A Few Notes From Cheryl
Greetings everyone,
First, a big welcome to all of our new subscribers that have recently
joined our community! For those of you who received this
publication from a friend, you can start receiving it regularly by
requesting your own copy at http://www.goalsinsight.com/Newsletter.htm
.
Several of you have expressed interest in the next "Achieve Your Goals
Success Group" that starts on May 5. At this time, there are just
3 spots left and it is first come first served, so if you want to join
the group, be sure to register by this Friday at http://www.goalsinsight.com/teleclasses.htm
(details are below).
Many of you have been waiting for the release
of our next self-study program. At long last, I have finished
recording it and the complete CD/workbook program is in production
now. Stay tuned for an announcement within the next week, as you
will be among the first to hear about the s*p*e*c*i*a*l pricing for
this community before the regular pricing is announced to the rest of
the world.
Until then, enjoy this month's feature article below about creating
your reality!
Warmest regards,
Cheryl

Feature Article: What is the Reality You
Are Creating?
Have you seen the film "What the bleep do we know?" If you
haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it. It is playing only in
a few select theaters at this point, but it is available on DVD.
So, you're probably asking why I am writing this month's feature
article about a movie? Because it is directly tied to the work
that I do.
This film is part documentary, part story, and part elaborate and
inspiring special effects and animations. There are 14 scientists
and mystics who are interviewed throughout the film and discuss
science, religion and spirituality. The main character is plunged
headlong into a variety of crises, which force her to question all of
her perspectives about her life (her work, her relationships and the
things that are important to her). As she starts looking at
things in a different way, Amanda learns that she has the ability to
make different choices in her life so that she is no longer a victim --
she learns that she can create her own reality.
This film will challenge your thinking about how you create the things
you want in the important aspects of your life -- your work, your
personal life and your relationships. Are you ready to be
challenged?
As a coach, I work with clients every day both individually and with
corporate groups/teams who are ready to grow to the next level for
them, whatever that might be. From my own experience as well as
the results my clients attain, I do believe that it is possible to
create the reality that we want.
Here's what I know: our limited thinking comes from limited
beliefs, which then limits the actions we take and, ultimately, limits
our ability to achieve our desired results. The opposite is also
true: when we start seeing the possibilities for ourselves, we
start thinking more openly which then encourages us to take positive
actions and then yields more positive results.
Here's an example to illustrate this idea: Jane comes from a
family whose parents always worked long hours and had a hard time
making ends meet financially. The belief she grew up with was "we
have to work very hard for our money and it's selfish to take time off
to have fun." If Jane lives her adult life in this perspective, she
will likely not take action to change her situation and her life will
likely become a self-fulfilling prophecy of always having to work hard
and never taking time off to enjoy her personal life.
However, if Jane wants to lead a different life, she can use the
concepts in the film by choosing
to create her own, new reality -- first, she can choose a different
perspective such as "I can have a personal life AND earn as much money
as I want, without having to sacrifice my own well being." Then,
once Jane chooses that perspective and really believes that it is
possible, she will start taking actions to support that perspective,
which will then result in her having the life that she truly wants.
If you're intrigued by this topic, I invite you to reflect upon these
questions:
- What is the reality that I am creating for
myself in my career and my personal life -- am I creating my reality,
or am I letting "life happen"?
- Where in my work and personal life do I believe
I CAN influence my own reality, and why do I hold that belief?
- Where in my work and personal life do I believe
that I CANNOT influence my own reality, and why do I hold that belief?
- Who in my life challenges me to grow to the
next level, both personally and professionally?
- What is one thing I can start doing differently
today to open my thinking to this possibility if I so choose?
I would encourage you to see this film and, if possible, see it with
some friends or family members with whom you can discuss it
afterward. I did this just recently and we had a very lively
discussion with a group of 7 people who challenged each other and
helped each other see the truth for themselves about this topic.
Very fun and very powerful!

when you see it!
