Dr. Cliff Roperez is a life coach, author, motivational speaker, and CEO of Trails Social Corps. His latest book, Burn you Boats, Bomb the Bridges, and Fight to Succeed 9781689600064, is a comprehensive guide to help people work towards and achieve their goals. Roperez believes that everyone has the right to lead a life of their own making, instead of following a crowd. Our dreams and passions are where our success and happiness lies. For far too long, society has had people believe that following our dreams is selfish and egocentric. Roperez wants to discourage this common belief, we can lead a successful life by following our dreams. With this book, Roperez aims to encourage and motivate people to move forward in life and towards their dreams and passions.
One of the most important steps to achieving your dreams, according to Roperez, is cutting off all the ways back to your previous life, all the back ways, and back up plans. Doing this will motivate you to move forward in life without looking back. If you are stuck in a certain place in life and want to move forward, here are a few other ways to do that, by Katherine Hurst:
· Change Your State
Change your attitude by changing your state. This is a popular personal development technique for a good reason, and it can take all sorts of different forms.
For example, if you’ve been indoors a lot, step out of your house and spend the whole day outside.
If you’re feeling despondent, get your body moving by dancing or exercising. If you’re hearing the critical voices of others (or yourself), drown it out by putting on your most optimistic music and singing along.
In addition, reach out to people who make you feel good and who know your true self. Sometimes, just talking to them will be enough to shake you out of your funk.
· Block Out Negativity, And Take Ownership
If your current funk was partly triggered by the negativity of others (or by people telling you how you should behave), turn your full attention to your mission in life and to your vision of what your realized dream will look like.
Your life is under your full control, and no one else’s! After all, you know what’s best. Get in tune with the sense of trust you have in yourself, e.g. by repeating your most empowering affirmations or by writing down all the negative messages that have been bothering you and then writing down positive beliefs that counteract these limiting statements.
· Let Go Of The Past
Chances are you are looking at your future life through filters of fear and failures from your past. And this is what is holding you back from truly moving forward.
You need to realize that your past is exactly that, the past. This doesn't mean that you should try and make yourself forget about your past. Because, firstly, it is pretty much impossible, and, secondly, the past has still taught you some valuable lessons. What you need to do is to let go of the negative emotions and limiting beliefs, so that they lose power over your future.
Of course, it is sometimes easier said than done.
· Start Small
If you’re stuck in a funk because you have a particular task you don’t want to tackle and you’re paralyzed by the thought, find something small that you can do in order to secure a “win.”
Small steps take you on long journeys. Break your biggest, unpleasant task down into lots of little sub-tasks and do at least one of them today. Even this act can help you feel like you’re moving forward and can make dreaded or intimidating tasks seem manageable. And if one of the broken down tasks looks too big, break that down as well!
