“Rise up and be the person that you are meant to be.” anonymous
When the Universe responds to your wish and dreams by sending an opportunity your way, what do you do?
Do you back down in fear because it will mean having to step up?
Or do you rise up to action and courageously take it up?
Fear in Disguise: Excuses
“Nothing diminishes anxiety than action.” Walter Anderson
An opportunity had opened up.

Albert Einstein Quotes has become a byword for sayings by a genius. We all know how brilliant a physicist he was. Sometimes, I would find my coaching clients getting this glint of awareness and appreciation when I inject one of his quotes during our conversation.
“The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.” Albert Einstein Quote #6 below
While I cannot wrap my brains around the Theory of Relativity, I enjoy Einstein’s wit and insight into life and consciousness. Even though we cannot verify whether this letter came from him or not, it is a fact that he has said many wise things in his lifetime. When we want to quote someone wise, his name will invariably come up.
I have used many Albert Einstein quotes on my site as well and I’d like to dedicate a single post to express my gratitude.
So, here is a list of 21 Best Albert Einstein Quotes…

“Everything is energy. Your thought begins it, your emotion amplifies it and your action increases the momentum.” Unknown
I came across the above quote and thought that it was wonderful that it captured the key factors involved for manifestation. Here is my elaboration:
Thought. Set clear intention. If you are sending out muddled thoughts, you get muddled results. It is also the reason why people get stuck. Your thought creates your reality.

“Don’t live your life by default. Claim the life that you are meant to live by manifesting it.” – Abundance Tapestry
Seniha was a lovely client whom I worked with from the start of this year. She was very kind in agreeing to share her story. Here was what she said…..
What is standing in your way of abundance could be money drama that is playing in your head. It may well be the same script that has been playing for many years. Unfortunately, while there are some positive themes, the script plays a mostly negative one especially in the area concerning money. In fact, there are days when it is kind of like a soap play.

“The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem. Do you understand?” Captain Jack Sparrow
Last Saturday, I was attending a talk when the presenter showed a slide that had the saying: “The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude to the problem.” Although the topic that was discussed that day was on how to handle an emotional teenager, it got me reflecting. It would appear that the saying is just as applicable for any one of us adults. So I thought that it would be nice to share more of my thoughts on this post.
To begin with, we believe that the problems we have start externally. We serve our egos by attempting to fix blame on others. And so it becomes the the fault of our parents, our caregivers, teachers, friends, colleagues, superiors, our children or our pet dog when anything goes wrong. It may also be the fault of the economy, the government, the financial institutions, the big boss and the big firms with influential power. Last but not least, it may be the fault of God!

I thought it would be interesting to share my perspective on 50 shades of fear. Clients had been coming to me with their issues which are rooted in various forms of fear. In case you are wondering, I did not read the book 50 Shades of Grey nor have watched the movie. However, I would like to borrow the theme of 50 shades.
As we already know, fear can manifest at different levels and degrees of negative emotions; which is influenced by the story that our minds tell. Our fears make up the stories we tell ourselves.
For instance, fear can be in the form of worry….or in more severe cases, it can grow into depression. Fear can also be in the form of nervousness or a diagnosed panic disorder. We can also express fear in the form of blame or if we feel it strongly, we become antagonistic. Obvious symptoms can range from breaking out in cold sweat, turning ashen white, or the racing of our hearts. Whether a niggling sense of anxiety or intense anger, all are signs of fear.

“A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.” Denis Waitley
Heard of the saying, “If you do what you always did, you will get what you always got.”
Up to this point, you have attracted all that you have as a result of your vibrational state. However, if you are hoping for more, you need to embody the Being state that will attract more. In the physical dimension, this could mean that you have to undertake actions that feel like a stretch…until you are the embodiment of the expanded state.
In short, go beyond your comfort zone.
Does this mean that you have to do the things that you dislike doing?
Does this mean that you have to engage in public speaking even if you have no plans to go on stage?

“You can have results or excuses. Not both.” anonymous
Do you make excuses?
Could your reasons behind your action or lack of action be really excuses in disguise?
If you don’t recognize your excuses, here are some examples….
I can’t.
I simply can’t.
I might.
I try.
…..when I am ready, I will.
…..maybe tomorrow.
…..maybe next week.
…..maybe next year.
It is impossible.
It is just too difficult.
Well, one of life’s worst habits is making excuses. Excuses that you can give in place of taking needed actions. If you consistently focus on how difficult doing something is, you can stop yourself from doing and becoming your best.

“For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.” Steve Jobs
Do you have a Plan B?
If you don’t, perhaps it is time you put some thought into it. Plan B could well be more important than your Plan A.
I was reading a Straits Times article written by a career coach on the importance of having plan B last week and felt compelled to add my thoughts about it.
The Difference between Plan A and B
Plan A forms your corporate life, the one whereby you spend most of your waking hours in an office. On the other hand, Plan B forms your post-corporate life. Plan B consists of activities that you can engage in outside of working hours as an employee. You could be doing social work or it could be something that is income-generating.
Most people – perhaps including yourself – are caught up with Plan A. If you are in a corporate, Plan A alone probably keeps you very busy. Already used to the same routine, you may even experience a sense of inertia to explore avenues beyond Plan A.
