UnAble is a state where you feel like you’re in a desert with no tools, no map, and no idea how to get to that oasis you see in the distance. It’s like wanting to play softball at an Olympic level but you don’t even know how to swing a bat.
In the land of UnAble, your brain might be spinning the same old record of “I can’t do it,” “I’m not cut out for this,” or “Maybe I need a miracle to get through.” It’s like wanting to write a book, but you’re just sitting there at the computer, looking at Amazon, not knowing where to start.
Now, imagine you’re at a party. Everyone’s dancing, laughing, and having a good time. But you? You’re just there on the sidelines, feeling like you’ve got two left feet. That’s how UnAble feels. It’s frustrating. It’s the chilly wind that blows when you’re standing outside looking in at the warm, cozy room of “I Can.”
In this state, you might be that cat on the edge, hesitant to jump. You see the gap, you want to leap, but your legs won’t cooperate. It’s like there’s this invisible wall holding you back from reaching out for what you want. Instead of making moves, you’re making excuses. Instead of breaking through, you’re breaking down.
Alright, let’s stop the sob story and change the channel. Here’s the road map to the land of Can-Do:
- Reality Check: First off, let’s get real. Where are you at? What skills are you missing? What’s the actual size of the gap? No drama, just facts.
- Skill Up: Dive into learning mode. Grab books, hit online courses, get your hands dirty. Your brain is a muscle, let’s work it out.
- Network: Find your tribe. Connect with people who’ve been there, done that. Their stories, advice, and support are your golden tickets. (hop into the On Purpose Group on Facebook)
- Mentor Magic: Get a mentor, someone who can show you the ropes and give you a nudge when you need it.
- Small Wins: Celebrate the baby steps. Completed a certification? Celebrate it. Posted on social about your business? Celebrate it. Small wins are the breadcrumbs leading to the big win.
- Mind Over Matter: Shift your mindset from “I can’t” to “I’m learning.” From “It’s impossible” to “It’s a challenge.”
- Take the Plunge: Enough with the hesitations. Take a step, take a leap, make the move. Action dispels fear and crushes the UnAble narrative. Count backwards from 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, take action!
As you march down this path, you’ll find the UnAble shadows fading away, and what emerges is a new narrative. A narrative of ability, of action, of a person who’s ready to transform the world, ready to inspire, motivate and empower the world. Remember, the only person who’s been holding you back is you. So, smash through UnAble, and let’s transform the world one person at a time!
