Thoughts Do Create Reality!
Last week I had the opportunity to speak to 350 amazing people at the Prosperity Expo in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
Not only did I have a chance to speak, it was my “coming out party”. This was the first time I shared my story and the Joy Factor concepts with a group–besides all of you.
It was all that I wanted it to be. I was grounded, present; sharing my story and message from my heart. I was connected with the audience. We laughed and cried and I believe I made the impact that I intended to.
My intention was 2 fold. First, was to have them walk away with at least 1 thing that they would do different in their life to increase their Joy Factor. Dozens of people talked to me through the weekend and shared the gifts they received from my presentation. Those conversations made my heart sing and confirmed why I do what I do.
My other intention was to enroll people to join me for my Connect with your Passion workshop that I will be doing in South Florida at the end of January. Guess how many people enrolled? Zero!
As much as I was disappointed that no one chose to come to the workshop, in Wendy fashion, I stepped back and took a look at what my learning was.
In the back of my mind, you know, my subconcious thoughts, I was not thrilled with having to sell from the front of the room. I knew I could do it and felt comfortable sharing the opportunity, yet it really was not me. Yes, I now see that I could have offered a different price and different bonuses that could have been more compelling. What is really clear to me is that our thoughts truly do create our reality.
I invite you take a look at the thoughts that are hanging out in the back of your mind. Notice if they are in alignment with you, your authentic self. If so, think on. If not, shift the thought so you can create more of what you want in your life.
By the way, I am still planning on teaching the workshop in FL. I will now look at sharing it from the Wendy Way, which includes shifting my beliefs and receiving all the best.
Here is to you receiving all the best from your concious, joyous thoughts.
Funky or Dressy?
There are times when we think our connection to our purpose has to look or feel a certain way Some days I feel like it has to look very dressy; buttoned-up and prim and proper. Those days feel like they are going less with the flow; days that I feel like I have to make things happen. I am working on my projects and with my clients and it feels like work. The “shoulds” show up and I may do things that I really do not want to do, but feel like I should. No fun, less joy!
Other days, I feel like my connection to my purpose of supporting others in being the best they can be looks more funky and eclectic. Those days, I feel more creative, more juicy, as author Sark would say. Things seem to flow more. Those are the days that my Joy Factor is way up there and amazing things happen.
What is different about those days than the buttoned-up days? Those are the days that I let go of wondering about what other people think. That is one of my personal challenges; I let that get in the way of staying connected to my purpose and my authentic self. On this journey of increasing my Joy Factor, I like wearing my funky clothes and allowing magic to happen, in connection to my purpose. You?
