3 Steps to Become who you secretly want to be

Posted on April 30, 2016 | Leave a comment

Do you secretly long to be like someone you admire and to shy to admit it, even to yourself? Do you feel shame about your wish? Do you think that you are not worthy enough? big view goals

In a coaching session I encouraged a client to accept that they would like to be like their favorite leader or guru and embrace it. I asked them to envision themselves in a similar leadership position with a question, how did they want others to view them? For example when you think of Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, or Oprah what character images come to your mind? I used an example of how I have come know these personalities through media and how I inwardly identify them through association.

The momentum of success can be consciously planned for or unconsciously achieved. There is always a choice to create a vision that includes your values that contribute to humanity or a choice to get what you need at the expense of humanity.

3 Steps to Consciously Accepting Your Personal Dreams & Starting to Create Them

1. Who you Want to Be Like in This Lifetime

If you stopped to check in and consider who you would like to be like in the future who would it be? For example, a guru, a doctor, a philosopher, a professor….

2. What Characteristics would you like to be identified with?

Take a moment to consider this question. How would you like others to experience you. When you think of your guru, what images come to mind? Now translate this into how you want others to consider you.

3. Walk and Talk It – Make it your story from the inside

Now carry a vision of who you want to be as you walk forward to manifest this vision. Holding it consciously within you will begin to walk and talk it! If you are afraid to accept your dream, you will always be victim to it.
