Selecting Anything vs. Being Selective

I recently had a phone call with one of my favourite coaches JuVan Langford, and during the conversation, he said, "are you selecting anything or being selective?"

This question resonated with me a lot and thus I decided to create this podcast. There is a huge difference between selecting anything and being selective.

When we select anything we take the next thing that shows up in our life - the next relationship, the next job, the next friend, the next boot camp and we don't select the thing that we WANT at our deepest desire.

This is a major distinction. Let me say that again. This is a major distinction.

Your goal can be to get fit or find a new healthier relationship but if you take the next workout that comes your way it's probably not going to be specific to the fitness goals you're trying to achieve. 

If you take the next man/woman who shows up in your life, they will probably not be the exact partner you dream about.

This is where we must honour ourselves. Honour our needs, our wants, our deepest desires and be selective.

Only when we're selective are we able to create the life we truly want. 

This will require two things of you - knowing what you want and saying "no" to all the distractions along the way. This will reinforce your new boundary. You will be tested again and again, tempted to go back to your old ways.

You will be tested again and again, tempted to go back to your old ways.

Friends will challenge your newfound convictions and you will question your new found beliefs. It's in these most you must hold strong. This is the moment where you are selecting what you want versus taking what shows up at your front door.

Think of like an adventure where you get to find exactly what you want ;)

Check out the podcast to hear more about being selective vs. selecting anything.

With Love,
