“You don’t get what you want in life, you get who you are.” – Les Brown
Despite what I now see as the obvious truth of this quote, it took me actually hearing it before I fully began to live by it. All of my favorite quotes are similar in that they reveal a truth that I had felt on some level, but that I had never stopped to capture as a simple sentence.
The meaning is less about wanting and getting material possessions and much more about intangible desires such as healthy relationships or peace of mind. You don’t have to BE the new car that you want in order to get it, but you can only have completely trusting relationships if you are completely trustworthy.
Imagine a parent who wants patient children, but gets irritable when a line doesn’t move fast enough or gets angry when things don’t go exactly as planned. Sure, children are always watching and mirroring our example, but more importantly, the energy that we bring to life is the same energy that we get back from it.
A key part of the work that I do with clients is connecting to the energy that is associated with what they want and letting go of the energy that is holding them back. Through tools like “The Miracle Question” and other visualization techniques, we align the concept and energy of “who” you are with your heart’s desires.
So how can we live by this wisdom so that we get what we want in life? Here is the 3 step answer:
- First, identify what it is that you really want. Is it a relationship with complete trust? Patient kids?Peace of mind?
- Second, identify the energy, mindset and attributes of someone who has what you want.
- Are they cynical and skeptical or trusting and trustworthy? Would that person be kind and patient or angry and aggressive?
- Are they cynical and skeptical or trusting and trustworthy? Would that person be kind and patient or angry and aggressive?
- Third, bring that energy, affirm that mindset and embody those attributes whole heartedly, in every moment of every day.
With a genuine desire, and the right resources, you can have everything that you want in life by doing the work to become the person who is meant to have it. I work with my clients to do just this.
We’ll partner to uncover your truest desires, remove thought patterns, mental blocks and limiting beliefs that are holding you back and clear the way to becoming your fullest self and enjoying all the treasures that come along with it.
