NYC Life Coach, Julie Melillo

All of us have been brought up to believe a variety of lies. Lies about what kinds of people we are, what we are capable of, what we deserve, and what we can expect out of life. About the Lies... The lies are told to all of us by a variety of (usually) well-intentioned people, who often have their own problems, which cause them to tell these lies. When we are young especially, we soak up these lies and believe in them strongly. For most of us, we will live our entire lives without challenging or even noticing this list of lies. Sometimes the lies are told directly with words, and other times indirectly with action. For instance, someone can say "wow, you're really stupid," or they can say nothing, ignore you, change the subject, roll their eyes, let their eyes gloss over like you're the world's biggest idiot, etc. We then continue to re-tell these lies to OURSELVES throughout the day, every day of our lives. We take action and go after goals (or avoid goals) that...

Go towards good. It's that simple. Is the situation or person good, supportive, and helping you? If not, leave. Walk towards situations that make you feel vibrant, excited, happy, calm, understood peaceful, amazing, appreciated, amazing, content, like you're going in the right direction, relaxed, focused, like you're contributing something important, fairness, honesty, integrity. Anything else is not in your best interest. There is nothing to analyze or figure. Good people. Good work. Good health. Good emotional health. Good struggles. Good rewards. Good strength. This doesn't mean you won't experience bad things and struggle, but remember to walk away from harmful things, mean people, negative things, abuse -- these are not the right struggles for you. Leave. Go towards good. Welcome it into your life like an old friend. Run far from anything else, close the door to it, and look away.

And do whatever will impact your goal the most. Planning is important, but acting is more important. You can refine your goals later or tweak your approach. For now, ACT. You'll feel a surge of energy from this that will build your confidence and propel your forward faster. I challenge you to do it! You'll do it well, better than you think. Or, you'll learn something vital and amazing. Either way, a great success. Choose one small thing to ACT on today. Do it, and write down how you feel. Continue to do this once a day and you'll see a big result! Wishing you much success!
