PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR LIFE

In order for you to make and keep the personal manifesto, you’ll also need to become the observer of it. Just as an actor would observe someone to portray them, observing your life allows you to live in it fully.

In his book, The E-Myth, Michael Gerber describes how a business owner, in order to be most successful must work not only in his business but also work on his business.

As your coach, I ask you to do the same for your life.

You can’t just be in your life, you must work on it.

To do this, take the time to pay attention to your life instead of just surviving each day.

Your world is giving you feedback and clues that you need to stop to observe.

It is showing you the way, and any obstacles are part of that journey.

By observing your life as if you were outside it, you accelerate positive changes because you learn more quickly about yourself and your life.

To observe your own life requires learning to be an observer of all life.

It also requires some of the detachment (not taking things personally) that we explored in Blueprint 3.

You must step back and take cues from the work around you.
