In our Level 2 workshop workshop, we show people how to get started, so they actually live the true purpose they found in Level 1 — turn the dream into a reality, rather than just thinking about it.
But that requires a person to make a committed decision to actually live it, and that’s where people can often get stuck in indecision or hesitation. A person’s fear program sees such a decision as final — no turning back — and that freaks it out a bit. This is the internal resistance most people experience as anxiety, hesitation, doubt, and indecision.
They either decide not to live their purpose, or they put the decision off till later, or they limit their purpose to make it ‘safer’. All of which can suck the passion right out of a true purpose, so they eventually don’t do it or quit.
And that tends to happen most in the first 48 hours after making the decision — before any action is taken. That’s the danger zone. 48 hours is usually all the time it takes for their fear program to try and shut their decision down.
That’s why, ideally, a person should take action straight after they make that decision — or at least within that first 48 hours of making it. The action they need to take only has to be a small, easily achievable step or steps — so it’s not difficult — but any form of action gets a person moving, changing, progressing, and that’s a natural indecision killer.
Action builds momentum and confidence, which is why everything becomes easier once you’re moving forward. The trick is to get started and keep going, which is what we show you how to do in Level 2.
The rest you'll figure out as you go along. You always have. You always will. The next logical steps, solutions to problems, support and resources have a funny way of showing up on your path, as you move along.
That’s why it’s always a good idea to take action within 48 hours, to get you moving forward on that path. But be aware: the longer you put it off, the more chance fear has of putting it off forever.
