I just came back from a trip from Venezuela, South America. It was an opportunity to enjoy reconnecting with old friends and family members, recreating old memories and also creating new ones. I was blessed by having the opportunity to give a huge hug to my oldest uncle, who just turned 92 and feeling great about it. Yes, he is very active with social media tools as facebook, skype and you tube. He is also very proud of his network marketing business with a world known corporation. I also had the opportunity to visit with my spiritual mentor from more than 45 years ago. It was gratifying getting to talk to him and his wife, while celebrating his 85th birthday. What a couple of great examples and role models for me to follow.
While listening to them and interacting with my siblings, friends, entrepreneurs, professionals and people from different walks of life, I noticed two types of individuals. Those who are overwhelmed by the political and economic circumstances down there, paralyzed with fear of what could happen and the facts about how things could even get worse before they get better.
What got most of my attention was also getting to know those who are focused on the things they can control on a daily basis. Their language was immersed with positive insights, optimism, current projects, possibilities, and more importantly, with lots of activities and intentional actions, doing the right thing.
The first group has the belief that is necessary to feel good, before doing the right thing. Sort of believing that feelings and emotions precede action. They will not take action towards investing in self or moving forward in life until they hear the magic words, filled with promises and hope from the government, feeling good about what they say it will happen.
The latter one, are doing the right things, therefore, they are feeling good about life and business. They have learned how to develop the right state of mind, to manage their emotions and feelings first, then, taking action accordingly.
Developing and having the right state of mind requires a clear and simple personal mission statement in life. One that is filled with the verbs that cater to your greatest passion in life. Transformational coaching is a tool that allows individuals to craft their personal mission statement, controlling their emotions, not emotions having them, controlling their actions and destiny.
Are you waiting to feel good before taking action?
Have you taken the decision to feel good first, then, taking proper actions?
You don't have to do it alone, surround yourself with the right associations. Hire the right coach, and get all the help and insights to help you manage and control your emotions, each and every day.
Be, Do, then, Have.
