Developing A Cast Iron Vision

By Evan Sanders


A vision.

You've potentially heard of the need to develop one of these before, but I'm here to tell you exactly why you need it. Sure, developing a compelling vision for your life and what you want to do with yourself is incredibly important on many various levels, but there's a completely different reason that explains why a vision is absolutely critical for your success.

A vision is there to keep you going when everything starts to break up.

Your journey is going to be laden with challenge after challenge and you will get knocked down. That is just part of the game. You'll be tested and you may crack under pressure. Your life on occasions will get astonishingly chaotic and things will look blacker than black. Like I revealed before, this is a part of being out on the domain of life taking a run after your dreams. This is expected. The "pit" is the bit where you get to realise just how bad you want something.

But without a reason to continue on, you certainely won't.

You've got to have something that will get you up in the morning when you do not need to get out of bed. You need to have something that will make you continue working when you feel like you have exhausted every single last oz. of your energy. This vision must be grand enough to motivate you and achievable enough to keep you working your butt off.

Many others are not going to trust in what you are actually doing 100% because they can not see what you have in your brain. Your vision is going to be too much for many so it's imperitive that you protect it with all your will. You have to protect it from the critic within making an attempt to screw it up for you too. Develop a vision for yourself that will stretch you past your present bounds and is targeted on giving your greatest gifts to the world.

If you can do this and come to the table every single day willing to make grand strides towards accomplishing that goal, there isn't any telling what you may do in this world.

Life Is One Big Frying Pan. What?!

By Evan Sanders


Changing your life is hard. It's very tough. I mean, extraordinarily hard.

For anyone who really has seriously attempted to make some major changes in their life because they couldn't handle living in the same way any more, you've potentially experienced the growing pains that come along for the ride with deciding to live in another way. You are continually tested, you fail time upon time, and it's very tricky to see the world in the light of cheerfulness.

Nonetheless it does not necessarily have to be that way.

You see, people struggle with deep change because they don't know how to act when the negative emotions start bubbling up. They think that because negativity is occuring that they have got to be doing some things wrong. No! Not remotely. Actually if you're fighting and it hurts a little, you are doing things right. You're growing. You're moving past your zone of comfort.

When you're going through huge changes, you're going to come across some gruelling obstacles. Pain is going to come out to play, your interior critic is going to run free, and you are going to have some struggles. That is perfectly ok! It really means you are heading in the proper direction. Don't declare failure now when you're hurting. Keep going and see it all the way through and you will cross the finish line a transformed person.

The "Frying Pan Of Life" is all about the best way to get near enough to the discomfort to work with it without being consumed by it. When you are constructing a new life, old things really tend to trickle out and you've got to spend some time working with them. This is a normal part of the growing process. But you have got to work with them because if you don't, you run the risk of allowing the past to sabotage your dreams.

So how do you do this?

You have got to get sufficiently close to the pain and experience it without getting completely consumed by it. You have got to be pleased to bring yourself to the unpleasant places and let the thoughts and feelings and emotions swirl around you without taking you totally out of the game. When that can be done, you give yourself access to the lessons and light that are held within that dark place.

This takes some skill and a lot of practice, but if you can truly spend a decent amount of time working in these dark areas with some compassion and love, you can defrost even the coldest of hearts.
