What happens if you’re doing the work to walk on the road to success…if you’re giving without want…if you’re adding value to the world through a media platform…if you have solutions to problems ready to deliver…but “no one” is listening?
Direct marketing, that finite word applied to the infinite ways humans interact is a funny thing. It has big upsides and it has big downsides.
The upside is that you can track what’s going on. The downside is that it narrows your vision to looking only at things you can track. Even worse, it limits what is three, four and even five dimensional into just two dimensions.
The crazy part is that you don’t know if people are listening. You can’t “track” listening. You can’t “measure” inspiration. You can’t put a number on insight delivered. You can’t attach a label to change effected.
And really, tracking was created by the mind in an effort to perpetuate its own existence and give it some sense of control over what is obviously NOT in its control.
Here’s a question you can ask yourself:
How much validation do you need to do the work you’re here to do? When must it come? Is that something you’re going to demand from the Universe? Are you demanding that happen when and where you want before you continue?
Are you waiting for PROOF this is the right thing for you? Or is the world waiting for YOU to do the right thing?
Have you ever considered that only YOU can give the validation required to create the validation “out there” that you seek?
The mind will not go willingly into this land where facts, figures and numbers do not apply. It will begin to protest from the very first step, “If no one is listening, how will I be successful, how will I pay the bills, how will I provide for my family, how will I become rich and famous! I just need some attention to get this going!”
From my perspective, success begins in the heart and works outward from there. Sure you can use all of the tools available to grow and nurture that success, but the mind will never provide a signal strong enough to create it from nothing.
Find the work you’re here to do, do the work you’re here to do, figure out, over time, how to make sure everyone (including you!) wins because of that.
