Today I was listening to the new audio program by Joe Vitale called Abundance Paradigm. And in it, he was sharing new ways to erase our limiting beliefs. As I was driving along, I had a huge, Ah-Ha moment.
You can’t make a mistake. If you are focused on your dream and you see it as your reality. Then you cannot make a mistake. The Universe self-corrects. Say you were wondering which step to take. It doesn’t really matter which one you choose.
Now, you should definitely listen to your intuition and choose the one that ‘feels’ better. But in the long run, it doesn’t really matter. If it isn’t the ‘right’ choice, the Universe will close a door and open a window.
So many people (me included) get ‘analysis paralysis’. We have many ‘good’ choices in front of us, but we’re concerned about making the right choice. The Universe likes action. Choose anything. Take a step. The Universe is doing most of the work to bring your dream to fulfillment. Take a step. The Universe is on auto-pilot.
You can’t make a mistake as long as you hold fast to your dream. The Universe is conspiring to help you. Take a step. You are headed in the right direction. Take a step. Have courage. Take a step.

Debbie, very timely post for me, for the last month have had ‘analysis paralysis’ on a step to take in my business. Until reading your post had never looked at making choices as you say. Like you this is a huge Ah-Ha moment for me.

Good for you Perry. It was such a huge Ah-ha for me too! That any step toward your goal is a step in the right direction. Even if it doesn’t work out. It leads you to the next step. Business success is not a straight line. It’s a series of steps and maneuvers that take you from point A to point B.
One Love,

Your article really make sense dreams and reality differs in many ways and always put in mind that reality bites no matter how painful and unacceptable reality is you should not keep yourself in your safest dream.

Hi Debbie,
Taking action is my mentality nowadays. Take the step! Move forward and just do something- I always tell myself. It’s better to do something and learn from it than to sit and think and think and go nowhere.
After we have thought things through there’s a moment where we have to just do it. And if our action is not getting the results that we want – we need to reach out and ask others to help us- brainstorm to improve the kind of action and just start doing things. Fear is truly a stopper and just say kick it in the face or else we will sit and our lives will have gone by and all we did was think. Great topic. I know that God has taught me many lessons from doing things the wrong way. He always hows us the way if we have faith.
Blessings ♥,

And I love your Awareness Guide in your post Intent vs Goals Part 2! Most people focus on the outcome, not the feelings they are trying to achieve. The Universe responds much faster to feelings than to things. I have just revised my goals for 2011 to focus more on feelings! {{{{{hugs}}}}}

It is a very empowering thought for me as well! I like to think that there are many paths to your success, not just one right one. And even if a choice doesn’t work out… it doesn’t mean it wasn’t the right one at the time. Maybe there was a lesson in there somewhere. Here’s to a fantastic 2011!

Debbie,
You are so right. Just take a step. I have taken many steps that have not immediately led to my “success.” But in looking back, these steps were actually stepping stones. Each step, successful or unfruitful, taught me something that I suddenly understand a year or two later. It feels like adding many small pieces to a huge puzzle. Taking the steps is what counts.
On January 2, I created my very first blogtalkradio show, Happy New Year-Healing Through Love. I talked about setting your intentions for 2011, using “right” mindset, and visualizing the end of the year and looking back on all you will have accomplished. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/drerica
.-= Dr. Erica Goodstone´s last blog ..All You Need Is Love =-.
Hi Erica,
That is so exciting about your new radio show. And you are right, by reflecting back on previous accomplishments, we can ‘see’ the stepping stones. I never thought of it that way. Thanks!
I agree! Thanks.
Debbie,
What a great truth for us to read here on January 4, 2011! It is so very empowering and it will help us all reach our New Year’s Resolutions and move us closer to our dreams.
I am a big fan of Joe Vitale and I’ll have to get my hands on this audio program. It has to be fantastic by Joe and with a name Abundance Paradigm.
Thanks for much for sharing it.

I am going through Think and Grow Rich for the 6th time, with my mastermind group, studying one chapter a week. Every time I go through it, it’s at a deeper level. During one round, my intention was to dig deep and find out what it was that was holding me back in my business. This time through, my key word is ACTION!! So your post is very timely for me!
Thank you!

Hi Willena,
Don’t you love the insight you get from re-reading great books? I find that to be true, too. Every time I re-read a book, I get so much more out of it. I love that you set an intention before reading the book. Answers to our questions are all around us. We just need to be open to receiving them.

I myself am a fan of Joe Vitale’s. Initially I was reluctant in his ‘universe conspiring to help you’ theories until it actually happened! I’ve long since stopped attempting to regret poor decisions and just dive right in based on my intuitions. Apart from the peace of mind it brings, my life became abundant in all its facets too.

