You are your own personal trainer. Sadly, many of us never tap into this astonishing resource.
Which begs the question, “Why?”
Too much work?
What if i fail?
What if i succeed?
Exactly. Scary, innit?

It’s been an interesting journey and i was reflecting on it yesterday when a LinkedIn connection said she reads my blog (as in singular).
All i could do was smile.
Why?
Because it almost takes a miracle for someone to figure out my blogging style on their own.
Interestingly enough, i no longer worry about it. That freedom from worry felt good.
No one has the context that one blog might lead to another blog by the same author, let alone four other blog posts (on four other websites) by the same author.
Being misunderstood, along with rejection, is part of the territory.
Also, having a vision that seems strange can label you as different, and leave you lonely. Feeling like an outlier is part of the journey too.
But the rejection and (invisible) ridicule are the bigger parts of the journey.
Radical ideas are always seen as crazy and stupid until enough time has passed (assuming the torch-bearer remains determined) for a critical mass to think it’s genius.

The fear of mattering is powerful enough to scare us into playing it safe.
We lean on our fairly disorganized life to create the perfect alibi for why we never come alive.
We take this to our grave.
i’ve organized every day (for 6+ years) to begin with two hours of thinking, reading, praying, and writing – for anyone with the guts to listen.

Why are we are taught to fear this?
The unknown.
Embracing the unknown is where transformation happens.
Being organized isn’t just about stuff, it’s also about thoughts.
Lofty, noble, thriving thoughts.

Unapologetic for being organized (and driven).
And you should be too. Never let anyone convince you your dream is too big, or too much work.
A specific post inspired what you’re reading now.
Why?
It was the gut reaction comment written to Bob. Sharing it now to capture the spirit of today’s five posts – no guts, no glory:
Thank you Bob, you are kind and generous to take time out to read and comment. People are very busy.
Eventually, close friends and colleagues will learn about the fees, but no one will ever remember the six years of working two jobs seven days a week, traveling, staying healthy, spending $80k on 72 months of operating expenses for the first six years, not making a dime (on the second job, my only job now), and never paying myself any salary, ever.
No one will ever know the countless times the thought of quitting seemed like the educated and practical choice.
The only thing more remarkable than the speaking fee is the indomitable will to make a difference.
Have an awesome weekend.
Luck favors the determined.
