Week 11- The Eleventh Hour; or the Red Phone

Here are my Affirmation and Momentums for this week:

Affirmation: I am in High demand as I Passionately present the Playbook Series with authenticity from my heart.

Momentums:

1. Red Phone-I am contacting all the Unity and Religious Science Centers in the Northwest this week, first by eMail, then a follow-up phone call, to introduce myself and offer to present an intro to the Playbook Series.


2. Reconnect with all of my support people at a deeper level, going over my goal and accepting their support and help.


3. Find a collaborator for web and design.


4. Commit to ‘being’ what I teach at an even higher level. Add at least 5 new plays to my personal Playbook by Choice.


5. Be willing to stay in the struggle to experience the balance between me ‘making’ this happen vs trusting the universe and ‘allowing’ it to happen. Listen and write what I re-discover.

Everyone has heard of the Red Phone in the White House that gives the President immediate access to all the super powers in the world. We talked about coming to the end of our coaching and developing our Super Powers around our goal and using the Red Phone to commit to another human being to accomplish a rather large momentum that will lead to our goal.

I thought about my super power and came up with Jonathon Livingston Seagull. I love the way he went about exploring and seeking his truth regardless of what his ‘peeps’ were doing and regardless of what they thought. He wanted their friendship, but exploring and finding his truth was even more important. He talked about eating to live, not living to eat.

The story of him out over the ocean practicing his dives drives me! He was practicing flying fast like a falcon and making progress, but had a hard time controlling his wings in their tucked state. He worked at it and had some success, then on his final dive he lost control and plummeted into the water causing some damage. He decided to give up because what he was doing wasn’t natural and who was he to think he could do what the others weren’t doing. He started to fly back to his tribe, using the laborious wing flap that was his ‘nature’ agreeing to just be one of the flock. Early in to his flight it dawned on him that he was flying at night, and Seagulls don’t fly at night!

Jonathon looked at that and that inner light came through and he re-affirmed that there was more to his life than the flock recognized. He flew back up in to the sky and started diving again, and had his greatest success to that point, as he was able to hold his wings and scoop through the air like no Seagull before him!

My Super Hero combines those traits of Jonathon with my desire to remain a kid and have fun with this whole process. I am Boundless Truth Living DUDE! The boundless refers to the lack of a box to live in, or my willingness to step outside the box when I run up against one. Truth Living refers to that Jonathon-like ability to seek and live my truth, no matter what. I still don’t espouse many universal truths and don’t impose my truths on others, but I’ll be damned if anyone or anything is going to impose their truth on me, either! Finally, the DUDE part is to remind me to enjoy the ride and remain childlike, curious, willing to explore, to not know, to discover! I am Boundless Truth Living Dude and I will continue to rock my world!

When asked what I wanted to achieve in these last few weeks, I wrote, “To be what I teach. To have my own personal Playbook by Choice. Lastly, to have my materials finished and presentable, all twelve modules.”

What I found interesting is that, although I really want to do the workshops, and will, I’m recognizing that me living these truths is even more important and a cornerstone to a successful workshop career. I know that I will teach far more by who I am that by what I say, and truthfully, I want to be what I am presenting. Having recognized this, I also recognize that the next step is to market myself and the series, so my Red Phone activity for this week is to contact all of the Unity and Religious Science Centers here in the Northwest and using my Super Hero shamelessly promote myself and provide them with the opportunity to experience Mike Gifford and his message of empowerment.

I shared this momentum with Christine and we set up a reward, from her to me, that is so awesome only a fool would let fear or doubt stand in the way. Lets see how much of a fool I am NOT! Let’s see if I can fly like a Falcon even though I am in a Seagull suit. Here’s to a great and powerful week, no matter what happens around me!
