Your Giant is very likely something you created. In most cases, he’s something you’ve invited into your life of your own volition, your own choice. The good news is that he’s also someone you can invite “out” of your life. Although he easily wedged his way into your life, he will not be escorted out as easily. Whether easy or not, Your Giant is a problem, a huge hindrance; and once you decide that he absolutely does not need to be around, you must take decisive action......Let’s decisively move forward with resolve and excitement. It’s time to Slay Your Giant!....
Truth is of paramount importance. Indeed, the truth will set you free....
There is a very special place within your heart of hearts and your inmost being. It is a place that is known to you, though you may have dismissed the thought of going there for years. This is truly your personal dream place; and yet, it is as real as the words in front of you at this very moment. It is the place of your destiny. Your Inner Champion has longed to go there for many years, simply because it is your rightful, God-given destination.
I call that place New Home. New Home is the true place you deserve to inhabit, the place you belong – that special, personal place of greater freedom, independence, fulfillment, effectiveness and autonomy. It is a place full of greater rewards than you’ve ever experienced in your life. New Home is the intuitive ideal of what your perfect life can and should look like....
My thinking and the way I’m wired have always disposed me to being psychologically unemployable. I believe in personal independence as a way of life, and have always treasured being my own boss, being in charge of my time, and having the ability to create an unceilinged income based on my production......
Losing a business takes no small toll on a person. I wouldn’t wish what I and my family went through on anyone. A failed business affects a person mentally, emotionally, and even physically. Non-stop, intense stress will actually make you look different, and not for the better. I vividly remember looking into the bathroom mirror and being startled to see a significantly aged, gaunt, ashen face of a man I barely recognized. Was that Tim Darnell in the mirror? Whoa!
But there were other signs of the stress I was facing. A business failure can cause you to start losing things. For instance, after looking at that remarkably changed face in the mirror that particular morning, I glanced around the bathroom to discover we were out of body wash, deodorant, toothpaste, and lo and behold – toilet paper! How low could we go?.....
Some of your Giants may not be a habit or vice, and they may also take human form....
Your Giant loves for you to not recognize him. He can more easily wreak havoc in your life if you’re not willing to admit he exists....
Giants (enemies) can be some of your closest acquaintances who have publicly and to you personally avowed allegiance and support. But beware: behind your back, their intentions, words, and actions can be anything but supportive. The reality of the matter is that they in no way are looking out for your best interest, and actually intend to do you harm.....
I really pray that you are outraged about what this Giant has caused you to miss in your life.
Disgust and outrage are actually God-given indicators that need to be heeded.....
Now, I know those of you whose Giant is another person are asking, “Do I have to kill that person?” Obviously the answer to that is, “NO, not at all!” We’re talking about eliminating the One Single Thing, the Giant, the issue or obstacle in your life with a powerful solution, not killing a person. We’re talking about distancing your self from the obstacle once and for all.....
You’ve got to toughen up. You’ve got to face reality. You’ve got to decide that Your Giant must be eliminated, period, with no exceptions. Allowing Your Giant to be part of your life can no longer be an option. You must take charge, and you must plan to GET HIM OUT OF YOUR LIFE once and for all. There is no room for gray. This is only black and white here. Your Giant must go. It is the most important action required for your move into New Home....
