What a day... Celebrating the end of Success :P
It's been filled with poetry, inspiration and love.
It's also been filled with support and connection, and has left me feeling loved, and grateful.
First of all, a huge thank you to subtle_eye who spent hours on unravelling style sheets for me today courtesy of Word 2007 being... difficult. I learnt lots and usually I can fix my own problems like this just fine... this one really did stump me though.
Thank you to LR whom picked up my text books for me, and also met me for coffee - which was brilliant. I think I'm utterly in line with the awesomeness of Tiger Tiger. I liked the place before, now I really love it :)
Also, thanks to prk who just made things completely possible. *grateful*
Is there anyone who is free on the morning of August 10th (Tuesday next week) who could take me to the airport for 7:30-8am?
Tonight was the last night of my seminar series... and I've learned and accomplished -so- much out of it. The context of the seminar series was 'Success' and in 10 sessions since May, we've really gotten down and dirty inside this thing. I've gotten through conversations I never thought possible, I've confronted things I didn't think I'd willing do, and my conversation about work, and taking responsibility last week? Totally inside of this as well. It's been awesome.
I have new clarity on who I am, for myself, for the world, for those I love, and that I am the source of my already existing success in this. And that time and again every time I create inside of what I'm learning, it always comes back to love. This is by far the most driving and overwhelming force in my life, I cannot turn away from it, it is part of my everyday thoughts, everything I want to see in the world, every change, every shift, comes from some relationship to love. The world + more love + more awareness around love = my dream for the world.
Some dot point things I learned:
* I learned that I can put what's most important to me above being 'responsible' and 'reasonable'. This is seen in that, I fly to Brisbane next week, and have essentially turned my life inside out to do so, it meant that much to me. I'm clear that I'd have done the same for my trips to Melbourne this year.
* I've become acquainted with my own awesomeness, and what I really bring to the world, to a space, to a conversation; that I give at least as much as I get. I'm not constantly getting 'the better end of the deal' so to speak.
* I can stand up for myself. I can look after myself. I can protect myself. I have all the strength I need. This is also inside my realisations last week around perceptions of being manipulated, of feeling weak etc. Whether I was ever that person or not... I certainly haven't been that person for a long time, and this is one of the things I'm newly aware of taking conscious responsibility for.
* Success for me is being a powerful experience of love shared amongst a world of equals, in sacred and joyful celebration. This is who I am, this is my stance for what I want to generate in the world.
* Fundamentally success is about agreement, and that once upon a time we agreed that the world was flat... therefore success is often absurd - especially when treated as something to strive for rather than a place to come from. In striving for success, we sell out on who we really are and what is really important to us - and in realising this, we have power and choice.
It's been a full on few months, but it's been incredible too. The learning curve has been steep and I've been confronted over it all so many times, feeling like crap but being aware inside that it's all growing... it's all going somewhere, and that I really like where I'm going.
I've spent this seminar series being continually inspired by those around me and what they're doing, what they're going through and what's important to them. There is no limit to what is possible in a room of people who are all open to this, all in the conversation about this. It's incredible. Once upon a time these would be people who 'wouldn't like me, because I'm strange'. Now I just get to feel connected and inspired. I love that.
And now, bed time.
