My friend Vanessa James (of Vanessa James Media..shameless plug for AMAZING friends :) ) helped me see that I don’t have to
have every thing all put together before I share it. I like to fully understand something &
to get it all neatly packaged with bullets so I can explain it. But as I grow, I'm learning that it's ok to share my journey AS I
learn it, so that you can learn right along with me. I want my life to be better & yours, too, so here is something new.
I'm going to share how my life has
been changing for the better & what things I'm putting into place that are helping me to FINALLY be
successful in certain areas. I don’t know it all yet (perhaps I never will know IT ALL), but I'm
sharing it anyway.
First, I like my life. Lets get that out there. But there are
still things I want to change. I've
wanted to get back to a certain weight for a long time. I do make progress with
a couple pounds here & there, but so far I haven’t really made a change
that stuck, one that would get me where I wanted to be.
I've wanted to earn more money (I think everyone has this
goal, even Trump). And I've wanted to work as a professional speaker as a full time
career for more years than you know. It's
in my heart & it’s one of those dreams that comes from deep down inside your soul!
I'm making progress, but I haven’t felt like things were really moving forward. I want to feel like I've jumped on the engine of a train! I want to go speeding along with all those areas of my
life coming along behind me! I want to move FAST. I like fast. :)
But last week was different. (I'm smiling.) I woke up with an
idea. I'm sure God put it there while I slept, because I never read about
it or thought of it before.
I woke up with the idea to repeat some things everyday for 7
days. And then I would stand back & see how (& if) my life got
better. I didn’t know if it would work,
what would happen, or how. I just wanted to try it. So I didn’t tell anybody. I
just did these things every morning for 7 days.
- I stretched. I layed down on the floor & stretched every morning for just a few minutes, with the lights off, breathing slowly.
- I gave thanks. I committed to finding 10 things to be thankful for every morning.
- I repeated MY mantra! 3 times a day I said to myself: "SUCCESS IS A PART OF MY DNA."
- I listed my 3 major success areas. On day 1, I wrote the 3 major areas where I wanted success to show up. On days 2-7, I fine tuned those areas, listing more detail about what that meant.
- I recorded God’s tips. At the end of each day I wrote down coincidences, messages, help, unexpected meetings..anything that seemed good & a little out of the ordinary.
That’s it. That’s what I did for 7 days straight.
I'm sure you want to know what happened, right? Well…tune in tomorrow. I will share some of
the messages that I received, how help showed up for my speaking career & a
little on how I lost 5 pounds & was able to give up coca cola & sweets
for an entire week. :) It might not seem big to you, but honey success has
started showing up in my life. I'm not on the Oprah Show YET…but I feel like
it’s a new day, it’s a new dawn, it’s a new life for me…and it can be for you,
too.
I’d love for you to try this SUCCESS EXERCISE with me. And I would SERIOUSLY like to know how it changes your life because I
believe it will, not because I came up with it, but because I believe God gave
it to me. I was the guinea pig, now you can keep proving it works.
OK..it's up to you.
You don’t have to tell anyone you read this & you can just forget
about it if you want. OR…………if you want something & if you're ready for
something to change, to show up…….then do the simple things I did. They are easy. You just need a
little time & to be willing to say….I'm ready.
Tune in tomorrow for another blog on what happened, what
messages I received & how this helped me.
Oh!…Please share your experiences with me. I DESPERATELY want to know how it's working for you! Check me on facebook or email me at stephstanford@gmail.com.
Don’t forget…tune in tomorrow!
PS...If you don't know, I have been speaking around town & hosting some fun events! Stay up on my events & more at www.stephstanford.com.
