In a Forbes article by Kevin Kruse (2016), he reports that research statistics show only 8% of people achieve their New Year’s Resolutions. So, what is going on? Do you know? Be mindful.
Have you explored what is going on with you? Your goals, your resolutions that you set this year, can go right out the window if you don’t know. So, what are you going to do?
Yes, make sure your goals are S.M.A.R.T. goals. Then, what? You’ve created S.M.A.R.T. goals, but you still don’t achieve the results you set out to achieve. Are your goals really S.M.A.R.T.? Are you being specific? Are you being realistic? What is going on? Are you sticking to your goals? Are you completing your action steps? What is going on? Can it be that something is keeping you from achieving your goals, your dreams? Is it fear, trauma, anger, grief, forgiveness, failure, guilt, shame, or low self-esteem, etc.? Is it something from your present or past? What is going on? Ask yourself, What is going on?
Recently, I gave someone a compliment and she could not receive it. This reminded me of the importance of capacity and the importance of receiving. We all must expand our capacity to receive and be open to receive. For example, if someone delivered a package to your front door, you would have to open the door to receive it. You would have to handle the package by picking it up, pushing it in, etc. Then, you would have to open it to receive it. Just because something has been delivered to you doesn't mean you see it or have received it.
Likewise, you can be sent an email and never receive it if you don’t sign in, open it, and read it. It could be in your SPAM folder. You can even tell yourself and others that the email was never sent.
You can be in the presence of something or someone that you want, but don’t even notice it to receive it because you are not there. Yes, physically you are there but not fully present. So, how can you fully receive if you are not there? Can you receive?
I invite you to receive. I invite you to be present in the moment. I invite you to open up. Open the doors of your heart and start believing again. Start believing more. Yes, expect. Expect yourself to receive. Expect yourself to multiply what you have received. Expect yourself to achieve.
