Good morning, <<First Name>>!
It's time for the Flying Pig Marathon here in Cincinnati! Since the 1840's, Cincinnati has been known as "Porkopolis" ( and the Queen City) and ever since, the pig has become its most popular mascot.The Flying Pig Marathon, beers, events, statues and everything imaginable has been named after and associated with the image of a Flying Pig.
'Pigs might fly', or as some would have it 'pigs may fly', is an example of an adynaton, that is, a figure of speech that uses inflated comparison to such an extent as to suggest complete impossibility. Source
What do you believe is impossible?
What do you really believe is possible?
What is blocking your ability to reach your goal and achieve success?
This is your “come to Jesus moment”, the dark night of the soul, the painful realization that there is something you have been unable to admit and take responsibility for that is blocking your success. Here are some examples:
- If I am looking for a new job but I don’t really believe I will find one. I am still angry and resentful of my former employer’s actions.......the job search will be a long painful process.
- If I follow a specific diet and exercise regime to improve my health but I don’t really believe I can change my body and feel good again………I will never see significant results.
- If I am looking for a new love relationship but I don’t really believe I am attractive or lovable……….others will see me as unattractive and unlovable.
The key to shifting your perception of what is possible is the Truth. I control my thoughts, I choose how I respond to feelings and ultimately, I am the one that chooses not to put that extra piece of chocolate in my mouth!
There are at least three things that block my Truth.
#1 Lack of awareness of the "story" (and lies) I tell myself and others.
#2 Absence of forgiveness for my own actions and the actions of others.
#3 Commitment to a personal practice that continually shifts my thoughts, feelings and actions from fear to love.
I believe that we have the power to shift our thoughts, build up resistance to negative messages and focus on what we believe to be true.
I believe it is possible to shift our feelings of fear to the emotional energy of love.
I believe that we know, in our gut, the correct actions to take in any situation. .
Everything in life seems to be focused on external discipline and achievement, however, the most important area of our life in need of discipline and achievement is in our mind, heart and gut. A daily practice of “mindfulness”; 20 minutes of meditation in the morning, an inspirational reading with some forgiveness and unconditional love thrown in to feel good, is not enough. It is a minute by minute attentiveness to our thoughts, a continuous monitoring of our feelings and the ability to stop and assess before acting. When mind, heart and gut are aligned, we have a much greater chance of hitting the mark, achieving success and lead fulfilling, joy-filled lives.
Here is a step by step process to help you shift to possibility thinking.
What is the "story" or lie I am telling myself or others at this moment?
What is the logical end of this story if I continue to repeat it to myself and others?
Take responsibility, identify the fear and forgive self and others.
What do I believe to be true in this moment?
Generate a new feeling that aligns this Truth.
Change your course, disrupt yourself, and take a new action!
The Truth is; different results are guaranteed…….for life!
Let the pigs fly!
In the Spirit of Strengths,
Jennifer
