Join me on this Journey? Personal Growth and Development – Day 11
Today was tough for me in terms of my personal growth and development. I left the office on Friday FLYING…. Really FLYING. Today I struggled. It goes back to mindset.
For the weekend, I coasted… and I coasted right back to being “realistic.” Today I suffered for this mistake and never will I make the mistake of coasting again. Literally, this day was practically lost because of my mindset. All day I struggled with self doubt and self pity. The irony is that although that is not the person I choose to be, I could not pull myself out of it all day, even thought I started with church, affirmations, and knew, the entire day, that my energy was off.
I’m finally sick of it, and it’s 10:30 p.m., my whole family is asleep and I just read out loud scrolls 1-5 out of “The Greatest Salesman in the World” by Og Mandino. This finally did it… thank you Og. Here is an excerpt for you:
“Today I begin a new life. Today, I shed my old skin, which hath, too long, suffered the bruised of failure and the wounds of mediocrity. Today I am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all. Today I will pluck grapes of wisdom from the tallest and fullest vines in the vineyard, for these were planted by the wisest of my profession who have come before me, generation upon generation. The career I have chosen is laden with opportunity, yet it is fraught with heartbreak and despair and the bodies of those who have failed were they piled one atop another, would cast a shadow down upon all the pyramids of the earth. Yet, I will not fail, as the others, for in my hands I now hold the charts which will guide me through perilous waters to shores which only yesterday seemed but a dream.”
Wow… I love that.
Who would like to travel with me for the next 100 days?
Who would like to make a personal declaration and live into it with me?
Who would like to be my companion on this journey as we face all the obstacles, yet, conquer all of them together?
I don’t care what your goal is… or how “big or small” you think it is. I want companions on this journey. Join me! Let’s make the next 100 days the best 100 days of our life!!!!!
I have found great peace in declaring, to the world, my inner feelings. I have found peace in telling the truth… and I invite you to come with me right now! Don’t wait! Don’t do it tomorrow… do it now! Be BOLD! Be ready for the biggest breakthrough of your life!
Doesn’t it make sense that you are reading this post for a reason; there is no coincidence. You are meant for this journey. Embrace it! Don’t run away…. Is there a part of you that is getting nervous right now (that is exactly the way I felt when I started!)? Is there a part of you that is filled with that nervous excitement (that is the way I felt too!)? That’s the proof! That’s the excitement… embrace it and run with it!
Declaring your goal! Declare your feelings, your concerns, and your desires now! Don’t hold back; don’t try to get this right…. Let’s travel this road of personal growth and development together! Start now… comment below. I’ll be there with you.

Gail said it for me. I need change. I need exercise. I need to join the journey with you and your team. I have to reread Og mandino’s book. I am looking for the planning guide. Thanks, Philip

It’s day 16-18 on this website… look forward to your post.
Hi Phil,
I would like to take this journey with you and your team. Not sure yet what my Big Bang will be…
I see you are emailing a “planning guide” to participants… Will this help in creating the plan itself?
Thanks for your support. You are such an inspiration to me!!
Blessings,
Barbara
Check your email!
Amazing, as I was writing the last note to you, I received a call from my agency…I had recently told them I would not work shifts that compromised my license, my integrity, and my sanity…have had to decline several opportunities this week even though I am broke…just now accepted an assignment that honors my stand.
The power that comes from being aligned is magical! Charge on!
I’ve had it with working for others! As a nurse of 26 yrs., I recently took a stand: no more working in facilities that don’t make a difference, a REAL difference, in people’s health; no more coming home feeling exhausted, sad, sick to my stomach from what I’ve experienced at work….it’s true, corporations are NOT people, and they don’t CARE about you or me, just making the next billion! So, I’m in, Philip…lead on!
Nice Pam! We will email you the plan of action.
Clicked on you site and a little box came up to enter email for notifications however it jumped around and I was not able to enter information??? is there another place to do so??
Sorry! On the right side of the page has a box called “E-tips Sign ups.”
Talk soon! Glad to be on this journey together!
Thanks for sharing your challenges and determination, Philip, as well as the affirmation/excerpt…
I want to start this personal growth and development journey with you… I’m willing to be held accountable… My goals include finishing all the preparations for my parents’ 25th anniversary wedding, finalizing vacation itinerary, and starting on direct-response marketing for my “closing the gaps in life” business.
Thank you for inviting us!
Great Michelle!
Be REAL with your feelings, concerns, and fear on your postings … it will be liberating!

