Title: Limitation Lawyer

Today, I give myself a new title: Limitation Lawyer. The firm I work for is fantastic and we are always looking for new clients; however, for the time being, our primary client is using all our services to capacity.

His name: Nick James.

I was having a conversation with a friend in which he proclaimed, "...well, that's just the way I have always been." As I presenced my fear with him, I had to take a good look at myself and ask: "in what ways have used this excuse for the results I want to create in my life?"

First off, I know what you're thinking, "get better friends," Right? Maybe, but it's congruent today! What I've got in my life, right now, is certain people allergic to change. Obviously I am among great company; on some level I have used these same motives in my defense.

As Gay Hendricks teaches, "you don't have to go inside to find your unconscious, for it's all around you," based on results, I am more committed to making excuses why I can't have the things I want, than actually having the things I say I want. From money, romance and even having more fun; I have a bible-size of justifications and explainations for why I can't have the sort of life I want. That's a lot of fear!

...and how about you? Are you a great defense counsel in your own life? Furthermore, how have you defended yourself, rather than just face your fear directly? What issue most wants your attention today? Take it on!

Finally, I am willing to accept that I argue for my limitations! Yeah!
