How To Be A Rockstar 101, Lesson 1

This will begin my series on how to be a rockstar. Hang with me, I am flying by the seat of my pants here...

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

The first and possibly hardest step is to believe in yourself. I have been blogging for about 2 years now about personal development; yours, mine and ours. That's right personal development is about everyone, not just me and not just you. We ALL need to hop on board the PD train. Why? Because life has a way of taking its toll. The GOAL of your SOUL is to be better because of those things...not to let them beat you down.

I have been to the worst of worse places. Hell. You probably have too. We all have a personal hell. HOWEVER, we always have 2 choices. We can choose to be angry, resentful, bitter, depressed, consumed, destructive and depleted...OR...we can choose to get creative, rebuild, heal, forgive, let go, move on, stand up, love and regenerate.

Making the second choice is really, really, really hard work. In fact, it is often difficult to know where to start. It took me years to find the starting place. My heart was all over the map, smashed to smithereens, and I was literally finding little pieces of me all over the place. It took me about two years to pick them all up, and I still find little bits every once in awhile. Thats why I like God, He never forgets the little piece of you that got stuck under the refrigerator. Someway, somehow...He will show you what happened to that little piece.

So back to lesson 1. Where do you start? How do you take the first step to being a rockstar? Well, get a note pad and start writing things down. Take a writing utensil and just start writing...it doesn't matter about what. If you are mad, right about being mad. Tell that notepad what you want, and how your life should look. Sometimes its a good idea to take a long walk, and then sit down and just let your pen flow and write anything that comes out. Do this for a few days or a few weeks, until your pen gets tired. Until you have no more words to let out. When you are ready to be more constructive in your writing, then start making lists under these labels:

Health
Wealth
Realtionships
Creativity/Inner Child
Helpful People
Spirituality/Knowledge
Family
Fame
Career

Write your goals under these lists. Start with long term goals and think backwards. For example start with 7 years from now, what will your ideal health be like? Then 5 years, then 3, then 6 months from now. You will find that you will find a starting place by accepting what your long term goals are.

This can be a difficult process. Most people do not like to write. It is even more difficult to come to terms with your subconscious. If you need help, feel free to contact me. I am constantly revisiting this process. In fact, I will do it with you side-by-side.
