Getting Friendly with Your Monsters
simple steps to stop what’s stopping you
Most of us carry around a dream for our lives. Having a dream is wonderful. It drives us forward. And in some ways, it is not so much the attainment of the dream itself that is the most important, but rather the fact that we are actively on the path towards it. We feel energised by the knowledge that we are living a vibrant, dynamic life that is moving one step closer towards our ultimate fulfilment every day.
Sometimes our dream is quite definable. We might be dreaming to find the ideal relationship, the ideal career or the ideal holiday. Perhaps we dream of having a best selling book (gosh, that’s my dream, for sure!). But sometimes, our dream is simply to find to courage to step into being the person we secretly know we are at heart, but have been afraid to show to the world. What is tragic is when we have this dream, and we never find the courage to act upon it, believing we are powerless for whatever reason. We might fear the judgement of others, or we might fear failure. We might be convinced that we are never “good enough” to be or to achieve what we really want. We might fear rejection, or we might even fear success itself, fearing that we may lose those who are close to us if we become the person we really wish to be.
I believe that all of these kinds of dreams comprise our “hero’s call” to our life purpose. And just like any hero, we encounter all kinds of “monsters” along the way before we reach the treasure we seek. In this case, our “monsters” are our self-perceived limitations. I say “self-perceived” because what I have learned, both in my own life and in working with clients, is that these kinds of limitations are seldom, if ever, founded in reality. However, they feel real to us simply because they are things we have come to believe about ourselves. Over the years, we have convinced ourselves we have these limitations or restrictions. We might even rationalise that we are being “responsible” to limit ourselves because we have family obligations. Thus, believing we are the powerless victims of fate or circumstance-or of other human beings-we never bother to take up the call to our own lives. Imagine if, due to your fears, you came to the end of your life, and you realised that you had never even started on your own hero’s journey. To me, this would be the ultimate tragedy in life.
I feel so passionately about this topic that everything I do, in one form or another, is focussed upon helping people get on, and stay on, the path to their life purpose, so they can attain their ultimate dream whatever that may be. One way I do that is through my course “Making Friends with the Monsters Under Your Bed”, where I teach people a 5-step model for understanding what a monster is, how it works, how to recognise one, and ultimately how to make changes to your consciousness so you can finally step into your authentic Self, and be the person you really wish to be, and who you know you are.
I’d like to invite you to my FR*EE teleseminar “Making Friends with the Monsters Under Your Bed” on Wed 18 February at 8 PM UK time, where I will introduce you to this model, so you can take away some useful tips right away. If you are looking to overcome your own monsters and become the hero of your own life, or if you are looking for a practical method to help your kids, students or clients do the same, check out this teleseminar.
