What are you packing in your Bag!

Today I was reading a men's magazine and the article was focused on an actor that has broken through this year and his career is now literally in stellar mode and I began to ponder the following,  "the baggage that is ourselves".  We all carry with us things that bug us and which we are not particularly proud of, but I know for someone like me, I get around my concerns by setting myself goals and constantly trying to improve aspects of my life, which I know have defects, or errors in them.  I suffer from the "uncertainty complex", where I am often unsure of what will happen if I do something I would like to do and I make presumptions on the outcome of a particular thing, before I have even completed the task.  Many times I believe that I in fact hold myself back, because I tend to talk myself out of the result and over-analyze instead of completing the adventure and then dealing with the outcome.  I think many people tend to do this, in that they don't believe enough that they can accomplish something and fall short of the goal for this reason alone.  In golf there is a saying that "you will miss 100 percent of putts that you leave short, which is so true, because unless you hit the ball to the hole, it will never have a chance of going in.  If there is one goal to set only this year, it will be to follow through on the goals which I have already set and in fact to see some of the putts go in this coming year.  In the past I have been excellent at setting goals, but too many of them lie incomplete through one reason only - me - I  rather don't believe that I can achieve it, or I allow doubt and uncertainty to hold me back.  There must be a reason that I set the goal in the first place, so why not believe in the outcome.  We have support from various sources and the importance of spouses, kids, family and good friends giving legitimate and honest input, is very significant, and goes a very far way in committing to the task, or goal one sets.  In business it is called a "buy in" to a concept or vision.  Once the team is on board, then it is up to the proponents to make it happen.  So unshackle yourself this year, empty your bags of uncertainty, fear, unbelief and pack the following into your travel luggage - a healthy goal, a supportive team, an unwavering discipline, faith that is simple and bold and a healthy sense of humour.
