I have been very heartened by the people who have responded so positively to a recent dilemma I have been experiencing.
I have come to realise that when I gave up full time teaching so I could build my businesses I found myself with more time free to spend with friends, family and loved ones. You would think that would make me happy but weirdly it did not. I started to feel a certain amount of guilt as I have come to realise that deep down in my core I had the belief that my role was to spend all my time working with vulnerable children, that was my identity, that was how I saw myself and I also felt that was how I gained approval from others.
By moving away from all those endless hours planning etc I felt guilty with all the time I now had as I was not used to it.
When I read Wes Linden's network marketing book which has a lot of very useful tips some of the things he said triggered off the realisation in me that in some ways I was holding back from doing what I want to do out of my feelings of guilt.
A good friend Gail suggested I read Tony Robbins's book Awaken the Giant Within.
So now my journey has taken me from reading one book straight to reading another. I was able to start reading it last night and have come to realise that my internal system of making decisions ( which comprises of my relationship between 5 main elements: core beliefs, unconscious rules, life values,habitual questions and emotional states) was making me hesitate. By changing one of these elements so that my internal system works harmoniously I am able to produce powerful change.
Books are inspiring as the words written can resonate with us and cause us to reassess how we approach things on our journey through life.
I am thankful for all the people past and present who try so hard to guide others by sharing their own experiences in books.
