January 18, 2017, TGIW: Unhumping Hump Day…Gap Crossing

“Your problem is to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.” –Earl Nightingale

There’s where we are now. There’s where we want to be.  There’s a gap.

The first inclination is to be diminished by the gap. Just like when you first realize something about yourself that was in a blind spot, and then use that insight to beat yourself up.

However, learning to positively “mind” the gap — applying three mind techniques of which we’re all capable — allows us to be empowered vs. disempowered by the gap.

First, Acknowledgement. Celebrating the mere fact that we’re ambitious enough to have recognized a gap gives the journey a forward-moving energy and vibration. Woohoo! Look at where you want to be! Aren’t you the bomb for realizing that?

Second, Visioning. Taking attention away from the pity-party of this side of the traverse and putting it on the other side, picturing and feeling the “what it will be like when”, initiates magnetic forces which pull out new ways and means for getting there.

Third, Pro-active Matching.  Constant comparisons of results achieved with results desired from a “Where’s Waldo” perspective, finding every near hit vs. near miss, creates tailwind vs. headwind.

What inspired gap of your own can you wrap your mind around this week?

Got gap crossing?

“What I really want and what I’ve been thinking. That’s it folks! That’s all the work there is in closing the gap.” –Abraham Hicks
