IAN STEPHENS If the Horse is dead ... it's Time to Dismount!
You’ve likely heard the old saying, ‘Don’t flog a dead horse’.
For many people 2014 (The Year of the Horse) will be a repeat of the same patterns and the same results of 2013.
My advice; if the horse is dead, it’s time to dismount.
What are you going to do more of, better or differently in 2014? Most people return from the festive season sluggish.
They don’t realize that their thinking and actions in the next 30 days sets up one of three outcomes.
- A spiral of positive energy and a year of manifesting.
- A ‘Ground Hog Day’ year of staying in a comfort zone (if you saw this 1993 movie starring Bill Murray, you get it)
or... - A downward out of control spiral which can go from bad to worse!
To achieve your desired outcomes for 2014, you need to ...
- Get real: Take responsibility for the results. There is a sense of personal power attached to getting real and taking
ownership of where you are. Whether you’re happy with what you achieved in 2013 or not, you created it - own
it.- Understand the principles of ‘Manifesting Mastery’: Everything must be created mentally before it can manifest
physically. Here’s the formula ... (V + F) + A + C = SVM(Visualizing + Feeling) + Action + Consistency = Sustainable ‘Vibrational’ Manifesting.
In summary, you must see it in your head, feel the feelings you will experience once you have achieved it and
then take consistent ongoing action. And you must be consistent with the first two parts of the formula. Action
done without doing the V & F work beforehand will yield less productive results.
Remember, there is a lag factor between doing the energy work (the V + F) and the results manifesting. You must
consistently do the activity of visualizing and feeling like it has already been achieved (the inputs) and then
appreciate there will be a lag before you seeing evidence of the results (outputs).- Appreciate that goals without actions are just dreams. Goals without actions are the equivalent of expecting
outputs without inputs. Invest in the lead up to New Year’s Eve gaining clarity on what our goals, dreams and
aspirations are for the year ahead. Then invest in New Year’s Day creating your Action Plans to get there.You must get clear on your goals and have a very specific plan of activity (inputs) which will WHEN IMPLEMENTED
create the desired results (outputs).- Call to action: Appreciate what’s not working and dismount from that horse!
