Pressure, Are You Applying Enough to Attain Your Financial Freedom
One of the things that I have discovered in my journey of personal development is that I must
make the choice to step into success or I will just stand in failure. I find that it is
necessary to apply pressure to myself in order to move forward and take those steps into
success. Do you apply pressure to yourself? Let me ask you a question: do you wait until the
last minute to finish a task, project or chore? Are you one of those people who accomplish 70%
of the project in the last 10% of the time?’
If you said yes to either of those questions then you are applying pressure to yourself. Some
of us work better by doing little bits and pieces of the project, task or chore as we go.
Others work much better when they are under the gun. When they know they ‘gotta get it done’,
‘it’s due tomorrow’, ‘it’s due in two hours’.. Some people are much better when they are
applying that pressure to themselves.
We need to be able to recognize where we fall on that scale and realize how best we react
because if we don’t apply any pressure at all to ourselves then we are we are not going to
learn, grow and step up into the success that we want in our lives. We all want success in our
lives, whether it is emotionally, in relationships, with our family, in our <a

form of success in our life, if not in ALL of these areas!
Many times, we human beings waste time feeling guilty. By doing this we are wasting our own
time and energy. When we get to the point of the deadline for that project, task or chore and
we’re feeling so guilty - ‘oh why didn’t I do something sooner? I should have spent more time!
Why did I spend my time on that thing and not get this project started?’ As human beings need
to learn that it is okay and to recognize that’s how we cope best, we work best under pressure.
So stop feeling guilty about it! Stop beating yourself up, because when we stop beating
ourselves up and wasting energy on the guilt, we have more time and more energy to invest in
the project, chore or task we want to complete.
The other thing that we do, in order to not apply the pressure, is we hide behind our
responsibilities. I used to do this so well - hide behind my responsibilities. Many times when
I have talked to people about a home based business opportunities in
Canada, they say ‘oh, well I don’t have the time to do something like that. I am so busy! I
have my family. I have my job. I have my charities. I have my hobbies.’ We all have those
different responsibilities in our life. But what we need to decide is ‘Is this
project/task/business something that I really want to do or rather is this
task/business/project going to create a result that I want. You have to begin by deciding what
result you want in your life and then arrange your time based on achieving those results. Ask
yourself : ‘Are there things I could rearrange or even drop all together to make time to do
this?’
Are you applying the pressure to your own life to do what it is you really want to do?
Sometimes those tasks or chores are not really things that we want to do, but we want that
specific end result so we do them. We want our relationships to work well. We want our
financial freedom. We want to be able to take our family to Disneyland. We want that specific
end result, the successful life. Today I just assisted my husband in setting up his financial
filing system, I sure did not want to spend time doing it, however I want the end result!! The
end result of the nice clean, tidy organized paperwork resulting in his taxes being completed
on time. I put the pressure on myself, assisted him and now I am very glad I did. Not only did
the paperwork issue get better but so did our relationship because my husband felt much
supported.
We need to focus on the results we want instead of hiding behind the excuses of ‘I don’t have
the time,I’ve got to go to work, I’ve got to take my daughter to soccer. I have got to take my
dog to the vet’. Yes, those are all things that need to be done. However when we decide that
achieving a certain task/chore/business is a priority that we could rearrange our time or give
up some unnecessary activities to free up time if we really wanted to. If we really want that
result, we could get it done, it just takes a decision. We will then stop investing in the
guilt. we will stop hiding behind the responsibilities and figure out a way to make it happen.
There is a universal law, like the law of gravity called the Law of Growth;. In order to exist,
we need to grow. How we grow is our choice. What seeds do we want to plant? Do we want to plant
the seeds of not getting something done? Or do we want the seeds of success habits, applying
the pressure and stepping into the successful life that we know we deserve. We all deserve a
successful life! Ask yourself “am I applying the correct pressure on myself to create my
successful life?” I hope you are!
