Yes You Can – Acting On Inspiration

Ever had a good idea that you simply never did anything about? Ever noticed that many of the most successful people rose to where they are because they followed up on some really simple idea – the kind of thing that you say to yourself “I could have thought of that!”?

You need to realize that the difference between you and these super-successful people is down to just one thing – successful people take action, normal people don’t. Normal people prefer to go with their self-defeating useless thoughts like “There’s no way that I could do something like that” or “I wouldn’t have a clue where to start” or, the most common one of all “Look at what I’ve got to lose”. You’ve got to be abnormal to be a success. You’ve nothing to lose except, maybe, the normal mundane humdrum of ordinary life and that regular sinking feeling that your life’s always just going to be OK.

I know quite a number of people who simply haven’t got the guts to go with their instinct and consequently will never live the dream. One individual in particular springs to mind. He couldn’t be certain that he would earn enough money (whatever enough is) if he were to do what really excited him. And he never found out – he succumbed to cancer in his thirties having settled for the comfortable predictable option of doing more of the same with his life.

His time ran out more quickly than most. But that should confirm in your own mind that time is running out for you and I as I write these words. You’ve probably already had opportunities in you life that required bold decisions and you couldn’t take them. You’d be breaking the habit of taking the easy option, the one that guarantees more of the same. However, abnormally successful people don’t see what they’re doing as bold or courageous – they simply see it as something that they have to do.

So what do you have to do in your life? What do you really want to do? And, if you did it, you know, you’d find that you’d never have to work again because it would be a labour of love. And a labour of love is done both effortlessly and to extraordinary effect. If you’re doing what really turns you on you simply cannot but succeed.

So listen to your inspiration – pay attention to the things that occur to you that are outside the norm. You’ve got to understand that what’s normal is simply a set of dos and don’ts agreed upon by normal people who, psychology tells us, are crazy. The normal person’s subconscious controls them – not the other way around. It’s that out of control subconscious that tells you “No you can’t” when, in fact you can achieve anything that really turns you on, anything in which you truly believe.
