The Snobbery of Imagined Success


It has been 3 weeks and 3 days since I escaped from "The Farm". I have regrouped and come up with some great new ideas and I am feeling pretty good about myself. Just when I was telling myself that I was the greatest thing since sliced bread, The Imp cleared it's throat and whispered seductively..."yeah, that's right. You rock now, but remember the last time you were feeling too damn good? Look what happened! You went down like a lead balloon - straight onto your overgrown behind! you ALWAYS feel good right before you take a tumble to Failsville...hahhahahhaha!"

Here we go again. The Imp strikes once more. Robbing me of my confidence and telling me that there is no way! A soggy peanut has a greater chance in the bowels of hell than I do! I close my eyes, take a deep breath, focus, and feel the joy that I can spread if I do my level best and approach this new life of self employment as a humble acolyte, not some hot shot here to re-write history.

I kept my promise and launched that Executive Support Service and was totally amazed at the speed with which the idea grew wings and took flight. Reader - I PROMISE you. I will take this new opportunity with grace and humility and make sure that I serve and lead with sincerity. This might be the only way that I can keep the Imp from tearing me down. I look back now and see that I operated with a "license for snobbery". I thought that I had arrived at some lofty place of exclusive membership reserved only for the "successful". I didn't realise that to climb that mountain of "true personal success", I would have to come down out of the tree I had been sitting in at the base of the mountain and start the climb up to the summit of the mountain. I had been at ground zero the whole time that I was enjoying my so called success and never knew that a Groovy Journey of personal development awaited me! How can we be so blind in our own lives?? Today there are so many companies closing and so many people scared about how they are going to feed their children and pay their bills. Looking good doesn't amount to a hill of beans when you have no plan for tomorrow. I urge you to get a plan for tomorrow. Somehow, someway.

I am so grateful today. Without my travel business, I would never have had the experience or the tools to move forward. I would be stuck, with The Imp running rings around me, tying me up in knots and causing me to implode with inactivity and confusion.
The Groovy Journey is holding me to the road and to the declarations that I made in public to pursue a life of entrepreneurship. The Groovy Journey has me in a grip of accountability so strong that I have given up trying to break free. I must continue to build my travel business and apply myself to supporting anyone who needs my help. I hope that you are continuing to keep your eye on your personal horizon. Become your own genius, your own compass star for the direction that your heart and spirit takes you. Every single one of us has a "portal" built especially for us by The Divine Power. Your mission in life is to find it, define it and step boldly through it. It is then that your personal genius will propel you forward in any direction you wish to take. Don't spend another minute unfulfilled working for "wages" (Work And Get Extra Stress!) to pay for stuff you don't need. Instead, use your personal genius to show you your purpose so that you can make profit and spread joy in your life and in the lives of others. You can save YOU! Throw off your fear, it is a mouldy old blanket and it will stink up your dreams. Your dreams should be so clear and lofty, and smell so good that they make you giddy!

I want to get on the road and get dizzy with freedom and joy. I want to reach out and grab at the chance for personal health, wealth and happiness. I urge you to do the same! If you need a traveling companion for a while, give me a shout!
