The month of October has arrived and reminds us that we have three more months left of this year. There is still time to achieve your goals. What have you been meaning to do, but have not had the time to do? Step back and look at yourself as a whole- mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. As you reflect on each area, take note of what you want to focus on and ask yourself:
What is stopping you from achieving your goals?
I just had the opportunity to submit a book proposal to my dream publishing company. The opportunity was presented to me in March and the due date was October 1st. I worked on the book throughout the months, but did not give it 100% of my focus until one week before. I spent the first couple days of that week beating myself up for not working harder for the last six months. On the third day, I was provided with the missing link that brought all of my ideas together and allowed me to write the entire proposal with ease. What did I learn? Procrastination is not always “bad!” Sometimes it is necessary to let go and trust that we will be shown the way.
Looking back, I was even provided a sign the day before I started working on the proposal. I had just hiked Enchanted Rock to really ground myself and ask for guidance around the book. As I was leaving town, I saw a sign that said “Procrastinate Now.” At that time, I looked at it and laughed, not thinking too much other than feeling a little guilt that I was already doing it! One week later, I now see that sign as a reminder…We are ALWAYS being guided…the question is…
Are you paying attention?
