Day 2

On the road again! I left Marin County inspired as I headed to LA, after spending a couple hours with some good friends that had made waves of accomplishments in their lives thus far. Sometimes just being in the presence of sucess is motivation in itself. If they can do it, I can do it… right?!?!  

Immediately out of the gates I had 2 scheduled phone conversations, one with my small group leader from a program I’m involved in, and another with a complete stranger I had been introduced to, and let me tell you, when you have nothing else to do, but be present and listen, it’s amazing what can happen from that stance.

Let’s start with the small group leader. It was an efficient 10 minute phone conversation in which I discovered that my need to be independent, and not receive support from others was purely protecting my Ego which stemmed from the fact that my Mother was a stay at home Mom that didn't work (she did end up creating a job for herself eventually after we were out of the house) and of course that I’m a little rebellious.  Although, I want children of my own, I have a constant battle between accomplishing my career, and receiving which could potentially be dependent on someone.  As I want a supportive and giving relationship soooo badly, I have been continuing to fine tune this internal dialogue which only leads me to resist relationships and support from others. We discovered during the call that I need to end the fight against receiving, as at the end of the day, there is no reason for it and that “self induced” program I have set for myself is not serving me. Wowza! It’s amazing what you can learn in 10 minutes about yourself.

My next call was also stimulating as it was with someone I had never spoken to before which was supposed to be purely about our consulting business, but it lead to a potential book, and me writing this blog on my 60 day move to LA.  They were so motivated by my most recent actions in life that they insisted I write about it, as they were ready to read it. Another Wowza! I was unintentionally motivating others and potentially great things were coming from it!

I then continued the drive listening to my Ted Talks about leadership, Lean In with Sheryl Sandberg (a book I intend to read as it’s obviously my personal dilemma), the exciting entrepreneur Elon Musk, as well as talks on individuality, identities, and creativity. This was the perfect concoction as I continue learning about myself and what I’m up to in life.

LESSON OF THE DAY:  When I am open and present for a conversation,

light bulb moments shine through even during a quick 10 minute chat.

As I arrived in LA, nothing but pure passion exuded from my being as I am officially charged up and ready to conquer this world.
