Hey Squirrel! Get Your Lizard Brain To Eat That Frog!

If you want to be an achiever, your best and most valuable stake in achieving what you need is to ask for help. But be careful about what kind of help you ask for, though. Asking for help essentially means getting over obstacles, or unbinding yourself out of a rut, or finding your way out of a maze.

So take a moment to sit still and look at the panorama of what you are trying to achieve and look for the places that make you feel doubt, uncertain or scared. That is where you need help.

Most of us deny the power we have within us. And when we ask for help, we want to give our magical quest over to someone else to map out for us. And you know what, these are people - just like you are - and they have their own magic to live up to. They will use their cookie cutter to mould your quest and send you on your way. What will happen next is that you will suddenly not find your heart in the project and you will flounder. Your enthusiasm will fizz out as if your project was made up of Coca Cola and then feel flat and unpalatable.

There are gurus you will encounter who will guide you towards your goals. And there are those whom I hear speaking about how our Lizard brains (which is a primitive part of our brains that saved our lives) will find all sorts of ways to avoid the things that we do not like to do, and so our squirrels (which is our lust for distractions) will fall into traps that will keep us from staying on task, so; to get our dreams to come to fruition we must eat the ugly frogs;which are the boring or frightening, or daunting tasks so that we will get to achieve our goals. No, all you need is to find someone to help you with doing those tasks that you are not good at. Someone who will actually want to do the task because they are passionate about that, and that person will  find it unbelievable that you got them to do these things that make them so happy!

Happy! That is the place you want to live in when you are crafting your dreams. What makes you excited about your dream? Why is it not already a dream come true? What makes you procrastinate on getting out of your head and stepping into your body and get things moving? What is that first task that you need to do that will begin the process? What do you need to get that first step going? Do not say Money or Knowledge or Time. Because those are limiting beliefs. I bet you that Money is not the first thing you need in that starting step to get this going. Knowledge - if you dreamed this up, then it is you that has been designated by all the forces on this earth to do this thing, you have the knowledge to do this already - and if you need help, then ask for it!  But do not sit there lying to yourself that you do not know how. There is a scientist out there waiting for your call. Get out of your head and walk into your body so that your fingers can dial the number. Time? You do not have time for your dreams? Well, what do you know about your deadline? So you know when that day is coming when you will be here no more - and then Boom! your dreams will be gone - feeding the earth. No, my friend, feed the Earth with your magical dream now!
