# 6 – When Your Life/Business Timeline is Responsible for Your Dissatisfaction (and What You Can Do Instead - a podcast by Rebecca Ray

In Episode 6. I talk about how the life and business timelines we create for ourselves. (Thanks to our conditioning and exposure to culture and media) keep us stuck. Stop us from celebrating our progress, and result in bitterness and disappointment. Most importantly. I have some suggestions on what you can do instead of tying yourself in knots about what you should have achieved by the time you’re 30! Main Points: ·Life timelines are made up of a series of significant events marked by an arbitrary age in our heads. Usually chosen unconsciously as a result of the conditioning from our culture. The messages we received from parents and educators in childhood. and the stories we absorb from TV, movies, and the media at large. ·Life and business timelines screw up our ability to let life unfold. They feed into our need for control. They leave no room for possibility. They leave no room for the things that are even better than we can imagine. And therefore, have no way of planning, let alone making room for. Instead of wrapping your expectations around your life and/or business timelines. I want you to do this instead: 1. Allow your timing to be your timing 2. Integrate your focus to include not just the life you’re creating for future you. But also the life you’re currently living in the present moment 3. Consider what would be possible if you stepped into a place of trust, especially self-trust. 4. Consider what would be possible if you set goals, by stopped clinging to when and how those goals must be occur. 5. Redefine your definition of success to being in progress. I want you to give your life and your work and your contributions to the world room to move. to unfold in the timing that is unique to you, and in ways that might be better than you can ever imagine.
