The Willingness Principle The Ultimate Secret To Realizing Your Dreams

In the Life Coach aspect of my psychotherapy practice my approach is, “The past is over, forget about it.”  Sometimes we do visit the past to better understand present feelings and behaviors.  The future isn’t here yet, don’t worry about it (Plan yes. worry, no).  
    The present is here; be in it. With this philosophy and some terrific tools, many of my clients have soared to successes which before they dared not dream of. 
    l’d like to share just one such tool with you.  It is the Ultimate Secret to Realizing Your Dreams. It is so simple, yet so key. I call it The WILLINGNESS PRINCIPLE
    In order to reach any goal, we must have WILLINGNESS. We must be WILLING to do whatever it takes (that is legal and moral) to get there. A definition of WILLINGNESS is: “A frame of mind that is open to every possible demand without judgement, refusal or reservation.” You may be thinking that what you dream of achieving is so far afield that only a miracle could bring you to it.  So, let’s define miracle: “An extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing or accomplishment.” Note: nowhere is the word “supernatural” in that definition. Today’s fantasy can be tomorrow’s accomplishment, or miracle.
    The secret of WILLINGNESS is that intention is more important than action. What we make up our minds to do is acutely more important than what we actually do.  When we form an intention and hold fast to it, we will eventually be presented with the right actions to achieve our goals. Presently I can’t absolutely prove to you scientifically why this secret works (although scientists are working on that). I can just tell you from my experience and that of many others that it does.  Once we commit ourselves to be WILLING to do whatever it takes, every single step necessary, often we simply don’t have to do all the steps. Imbibe the words of the great literary giant Johann Wolfhang Von Goethe: “At the moment of commitment, the entire universe conspires to assist you.”
    With THE WILLINGNESS DECISION, often we’ll encounter a whole set of obstacles for awhile- money scarcity, time-challenges, frustrations in our best efforts.  I said, “For awhile.” Through it all, keep the WILLINGNESS. If we do, then we’ll have to learn how to handle success. It might come sooner than we thought! The present is a gift. That’s why it’s called “the present.” It’s here – be in it!  

Enjoy your success!
