think. God does not exist as some old Grandpa type sitting on a throne in the sky laughing maniacally up his flowing sleeves about how he is going to send someone to everlasting damnation. Some people may be comfortable with this view of God, but I am not!

I prefer to call what most people call God, the Infinite. Why? Well, there are several reasons. One reason is that the term God has been used throughout the centuries, the millennia, to justify all sorts of un-God-like things. War, slavery, rape, bigotry and a whole list of other charming things have been and are still being committed in God’s name.

Another reason is that God seems to me to be very short of what the Infinite is. The Infinite is Infinite power. Infinite wisdom, Infinite intelligence, Infinite love, Infinite anything you can think of; anything you can think of that is good.

But you don’t know if you believe in God!

You may not. What you really might think is that there might be something called God, but what that is you are not sure. That’s called being an agnostic. Join the club! Only those who have created God in their own image can really have a handle on what the Infinite really is.

What this has to do with Life Change.

I can tell you from personal experience that life change can be very tough. It can be nearly impossible to do alone. Unfortunately, you can also have a hard time inviting others to help you. They begin to want you to change according to what they feel you should be, not what you desire to be.

Receiving strength and help from the Infinite can be the determining factor! Now, before you go off thinking I am talking about prayers and then waiting for the great HooHoo in the sky to bless you from above with everything you want, stop! When I say receive, I mean knowing that the Infinite wants for you the things you desire, your deep desires because they are put there by the Infinite. No, I don’t mean that the Infinite wants you to have sex with your neighbor’s cat, like you dream about, I mean those desires that turn you from the person you are now to the creation you are meant to be.

When you begin to recognize the Infinite and that you are a part of this stream of power, love and goodness, it makes changing your life so much easier. You look for the guidance that you know will come, you act on the opportunities that appear and you know that it is not from some mythical creature, but from the Infinite.

Where I am

My wife and I were enjoying a nice scotch last night and talking about this and I was saying that it seems that there are generally, three kinds of people, when talking about spiritual kinds of stuff.

There are those who do not believe in any sort of supreme power or intelligence. They believe that we are on our own and that is it!

There are those who have the more traditional view of God. They understand the Infinite to be out side of our immediate experience and somewhat ambivalent to us. God will do what God will do.

Then there are those who believe that there is something much greater than us our there, but what that really is, they are not completely sure. They are seeking connection and direction, but also to understand their own position in the whole thing.

I come from the last position. God exists. The Infinite exists. What that has to do with Life Change is everything since we are a part of that Infinite Source and it is a part of us.

If I haven’t pissed you off too bad or made you laugh at my silliness in believing in the great HooHoo, then join me in this great adventure called life!

Here’s to You!

P.S. Woo! Touchy subject! Leave a comment. Let me know what you think. Tell me I’m heretic (you won’t be the first) or have great insight. I’m here to help you and I can’t do that if I don’t hear from you!

life sucks!

Is this where you are? You feel like you have no control over your life and everything you do turns out wrong. You might be surprised to know that there are a lot of people that say the same thing. “Who am I? My life sucks,” is not uncommon! You are not alone.

Let’s put some things in perspective.

Your life might be pretty bad. I have no way of knowing how bad things are for you. What I do know is that they can improve. I know that no matter how bad things get, two things can happen. One, they can get worse. Two, they can get better. The good news is; you have some say in which one.

Our lives, you life, my life, everyone’s life is made up of what we believe about it, what we think about it and what we do about it. That means you have some control. No, you don’t have control over other people, and really, not even about much of what happens to you. What you do have control over is what you think. You can think that everything is going to hell in a hand basket, or you can think that things are getting better. The choice is yours!

Who are you?

This one is not as hard as you might think. You are the combination of what you believe about yourself, think about yourself, and what you do in life. That’s it! That’s who you are right now today.

Who do you want to be?

That’s a bigger question! Who do you want to be? If you think,” My life sucks,” then my guess is that you don’t want to continue to be who you are. If you really think about it, who do you want to be? What would your life look like if you could be and do anything with no restrictions or limitations? What kind of person would you be? Where would you live? What sort of job would you do?

You see, I know that you can change. I know that you can be whoever and whatever it is you want. The choice is yours. I also know that it might be one of the hardest things you have ever done to change. I also know that once you do, you will feel better than you ever have before. As you become the person you dream about and think about, you will be happier. We all want to be who we were created to be.

Why not live your dreams?

When you have that picture in your mind of who you want to be, why not give it a shot? Why not try to be more like that person. Why not stop wondering, “Who am I?” and know. Why not stop thinking, “My life sucks,” and do something about it? I mean, if your life really sucks, what have you got to lose?

Here’s to You!
