Ducks in a Row: the Worst State to Live In
by Miki Saxon
The start of every year is a time of resolutions, which I never believed in; resolutions waver, while goals flourish — not the same thing at all.
With the goal of helping you improve whatever results you seek in 2016, I suggest you relocate.
Choosing to move from the State of Denial to almost any other State will yield amazing results and unexpected benefits.
Of course, the greatest challenge is forcing yourself to leave a place that is fully in your control, completely customizable and personally satisfying.
The State of Denial offers great weather and no storms. It’s one of the only places where wishing for something different actually alters your reality.
The problem is that the State has a tiny population; one person, to be exact, with little chance of growing, as well as a limited range of vision, so it can be a very lonely place.
Worse, some people live in multiple States of Denial simultaneously and trying to move from all of them at the same time can lead to high stress and even depression.
Beyond that, most Denial States are normally at war with other Denial States and constant war is not only exhausting, but also precludes moving forward on other projects.
The secret of relocating is to first define that particular State’s boundaries.
Once you are sure of what you want to leave, then you need to define where you want to go.
You may find that reaching your ideal State is better done in smaller hops, as opposed to one great leap.
The key is that only you can define your current State’s perimeter or the boundaries of where you are headed.
