The Promise You Make to Yourself

Introduction

I first ran today’s article four years prior to launching InTheCurrent.com. Since then, I’ve come to see even more clearly that regardless of the particular goal you might be working on at any given time, the pivotal moment happens earlier and is bigger than the goal itself. It involves a promise you make to yourself on a very deep level. Sometimes this promise is a subconscious one, yet bringing it up to your awareness gives it even more power. Why is this important? Because when you fail at certain goals or your plans get derailed, connecting with this deeper promise will be the difference between giving up and opening up.

Enjoy the article and feel free to share your promise with me. —Ginny Read more

After a 22-year career with the company, Rose became part of a downsizing. Though her severance package was fairly generous, she was very anxious about finding a job, as she was a single mother with the pressures of a high mortgage in California. After two months, Rose was offered a position with the same company in a different department. Though she was overqualified and the salary was less than what she had been earning previously, she accepted the offer. Her family’s and friends’ nervousness about her situation reverberated through the phone lines with a loud and clear message: YOU BETTER TAKE IT. Rose took their advice but inside her spirits sunk with the unmistakable feeling of taking “multiple steps backwards”. Read more

Decisions, Decisions

When I was growing up and having a difficult time making a decision, my father would tell me about the proverbial horse that starved to death while deciding between two bails of hay.  This story has its origins in a similar tale told by Aristotle in which a man who has access to both food and drink remains unmoved because he is as hungry as he is thirsty.  When faced with what we perceive as equivalent choices, the result can be a state of terminal indecision.
