“Even when we seem to be hung up on what to do or how to do it this hang-up is rarely the real problem. The problem is we don’t have the strength to do what will make us happy. It is hard for us to admit to ourselves that we don’t have what it takes so we tend to rationalize, to weep and wail about not knowing what to do or how to do it. As much as we may complain, we usually know that what we lack is not the know-how, but the strength.” William Glasser, M.D., from Positive Addiction

How true is this!?!

I know I can get lost in the details of how am I going to do that, and what about that, and I don’t know if I can really do that, I don’t have what it takes. And, Glasser is so right, it isn’t about how I am going to do something, it is all about my strength, or lack of.

When I am all up in my stuff, not knowing how to do something, the reality is I just don’t have the courage to go for what will make me happy and what I want to do! I get lost in the details without ever really moving going forward!! Then, I rationalize well I am not sure that is how I want to do it. I am getting ready and aiming, aiming, aiming aiming and never have the strength to fire!

So, this is something I am currently working on right now in my life. When I know what I want, I usually have at least one idea of what the next step, and if I am honest I usually know more than just one. So, I am taking it courageously and confidently.

For example I have wanted to teach a Goddess Training class for awhile now. I have been in the fitness industry for over 10 years! Yet, I felt I wasn’t ready, I didn’t know how I would incorporate all of the things I have learned into a class!

In the past that would have stopped me, but this time I pitched the idea to a Yoga studio here in Bali and he put me on the schedule and I had to get it together in 3 days! And, I totally rocked it and it felt amazing and I am currently doing Goddess Training’s two times a week and the women love it! :)

I am committed to continually cultivating my strength! What about you? Is there something that you have been putting off because you aren’t ready!?! Develop the strength and go for it! :)
