OK, so I am not really fishing, but I am doing something exciting! Shhhhhh! Tune in next week to find out more. In the meantime, have a great week.

Last week on Make the Most of U I posted about living the lie of not having or being enough. It’s funny, right after I wrote the post I had the urge to shout “I AM ENOUGH!” so I did.  Damn if it didn’t feel good!!

This felt and feels HUGE!

It is so huge that it is generating some BIG buzz.  Since that post some amazing conversations, thoughts, and a-has have been shared by others - people are stepping up to join me in staking claim to being enough.  I am forever grateful!! I am beginning to understand that the more people who see themselves as enough, the more modeling to take place, the more impact it will have on this world.

(Think about it. The thoughts of not having enough can lead to greed. Greed can lead to internal and external strife and even war.)

As I continue to explore the concept of being enough, more reveals itself.

On a personal level I have found that several of the fears I have been working on are deeply seated in the not enough chair.

                                      AND

If I am enough for me, I no longer have to run in the never ending race of being enough for everyone else. Frankly, that race has become tiring and has taken up too much valuable time. With that said, I also have to remember that while my enough may work for me, it may not work for another person and that person has the right to move on. In doing so it is not because I am a bad or deficient person, I am just not the right person for them or vice-versa. That is A-OK! 

                                      AND

Being enough is not about complacency! It’s about having faith that you are enough, enough to have whatever you want be the best it can be. So there is no way that I am going to sit back on my haunches. With the faith that I am enough (and that I have enough) I will continue to set intentions and take action.

                                      AND

I also understand that in order to model being enough, I have to ensure that I am not giving “not enough” message to others. Everyone is enough and everyone has more than enough. 

So here’s to being enough and to continuing to explore being enough so that I can support others in seeing their (and they’re) enough.

Since my last post I experienced a bit of a storm – an inner storm. I felt like crap, to be honest; anxious, on edge…just plan crappy. I was so deep in to it that trying to make coherent sentences come out of my mouth was even difficult. This meant I got little work done on my e-workbooks (which are due for release at the end of the month), because I was basically in shut down mode.

Rather than completely freak out (as I have done in the past), I just sat with my feelings (oh, and I shared them as I needed to). Then it dawned on me that the reason I was feeling so crappy was because I was making room. You know the “remove the crap to make room for the good stuff” kind of room? That's what I was doing. I was getting really clear on what wasn’t serving me any more so I could make room for the things that will. 

Just as I was in the middle of all the yuck I received the following e-mail message from TUT.com. (If you haven’t had a TUT experience, you don’t know what you are missing.)

Very often, Pam, when tides start turning, great gears begin shifting, and gusting winds start blowing at the onset of a really wonderful dream's alignment with your present life, there is commotion, unpredictability, even turmoil.

So, hey, let's always assume that's the case whenever you experience commotion, unpredictability, even turmoil. K?

Whhh-hhh-hh-h-h-h-ish-

Let not your senses deceive, for even as the tempest may howl, just beyond it lies a serenity that could not otherwise find you. The storm before the calm, Pam, if you will.

Pretty timely, don’t you think?

What’s amazing, because I didn’t freak out, but instead stayed present, some really cool things happened…

1) Six potential clients contacted me and
2) I was asked if I wanted to teach a very cool teleclass.

So here's to dancing in the storm and having faith that the serenity will follow with space, light, and huge potentials.

1. An open heart leads to an open mind.
2. There is always a golden nugget to be found in a pile of poop. You just have to be willing to dig for it.
3. Gossiping says more about the person gossiping than it does about the person being gossiped about.
4. Leap and the net will appear.
5. Listening between the lines is crucial. 
6. You have more to gain by taking a chance than you do to lose.
7. Judging a book by its cover may cost you the best read of your life.
8. Fear is allergic to the present moment.
9. Love is a powerful tool to have in your toolbox. It fixes hurt feelings and wards off fear.
10. If you don't have "it", you can't give "it".
11. It's none of my business what others think of me. It is my business what I think of me.
12. Vulnerability is NOT a sign of weakness, but rather a great testament to strength.
13. To stop learning is to stop growing.
14. A world without music is a world without color.
15. Looking for the good rather than the bad or the ugly leaves you open to seeing more good.

I cannot wait to add more to the list as I continue to learn! What great lessons have you learned?
