MKE WEEK 18 – A Different Funeral

On a recent webinar Mark talked about having a little funeral for your old blueprint beliefs.  I did that today.

First I wrote out, on a couple of index card, some of the old beliefs that are holding me back: procrastination, fear, doubt, and so on.  I was specific – such as fear of losing my identity as a nurse if I were to retire and pursue my dream.  And I was general – such as fear and doubt – so as not to miss any.

Then I went outside to our backyard fire pit with a lighter and some matches (very cold today, wasn’t sure what would light).  It took a bit, but my cards did light, and as they burned to ash I said goodbye to limits and hello to the New Me.

I also read a few lines from the new Greatest Salesman Scroll:

I live this day as if it is my last.  I avoid with fury the killers of time.  Procrastination I destroy with action; doubt I bury under faith; fear I dismember with confidence.  Where there are idle mouths I listen not; where there are idle hands I linger not; where there are idle bodies I visit not.  I am not a thief.  I am a woman of love, and today is my last chance to prove my love and my greatness.  I live this day as if it is my last.  Og Mandino

I am looking forward to the new scroll, the new opportunities, the New Me.  Cheers!
