1. Enter the cave, without a light of any kind, and completely alone.
OR
2. Enter the cave with a friend who has a flashlight, who’s successfully explored this cave before and agrees to share the cash evenly.
What did you pick? Most would choose #2.
Over the years, I have found this scenario describes what I have witnessed as my clients pursue letting go of old fears and moving on to pursue a major leap in personal growth. Change can be very scary. When you pursue it with a friend or expert who has explored this dark place before, has great resources(light) and emerged with a big reward, it really isn’t so scary.
It can be very lonely to pursue growth on your own. It takes discipline, time and a dedication to the long-term. You may miss your successes because there’s no one else to witness the progress. This may be why only 8% of people out there actually succeed at new years resolutions.
I challenge each of you to find a way to connect with someone to support you in your growth so that your journey may be witnessed, encouraged and celebrated by at least one other person. This can occur by enrolling in a class, setting up accountability sessions with a friend or working with a coach or expert trainer. As the example suggests, sometimes you have to be willing to share some of your financial wealth to make it happen. When you financially invest in the process, you are even more likely to succeed.
Need a group to support you? Consider joining one of these three programs this week. The one on Wednesday is FREE and if you are really in a financially tight situation, get in touch with me and let’s see what we can come up with.
I’ll be there to support you and I promise to bring my flashlight.
