Today I overhead a sad comment. Someone — remarking on the fact that there is lots of negotiating involved in building a new home — said, “That’s the reason I’ll never build new.” How sad — but it made me think.
For years, I assumed I’d never be able to enter a marathon. The combination of bad knees, too much weight, and age made me think it was impossible. Then someone challenged me. Six weeks later, twelve pounds lighter, and feeling ten years younger, my mind no longer ruled out this possibility!
I sometimes need a push to work on personal development. Recently, I hired a personal coach to help me push through a fitness challenge. It was a lot of hard work but, the thing is, nothing can describe how good it felt to push through.
Did someone deceive you into thinking you can’t handle building your dream home? Did someone else’s bad experience set you up to dismiss the possibility? Forever?
Hey, when I’m puffing and sweating on the treadmill it’s no picnic, to be sure. But I started something I thought I could never do, and I’m doing it. And the sense of accomplishment — the sheer magic of getting past my “head” for once in my life —really cannot be described. It’s wonderful!
So don’t rule out your dream home so fast. Don’t settle for second best just because someone else made up your mind for you. There is lots of help and lots of coaching available these days.
Become knowledgeable in a brand new area of life, take charge, make a deal! This might just be the best thing you ever did for yourself!
We’re pulling for YOU
