The Second Book The 100th Chapter - Develop Your Strategy

Feb 1/18

How do you get from here to there?  How do you accomplish your desires?  How do you create a strategy that is tailored for your success?

These are all questions that I have thought about for years and I was paralyzed to act on.  I was not able to act because I didn't know what to decide on and I didn't have the confidence in myself to even try an idea when I had one.  Overtime I knew I had to try something new, so slowly I started to explore a different life for me.

I slowly changed my entire direction of my life in a way that was what I wanted to live instead of one that people expected me to live.  I noticed that as I slowly left my comfort zone of my past, I started to have experiences that would provide me a sense of support from other people with my new life choices. 

A story I would like to share is about meeting Katherine and becoming friends.  It was the third time to Belize and I was at El Norte, north of San Pedro 10 miles.  As she walked up with her husband, I immediately knew this is a special person.  It was during this time I was considering to stop writing and sharing my random thoughts with the goal to provide value to others. 

After about a hour of conversation she randomly blurted out, you can't stop and quit, you have so much to give.  Now keep in mind I never shared the thought I was thinking of quitting.  I was shocked when she made this statement and caused me to pause and reflect and think about my current mindset.  In that moment I realized I was given the gift of perseverance and to keep going forward to get where I need to go.

The story doesn't end there and I did decide to keep going with my sharing.  It was about a month after returning home and I was feeling unsettled and not clear of my direction.  The feeling I had encompassed my entire being and I felt a drain of my energy.  One morning I received a random text from Katherine and asking how I was doing.  I shared with her I was struggling and she said without hesitation, "I know".  She went on to say she could feel it even though there was no communication and we live thousands of miles apart.

Once again her support gave me the courage to follow my strategy.  Creating your own strategy is key for you to enjoy your life.  Take all the things you don't want in your life and do a mental purge of all the clutter.  Then make a list of 5 things you actually want to have in your life. 

Take all your learned skills and apply them to your top choice of the list of 5.  Then start to take action on strategy and to cross over and out of your current comfort zone.  Repeat this process and listen to positive support from others that cross your journey, as they have been sent to help you.
