"Why am I stuck?...
I really want to change... I know I've got what it takes."
Have you ever heard a friend or relative say this?
Or have you ever asked yourself?
To some degree, we're all stuck in self-limiting habits that prevent us
from moving forward and being our best. But how do you get "unstuck"?
Well, forget about writing out your goals, personal statement, or vision
for a moment.
You'll struggle to attain them if you don't do anything toward meeting your
personal needs first.
Whilst we all have the same physical needs for survival, your personal
needs are specific to you. They are the emotional requirements *you* need
satisfied to be your true self. To be your best.
Of course, in our cultures where being selfish has such a negative
connotation, most of us feel uncomfortable or guilty just thinking about
our personal needs.
But this is about taking care of yourself first so you can better take care
of others.
Paraphrasing Jim Rohn in 'The Art Of Exceptional Living': It's not "I'll
take care of you if you take care of me" but "I'll take care of Me for you,
if you take care of You for me".
Food for thought...
Tomorrow, we'll look at how you can get your personal needs met quickly
and easily.