Philip, I’m in. I’m declaring my goals for the next 100 days and going to travel with you in support of both us having the breakthroughs we know we can have in achieving our goals and in our mind, body, and spirit(and supporting each other in doing so).
Let’s Go!
Great Richard!

Philip that was awesome Thank You!! I’m ready to take this journey with you. As I read that, I felt those exact feelings of nervous excitment!
P.S.- I read one of your blogs about deletions on your credit report…and guess what? I called the the collection agency and they sent out a letter of deletion to the credit bureaus. I haven’t checked my score again yet as it’s only been about a month..and I’m getting a few card’s below the 30% mark before I do so I can really get excited!
But thank you for all that you do..and you are making a tremendous impact on people’s lives. Well, I can only speak for myself..so mine atleast. Whenever you’re having one of those down days…just try to remember these words, and how you’ve helped! Namaste

I am not a ‘for the world to see’ person. I have been alone most of my life and not very good at talking to anyone about me or my life, I’m usually the listener and helper of others. I want to be part of this journey and I am going to jump on board and step way out of my comfort zone because I need to change my life. I know you said to set goals, list fears, and commit, and you said I have to put them out there for everyone to see, so here I go.
Goals- I want to like myself again by looking better and feeling better, a change of lifestyle. I want to develop an exercise schedule/program and I want to learn to eat right. I want to make a second income so that I can cut down and eliminate my debt. I don’t want to be alone anymore and I want to be in a loving relationship and be able to create new friendships.
Fears-I won’t follow through, I won’t be able to write or talk like this about me again so I will just quit, I will get frustrated because I can’t figure out what to do next.
Committment- I am in for 100 days
I’m loving this Gail! Nice job!

Phillip,
I’m not sure what you mean to do on this “journey” of yours, but I too like Og Mandino, and I know that I need to follow an invitation I received during the week to take massive action towards my future. A good cause will have a good effect, a bad cause will have a bad effect and a massive cause will have a massive effect. I need to have a massive effect. I was invited to join in a business that buys and sells gold and sliver .. I was totally unprepared and unable move with the money needed .. no reserves and absolutely no lines of credit. If your “journey” will do even the slightest positive movement for me, it will be a good cause. Tell me more .. I’m in. During the 100 days I will make, find, borrow or beg the $25,000 I need to begin the gold and silver business I want to have.

I am with you! I have been wondering lately how I have become the fearful “glasa half empty” person, unsure even how to begin to awaken the person I know is inside me. I read og’s book years ago and loved it. I may be shaky after all I have been through, but I AM still standing. I refuse to stay in this quicksand I have created for myself! You truly are an inspiration for me. Thank you!
Marlene – we are an inspiration for each other!

I am scared, but I am ready willing and able! In the next 100 days I am leaving a safe, & secure job teaching autistic children in a public school system to help open a new school that will provide mild and moderate special needs children an opportunity to have an education in a private christian college prep K-12 school. We will be the first christian school in our state to include autistic children as well as other mild and moderate children with disabilities the chance to experience a christian education along with typical age peers. Please check out our website http://www.strongwallacademy.org & become a friend of Strong Wall Academy and follow our journey.
Please HOPE with me, PRAY with me, and BELIEVE with me that we will find business that will partner with us to help us create a scholarship fund to make this dream a reality for these very special children, even in this troubled economy. My personal growth and development will be to give all I am able with my heart, soul and spirit so that my exceptional learners will also have growth and development as well. Thank you for allowing me to join all of you on your own journey. See you on the road to success!
Love it Cathy…. watch your email today for the planning guide.
Remember… speak from a place like WILL happen, have no doubt.
Reading from Og’s book, “I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the questions, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for these are the words of fools. I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me, then I will work on in despair. I will toil and I will endure. I will ignore the obstacle sat my feet and keep mine eyes on the goals above my head, for I know that where dry desert ends, green grass grows.”
YOU WILL PERSIST….. and YOU WILL SUCCEED! I can’t wait to read about your school in the paper!
Prepare, study, and pray for execution of making a job change.
Nice Big Tex…
Watch for the plan today in your email.
Let’s get going now.

