We’ve been taught that the reasons we don’t accomplish our goals in life are that we’re too timid or too disorganized or too unfocused or too lazy or too unclear in knowing what we really want or too unmotivated to improve ourselves because we’re too comfortable in our current situation or too unknowledgeable and inexperienced. All of these are true to varying degrees throughout our lives.
However, the one reason that is neglected that is too often the primary cause of procrastination and the feelings of emptiness and lack of fulfillment is that we’re waiting to receive permission from someone of significance in our lives. This is the same as receiving a blessing from those whom you love, respect and admire. The ancients knew of this need we all have. Many of the enduring stories of great and noble people of the past involve their quest for and receiving of a blessing from their parents or others of significance in their lives. This permission they received served to pull the trigger of the starting pistol of personal progress and significance in their own lives.
You need to know that your mentors support your choices in life and your path for achieving significance. Without the blessing you subconsciously seek, you travel tentatively through life with timidity or temerity. Neither extreme satisfies nor produces lasting positive or fulfilling results.
More later . . . !
