The network is playing for a large community intorduction, and I have generated a list of people I would like to invite, and I am finding it really hard to let go of the attachment to the outcome, and resisting the phonecalls. I cant even identify why it is I am feeling nervous about it.
Shared with a fellow graduate the other day about this, and how selfish it actually is to not let go of this little bit of discomfort. If I was really present to what is available for the person I am inviting by attending the Forum, I should not have any fear at all.
Tonight I called 2 people on my list and a was relieved that they did not answer. That is not acting powerfully. I then rang someone I had not spoken to for more than a year. She had attended an intro of mine, but not registered. When we spoke some days later she said she was not ready, but asked for me to be in touch as she would like to ‘be in the conversation’. When I rang tonight her to invite her to our next intro she completely floored me by telling me she had already completed the curriculum for living! She will now be joining the network. I am excited.
I stepped outside of my feelings of uneasyness when inviting her, and she said that Landmark has ‘completely changed her life’ – the proof is in the pudding
We both attended the Forum with ‘weightloss’ as a goal. None of us have achived this. I know for me it is because I look for the fix, the ‘getting better’, or make myself wrong for the choices i do or don’t make. The results I am looking for has to come from acceptance, and being present to what my feelings really are, and acknowledging the positives. Its a work in progress.
Right now I am thirsty and tired.
Throw me a line when you visit next, I would love to know who is reading and following the post landmark journey – and evenbetter, share your thoughts, stories, breakdowns and breakthroughs. Yes – that means YOU!
