Courage of persistence

from spiritual principles made practical's podcast · host Scott Friedman

We persist in areas that are important to us.  Sometimes it takes persistence over a long period of time to achieve our objective.  It took me over 20 years before I would allow myself to write my first book. There is a block to realizing more of my potential that I've been consciously aware of for decades.  I keep chipping away at that block by allowing myself to be increasingly spontaneous in the present moment.  Nevertheless, there is a contribution to the world I feel compelled to make that in my estimation, I'm holding back.  I am having the thouht that I need to make more progress in healing this impediment in order to keep moving forward with my life.  I am doing my best to accept where I'm at right now as I know that is the most effecient and effective way forward. As I assess where I am now, I hear a number of negative thoughts in my mind.  They include, it's not safe to be you, you're lying to yourself about the value you think you have to contribute to the world, you don't deserve to thrive at the highest level, and you haven't healed this block after years of trying, what makes you think you can do it now.  The more I accept the exisence of these and other negative thoughts, the moe space it makes for positive thoughts such as, I really do believe I and everyone else has the potential to realize their inspiration.  I know their is great value in sharing  win win solutions are an effective way to experience being ONE.  I know advancing that understanding and behavior will dramatically improve life on Earth. It takes courage to accept the negative thinking that has held me back.  Accepting the negative thoughts and choosing to proceed anyway is an act of courage and belief in myself.  I do believe in myself and the value I have to offer.  The outer world will tell me how congruent I am in that belief by its reflection back to me.  So far, the world is telling me that I have partial belief in myself and my value, with more available for me to accept. I offer thought coaching if you're inspired to work with me in becoming more conscious of your thoughts and the freedom you have to select which thoughts you believe are true and which thoughts you choose to act on.  To set up a free introductory coaching session, contact me at [email protected] My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to them on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com
