Well, Yes! In a way it does.

As the title “pioneer” suggests you are the pioneer of change, which means you are challenging the status quo. You have seen a new vision for how the world could be, or how you would like to live your life. You have brought in, via the genius of your own inspiration, a new idea, or a new concept, one that you want to ground and bring into being. You are taking a raw idea and bringing it into a physical form. To do this, things need to change.

The fact that it is new means that others will not find it easy to accept at first. Not all great ideas are accepted straight away. In a funny kind of way, if you get resistance you should take it as a sign that you are on to the right path.

At Psycademy, we are known for turning thinking on its head. We look at what most people do – and do the exact opposite. And that means that many people don’t agree with us. They think we are “wrong” or strange or even mad.

But actually that is a good thing. I know that challenging people’s way of thinking is part of my life’s purpose. It is by taking on new ways of thinking, and doing, that we can become what we are meant to become.

In every area of life there are the accepted norms. Even personal development has its own accepted and standard beliefs, which if you dare to deviate from will bring down the wrath of others. I should know from the e-mails I get!

In the promo e-mails for my last teleseminar I challenged some conventions. I suggested that protection was the last thing we should be doing, and my goodness it caused a stir. You would think I was promoting a satanic mass from the way people objected.

Indeed many of my e-mails gently (or not so gently) push the boundaries of accepted thinking. And many people feel obliged to e-mail me in to “set me straight” and tell me I am wrong.
But this is PERFECT. When people e-mail me to tell me how wrong I am, I know that I am on the right path. What I say may or may not be true, but the very fact that it challenges people’s thinking lets me know that I’m on track. That and the wonderful e-mails from people telling me how they love that my newsletters “make them think”.

Here is what one person said about a recent message:

“I want to acknowledge you for the work you do and what you bring to the world. This is a very pertinent and brilliant piece of marketing and what I really love the most is that you work on the edge, stretching people beyond what they ever thought or believed was possible and that really is to be commended. Go get em girl! You are a complete inspiration!!. Happy new year to you with lots of love Mary.”

Many of my readers, and clients are pioneers in their own field. And as a pioneer of change you will be challenged. So when things get hard, that’s perfect. It means you are challenging the old way of thinking.

Think about it… if the change you are pioneering was easy, it would have already happened.

For some reason YOU have been chosen or volunteered to lead this change. For some reason YOU have been inspired to ground break new ground. Never doubt that it will be hard at times. But NEVER doubt the importance of your role in the birth of a new order.

As a pioneer you are a leader. You are the keeper of the vision, the holder of the vision. So no matter what others say, stay true to your vision.

At this time, more than ever before, the old, accepted norms will no longer serve us. The old ways must be challenged. Einstein said:

“You can’t solve a problem with the same level of thinking that created it.” And…

“If at first, the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.”

The current world situation was caused by old ways of thinking, they were not wrong but they don’t serve us now. So think something new. Just for the hell of it. Challenge what you believe you know. Question what you thought was true. If it is true it will hold and be even stronger for you. But if it’s not then isn’t it better to let that thinking go?

“Why sometimes I think 6 impossible things before breakfast!”
The White Queen, Alice in Wonderland: Lewis Carol

There are enough robots in the world, blindly doing and thinking what they have been told to do and think. It takes strength of mind and courage to think something new. It takes an open mind to be receptive to new ideas and ideals. So open your mind, and keep it open. You don’t have to agree with everything new, but the very act of considering it stretches your mind.

Keep stretching your own mind. Keep stretching other people’s minds.

My invitation to you is to be the pioneer that will lead the world to change at this time. It is part of my purpose to shake up old ways of thinking. To turn your thinking on its head. It’s also part of my purpose to support others to do the same. If you would like to know how you can pioneer your vision, contact me.

Ok – so who’s up for a satanic mass?
