When the dream is big enough, the facts don't matter. Where there is a clear desired outcome, there is a way. Today I offer my experience as the strength and hope that career professionals everywhere, will release the guilt, the sorrow, the logical reasons for being stuck, in favor of a more desirable outcome. It starts today. It starts with challenging your now, and accepting an even more amazing outcome WHEN it arrives.
Why is uncommon success possible, when the statistics suggest a high probability of failure to even start that transformation? What is happening now, is less predictive of the future, than what you do with the moment you are given.
Why do we engage service providers? Sometimes it is to rule out, sometimes to mitigate and other times, to transform. Being very clear on your desired outcome can do wonders in how and who you welcome to your coaching transformation team!
Imagine going to a career coach who, in the course of determining your transition from where you are to where you want to be, they take a detour into statistically why you are an exception to the ideal client. If the goal is 'working full time in an environment that rewards and recognizes my talents', why in the world would one embrace the opposite condition? People who have been terminated from a job, wrongfully or otherwise, tend to have a more difficult time getting gainful employment.
Service Providers please remember your responsibility to the solution. Statistically,
unemployed people experience greater health problems that suggests the very nature of their feelings of lack, are contributing to the health problems and possibilities in their present. So your responsibility as a service problem, is to find the 'way' not to explain the 'limitation'.
Imagine going to a doctor for a serious indication of cancerous symptoms, and having them tell you that because you are
victim of assault, your risk of cancer is now statistically and incrementally increased.
My friends, I share a very personal strategy for dealing with this insanity. Insanity is doing or observing the same thing over and over again to prove the point that you are a victim of circumstance, and you can not, statistically accomplish that which you aspire to do.
If you studied a life experience based upon trauma, you would be able to correlate some logical evidence, explaining undesirable consequence. If everyone around you is a victim of their decisions, and you are as well, what statistics are you studying to determine your desired outcome?
My Story:
I recently started working with a doctor by teleconference, thousands of miles away from my home. Why would I choose to work with a doctor by teleconference who can not see me, when there are so many local doctors that can? Common sense, my friends, I am looking for uncommon transformation of my health issues, not a logical explanation why I am statistically stuck.
Fortunately, Dr. Gottlieb knows human nature, and human possibility. When it comes to my recovery, I want to put myself in the hands of a transformation expert that knows the physics of triumph that can outweigh the volume of evidence for failure. Fear can cause you to impose some mighty limitations on others. Statistically speaking, 100% of us are going to die, sometime, and the predominant or subconscious study could introduce some crazy making exercises-- that's fine, if it identifies the problem and then the solution, but if stops short at identifying and explaining the logical limitation, it is not enough.
People don't need reasons or statistics for why it's hard to get results, they really need to embrace the possibility for defying the odds, and creating the uncommon outcomes, that don't make news.
I was fired from a job in an industry I dearly loved. Analyzing the facts of why I was fired would not made for as near an interesting story, as the success that followed. Getting fired was the BEST thing that ever happened to me, because it freed me from the traditional thinking that someone without a degree, a survivor of poverty, violent crime, and serious health problems, could ever be happily employed again.
I survived 4 years of what I was fairly certain might be my demise. In 2001, one month after the attacks on my employers, and my universe, when my employer's office World Trade Center 2, several months after my interview with a women's minority engineer issue on career agility, I would have to put that healthy optimism to a trial.
FACTs: Assault, poverty, and tragedy was no stranger to my family.
* Victims of violent crime are x times more likely to experience serious illness later on in life.
* People on the poverty line find it harder to stay gainfully employed in good health.
I am a 40 year old productive member of modern living today. I enjoy being the mother of 2 beautiful kids, I enjoy my work, I enjoy serving others, I enjoy helping them create uncommon results. I am the survivor of a violent criminal hostage situation that nearly cost my life, some 20 years earlier. I have worked at my employer now for 11 years, despite the fact that I was fired from a job earlier, handicapped as a youth, lost a best friend at 16, survived a violent assault, and lacked the more traditional means to advantage.
I have lived a life rich in experience, and steeped in a bit more drama than most. To whom much is given, much is also expected. For every reason you give me for why I will continue to fail, I will give you a reason on why you must not give me such statistics without exceptional results case studies. Statistics are fun to explore at the surface, unless they are pointing steadfast limitations your way.. Deviant's to statistics that gain uncommon results are far more interesting. Somewhere we were taught to assign and accept "terminal" as a state and a reason for many more things than warranted.
If we are painstaking about this phase of our life story, we will be amazed before we are halfway through. We can know a new freedom and a new happiness, by not regretting or repressing the pass, nor wishing to shut the door on it. We embrace this new freedom and happiness, and we look for the uncommon results.
The time to hesitate is through,
lets stop our embracing the art of our mire, and start embracing the possibilities it affords us.
You can defy the odds, you have already done so.
