Are you able to make a choice and stay there?

Do you get distracted easily and end up doing 1000 other things except what you wanted to do?

Have you ever wondered what that's about?

I'm going to give you one option that's come up for me. Obviously there are many possibilities here, but this is what I see in my own life.

Making a firm decision requires courage. It takes some guts to decide what you want, stand there, and move in that direction.

The way the fear of making a choice shows up can be through distracting ourselves. We just keep ourselves busy doing something that's not the choice that we made. Then we blame life for not giving us time to do the thing, when really it's just us in a cycle of avoidance.

Sticking to it, making a choice and staying there, requires you to not allow yourself to be distracted by all the things your mind and potentially life, will throw at you.

You make a choice and a problem shows up. Guess what? That's testing your ability to control your own focus. Is that problem yours? Do you have to deal with it? Is there even a solution? Do you really have to pay attention there right now?

The distraction may be your own stress level because you can't solve it. The problem isn't the problem anymore. Now the problem is your own ability to focus and not stress about things you can't solve.

Having focus takes courage. We've been taught to do all the things, be bothered by life, let life essentially take us for a ride. We haven't learned that by managing our focus and controlling what we allow ourselves to take on, that we can gain some control. We can learn how to focus better.

Because we haven't learned those skills, we actually end up in fear. We're afraid of what happens if we shift our focus away from things we're used to focusing on. We think those problems are suddenly going to get really big because we're not staring them down 24 hours a day.

Guess what? They don't get bigger. They don't even do tricks. They literally just sit there until you're ready to do something about them. Your fear of what if will keep you staring them down if you don't shift it.

Avoidance equals fear.

What you're avoiding and not doing is because you're afraid of something. Your job is to figure out what that is and then learn how to overcome the fear of it.

The Universe offers lots of opportunities to see the cycle and find the fear. Your job is to pay attention long enough to recognize it. That's what your life experience is there to do - show you what you need to deal with so you can create the life you want.

You can do it. You just have to get over your fear of sticking with it.

Love to all.
