Stepping Out Beyond
By Jim Sniechowski
When you think of people who are living a fabulous life who comes to mind?
Bill Gates? Meryl Streep? Some prince, princess, or high dignitary? Bill Gates
is the richest man in the world and he is deeply involved in helping people
around the world. That's not only fabulous, that¡¯s almost fabled.
But if you knew someone who was going about their life without fame,
wealth, and public adulation, would you say that that person is living a
fabulous life?
For most people the answer would be ¡°No.¡±
And that makes the lives of 99%-plus of the people alive at any time un-
fabulous.
Are fame, wealth, and public adulation the only criteria for a fabulous life?
We think not.
What about:
** Being true to your deepest desire.
** Standing apart from the crowd. .
** Putting yourself on the line, which means you take big risks.
** Speaking your truth.
Anyone who can live according to those standards is truly living a fabulous
life.
But we all know that, no matter our intentions, most people (including those
who are successful) are confronted, almost daily, with obstacles to their own
fulfillment.
Yes, there are external obstacles. But the obstacles that really matter, that are
actually far more powerful, are the unconscious blocks and resistances that
dictate what you can and cannot do and who you can be - no matter what
you tell yourself consciously.
Those unconscious limits take many forms and dictate what you have
internal permission to pursue and what is forbidden to you.
But there is one limit-maker that applies to everyone, no matter their status in
the world, which can seriously prevent you from living your fabulous life.
And that is your willingness and capacity, or not, to advance beyond your
station..
By ¡°station¡± we mean the extent to which you can envision yourself out in
the world. Because when that vision is limited, then to that extent you
impose your own restrictions on how far you can go toward self-discovery,
self-acknowledgment, self-expression, and self-satisfaction.
You are not divine but human. You are not infinite nor eternal. So there will
always be some measure of limitation to which you can envision yourself
out in the world.
And, right now, what's the extent to which your vision propels you forward
toward a larger life? And, how is your vision currently limiting the way you
are presently living?
To live a fabulous life is to step out beyond the extent to which you can
envision yourself at any moment. Because when you do, you are in a
moment of discovery, of daring, of hearty imagination as you realize and
bring to life the rich gifts that exist within you.
No, you don't have to be fabled to be fabulous. But you do have to be
willing to step out. And step out again, and again. When you do, a truly
fabulous life awaits you.