I have been on a journey of which seems like a life time…
I struggle and fall…I get up bumped and bruised…
I struggle and fall…This goes on continuously…
There is so much to learn! How well to I retain?
There is strength in others support and belief in us as we are in process of laying our own foundation….
For this I am truly grateful!!!!
Where and when do we begin?
Lina… begin right her and right now.

We are all here for you… talk next week.
BTW Lina… as Og Says: “I will persist with knowledge that each failure will increase my chance for success at the next attempt. Each nay I hear will bring me closer to the sounds of yea. Each frown I meet only prepares me for the smile to come. Each misfortune I encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrow’s good luck I must have the night to appreciate the day. I must fail often to succeed only once.”
Philip,
I will journey with you…tis better to journey with companions than to walk alone. Og also said, that we should shout our dreams and successes from the rooftops… looking forward to the “shout”.
Sharyl
The 100 Day Goal:
Open a new kind of university and I need wildly successful entrepreneurs who are willing to teach others.
My fears: Financial constraints; I’m worried about finding the “right” mix of folks who catch the vision that a new system is needed right now! Can I create the financial wealth to be freed from a job? Will I have the staying power?
Ask and ye shall receive! I’m asking for the help and walkalongs from you, dear reader.
Awesome share and reflection!
That is Great Philip! There is the path to freedom, and lifelines to success. Exactly what I have been searching for. Someone to work with and move forward toward dreams together. Looking to following the map to completion of the goal and dream, and the joy and peace of being interdependent with a team.

thanks Philip…
I am committed to reaching financial independence, and freedom…
I want my water business to be producing at LEAST 25,000 a month by the end of August. And doing so consistently…
I want to be producing another 20K a month in income from my “other job”, and for the whole new branding project I am doing to be completed by the end of September, which consists of new collateral, training manuals, videos, powerpoints, and website, along with all this social networking stuff I have no clue about yet…
My job is to provide content and concept, there are other pros that will be putting it all together from there…
I appreciate you Philip, and look forward to developing both our friendship and some fun business stuff… tell me how I can support you and what you are up to, ok?
I will gladly reccommend you to people, but it does not seem as easy for me to bring up as it is my weight loss and the product I am using so successfuly, and the water and the machines I rep…
ooh, I just realized this is going to be public, lol!
Have I told you that I have lost 60 pounds since last October? I found a great product, and it is working for many others exactly as it is working for me… I am really enjoying the success…
Blessings to you!
Gavin
Gavin – this is awesome! Great job.

Right on Phil! This TOTALLY fits my personal timing and journey. Connection with others on a like journey is energy multiplied in pursuit of goal(s)! So much has been
“stolen” from me in health and situational broadsides outside of my control. Like an animal in a trap we can get paralyzed…not constructive! I WILL be DEBT FREE and in control of my todays and future. WHY and HOW are not relevant past not repeating any mistakes…I know even in today’s socio-economic times it is possible to thrive and prosper, own a home, build a business and move from lack to true abundance past money, vitality to help others.
Sandra – I couldn’t agree more!

Dearest Philip,
I am 100% with you. First is to acknowledge and accept reality situation where am I right now. What is my mistakes and failure. I want to be motivated with this mistakes and take responsibity for solution. What is my road map?
Sincerely,
Fernando
Fernando…. Declare the following right here, right now:
What are the mistakes I want to own up to?
What are my 5 goals that I want to accomplish in the next 90 days?
Put them right here… for the WORLD to see. Declare it, and tell the WORLD that your are playing for keeps, not for practice.
I will be here the entire time… let’s rock this together!
It’s time! Time to embrace change for the better, to claim
what is our’s and move toward greatness! Time for a more
dignified existence and to treasure the good in all!
Thank you Ron!
What does that mean for you? Would you like to play with us to make the next 90 days the best ever? If yes, do the following:
- State your goals
- State what scares you
- State to the WORLD that you are playing for keeps!
I love Og Mandino’s books. The journey of 100 steps (days) begins with the first one. So step out!
Jim
Jim – want to play with us?
I would like to feel and be a better person in 100 days. I don’t like wasting days either, but find myself doing that at times, and wish to break this before it affects just myself. I would like to join this journey too.
Great Lana!!!

Your words seemed to ring true to my core. I believe I am optimistic and positive in my view of life, and I believe I am here for a reason, but some days I have a crushing sense of despair. I love the paragraph from Og, and will use it also. Thank you for the invitation, and I would love to join you on this journey of personal growth and development.
