The Four A’s

 

To be successful, happy and have more of what you want in your life, following the Four “A”‘s will go a long way in assisting you to turn your dreams to goals and then to achieve those goals, one step at a time.

The First A.  AWARENESS:

Having awareness means, simply put, paying attention to those little voices within telling you to take specific actions on things. These things can be anything from making an appointment with your Dentist to a job or career not working as well as it used to or a relationship that needs some focused attention and changes.

Awareness is that wonderful human ability to, in many cases,  save ourselves from bother. A good example is putting off a Dentist appt. Obviously, if you leave it too long without effective attention, your teeth will deteriorate, possibly cause you pain and probably cost you much more money than if you had attended regular check ups.

Another great example is when a relationship is in trouble.  Ignore the problems and what usually happens? Things go from disharmony and recurring arguments to full blown angry fighting, inability to discuss anything calmly and at this point, resentment and blame usually sets in from one or both parties. Deal with the problems when they arise and your relationships will be filled with potential, ongoing fulfillment and a deep seated quiet  joy at sharing life together.

There are many more examples of how Awareness can bring about positive change and potentially help you avoid many unpleasant, stressful and often overwhelming situations. Perhaps a good exercise would be to make some quiet time for yourself to think about and write down some of those little (or big) niggles that are in the back of your mind and make a list of how and when you will deal with them. You can continue to return and cross off what you have done and make a specific plan to do those things that are troubling you most. If you haven’t been too successful with sticking to your plans in the past, keep your list small and build up.

Practising this exercise regularly will bring you a wonderful sense of achievement and often great peace of mind.

Something great I read recently:

Action leads to results.

Results can be measured and improved.

Imperfect action beats perfect inaction everytime!

So, use that wonderful gift of insight and awareness and begin to take action TODAY as

EVERY DAY GETS BETTER.
