I want to start this week’s blog by admitting that I almost turned in the towel today. My six-year-old laptop gives me issues with software sometimes and causes me to get frustrated with delays.
Today the Goto webinar kept closing and I was thinking I could just forget the live class today and watch the recording in a couple of days when it gets posted. But then I thought about the time I would lose by having to wait that long to hear/watch the lesson for this week.
I know the class notes are available as well as the lesson outline, but that is not the same as getting the examples and extras that are talked about during the webinars. Mark J. even mentions in the lesson today that it was during week 3 when the “kids” got separated from the “adults”, which meant that those who were willing to do the work would advance and be grateful for doing so and the others who didn’t would obviously be left behind in their same old life.
My old way of thinking almost allowed me to quit because of frustrations… but I am so tired of my old life and not getting the results that I really want.
I would get a new computer but it has been low on my priority list. Now that I am in this MKE class and starting to go through the weekly exercises, I realize that my old paradigms are keeping me stuck.
Like I said last week about my life being in chaos, my lack of patience was being tested on a daily basis. I am fortunate that I do have a place to live and I haven’t been on the street like so many others that I see daily.
I had put in 21 job applications in the previous 2 weeks and received invitations for 4 interviews. I am grateful to be starting at a local car dealership this coming Tuesday as well as being selected to be a substitute teacher if I can fit that into my schedule. I know it feels like I am starting all over again, but I have more optimism for the future than I have had in many years.
One of my favorite things we are doing in the class is the 3×5 index cards with our “chores” and “I always keep my promises” statements. I can admit that I have been one to seldom keep my promises to myself. I find it easy to promise others that I will do something and then it’s no problem to follow through for them.
Reading the cards multiple times a day as well as the scrolls and Master Key lessons has already shown me what is possible in such a short amount of time. The long road ahead does not feel so long or even lonely.
Keep up your persistence. You have the work ethic that a boss likes!
You are at the right place in your life and thank you so much for giving you the opportunity to stay.
I love you for making this choice and looking at things more positively.
Glad you stayed. It’s awesome that you told the old blueprint to sit down and shut up. You got this!
Orlando, what a terrific post. And an even more terrific decision to stay with it! It really does make all the difference when you want a different life.
