Something I had thought I worked through. Maybe something that requires continued working through in situations where new wounds are created regularly, honestly something I never considered before. Listening to Dr. Rick Marks and Toms CSP video was so powerful---wrong doing creates an opportunity for an exchange--but are you eligible? Interesting concept. Somehow found that to be freeing. I found going over what forgiveness is NOT was super powerful. Resistance to forgiveness--you still want something from the offender....that was mind blowing. (requires some thought in quiet time). So profound was the expectations. Apple tree vs orange tree example. Lends itself to a lot of perspective. Someone may never be who you need or want them to be. Let it Go and Deal with Who they are. The offender may never give you what you want--but you have a choice. Are you willing to give up the thing you want from the offender so you can have freedom found in forgiveness--or will you choose to hold on? At very least, you will know what you are holding on to. SO Grateful to be apart of CSP!!

I Look forward to learning and sharing. I appreciate being part of this organization.

Unfortunately, a good deal of my listening takes place when I am driving. Therefore, taking notes on the nuggets at the moment of impact.... well it's difficult, if I do not wish to impact w/ another object LOL! I sure hope that he will be willing to record more wisdom, that unpacks those nuggets. I particulary resonated w/ the hiring energetic people, as well as don't try to change a person. Some folks are moldable & others not. Efficiency & Awareness were big take-aways.

Really cool going back through this information a little over a year later from opening my practice. A brief testimony about this material if I may. Tom actually mentored me through the pre-opening process and choosing a market. I’m happy to say we’ve been profitable since month 2 in business and are now seeing $20k+ profit monthly. Wouldn’t have been possible on my own or without this knowledge, that just makes sense.

The concept of not taking yourself too seriously pays off in so many ways. What is the bigger picture? What role do you have in your bigger purpose? Sometimes I can get so focused on my own goals, or the ins and outs of the goings on in my day to day life (taking myself too seriously)--I lost sight of the bigger picture. It cost me a lot of time. It cost me even more with one my most precious commodities--my energy! This all took so much toll on me emotionally. Then I spent so much time trying to figure out what I was missing--when all I needed to do was Zoom out. Zoom out and remember my bigger purpose, and stop taking myself too seriously. Now's the time to refocus and get moving! Again :)
