What You Are Doing Speaks So Loud I Can't Hear What You Are Saying
Most people want more out of life. More money, more success, better
relationships, more ... The problem is that wanting more and doing the
work are two different things. We all start out with great enthusiasm
and energy when embarking on a new adventure. But how quickly it fades
with the least bit of inconvenience.
I have found that when
people start to get uncomfortable they start to come up with excuses to
postpone doing anything that causes them discomfort.
"I've got to check my day timer first"
"I'm going shopping for new furniture that day"
"I'm really busy for the next few days, weeks, months"
It is like the story of the farmer who went to his neighbour to borrow some rope. "Sorry,
but I'm milking the cows this evening" said the neighbour. "Whats that
go to do with me borrowing some rope?" ask the farmer. "Why nothing at
all", said the neighbour, "but when you don't want to do something, any
excuse is as good as another."
So we all say we want
more, want a better life, more success, better relationship but do we
really? How many times have you stopped yourself from succeeding?
It
takes work to change and only a few seem to really want to grow and
change. As Winston Churchill once said, "Man will occasionally stumble
upon a great truth, but most will pick themselves up and carry on as
though nothing ever happened".
Ask yourself which category are you in.

Hi Tony,
I like your quote from Winston Churchill, "Man will occasionally stumble upon a great truth, but most will pick themselves up and carry on as though nothing ever happened". I guess you would say that they are in denial. For me, after trying to confront my biggest fear, and finding snippets of truth and enlightenment, as well as lots of sadness, this quote gives me the encouragement to move ahead and continue to work on my biggest fear. After all, what have I to lose? Your message says to me that I must look at what's of importance in my life, and continue to work at it despite perceived setbacks.

Hi Tony,
Today is my birthday, and I woke up to the realization that my deepest fear (not wanting to have been born) and my painful childhood memories have melted away. Coincidence or what!?!
Your May 2008 seminar on overcoming fear worked! It was hard going, but having faith and trust in your techniques allowed me to move forward.
What surprises me (and I am so grateful for this), is I no longer feel or remember the painful memories from my childhood which were so detailed. What's emerging are hidden memories of the happy times I had as a child. I feel a sense of freedom. Did you know that my name, Francoise, means "freedom"? Cool, eh!
