Are you the Captain of your Soul?


 "Who am I To stand and wonder, to wait while the wheels of fate slowly grind my life away. Who am I?" Joe McDonald

Are the "wheels of fate" slowly grinding your life away? Are you an "observer" of your life, a victim of circumstances, the monkey and not the organ grinder or are you in control?

It's your life and you deserve it to be the best it can be.

Ask yourself the following questions:


Have you ever tried to make a change and found that you couldn’t because something prevented you from even trying?

Have you ever wanted to learn a new skill but were prevented from following up the desire because you “believe” that you can’t do that sort of thing...

Have you ever nearly achieved something and fell at the last hurdle for no apparent reason?

Are there certain situations that you find yourself in when you fall apart and you can’t cope, even though in many other areas you are perfectly confident and self-assured?

If you have answered yes to any of those questions there is every chance that the thing that stopped you was some subconscious conditioning, brought about in childhood and reinforced throughout your life.

You see the subconscious mind doesn’t do logic. It just reacts.

Certain things trigger certain reactions, a bit like a button switches on lights.

One button switches on a red light, one a white light etc. It depends how the lights are wired.

So our reactions to certain events are determined by how we are “wired”. or the in the words of Stuart Wilde, the consciousness we held at the time that similar things happened in the past or, how we remember those things.

Proactive

The term proactive was brought into the public domain by Viktor Frankl in his book Mans Search For Meaning. He used the term to describe a person that took responsibility for thier own life rather than blaming other people or external circumstances. He also stated that important personal qualities were courage, perseverance, individual responsibility and  the ability to recognise that there are always choices regardles of the situation or context.

The term proactive was further popularized in 1989 Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

“If you’re proactive, you don’t have to wait for circumstances or other people to create perspective expanding experiences. You can consciously create your own.” - Stephen R. Covey
