Please tell me that I am not the only one guilty of this. I set out a goal, I visualize it, and I review it on a steady basis, and yet I still haven’t taken one action—not even one baby step—toward accomplishing my goal.

I realized last year that I had one of those goals. Day in and day out, I would look at it and do nothing about it.

Now, I am a little slow, but I finally had the ah-hah. That goal—in my case learning to speak French—wasn’t a strong motivater. I really didn’t want it. If I did, I would have done something about it during all those months. When I got very honest with myself and clear, I could care less if I spoke French. It was a passing whim that I wrote down just so I would have a goal in my personal development area. When I changed my goals in that area—in this case to specific tasks that I thought would be character developing lessons for my children and would enhance our relationships together—immediate action took place.

I had been stepping down the wrong path, and because of that, I wasn’t going anywhere and only adding resistance.

Look carefully at the jellybean that you put before yourself. Is it something you really want? Or is it something you wrote down because you feel that you “should,” either out of your own sense of guilt or what others put on you. If you have one of those on the list, do yourself a favor and eliminate it and replace that jellybean with one that will work with you and your life purpose better.

Step It Up Living is not hard work where you force yourself to do things that you believe are good for you. Our purpose is not to recreate flashbacks to when you sat at the dinner table with your parent standing over you insisting that you eat your vegetables or else everything good in your life is over. Those kinds of events only created resistance in your life, and if you set up going after your jellybean in that fashion, it is a sure fire way to set yourself up for some major backlash. The rebellious child within you will throw a fit and demand to eat the ice cream or popcorn and feel she or he deserves it and won’t listen to reason until the consumption has occurred.

Step It Up Living is a regal way of life where things flow in natural order and beauty. As you look forward to the direction where you want to head, it is not a list of “shoulds” and “oughts.” You are the queen or king of your life, and you get to lead out into the world of your wishing and creation. It’s your choice what type of motivation you put in place. It is your choice how you position your jellybean in your environment. It is your choice if you allow your own and other weak-knee excuses to limit the glory of your rein. And last but not least, it is your choice if you pick a jellybean that is truly inspiring and worth the price you’ll have to pay.

If your world is one filled with love, beauty, and reward, uprisings will not occur. The people in your kingdom will notice the flow, the beauty, and the grace of your life and become inspired by it. They will naturally want to be around you and listen to your goals and aspirations and will want to help you make your kingdom and your vision a reality. You will be hailed as a great and blessed ruler. This is possible for each of us to achieve.
