Living Your Sparked Second Half
Education:Self-Improvement
EP246: In this episode I share a concept I learned from the book “You Are Awesome” by Neil Pasricha. I loved hearing his explanation of the invisible staircase and how we tend to get stuck because we can’t “see” the steps ahead of us.
Neil backs this concept up with facts, sharing studies that have been done that explain how our human brain works to keep us from thinking positively about the future when we hit a roadblock in life. As he also explained, it’s helpful to look back and see the steps we’ve already taken and how we kept climbing in spite of past roadblocks which is something I encourage you to do after listening to this episode.
I also explain a concept I came up with when thinking about sharing this today… The staircase landing!
Think about what a landing is… A stop on the way to the next step. It’s quite possible you’ve found yourself lingering for too long at a point on your staircase of life, hesitating on taking a step forward due to fear of the unknown. I know I’ve done that!!! Because if we can’t “see” what’s ahead, it must be bad, right?!
And maybe this concept resonates because you find yourself on a landing right now…
Listen in and learn the valuable lessons of the invisible staircase and how you can use it to understand that the faster you take the next step, the sooner you will get out of that bad place you may be standing (or sitting!) in.
It’s just as Neil says: You are simply doing a crappy job of picturing what lies ahead! Because we ALL do that! So how about you start the practice of picturing the things you WANT in your life? What a great idea!
After hearing this lesson, you’ll likely realize how obvious it is that when you have faith that better things will come and you create a positive picture of the things you desire, the more quickly you’ll take the next step.
So don’t delay on taking that next step on your invisible staircase of life!!!
And enjoy the climb!
