We All Know What The Big Bad Wolf Was Thinking...

We all know about strangers offering candy and the Big Bad Wolf.  Their "hidden agendas" to hurt us are obvious because we've learned about them.  Sometimes we hide our personal hidden agendas, even from ourselves.  Maybe you are blocking your own potential because you are afraid of getting hurt or afraid of being told you aren't good enough.

If you think about a goal you've had for a while that you have not accomplished, maybe you have even backpedalled, have you given thought to "why"? "First level excuses" might be hiding deeper reasons.  For example, why haven't you (please fill in the blank here)?

Our "first level excuses" might be:  I'm too busy; not enough time in the day; the kids; the job; the state of the economy, etc.  Perhaps underneath those excuses are the deeper, hidden agendas.  Maybe you don't (fill in the blank) because you feel like you've done enough.  You might be feeling unworthy, undervalued or undeserving.  Maybe it's because you feel like life is too overwhelming and there's no point.  "Why bother" has negative emotions attached to it.  Only you know your personal answer to the question of why you haven't taken steps toward your goals.

Perhaps you are afraid that someone will make fun of your attempts to do better.  Don't tell them about it, if you feel the need to protect yourself!  Please don't allow fear to stop your possibilities for greatness.

If you take one step a day toward your dreams, you are well on your way to your personal destiny.  With each step, notice if your body is giving you feedback.  Where do you hold stress in your body?  If something "flares up", try to note what is going on in your life emotionally at that time.

I believe in the mind-body connection.  The more I pause and take note of how my body reacts to situations, the better I can figure out any hidden agendas I might have.  We all need to become the experts of ourselves.  Listening to our inner voices is really important for brighter futures.

Have a great day!
