Lesson 12: Acknowledging

It's interesting, when I picked up the book and read the title of this lesson, I instantly thought that "acknowledging" meant to acknowledge the effect other people have had on our lives. What a surprise to learn that it's about acknowleding me and my achievements--precisely what the lesson points out that we often forget to do.

And this is a great day for this lesson for me, because I was able to notice and applaud something I did--and was fortunate to talk to Aisza right afterward so that I could talk about it and get some external affirmation.

I mentioned in a previous blog that I have been participating in an affirmation group. Every day (6 days a week), we get together and read our affirmations and share our successes. It has been an amazing journey--particularly since I hadn't been doing my affirmations consistently (honestly, I thought I didn't need to--ha!). With consistent application, I am noticing that I literally create my own reality--a concept I have often taught others, but (for shame) hadn't really applied in my own life. By writing what I want my life to be like, repeating it over and over, and sharing it with others, I am discovering that I have an irresistible urge to make that a reality in my experience. It has been amazing!

There are two pieces of my affirmation that are important to today's events:
1. I affirm that making money with Liberty League is simple, brilliant and inspired and that anyone from anywhere can follow the system and build a path to their dreams.
2. I claim prospects who contact me because they are ready, willing and eager to receive their abundance. These new friends understand our simple system, are excited about joining our community, get started immediately, and succeed wildly.

These two things have completely revolutionized how I think about and talk to prospects. Today I spoke with a woman who was a struggling life coach. After listening to the overview call, she was on the fence and scared. I asked her what she teaches her clients, and she said, "To live in integrity with what they want in life and to make bold decisions." So I asked her, "And do you live in integrity with what you want and make bold decisions?"

Shane often says that being a leader means having bold conversations with people--taking a stand for their greatness and not putting up with their "stuff." Today was the first time I really did that, and it felt so great. I came from a position of strength, and I believe I left this woman with some powerful things to think about when it comes to her life and what she will choose to do with it.

And it all came because my head is now in the right place--and it feels awesome!!! :o)
