Running from Greatness…
Bringing clarity to an overwhelmed mind in business and in life…
Even when things are great I have to let It go. I have no problem of letting go of the obvious things that I know are not right for me. I have hit those points while eating knowing I’ve had enough and those moments when I know I have been on the couch too long and it’s time to get moving. For me it’s obvious of the things that I know aren’t right for me and I can easily let go of them in order to move on. But not every obvious thing to me was easy to let go of especially when it came to hoarding greatness.
In all that we do and accomplish we have to see them as great accomplishments no matter how big or small the accomplishment. When you think about it no matter any idea, even to type this blog starts as a thought. Then, from there we get mental action followed by some physical action to produce what came to thought. No matter how big or small the accomplishments, they are great but how long do we hold on to the greatness? I found myself in a place where I was hoarding all the greatness of the past keeping me from the greatness God (Abba) placed before me right now. The past feeling of accomplishment felt great, but it was a roadblock to the planned greatness present and ahead He had already planned.
I was running from greatness being so focused on the past greatness. I found myself in business and in life hanging on to the great things I accomplished in the past and the feelings I felt in those moments. I was becoming focused on recreating past feelings instead of being focused on the present and what is in front of me. I had a tendency to ride the ride of whatever I accomplished until the wheels fell off, but over the years I have learned I have to release that great feeling. In business we are closing one great deal and working through the fine details to get to the great accomplishment. At some point we will have to release this great feeling of one closed deal in order to move forward to the next stage. I found that when I held on to the greatness of the past it was hard to recognize the greatness of the present because the feeling of accomplishment’s arrival wasn’t the same. It was hard to recognize the present wins because I was waiting on the same past feelings and results. I had to stop running from present and future greatness by letting go of past feelings. Even when things are great in the moment I have to realize that I can’t hold on to this feeling for too long. Not all great accomplishments come in the same form…
