My former boss had us read a leadership series called, “Habitudes” its a leadership series focused around images to help youth develop their leadership skills. One of the images that the series used was called the “Tombstone”. The premise was what legacy are you leaving behind? Every tombstone has one word to a few sentences but your work and things you have established throughout your life, how you have touched people are your living legacy. How will people remember you now? I read the obituary today(Wednesday) and read the Greatest salesman like we were directed and I felt such a surge of gratitude and joy to be alive. Life serves us problems every day like a tennis game but sometimes it’s important to remember you are still in the game and you have the energy to play. It really had me thinking if I left this planet now, how would I be remembered?
I think it’s important to live life now. I’ll admit as a prescribed white personality, the plague of perfectionism often stops me from that very thing. Sometimes I feel we are as the walking dead just on autopilot every day hoping to do “that thing” that makes us happy when we achieve (that next promotion, pin level, status symbol etc). However, I feel the card exercises we are doing are generating strength, courage, joy, and peace from within. I don’t have to be the walking dead because I can be what I will to be. I will to be someone who enjoys life now. My word for this week was enthusiasm and I needed it. As always fam I look forward to hearing from you. What was your word?
XOXO,

As I write this to you I am thinking about all I have learned, seen and experienced. We had to do a few exercises this week and when I tell you I am shook (Shook is a slang term that means taken off guard..back to the blog). Honey, California earthquakes have nothing on me okay? I realized something once again. Seriously, how many layers of cement do I have man?! lol. Well, the answer is 36 years worth. Unfortunately, just like exercising for three days is not going to take off the weight it took 5-20 years to earn; 3-4 months of this course is not going to eradicate all the lies and mental limitations I unknowing and knowingly allowed in my lifetime.
So I’m doing the work and during the webbie, Mark said something about the color code personalities that got me. I am paraphrasing so bare with me. He said,“Whites are the perfectionist of the color code family”.In my mind, I said,” now wait…am I waiting for the perfect moment to get things done? Is that the cause of stagnation in my life and in my business?” The answer ladies and gentlemen? It is! The truth of the matter is THERE IS NO PERFECT MOMENT. There is only perfect creation where you create the moments to get things done. My goodness, the answer has been here the whole time!!! The whole time ya’ll. I am shook! It’s almost like I was acting like a catapult athlete that kept waiting for the sun to stop shinning or sand to stop being so unstable before I ran, dug my stick in the sand, and thrust my body over the “line of obstacles” and land on the other side.
horrible for waiting for the right conditions and attaching positive, fun, happy, energizing feelings to getting the things done you used to dread(dials, phone calls, prospecting, budgeting …ya’ll figure it out). It’s really helping me. Another thing I am absolutely loving is the flashing of the cards and DMP to the song. It is literally uplifting my soul. Every time I face rejection for whatever reason, I either flash my cards and/or listen to my DMP. It literally feels like waves of love and energy are flowing through my body. No joke. It’s amazing and I am absolutely here for it.
And listen, I made a digital movie poster and put it on the desktop of my phone so when I have to pick it up the first thing I see is my dmp. I am visualizing and looking and connecting the shapes and colors especially True health. I am not one that loves cardio naturally. He(Cardio) had to pursue me and prove to me he was worthy of being in my life. When it gets really hard, I focus on the color red which represents true health for me. Not the pain of my training. When I am making dials and I face rejection which is really re-direction, I focus on the color blue which is liberty for me. It helps me push through mentally what I need to get done. I feel powerful.
Something I noticed about this scroll is it focuses on identity. Og mentions that I am rare..unique…none before me or after me. Coupled with the makeover it is regenerating the faith to believe I am a phenomenal woman. There is nothing more dangerous than someone who is entering and owning the fullness of their potential. I believe that both leadership and royalty is cultivated. Yes there are people that are born to lead and I understand that but through the law of practice, you instill those skills and principles. Let me ask you something. A prince or princess is born to a nation(pick whatever you like). Are they born acting like a royal, or did their teachers and parents have to apply the laws of practice, growth, substitution and forgiveness to teach them HOW to be a royal? They are born royal. True. However, they are TAUGHT to walk, eat, interact, decide, choose and think as a royal otherwise they are just like you and I.
