Step into your greatness – You too can live a happy life

JOHANNESBURG SOUTH – “One half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up before you get it.” – Sidney Howard

Do you want to achieve your dream? And do you really expect to achieve it?

One of the people I coached in the past week is an advocate by profession and her goal is to become a judge. She has been wanting to achieve this goal for a while now. My first question to her was: “Do you really want to be a judge?” She said yes. My second question was: “Do you expect to be a judge?” She said yes. “What is the difference between the two questions?” she asked. You see, wanting is in the talking. Everybody talks about what they want, from kids to adults at all levels of life, but not everybody expect to be what they want. The expectation on the other hand shows itself in the current behaviour. I made an example with a child who says she wants to score 80 per cent in science and spends only an hour a day working on science and the rest of it playing with her friends, watching TV, and so forth. There’s no way she can get what she wants because her behaviour is not aligned with what she wants.

So, the person I coached has not been able to be a judge simply because of her behaviour which is similar to the child mentioned above.

So, what is your current behaviour? In the 24 hours you have every day, be honest with yourself and check how many hours do you spend investing in yourself and you will soon realize why you are the person you are.

Enjoy the journey and claim your happiness, it belongs to you.
