I feel sick – Personal Growth and Development

I feel sick…  Personal Growth and Development

I just reread my past blog posts for the past 37 days… uck!  I feel sick.

It’s amazing to me to see how my mindset has changed over 37 days.  It hasn’t happened by accident… as at a minimum I’m spending 30 minutes per day doing something that feeds my mind positive thoughts.

If you are on this path of Personal Growth and Development with me… and you are not doing this, start now!

For me, that means being at Mass, sometimes reading the scrolls (Og Mandino), or simply talking to people that GIVE ME ENERGY.  And NEVER, being around people that suck my energy or partaking in draining conversations.  I have taken complete control of my environment.  It’s SO FREEING!

I’m at Starbucks typing this message and one of my closest friends just came to visit me.  He said, “tell me about your goal of $500K in 90 days” are you on track?”  I said, “not at all!” in a very relaxed manner.  He seemed shocked that I wasn’t stressed (that’s the old Phil!)…. and honestly, I’m not stressed at all.

See, for myself, when I’m in “doubting and second guessing” mode, deep down, I’m always worried.  This stops me from believing!  When I’m not believing, it stops me from believing in the miracles that are coming my way.

My mindset is so positive right now, I’m completely expecting a MIRACLE!  I’m READY.  Of course, I’ll report it when it happens.

In fact, I’m expecting a mini-miracle in the next 9 days.  I need to bring in $45,000 in the next 9 days to make payroll so that I don’t have to take money out of my savings account.  Do I know where this is coming from?  NO WAY!  I have many irons in the first, and any one of them could hit, but right now, I don’t know and I’m not stressed.

See – I’m ready for a Quantum Leap, a bypass, from the normal, incremental growth.  I’m tired of living my life the way I’m “suppose” to live, I’m tired of being “realistic” with my goals.   I’m ready for some excitement!

One of my coaches, Gary Ryan Blair, is really helping me with this… he’s telling me to expect the leap!  Be open to it… believe it in, and whatever I do, don’t stress about it!

When I was younger, I used to live my life this way and miracles always happened, this is exactly how I met Mother Theresa of Calcutta when I was not suppose to!  This is exactly how I won a car in a raffle and I knew I was going to win, this is exactly how I end up on Mexican Television performing magic tricks when I spoke with a “Gringo” accent and just started with magic a month prior…. my life is magical when I exect it to be!

I EXPECT IT.  DO YOU?

Going through this personally, I have a lot of time to reflect.  For whatever reason, it’s easier (less work) for me to live a life of doubt, despair, frustration.  This is why I have been doing it the past 4-5 years…

The problem is, I hate those feelings.  So I have a choice – change my mindset, or feel those feelings.

I’m choosing the former.

What do you think?  I really don’t want this to be a monologue… I want this to be an interaction between you and me.

What goes through your mind when you read this?

Are you up for miracles?

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.
