Hi, dear soul –
Warm greetings and blessings to you!
May you be filled with lovingkindness.
May you be safe and protected from all inner and outer dangers.
May you be well in body and mind.
May you be at ease and happy.
In August of 2012, alongside my dear friend Jana Stanfield, I had the great good fortune of providing music for Jack Canfield’s “Breakthrough To Success” Training in Scottsdale, AZ. Meeting Jack, and seeing him “in action”, were very powerful experiences for me; I respect Jack as a man of integrity that truly “walks his talk”…
One of the many inspiring things that Jack said was that he attributes his success to 3 things: (1) Having a daily meditation practice, (2) belonging to a MasterMind group, and (3) building a team around him.
(1) Has been a part of my life for quite some time;
(2) and (3) involve ASKING for help and support from others – !!!
Try as I (and my perfectionist pattern) might, it’s impossible for me to realize my dreams and goals without help… So I’m learning to ask for it. 🙂
I’m truly grateful for the growing amount of support that I’m allowing into my life and, as a result, for the sweetness of MUCH better and richer experiences than I could’ve realized on my own: the thoughts and ideas that are shared by the members of my MasterMind group; the skills and talents of all who are helping me to complete my new CD; the patience and understanding of my beloved wife Sheila… I am blessed beyond measure. Life is GOOD!
And again, I see all of this as being another manifestation of my prayer / intention for this year: FAITH.
YES, YAY and AMEN!
How about YOU?
Who’s on YOUR team?
How are they serving you and moving you forward with your word/intention(s) for 2013?
WHEREVER you are on your journey, I’d love to hear from you. Please e-mail me at nathenaswell@me.com; we’re all in this together, and we have much to learn from each other. 🙂
