@Karl- I’m glad you’re going to dive in! SO much empathy for the avoidance, and celebration for when we get into what needs the love.

@Deborah- Thanks for that little snippet, Deb. I had a smile on my face the whole time I was at her show. Except, of course, when we had to leave.

I love Ellis’ music. Recently turned on to her work by a dance teacher.

How would it be if everything that you thought you knew
Was turned upside down opposite from your point of view
How would you feel if the ground was really the sky and all of this time you’ve been walkin’ when you coulda been …flying

I just love her lyrics! Deb

Yes, I’ve been avoiding aspects of my business. It’s hard to say that, but it’s true. I’m still in the process of figuring out what my best sources of revenue will be. Instead of diving in and trying a few out and seeing what’s best. I’ve been simulating outcomes and seeing what works. Now it’s time to dive in and tell the whole world about the great stuff that I have to offer.

Thanks!

@Charlie- You so rock, brother. Thank you for your appreciation and celebration. And I’m not surprised we converge from different traditions- grabbing the elephant in the dark room, eh?

@Andrew- Isn’t it? Sometimes you just have to go for the cheesy cause it’s just so true. It’s okay by me.

“we all have challenging experiences in life. Some of them truly suck. All of them have gifts, lessons and other silver linings, but please don’t mention that to me when I’m in the middle of it. When I’m in the middle, it just sucks. I’ll find the silver linings later.”

Totally – sometimes it’s truly a challenge to allow people to be in the suckiness FOR NOW – I feel like sometimes the Sucky Road has a certain length and you can either get in someone’s way so that they take longer to get to the end of it, or you can walk/run with them and we get to Silver Lining Way quicker.

Or something.

Less cheesy.

Before I talk about that post, I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your Mastermind call with Dave. I was listening to it this morning and so strongly resonated with what you were saying – you’re a few sweet steps ahead of me, but I feel that we’re on the same path. It’s funny how our different traditions converge on the same principles.

The comments to the post you referenced were a huge blessing, and it’s helped me frame a lot of my thinking. The bit on pricing was far more fruitful than the bit on selling happiness – but there was a lot of ground covered on the latter, too. I really appreciate you showing up and sharing your wisdom, ideas, and humanity with us.

I’ll be writing several posts that still riff on the ideas therein, so I’m hoping we can keep the spirited dialogue going. We need places where good people are talking about these issues, lest Frank Kern and James Arthur Ray become the only lenses through which people see the world.

About the famous anti-guru bit – thank you. I hope you’re also getting comfortable with wearing the world-famous anti-guru robe, too. But, lest we get ahead of ourselves, I wanted to witness and celebrate your eighth week of Monday round-ups.
