In yesterday’s Winning Strategies session, we did a deep-dive into 3 core strategies to support enhanced outcomes and elevated levels of focus, clarity and fun. Attending Members shared their wisdom and experience around these strategies, which definitely took the session to another level.
One of the winning strategies that we focused on was ‘Having our cake and eating it too’ and how to access that state of living in all areas of life and business.
It is something that I have developed in my life through the rule of no compromise, which is the foundation for having our cake and eating it too. It’s all about perspective and the belief that there is always a way to have, be or do this AND this, rather than operating under the self-imposed limitation of having to choose this OR this.
Making the change to this being our default view of the world is a process which takes practice. All that you need to start building a life of no compromise is:
- Believe that it’s possible to have your cake AND eat it too – if you can’t believe it, it won’t be possible for you. You may need to consider other times where you had your cake and ate it too (previous experiences, people you know, or stories you’ve heard) to support your mind in being able to accept the possibility of not compromising
- When you get to a difficult or rushed situation, which has you thinking you have to compromise and miss out on something (on your cake
), ask yourself, “How can I have my cake and eat it too?” or “How can I have both outcomes without compromise?” Most people believe in compromise, so they don’t ask for or expect a solution without compromise - Now be open and receptive to ways to have your outcomes without compromise. In my experience there is ALWAYS a way to do this. Depending on your levels of awareness, it my take longer to discover or appear, however if you truly believe that you can have your cake and eat it (Step 1) ask how (Step 2), it will always become available. Somewhere there’ll be an option for you to not compromise, be happy and enjoy the journey easily and almost effortlessly
The voice in your head may attempt to remind you that “Business and/or life is hard; you’ve got to compromise”.
But no.. you’ve previously chosen and reinforced that belief unknowingly and unconsciously.
Now you can remind yourself, it’s about having this AND this, not this OR this. With practise your belief will increase and so will your results
