Ever been skiing before?
Skiing can be fun! It can also be a fast, PAINFUL teacher.
FOCUS
2 Skis, pointed outwards = the Face-Plant
Ever had two skiis pointed outwards in different directions? If you have, you know your trip won’t last long.
At best you end up htting the snow FACE FIRST within one foot of your departure. At worst, you end up with extensive groin tears, with surgeries on at least one MCL to heal your torn-up knee(s). UGLY.
This is the same result as the person who is focused on too many different things. At the outset – the start of their ski run – they’ve got one ski pointed left, and the other pointed right. They’re doing stock trading while they’re also starting 2 MLMs and buying their first property.
BAM! Facewash full of snow. At best: embarrassed. At worst, bankrupt, broken-spirited, and left forever as a spectator.
The best quote I’ve heard related to this concept:
The fox who chases many hares catches none at all.
Two questions:
1) What could you let go of in your life? Maybe it’s a relationship, a project, a habit. Maybe it’s a belief holding you back.
2) With your newly created time, energy, focus, and beliefs what would it do for you if you could spend more time on your #1 project? Even a modest 10% increase in time, money, energy focused on your #1 project… what would that do for you and your bottom line?
COURAGE & CREATIVITY
2 Skis, pointed inwards = the Snowplow
The natural pull of gravity pulls me down the ski hill. I KNOW that if I point both skis downhill that nature will take care of the rest.
Yet I fight it. My beliefs, my fears, my crossed-up self-talk push against the natural force gravity. I am so stuck in comfort that my skis are crossed to an inwards “V”… creating the ol’ snowplow.
In what areas do you feel like you are fighting the hardest? How could just “letting go” make life easier?
How are you stuck in comfort these days, simply accepting the status quo instead of opening up to new concepts? Remember…
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
Make yourself ready.
Two skis, in alignment, pointing downhill
Ever had the sensation of FLYING, almost effortlessly, straight down the hill? Doesn’t mean that challenges dont come up. If you want to slalom around something, you simply point both skis to one side or the other… no problem at all. You keep your momentum rolling and get back on track.
This is the experience of a person who is CONGRUENT.
Everything is in alignment: your heart’s desires, your focus, and your action. You are in “The Flow” of life.
You are looking ahead, not trying to drive with the rear-view mirror. You aren’t PRETENDING to be or do anything that is outside of YOU. You are true to yourself.
You aren’t trying to fix or change anything out of your control. You are at peace and things seem almost effortless, even though you are being, doing, and accomplishing more than ever.
And what a feeling it is.
