(Part 2 of 4)

While you begin laying out your M.A.P. for your Leap, there will be a lack of friends and family lining up to encourage you to make your Leap.

There are three basic reason why they give you little to no encouragement. They sometimes just flat out do their best to discourage you from your Leap.

Before we unwrap their “why” let’s look at the big benefit of their lack of encouragement. This vacuum of support is a test of your resolve to fulfil your Life’s Mission. This heat of little or no support will serve to strengthen your endurance to stay the course.

Three Reasons for their lack of “In-Couragement”

1. Their love for you will not allow them to encourage you to Leap to what they view as peril, harm, or failure. They are blinded by their love for you. The best gift you can give them is your fulfillment and success.
2. Some of their livinghood either financially or emotionally comes through you. This causes them to advise you to stay and play it safe. They mean you no harm, its that they are focused more on their supply rather than your fulfillment and success.
3. They have experienced the calling to Leap and have chosen to play it safe in their own life. Thus, there is no way they can encourage you to make your Leap, for if you do, they will be compelled to make theirs.

Leap On my friend.

When you and I sense the lure to the edge of our current comfort zone, there are internal conflicts that arise. They can create storms within our soul (our Mind, Will, and Emotions).

Part of our being wants to make the Leap to the next plateau of our life while the other wants nothing to do with the Leap.

This conflict creates instability, confusion, and ultimately indecision. How do we move beyond the edge and make our Leap?

Understanding the paradoxical conflicts will help us Leap forward with courage and confidence.

Paradoxical Conflict Number One:

No one has ever done exactly what you have within you to do. Therefore there is no one that can show you the exact steps you must take to achieve fulfilment and success.

With no one to get precise advice from, you will need to get out of your head and begin to trust your gut and heart, follow your passion. Many have Leaped out on the journey of their own fulfillment and success, yet none have taken the exact Leap you are being called to do.

You can play it safe and stay where you are, yet it will produce discontent, disappointment, and discouragement. Your peace, fulfillment, and success is not available in the safety zone, it’s out there in the unknown.

Take a long look over your journey to where you are now, you will notice that you’ve already taken many Leaps. Though your Leap was heart pounding, you made your Leap and you lived and thrived.

Now, take the Leap!

The outlook you have on today and your future is yours to paint the way you want. Here are two of the seven tools that can aid you in how you paint and frame your past.

1st Tool           Fix your heart on the fact that you are Provided for, Protected, and Projected towards your best life.

2nd Tool         Face the pain of it and forgive. Knowing that forgiveness is not granting a pardon to the person who treated you wrong. It is the setting yourself free from having to drink from the BAR of Bitterness, Anger, and Resentment.

Look for part 2 tomorrow and part 3 the day after.

Yep, you’ve made it to the second Monday of 2019. Even in the midst of failed new year’s resolutions, walk outs, lock outs, spilled wine, fender bender, and so many other obstacles. You’re here and let’s make it a Magnificent Monday.

Making today magnificent involves at least four things:

• You be in charge of your attitude, refuse to allow someone or something to have charge of you
• Leverage your day with a task list with just six items on it. You’ll be gratified with the creative power it has to make today magnificent
• Liberate yourself to Listen to someone else’s story of their incredible weekend
• Resign from being the chairperson of your own “self demoralizing Committee”

Enjoy your Magnificent Monday

The way you look, think about, and speak to your team and coworkers has one of two results.

1. Sets them free to Serve to their utmost
2. Captures them in the prison of your low opinion of them

A harsh truth is that your expression and feelings towards them speaks volumes of who you are and how you view yourself.

Set yourself and your teammates free to Leap to their best Serve. Walk over to them and express your gratitude for them. Then follow that up with a specific character quality or activity they do that inspires you.

The Environment of your family, where you volunteer, or where you trade your minutes and abilities for the money to sustain your world is gaged by the thermostat of your Serve.

Bring your best Serve every day and you’ll see the environment change for the better. This can be accomplished through four regular steps.

1. Be in charge of your own attitude. Allow nothing or no one to be in control of your attitude.
2. Elevate your look to above the actions and attitude of others. Look towards the one who provides for you, protects you, and propels you forward in Leap forward.
3. Serve rather than waiting to be served.
4. Transfer the good will that you wish for to those around you through your actions and words to them.
