CALL YOUR OWN SHOTS

What does calling your own shots mean? The primary principal that we’re dealing with here is that of success. In Hand Analysis, success is represented by your thumb, as in “Thumbs up!” Success is defined as creating the results that you want.

There is a big difference between looking successful and being successful. You can look successful all day long, but unless you are really being successful, you’re going to feel like a failure. Looking successful is creating the results that you think someone else thinks you should create. Being successful is recognizing your own unique fears (your Life Lesson), acknowledging those fears, facing them, perhaps even talking about them, and moving through them to create the results that you want.

Remember, it’s not about not having fear, it’s about not letting fear stop you from being successful! Fear, unchecked, is one of the biggest unconscious motivators on the planet. If you are trying to avoid your fear by denying it or pretending it doesn’t exist, it will be running your life. The goal is for you to have your fears, not the other way around!

What do you do with fear?
The way to move through fear is to bring it out into the light of day and take a look at it. Get really curious about it. What is it made up of? What are its components? What would it mean if your fear came true? Fear cannot stand up to scrutiny. It dissolves.

90% of our fear is just that – fear. It is not reality. That’s not to say that your fear is not real, it is very real for you. But in reality, its physical manifestation will probably not happen. And if it does, it will probably not happen as badly as you imagine it, you will learn a tremendous amount from it and gain invaluable life experience! So, I suggest you announce your fear, as in, “At the risk of failing here, these are the results that I’d like to see and am attempting to create!”

Are you ready to take action?
Success is within your power, providing that you are willing to risk taking action to create the results you want. The phrase “I want” + the word “action” = power. In Hand Analysis, power is represented by your index finger. When you hold out your thumb and your index finger, you’ve got a little gun. This becomes a physical reminder to you that when you are being powerful by taking action to create the results that you want, you are calling the shots in your own life.

In conclusion, if you want to be successful, you must be willing to take action on your own behalf and attempt to create the results that you want. In doing that, you are calling your own shots.
