I have just read a quote by John
Demartini (founder of The Demartini Method©) – it says, “When you are truly inspired by something you cannot fail because you
don’t give up” – so true!
However, when I reflect upon leaving education,
re-training and setting up my own business as Consultant\Counsellor (as opposed
to a Coach even though some of the work I do is often described as ‘Coaching’),
I have had an enormous number of ‘pot holes’ along the way.
What I realize when I reflect on
these pothole situations is that I
have continued on my journey despite them and that those pothole situations presented themselves to me to learn a lesson in
order to move forward; those pothole
situations have served me and have been significant in my growth.
Where I differ with John
Demartini’s quote is in the use of the word ‘fail’. I don’t use ‘fail’; in my Mind there is always
a result; it may not be the one you want but unless you actually do nothing
(and even then it is the ‘doing nothing’ that is a result, an action, a choice,
in my opinion) there is ALWAYS A result. Once you acknowledge that, you come
from a different Mindset that enables a position to move to another level of
action - if that is what you want - and
if you are INSPIRED (in spirit) you WILL want to do that.
So, the quote in my Mind is this:
“When you are truly inspired by
something you WILL succeed and you WILL continue to succeed because you won’t
give up; inspiration is a powerful driving force, an internal state of being.” That’s a Lilly Fitzgerald adaptation!
Reflecting on that quote I
believe it is important to acknowledge and be grateful for all the macro as
well as the micro steps you have taken from the inception of your undertaking
to where you are now; when you acknowledge those steps, big or small, major or
minor, you place yourself in a Mindset that appreciates you for you; your heart opens, your vibrational
frequency alters and you see opportunities that you ignored previously or just
didn’t acknowledge even though they were always there!!!
To your success!!
Lilly Fitzgerald
