“Ask”; What does it Really Mean?

In my post on Make the Most of U I mentioned that I attended the most amazing conference this past week. It was there that I learned a great mnemonic for the word “ask”. (Thank you, Jodee!!)
 
“A” stands for “ask and it will be given”
“S” stands for “seek and you shall find”
“K” stands for “knock and the door will open”

Giving My All

As I mentioned in my post this morning on my coaching blog Make the Most of U, I am taking a course called 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace  by Dr. Wayne Dyer.
 
In one of the lessons he shares that you cannot give away the things that you don’t have. Pretty obvious, right? I think it is important to share, however, that he was not referring to material things at all. Rather, he was referring to emotional and energetic things.
 
It makes perfect sense. How can I give love as fully as I would like if I don’t have love inside of me for me? How can I be as compassionate as I wish to be if I do not feel that compassion for myself? How can I be as supportive as I would hope if I don’t support me?
 
Because being able to give love, compassion, and support to others is so important to me I am, right here and right now, committing to;
 
Expressing love for myself to myself
Showing more compassion towards myself
Sharing support of me with me
 
To support my commitment, for the next 21 days (since it takes 21 days to form a habit ) I am going to;
 
- Refrain from disparaging myself in any way and
- Recognize one special quality I have or one neat thing that I did.
 
I can’t wait to see what happens!

My Mountain

My sister sent me another wonderful quote and it could not have come at a better time. (Thank you, Wen!)

No-one can choose your mountain
    or tell you when to climb...
 
It's yours alone to challenge
    at your own pace and time - Anonymous


This past week my moutain has been my e-workbooks and allowing the creative juices just to flow as and when they do. In the past I would have tried rushing my way to the top of the mountain only to feel horrible if I fell to the bottom. (How productive is that?)

Now I am climbing the mountain slowly, watching my footing, and sitting on rock ledges when I need a bit of a rest. These e-workbooks are too important to do anything else.

Releasing the Outcome

As I write this my heart is racing and my stomach has the worst case of butterflies. For the last several months I have been working on a series of e-workbooks which are dedicated to supporting others in living a life filled with passion, happiness, prosperity, and balance.

To date, aside from writing and bringing these e-workbooks to life, I have...

  • Sent some of my work to a group of friends and my own coach for feedback.
  • Purchased and received my ISBN numbers.
  • Registered two out of the four e-workbooks in the series, plus the supplemental e-workbook.
  • And today on Make the Most of U, I announced the series (to be released in August). I have invited people to sign up to be notified when the series hits the bookshelves. In exchange, I am offering interested parties the supplemental e-workbook for free.

Rather than worry about whether anyone will wish to be notified, I am going to practice releasing the outcome. I am going to flex my trust muscle and have faith that what happens is meant to happen.

Let the fun begin!

Move Aside, Clyde

My sis, knowing that I am a collector of cool quotes, sent me this awesome one last week...

"It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves."  -- Sir Edmund Hillary

A pretty timely reminder considering I have had a few run-ins with a brick wall, ego, self doubt, and fear lately. I raise my hand and admit, I have moments when I forget to get out of my own way.

When I do move aside and get really present awesome things happen. For example;

1) New opportunities appear and I go for them.
2) I have more energy.
3) I experience a great deal of happiness.
4) Stress steers clear of me since I am more relaxed.
5) Fear takes a backseat because my confidence is riding shot gun.

My passion and commitment is supporting others in being their very best and having the very best. I am truly committed to changing this world one person at a time, but I can't do that if I am standing in my own way.

So move aside, Clyde. :)
