Scrap Your Trip Let It Go…Let It Go…Let It Go!
I am a voracious reader. I have purchased over 60 books so far this year. I also read at about 1400 words per minute, so that helps.
. I was thrilled when I bought myself a Kindle, but I haven’t even touched my Kindle since I got the Kindle App on my iPhone. (My friend Steve told me about this and said he hadn’t used his Kindle since he got his iPhone. Read a book on that little screen? I thought he was nuts. Okay, okay, you were right!) At the Inc. 500/5000 Conference, I saw a dynamic speaker named Keith Ferrazzi. He was absolutely amazing and I bought his book “Who’s Got Your Back” and was able to have him sign it.
One of the things I love about reading is that I believe that a single sentence can change your life. I devour books, waiting for the next sentence that is going to have a huge impact on me.
I found it on page 46 of Keith’s book. He was talking about attending a Tony Robbins (well-known self-help guru and peak performance coach) seminar. Then I read the following paragraph.
“But as Tony explained, all of us have a dominant question in our lives – one that’s always there in the background, filtering our conscious and unconscious thinking. Among the questions I heard from others were “What have I done wrong?” “Why would anybody help me?” “Why am I not good enough?” “What do they think of me?” “What did I do to deserve this?” and “When does life get better?” Whatever our question is, Tony told us, it drives our emotions, our behaviors, and our reactions, and arguably defines our very identity.”
When I read through this and read the question “Why am I not good enough?” it was like I got kicked in the stomach. It was such a physical reaction; I knew I had just read my dominant question.
I’ve been telling lots of people about this dominant question theory and a friend said “I just love Tony Robbins! If you ever want to go to one of his seminars, I am SO there!” Well, I looked it up online and it was two weeks away and long story short, I am leaving tomorrow to attend the “Unleash the Power Within” seminar.
Now, people either think Tony Robbins is “cheesy” or “amazing”. I fall into the amazing camp. The seminar starts off on Thursday with a fire walk – a 12 foot barefoot walk across 2000 degree coals. It’s used as a metaphor for overcoming your fears and your limiting beliefs. If you can do that (when you thought you couldn’t), what else can you do that you think you can’t?
So, let me tell you…I AM SO EXCITED I CANNOT STAND IT! I am ready for a brand-new Julie to emerge from the ashes of my divorce and my old life. This is one of my first steps. I have lots of old “stuff” to let go of and hope to replace it with a new, whole, healthy and healed me.
I will be posting updates to my personal Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/julie.swatek) as often as I can and will give you the full details of my fire walk on Friday. Let the unleashing begin!
Speaking of letting go, it’s time to let go of some scrapbook product! (How’s that for a great transition?)
Our paper racks are full…our embellishment drawers are stuffed…so that means we either stop buying new stuff or make some room. So, let’s make some room!
There are over 1600 items on clearance. 1640 to be exact. There are so many, I had to split them up into four sections. And since we really need room in the warehouse, I am really motivated to give you a great deal! All the clearance products are marked down 25%. But, the more you buy, the more you save! The following are coupon codes that can be applied ON TOP OF the 25% off clearance prices:
