It’s still my birthday month!
The good times continue with a visit from my dad and his wife.
It’s been a meaningful time for me. Here I am with my dad outside a restaurant on the water. We took a ferry from Seattle and stopped here for some seafood.
PLUS… my new website was revealed last week. Pop on over for a peek if you haven’t yet. www.kendrathornbury.com
Isn’t it beautiful?
We’re still putting some finishes touches to it. And, I have a new enewsletter design coming.
Now that we’ve crossed the mid-way mark of the merry month of May, my energy is increasing toward Kauai.
I will be there in less than 3 weeks! I really can’t believe it. (And I can’t believe that I have one spot open for a VIP day during Summer Solstice!)
My life is a dream come true.
If you want the same for you — a lifestyle you love, freedom of choice, a rewarding purpose— I want you to read my EDGY new article below.
==============
What I’m about to say will ruffle some feathers.
Hey, I might even lose potential clients over it.
I really don’t like complainers!
Yeah, the peace-loving part of me loves all people
in their evolving journey “as they are“.
But, there’s another part of me that has NO interest, NO patience and truly, NO respect, for complainers.
It’s RARE that I attract them. I’ve been at this work for over 20 years. I’ve cleaned up a lot of my personal
crap. I’m aware of how I attract & manifest reality.
And, I have practical business methods in place to screen people.
I only work with people who are serious about creating results.
But… once and a while one gets through.
Someone who thinks she’s justified in her complaint.
Again, I’m going to ruffle some feathers here because… I DON’T believe the customer is always right.
In fact, I think that position perpetuates some
situations that I want to have nothing do to with.
Point in case. Complainers.
It’s one thing to assert your wants.
It’s another to have an attitude of entitlement.
It’s one thing to speak up so that you influence your desired reality.
It’s another to be reactive and blame others for your results.
I got a message from a complainer yesterday.
It blew me away. Clearly, she hasn’t been in my field
long and really taken in the essence of what it
means to live as a deliberate creator and to embody
wealth consciousness.
Now, here’s the deal.
I don’t want to make her bad or wrong.
I’m using this scenario to underscore the
issue of complaining and how it erodes
a lot of people’s progress and success.
It can be really pronounced, or even really subtle.
(Come on, admit it, you may have complained in the last
day or two).
One of the major problems with complaining is that
it gives you a false sense of power derived from feeling
victimized and then complaining about it.
The paradox is, you are giving away your power because
you insist that it’s about someone or something else.
Rather than examining a few key areas that could turn
your situation around, you keep deflecting responsibility
and prolonging the very stress or suffering you are complaining
about.
Here’s what to do instead. Ask a series of potent questions:
1) How might I be contributing to the situation I am in? What
choices, habits, and patterns brought me to this very moment?
2) How is this situation familiar to me? Is the frustration
I feel from it a theme in other areas or different times in my life?
3) How is this situation a mirror for me? What is it reflecting
back to me, that if I chose to see clearly, could help further
my growth?
4) What is my responsibility in this situation? Who have I been
or who am I being that has led me to the results I’m getting?
5) Am I willing to admit the ways I’m getting in my own way
and start being accountable to the results I want?
6) Am I ready to let go of victim consciousness, feeling done
to, feeling wronged, feeling let down and get on with being
the powerful creator I am?
7) What would an attitude of gratitude do to shift this situation?
The truth is, complaining has no place in a successful person’s life.
If you want more purpose, more prosperity, more peace and more freedom,
I urge you go on a complaining cleanse starting immediately. And ending never.