What a wonderful message that’s so very true. Time and time again, I’ve experienced evidence of the universe’s gifts of abundance when it comes to the realization of a goal that is in alignment with my defined dreams. I know that I’m open to receiving when I’m engaged in focused action, rather than stressing over the end result. I know that it will all work out the way it should in the end.
Thanks for introducing me to Joe Vitale – I’d love to discover more of his insights.

Hi Debbie,
Not being paralyzed with too many options or too few options or by fear or doubt or perfectionism or anything else and just taking that step is a terrific message to start off the year. And it is true that sometimes we’ll make mistakes. But who cares, nobody is really perfect. And although doors may close, that is part of the growing up process, but we do get those windows in return. And hey, then we can go shopping for curtains! – Rob
Rob Wilson recently posted..You Get What You Pay For Or Not – Or A Tale Of 2 Tech Supports
Hi Rob,
You’re so right. Moving forward is the most important thing. And if we take every closed door as an opportunity to ‘shop for curtains’, our dreams will become our reality!
One Love,

Debbie, what a great post, and so true. There are times when I just sit and stare at my screen and can’t figure out what to do, and that old over-analyzing just kicks in. You’re right, there are no mistakes, just ways of not how to do things. Once we figure out that it doesn’t work so well, just try something else.
Hope you had a fabulous holiday season and congrats on being the no. 1 syndicator!!!

Hello Debbie
I struggle with trying to make the right decisions all the time. Its not something that is easy to get over even if it is instilled into you by other people; saying and telling you that it is o.k to make mistakes. Its something very hard to believe, but what you just said, here does seem to make sense. Sometimes life does tend to work out for the better even though you do screw up a few times. But if you continue to work on your screw ups I guess the message is saying that you will eventually get over that hurdle once and for all. I might have to read this over a few times. I really liked this article. Cause I too write about self help stuff. But even though I write about it sometimes, it’s a hard lesson to follow even when your teaching it. But I continue to fight for what I want in life till I get what I want. You inspired me to write yet another self help article, which I may include some tid bits from this. Thats if you don’t mind of course. Well thanks for sharing I really enjoyed this very much. And The picture of the ducks put a nice cute kinda touch to your story.

Hi Steven,
I think all of us that write about self help, really want to help others. But if you really want to learn something, teach it to someone else. I struggle with trying to choose the ‘best’ move all the time. Any move is better than no move. You have to be in the game to be playing! Feel free to use anything in the article that might help others. Looking forward to getting to know you better.

I believe this is absolutely true. As someone who went completely down a path for a long time, only to have it disintegrate when the time was right and other opportunities open, I am a fan of this philosophy.
Someone left a comment earlier about ‘stepping stone.’ It is so true that you can look behind and see all the stepping stones that lead to where you are right now. And not all of those stepping stones were exactly perfect, but they served the purpose to moving you along the path. Thanks for stopping by!
Hey Debbie,
Great post. I loved the part where you say, “So many people (me included) get ‘analysis paralysis’. We have many ‘good’ choices in front of us, but we’re concerned about making the right choice. The Universe likes action.” I am right there with you. Everyone thinks there is a template to follow, truth be told “You Are the Template,” do want ever you want and the rest will fall in place.
Have a good one,

Hi Debbie,
So true on the analysis paralysis because this stops people from moving forward. Too many ideas is another one of mine. Sometimes you have to focus on what’s most important instead of over-doing because you have too many ideas. It can be just as bad as having no ideas

Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Janette,
Too many ideas bogs me down too! That’s when I like to meditate and try to feel which idea works for me. I get so much insight from meditating.

I could not agree more. Taking action is by definition the right approach. Even if it is not the most optimal action you choose. While you are taking your action you will learn if there is a better way to do what you are doing and you can correct. Had you done nothing, you would not have found this better way.

Hi Debbie, I luv this post! The concept that you shared is something that I had not heard about before in those same terms, and at this present time, was something that I needed to come across.

Very true Debbie! We have only one life to live why we’re hindering ourselves from the choices that we face everyday.

Thanks Debbie for the encouragement.

Hi, Debbie….I just drop by, and I am amazed by your post. Though, I do not agree with the second stanza…People can’t avoid mistakes, no matter how they perfect, or no matter you tried to focus on the things you wanted. But learning on your mistakes makes you feel brave and more human, I think.

Excellent post! If you stay focussed and keep moving towards your dream, any mistakes you do make are simply learnining experiences.
Thanks for sharing your Ah-ha moment! Most of us have been brought up in a world where there are absolutes of right and wrong. Public school tests ring a bell for anyone? When you’ve spent a life time being penalized for getting it wrong, you learn to hesitate, think about it – perhaps too long. I love your advice to just take action! Wonderful!
Hi Teresa,
You are so right. School tests told us there was only one right answer! But we all know there are many paths to happiness and success. I think you just helped me unlock another cause of my ‘analysis paralysis’! School Tests! Thanks so much. I’m going to add that to my ‘Self Discovery’ journal!
