Affirmations: The power of an ocean's tide
This excerpt includes a short list of common obstacles that prevent people from reaching goals, and it's a condensed list! If I had given this section more attention, the list would no doubt be longer. If you took some time to reflect and consider examples of obstacles that stood in the way of your forward progress, what would top your list? What, if anything, prevented you from reaching your goals? Has your list increased over time with more years lived? Amaging(TM) Growing Old On Purpose focuses on using affirmations to support goals while aging. My hope is that you will read this book and learn how to use affirmations like a morning and evening "tidal wave" to help sweep away any obstacles that are getting in the way of your important goals.
Book Excerpt
Amaging(TM) Growing Old On Purpose
Vince Lombardi Jr. talks about his father’s motivation in the best-selling book he co-authored with his father, Vince Lombardi Sr., What It Takes to Be #1. The younger author compared enthusiasm to “the tide in an ocean with a strong force to sweep obstacles away.” As we think about little and large goals we might want to achieve, wouldn’t it be great to have something as powerful as an ocean tide come through and sweep away the barriers that block our route to success?
Likely, it’s easier to identify obstacles than it is to find ways to overcome them. Here are some common obstacles that I have encountered and that others have shared with me that prevent reaching goals:
- little time to work on a goal
- lack of consistent motivation
- resources, especially money
- pain, it physically hurts to work at it
- fear of associated problems that may arise when the goal is achieved
The list goes on. Affirmations can be used to bring about more consistent enthusiasm and help sweep away obstacles, similar to the enthusiasm Lombardi describes.
