Double Your Living
I want you to know the beauty of life. I want you to AWAKEN, and
see that people want to connect with you. I want you to finally
realize how desperately you want to connect with other human
beings, and then to distinguish, to see clearly, the 100
barriers we accidentally, and deliberately put up to stop that
happening! At core most of us are raised believing we are bad.
Unfortunately, if this is true, we are also surrounded by people
feeling the SAME. The fact that intimacy DOES occur on the
planet COULD be referred to by some as a miracle. If one scared
human being looks like actually getting close to us, the fear of
BEING SEEN, and consequently being REJECTED leads to instant
barriers. I believe the purpose of life is to find those
barriers and bring them down. But that won't happen today..... I
want you to get to know, how scared you are, and love yourself
for it. Then I want you to realize how scared everyone else is,
and laugh at the joke. (You walk into a party and head to the
kitchen - safe from the scary people! - but they're feeling the
same way! It's a joke!) But you won't get to know this - to
really know this - today. I want you to remember with joy the
most intimate, loving experiences of your life, and then imagine
them tripled. Imagine them tripled in intensity, and imagine
having them five - times - more - often! (That's FIFTEEN times
the intimacy and love for the mathematicians out there). Imagine
lying on your death bed, surrounded by loved ones, breathing 'I
have truly lived, like few have lived before me'. Imagine them
saying at your funeral: 'This woman, or this man, will be
remembered for truly opening up to others. For truly seeing
people and loving them as they are. And! For first finding out
what it took to love her self, so that she could love others.'
Is that all I want? No. I want you to be so uninhibited by the
thinking of others, that self expression becomes the NORM for
you! We've been conditioned since the age of TWO......to quash
our impulses. Our natural desires are now strained through
filters so fine, so powerful, and so automatic, that perhaps
-out of TEN, only 1-3 of our natural impulses make it through to
the outside world. Is that possible? Could we be 30% expressed?
Who has ever felt the impulse to hug someone, or kiss someone,
or compliment someone, and held back? I had the strong impulse
to hug my gardener! But it felt "INAPPROPRIATE". But who knows
how she would have felt? Who knows how that could have impacted
her whole day, and who she might have hugged? It was a natural
desire which never got expressed. Inappropriate. How many
INAPPROPRIATES do you have in your life? I want you to be so
uninhibited by the thinking of others, that self expression
becomes the NORM for you! Is that too much to want? I don't
think so. I want it for you. I also want it for myself.
Question: Whatever level of LOVE, INTIMACY and PEACE you have
now, WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO DOUBLE IT!? And we know that's not
going to happen today. We've had 30, 50 YEARS of conditioning.
That won't happen today. But it can happen - in bursts, and
continuously for life. So "How do I do that?" "How do I Double
My Living - now, and for the rest of my life?". Well, I will
tell you the best way I know. Two Actions to DOUBLE YOUR LIVING
OPTION 1: Immerse Yourself in a Community which GROWS you. The
quickest and most powerful way I know to do this, is to Do a
Mind Blowing Course. Leave the comfort zone and jump into what's
beyond it. Surround yourself with people doing the same thing. I
personally recommend The Forum, run by Landmark Education. If
you're close to a capital city, you might be lucky enough to
have a center close by. I send all my friends, family and
clients there, and no - I don't get commission or a toaster. I
estimate 40% of people have clear life-changing experiences, 40%
say they learned tools which make a big difference to their
life, and 20% don't realize it until years later, or just can't
hear the information. If you do do this, PLEASE drop me a line
and let me know how it went. OPTION 2: Find a Coach Now I want
you to note something here. I'm a coach! One way I make a living
is getting paid to move people forward in their lives. I don't
MAKE A CENT from you doing the course recommended above. And yet
I'm actually saying if you're choosing between doing The Forum,
and hiring a coach - then do The Forum. But if you're not up for
that - if you don't work best in a group of 200, or if you've
already done a bunch of courses and you're ready for
personalized attention, then I recommend coaching. Coaches
normally coach once a week by phone (or in person), and by
email. Issues range from relationships to life/work balance to
cleaning out your closets. If you would like to give coaching a
