A Change in the Air

Its hard to be unaffected by the spirit of hope and optimism Barak Obama has brought to bear across the world recently, and with times getting leaner and meaner for many people, we all want to believe that change is possible and life as a result will improve in some way.

And, do you know, that if that happens in the wider political arena, we want to know that it will also impact in our personal lives and that we can sustain the change.

Some of my fellow masterminders have sought to support each other’s efforts in decluttering their home and office environments and to have daily accounting for the tasks we had set ourselves.

Well, this wasn’t just in order to create a better environment to be in but to also achieve other even more profound changes in our lives be it in the area of relationship, career, money or business.

There was the general feeling that living with the degree of clutter most of us do, there was a definite block on our physical and emotional energies that prevented us achieving their wider goals.

That daily email connection gave us the spur to do what we had to do and kept up the motivation wonderfully because we were nudging and encouraging each other, challenging when someone wasn’t checking in, inspiring each other with our efforts in doing the best we could, and adding the belief in ourselves that we could achieve what we set out to do.

Then life throws a spanner in the works – as it does some times. Some people got sick bugs and their efforts fell away. And in the words of one person, ‘My mojo’s gone’.

She needs the mastermind group to help bring new levels of enthusiasm and motivation to her efforts.

In fact she’s done brilliantly. It may not sound like much but she can walk around her apartment now without having to move things out of her way. She’s saving money because she can find paperwork relating to payments. She’s systematizing her paperwork slowly and because its going to take her a long time – months I’m told –she needs the support of others who can assure her she can do it and keep the momentum going.

Can we do it? Yes, we can! That’s what we’re there for. And so can she. And why? Because as Napoleon Hill tells us in Think and Grow Rich, two or more minds working in harmony, produce a synergistic energy that create many more possibilities through our united vision and sense of purpose. And from the little acorns we plant now, change’s gonna come as we help each other reach for our best.

Gratitudes for the day

1. I had news that a course I was hesitating over doing had  been reduced in price because of some drop outs by about two thirds and I hesitated no longer. What a blessing for the day!

2. Son in great mood. He 'aced' his math test. I am grateful for his determination to succeed and to work hard towards it.

3. I can't get Mon Coer s'ouvre a ta voix out of my head and I've been singing all day, over and over. Its made me feel connected again to some part of me that's been dormant, and thats a good feeling. A blessing indeed.
