The Storm Dragon Revisits
I am often depressed. The last few days have been…
There is an offer. It’s from Dean Graziosi. 91% off. I could swing it, if I really wanted to. But there’s not enough in it that attracts me. Not the way I work. It’s for people not like me who do things differently than the way I do them. The only part of the offer that intrigued me was the journals; of course, no surprise there.
The Better Life Journals, not to be confused with Better Life Journals the company who do other stuff such as The Mindful Life Journal but not the Dean Graziosi stuff which I can only buy from Mastermind – the Dean Graziosi, Tony Robbins and Jenna Kutcher show. For $39USD + $35USD shipping I can buy the Better Life Journal Productivity Pack in all four colours, which is roughly $100AUD or $25AUD each.
Or there’s the books and bonuses for $97USD (no shipping) which will set me back approximately $150AUD (and you know how I love a bargain, especially if it’s value for money… which it is if I can use it and it’s not if I don’t; for whatever reason). And it’s the ‘for whatever reason’ I really feel inspired to talk about today, but first I want to get back to the trickle from here to here to here that went a little like this:
All of which led me, along the way, to my own realisations that what I’ve been doing is totally in tune and in line with my own way of operating and, more importantly, my own needs. The thing is, I only have so much time-energy at the moment. I only have so much access to funding and incentive to spend on business building at the moment. And there’s only so much I actually want to get done here and now.
I bought a reMarkable device the other day b/c I know how much time I spend writing and how much easier it will be being able to transfer between digital and paper versions of what I’m doing. That was $897AUD with the keyboard and pen. That’s a lot of money for me, for us, right now and I don’t take that for granted.
When I see the Mastermind products for sale, I recognise how I’m more interested in making journals to sell than buying more of somebody else’s stuff. That I’m more interested in designing my-own-portal than paying into someone else’s sales funnel. More interested in building my own support system structure that takes my unique way of being into account than getting boxed into an existing strategy.
…one without outcomes, one that accepts we are all perfectly on purpose and asks questions based upon that premise even if that shows up as hogwash in the moment. That is, one that poses queries from that place but does not assume the questions will take on a particular accent. Not oneness. Not spirituality. Not goal-less or outcome-free or ascension neutral. Questions that assume almost nothing about a person’s hopes, direction, drives and dreams. Assumptions, by the way, that almost always come back to language and the interpretations therein.
Mastermind is an example of something fabulous that would be amazing if I operated like other people do. But I don’t, so it’s a waste of money. And that’s a real shame b/c the people involved are sooo supportive and so very genuinely interested in making it possible for me to succeed not just in business but in life in general; and that’s rare.
On Dean’s blog article ‘9 Journal Templates to Accelerate Your Success’ [ https://www.deangraziosi.com/journaling-templates/ ] there’s the option to download the nine templates he outlines. Not just that but you can see what you’re downloading. It’s pictured on the page within the article in case you decide not to download (say, if you have no data or are not on a device that allows for it) which is so thoughtful.
Even if I can’t use their processes and programs for myself I can still get so much about their style of business building by interacting with their systems.
When I was checking out the Better Life Journal packages [ https://learn.mastermind.com/order-blj ] I entered my details to see how it feels. If it feels like a yes, I go for it. If I feel hesitation or a pull to do something else then I don’t. That’s how I make most of my decisions. That and being told. Not in words but by a silent voice that tells me to check something out or watch a particular movie or buy a certain book or whatever. Otherwise I have this kind of knowing-without-knowing that guides my decisions which is even harder to explain.
Feeling into it is how I ended up doing all the things which feel supportive to me. Some of which I signed up for while others I simply come back to again and again for comfort, for inspiration, for a kick in the pants, or whatever I need that day in that moment. Here are a few items at the top of that list:
But what I really loved about my experiences today, checking out the 91% OFF offer and entering my details into Dean Graziosi’s sales page was the love I received. Instantly after visiting (and not yet buying) the journals I got an email from Dean’s automated system that welcomed me to the family whether I decided to purchase or not. He gave me access to a circle of people doing the work whether I went through the checkout or not.
That kind of love, that kind of appreciation and generosity of spirit is really beautiful. I saw it on both of the previous Tony Robbins online events I signed up for. The emails full of useful and usable information coming thick and fast whether I could afford to go through with their ultimate offer is just astounding to me. In an age where most messages include a pitch or hold back information until you click that buy button these guys and gals are doing business so differently, and I’m loving it!
Like I said, I just wish I was like everybody else enough to find some value in signing up for the bigger offers b/c they’re insanely supportive, practical, relevant content rich, and hardworking. It turns out what I need now is quiet. I have enough to-do’s to keep me occupied (read ‘sane’ there; I go mad if there’s no larger project going on) until I’m well enough to do more. In the meantime, I continue to pick the bones of all the things I love, and to follow any intuitive knowings I get on a daily basis. That’s all.
Oh! And one more thing that struck me which I kind of touched on earlier with the “I’m already doing it” comment is the Matthew McConaughey The Art of Livin’ article [ https://www.deangraziosi.com/the-art-of-livin-experience-a-first-of-its-kind-matthew-mcconaughey-live-event/ ] mentions your soul frequency and the importance (or relevance) of being in tune with your uniqueness in everything that you do and how you approach everything… which is exactly what Ronda of Divine Navigation is doing; except she wraps a method around it and calls it mastery.
Either way, it feels like today was a whole lotta holy recognition on my part through all these byways and highways of what it is and what is to be / famous, happy, fulfilled, sensorially satisfied, felt, successful, and so on / in so many ways.
I offer readings of life's raw experience by way of symbolic interpretation. My passion is caring for (and adding to) our animal rescue family.
