The May Miracle begins officially tomorrow, but it is already underway. A confirmed new client today. That makes the total for the month at four new clients. The May Miracle goal is $40,000. We are over half way there and the month has not started.

Great day to day at work. Also, had a true idea for the future of the business on the way home from work. I have found that when you refuse to give up and you also refuse to run from your problems, things begin to happen in a positive way. There is something about refusing to run from fears and refusing to give up that can be transformational.
When you push yourself outside of your comfort zone there are new answers that come your way.

It is funny how things begin to turn. It is not like things happen overnight but you begin to see a pattern. I look back over the past few years and I see a clear pattern. I decided I didn't want to live like I was living and so I set in motion the situations where the things that used to work didn't work any more. I don't blame anyone else. It was clearly me, in hindsight, saying, "I don't want to think like this any more and I don't want to act like this." I couldn't admit it openly to myself, though, so the old subconscious kicked the wheels in motion.
If you wondering what the "live that way any more" means it was that I was trying always trying to get there. I was tired of wanting others to take care of me. Tired of doing things that really were not a part of who I was.
There are a couple of other things that have been critical on the journey. First, I decided to ask for help. Whether it was spiritual help, financial help, emotional help, physical help. I finally found the courage to start asking others. I think that I was actually saying, "I not only can't do this on my own any more, but I don't want to do it alone anymore."
Another critical step was that I stopped running. I started facing my fear. That was a huge thing. Another step that is emerging now is that I am moving forward with energy, not trying to run on my heels - going forward with part of my trying to hold back. In this environment I see things different and am not acting different. Exciting times are ahead.

I have not posted a blog since Thursday. Chase, our youngest, has the lead role in Les Miserables at his school and time has been consumed between the play, family in from out of town, and work.
I had a very exiciting thought today as I was working on the fearless living process that I have developed. Chase is 17. About age 15 he figured out what he really wanted to do. He was a dancer and an actor. I have since discovered that he can also sing. Notice that I didn't say he wanted to be a dancer and actor. He was a dancer and actor.
He did what anyone who follows the path of fearless living and intentional living does. Instead of trying to always get there, or be good enough he began to think of himself as a dancer and actor. We saw a marked difference in his performance from that point forward.
The journey to live very intentionally is about being rather than doing. Most of us, me included, spend way too much of our time trying to "get there" rather than living in the present out of our being. When we do that, live out of our being, the magic begins to happen. When we live out of our being we see ourselves and the world around us in a different light. We see opportunity where opportunity did not exist before. We see the path to success (whatever we are seeking to succeed at) where we only saw trees before.
Tonight is the last night of the play. It will be tremendous.

The journey of intentional living is a great deal like peeling back the layers of an onion. You peel back a layer and think that you have found everything you need to find only to discover that there is another layer underneath with more to learn.
The exciting part, though, is that a pattern seems to be emerging. You have the major things to face in your life. Once you face these, the other things seem to get smaller and smaller.
Another pattern is that in the early days you are exhilarated by facing your fears and conquering them. At some point, though, there comes the desire to begin moving forward to a new future. Here might be the right picture.
You start by realizing that you want more than what you have now in your life. It is either a proactive or a reactive movement. You either see something about life that you want more of, or you realize that you don’t want to stay where you are. When that happens you lose energy to continue doing what you are doing now. If you don’t do anything at this point you begin slipping into compression (the precursor to mild depression). If you begin exploring what is going on within you, though, you move in a different path. You begin the journey to understand why you are where you are now. This is the opening of the door in to fearless living.
What you go down that path you find obstacles in your path. You find things that you must face. Depending upon your emotionally hooks to the present you either face them or run from them. What many people desire is the knowledge of what they emotional hook is. They don’t really want to remove the hook and live free of that emotional hook. They simply want to now what it is. There are others, though, who want to be free from the emotional hook. These individuals who want to be free of the emotional hook move one step further down the path of fearless living.
When you decide to face them you take the next step on the journey of fearless living. Somewhere in the process of facing the fear and refusing to run from it, you find the power to confront it. When you do, your inner world is altered. By confronting the fear and finding the power to change things you free yourself from being controlled by the fear.
This is another place where people choose to stop on the journey to fearless living. They are so relieved to confront the first fear that they want to bask in the glow of having faced it and not died emotionally.
Those who continue down the path of fearless living recognize that power to live fearlessly is found in the relentless pursuit of uncovering things that inhibit our real living.
Somewhere along the way the energy turns from inward to outward. The focus moves toward living out of my power rather than simply using it for insight and awareness.

Day Forty nine
My sisite, Janice, did me a great favor. She took quotes from Joel Olstean's latest book and turned them into cards for me to review daily. what an inspiration. I am embarking on a real business growth process today and they were an inspiration. specific goals for the next six weeks - $40,000.
