Stepping outside the box with star studded July and the uncertainty and potential for criticism is scary but necessary as we know where growth takes place Mentioned the idea of selfless and bigger mission supported service. Made me think about serving humanity and the kind of people I am looking for in my business. KELLY? FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY? Why would you want to do that? What a nice Brand to be in service. The only person that doesn’t appreciate that brand is the one that is angry at themselves for not carrying it themselves. Hate you cause they ain't you. You’re either the kind of person that sees garbage discarded on the street and picks it up or the one that expects and assumes someone else will because you don’t feel it is your fault and insist that you are not a garbage man. I’m looking for 5 garbage men/women. To mentor, and partner with in my coaching business to change the world one person at a time. Isn't it interesting how God and the Universe have mysteriously placed everything we desire the most, inconveniently on the other side of a big smelly pile of shit? Notice this? We come up with anecdotes to acknowledge this as normal like the obstacle is the way. No mud, no lotus. Referencing the fact that the marvelous lotus flower ironically grows only in smelly mud. Heck, the amazing work done with the science of the FLOW STATE shows us that in order to get into your proverbial FLOW STATE you must first successfully navigate some sort of fear, challenge or struggle. If you really become aware of this phenomenon and learn to embrace the suck, you’ll begin to remodel your perspective, perception and relationship with struggle. Almost get excited when challenges arise, knowing that they are the precursor to your success. However, when you add the emotional component of FEAR to the equation, this acknowledgement becomes easier said than done. Our MFTPSE (Mother, Father, Teacher, Preacher, Society and Evolution have taught us how to navigate fear our whole lives. So if you are in a current reality where fear has a grip on you? And you are using that grip as an excuse to excuse you from your responsibility for your own success? It's not your fault. However, if you woke up this morning with the FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW to go out there and claim control of your life as its dominant force. To become the shotcaller of your days and start leveraging your success? It will require that you rewire your brain and develop a more efficient FEAR MANAGEMENT STRATEGY. Business owners and entrepreneurs may face a range of fears, including fears of failure, finances, and losing control. Allow yourself to acknowledge the double edged sword of your perspectives and perceptions of the following common fears being both barriers and motivators and know that the side you focus on is a choice you make based on your urgency to win.: Financial fears: Concerns about financial instability, not having enough money, or losing what they have. Fear of failure: A common fear that can also be a source of inspiration. Fear of losing control

Let's take this day and focus on recognizing that I AM that makes you, and learn to see it in others. I AM LOVE. I AM ENERGY. I AM AWARENESS. Fascinated with the feeling and act of being IN love. I was curious if humans require another person to be IN LOVE or is it that person we have found or seek that allows you to express that which you already are? There is something called AGAPE LOVE? In the Bible, agape is a Greek word that describes a selfless, universal, and unconditional love that is characterized by self-sacrifice and loving others. It appears frequently in the New Testament, but rarely in other ancient Greek literature. The word comes from the verb agapan, which means "to greet with affection". However, it starts with loving yourself. I was exposed to a cool theory the other day that said that when two people are in love, that is just their souls hanging out with one another. Experiencing life freely with each other. In reading the book, Polishing the Mirror by Ram Das and diving deep into his work elsewhere, he speaks about the fact that if we strip away everything that we are seeking in life. I call it the “ER”. HappiER, HealthiER, Wealthi
