11. Day 11: Considerations, Fears & Roadblocks
I read a great way to describe thoughts in Jack Canfield’s book yesterday. He describes these things as just “part of the process of success”. He says look out for these things, they will happen: considerations, fears and roadblocks. Considerations: are thoughts that tell you that you can’t or shouldn’t do something. It might look like “My wife’ll kill me”, “I don’t want to get up two hours earlier” “It’s too hard”, “My territory is maxed out” Fears: are feelings; fear of being rejected,...

Here’s the thing, there is nothing wrong with success and there is nothing wrong with me. But when you put the two together I fall apart. I get so off beat and try too hard and forget to listen to my heart because I am reading my to do list or the 30 things I want to do/30 things I want to have/30 things I want to be list. It is like studying a textbook about walking every time I want to take a walk. I must have to come to success in my own way. Sure, I can use advice, idea’s and disciplines from someone who has already done this but I have to go within first to see how I...
Read More11. Day 9: What I Learned About Success From My Landscaper
I learned a great lesson about success from Fransisco, the landscaper and drain guru who is working to solve a big drainage issue we are having. For the last couple of years (maybe longer) when it rains we have a little water seep into our guesthouse between the low foundation of a small bathroom added on in the sixty’s and the main concrete slab of the guesthouse itself. In the beginning it was just enough to put a towel down to soak up, as if you had spilled a glass of water. Over time it very gradually got worse. But then we hadn’t had rain of any size for that same couple...
Read More11. Day 8: Extreme Love Uses It All
I am experiencing the law of attraction in a most helpful manner. Since I have begun my month of extending love to the fear of success people are literally coming out of the woodwork to help, assist, offer a new perspective and cheer me on with great suggestions. I have received videos, articles, memes that have truly helped me on my journey to opening to how success is but another part of me, not separate from me. It is as if success itself, even the idea of it, is a light shining into my depths to show me my tight or dark places resistant to loving. One such thought was a meme sent by...
Read More11. Day 7: 10 Things I Love About Me
One of the benefits of writing a daily blog is that I don’t need to put so much pressure on myself over the content/value/importance of each and every post. This is eerily mimicking daily life. If I notice my life as a whole, any single day is just a part of something whole and beautiful and powerful. When I look at the blog as a whole, it (and by association the writer, um, that’s me) is already a huge success. (Is this what I was really afraid of? Finding out I am already a success???). I showed up every day. Even the two or three days that I double posted or made one post...
Read More11. Day 6: Success, A Bedtime Story
Last night I was in bed by 8 o’clock. I was knackered after a long but fabulous day. We used a new venue for our quarterly director meeting which meant getting there early, working out quirks, setting up tables and chairs, finding outlets, figuring out how a new projector works etc. Then a full energy meeting with a tremendous team. Getting together with our team is one of my favorite things to do. I get so much (learn, intuit, delight in) from them I have to remember that we are also here to work. At the end of the day my husband and I ran home in order for him to pack and get to...
