Why aren’t you where you want to be

yet?!

I know that there’s more you have inside of you, so why

aren’t you where you want to be yet?

Are you ignoring your calling?

Are you suppressing your needs?

Are you scared?

Don’t you know HOW to do have what you want?

Are you worried about what people will think or say?!

Are you letting other people play God with your life instead of you

BEING God in your life?

Are you scared to speak up?

Are you too timid to ASK for what you want?

Are you just being plane LAZY?

Don’t you believe that you can do what you want?

Are you scared of the work you’ll have to do?

What would happen if you took full ownership of what it is

you wanted and you unleash it into the world? Push over that

first domino and watch the chain reaction!

It’s time to ASSERT yourself!

You can go for whatever it is you want and be whoever you want to be but

you sure as HELL won’t have it if you don’t get over yourself, your excuses

and your fears.

Assert your right it have the life that you want! The life that your soul is

crying out for.

Say a big, fat, YES to you!

And say as many ‘HELLNO’s to the things that AREN’T taking you where

you want to be, and the people who aren’t supporting you and the things

you no longer want to do.

You’ve got to make asserting yourself a DAILY habit. Every day I get

up and decide I am going to make progress TOWARDS my goals,

share my vision, help people, do what I want, say what I want, and

then take action. Repeated action. All the small, seemingly

insignificant actions, add up, and here I am 9 years after breaking free

from the 9­5 grind and I’m STILL creating a life of FREEDOM.

If FREEDOM is on your mind, let me tell you there is no other journey like it

out there; with the highs & lows, the ups and downs, the tears and

celebrations. Better all that than to go through the NUMBNESS of a life

where someone else is calling the shots and you are robotically going

through the motions.

To hell with playing it small and saying NO to you. How dare you!

Give yourself FREEDOM to act on impulse, to go with your ideas and

assert your right to do that today. Do something RIGHT NOW that’s

going to take you closer to your goals. The last thing I want is to be

repeating this message in a years time and for you to still be where

you are today if you KNOW you are destined for more.
