Addicted..Making My Life The Best

Are You an Addict? I Know I am.

Did you know you can be addicted to just about anything? I love beginnings. I love the excitement I feel when starting a new project and making a new commitment to something. I especially love starting a new friendship with someone I click with.

I think probably a lot of people are like this too. You more than likely are since your are reading this!

But there is a problem with this, I do great starting something (a new business, workout schedule, practicing, writing in journals). I get really into it, and I go full speed. Then, I get distracted or hit a speed bump and I switch gears and move onto a new "thing".

I'm not sure why but I think it has something to do with growing up in a traumatic house. I had to be ready for the next incident. Maybe it is a habit or possibly a way to avoid tough issues. (Can I procrastinate more?)

Are you an "action addict" too? This is a powerful yet limiting quality!

So, I asked: "Do I suffer from ADD"?; "Is there something wrong with me?"; "Do I have a fear of succeeding?"; and "Do I cut and run when the going gets tough?"

I know there is some fear of success (I will tell you more about that later). I know too, that I love the excitement, the challenge and the adventure of doing "something", "anything" new. It gets my blood pumping and my creative mind rolling like an avalanche.

The ability to identify my weaknesses and strengths are definitely a necessity but to learn how to reign in my weaknesses and use my strengths to develop them into something greater is a real blessing.

I found a lady who has offered information and wisdom that I have never found before. She offered some great info., which I was happy about and satisfied. But, then she kept delivering, again and again. Her support, dedication, and program has changed my life.

Her name... Mary Gersten.

I can relate on many of the points you mentioned. Fear of success is a major issue. i have learned that I must identify what is really causing a barrier and attact it directly. There is nothing wrong with fear, it usually means there is something great on the other side of it. You just have to be careful not to let your fear dictate the decision you make.
