Hey FLOW!
As I was watching my granddaughter try to ride her bike for the first time this past weekend, I notice that she would pedal and get nice consistent forward movement. Then, suddenly she’d put her foot on the brake and look at me and say, “the bike stop keeps stopping”?
It was hilarious explaining to her that she was the one causing the bike to stop. But, I thought about us in terms of pursuing our dreams and achieving our goals. We start moving and really gain momentum. We actually start to see the light at the end of the tunnel, or at least the progress being made. Then, all of a sudden, we slam on the brakes. We’ll even sit there as if puzzled and ask ourselves, “what happened”?
The thing is…it’s not a mystery.
So, what happened?
✅ Did you get distracted with comparison? Sometimes when we start looking at another person’s progress, we begin to slow down or stop moving altogether.
✅ Did the sight of success scare you? A lot of us carry limiting beliefs that were created when we were children. If we were told we weren’t going to be anything in life, told we could only do ONLY certain things and no more, or even told to stop dreaming too big, we carry those restrictions along with us and never realize they’re holding us back. Take a look at why you hit the brake every time you get so far.
✅ Did you lose sight of the vision? With everything on the internet, it’s easy to lose sight of what the original idea, dream, and/or vision for your life really is. I see people spinning their wheels trying to be a part of everything fad and every wave of what’s popular. Stick to your vision. And if you’ve lost sight, go back to the drawing board and familiarize yourself with it again.
I want to encourage you today…take that foot off the brake!
