I can do it, but should I?

Hello friends!

I am thinking this morning of things we do, but maybe shouldn't. This last weekend I moved myself.

Now, my new place is a mile from my old one. I had a small moving truck reserved and when I went to pick it up, I was informed they didn't have anything smaller than a 20 footer. Can you say melt-down? I took a deep breath... well maybe five or ten... and instead rented a pickup. From 8am till 8:30 pm I was either loading the truck or unloading it.

That's right folks, I moved myself. And the only way I did it was to keep up the mantra "I am moved and am in my new apartment." So, this morning, I sit with aching feet, arms, back, and knees, and blisters on every toe thinking, "Why didn't I just hire movers?"

It sets me in mind of the things we do every day that keep us from what we want to be doing. I will admit one of my major faults is that I have an almost impossible time asking for help. It's this stupid childhood training that I had that tells me I have to be able to do everything myself or ... *Sigh*

So, I could have spent my time this weekend on better things. I could be sitting here feeling good rather than in pain. Its' July 4th and what will I be doing? Not much as I really can't move.

So, I now add another item to my checklist. "I will focus on the important things and let others do things that get in my way."

You may be wondering if this applies to you. Do you find yourself cleaning your house when you could be making sales calls? Are you once again spending mindless hours running errands when you could be working toward your goals? There are people who do these things for their businesses. If you could hire one of them to do the things you don't need to do so that you can concentrate on your goals, its kind of a win-win situation.

Okay... now back to that checklist...

Pity Party: Party of one

It is difficult looking into the mirror when I am dealing with having what I have to call a midlife crisis. It took so long to get passed my past. I still struggle with some things, but others I have overcome in a large way. So here I sit - I don't feel 43 for the most part, but the hard thing is - I am.  All the things most people are learning in their early 20s, I am dealing with. Now, that would not be bad if I was 21. But I am not 21. I'm 43. The only single men around me are divorced. Most with children. Great. Just what I wanted. (And yes, that was sarcasm.) Not to mention the fact that I seem to attract men I would never be attracted to, not in a million years. Yeah - definitely putting out the wrong vibration.

Review: Bob Proctor 10-week Intensive Coaching Program

OK, I did it. I completed the Bob Proctor 10-week Intensive Program. And intensive it was!~ This program has its good points and its bad points, all which will be mentioned here. But make no mistake about it - If I had it all to do over again, I would! The Bob Proctor Intensive was a 10-week program that used "You Were Born Rich", one of Bob's programs, as its base. The first four weeks were spent with reading intently, watching the DVDs intently, and listening to CDs of the DVDs intently. The last four weeks were spent working toward a specific goal.

Look for the Light - #positive

Image
You know how they always say it is darkest before the dawn? Well, unfortunately, the same goes for emotions. Sometimes we feel about as low as we can get before we make some sort of breakthrough. So next time things seem overwhelming and you think you are drowning, look for the light. It could be anything. A laugh from a friend, a dog sunning itself, even a pretty flower. Or, it could be getting that book you have been wanting for months. Embrace that light. Hold it tight. Remember it. Take a picture if you need to, so that when the darkness encroaches again, you have a clear beam to make it go away. Look for the light.
