Bleep the Gremlin, and Enjoy the Ride

We all hear a lot of voices on a daily bases. Many of them serve us, most us them to do not.

We hear the voices of the media, friends and family, business associates, clients, customers, and then there’s our own. All to often the voice that we hear the loudest is the one that says:

"you can’t do that! Who do you think you are? Why would anyone want you? Nobody’s going to buy that, pay for that, etc." And my all time favorite, "Be realistic!"

(Remember that nothing is ‘realistic’ before it happens! Electricity wasn’t realistic, the pc wasn’t realistic, equal rights, the ability to reach millions of people via a blog or video from your living room…)

I call that "inside’ voice my gremlin. We all have one!

The next time yours rears his ugly head, I encourage you to actively do something about it. Don’t just push it aside, or try not to hear it, take action!

Many of my coaching clients have a picture of my "O power girl" in their journals. She is there to remind them that those voices lie! And to actively stop them in their tracks. She is there at the waiting, ready to ‘kick that gremlins butt’ when he shows up! I encourage you to actively use this visual, create your own, or "bleep" that voice when it shows up! Write that nasty thought on a piece of paper and strike it out with a big red pen, or ball it up and throw it away!

It is a liar, and a thief. It is a dream killer, and a vampire that is holding you back and robbing you and the world of your full potential!

Remember, your car has all that it needs to somewhere. It has the power, the gas, etc. But it’s not going anywhere until you get in the driver’s seat, put it in gear, and step on the gas!

So, go kick some gremlin butt! Bleep as you need to, and step on the gas!

Enjoy the ride!
