Yeah yeah, you spellers out there....I know, it's W-O-E.
But not really.
To use a horse analogy....you are the rider of your own Life - and just like a good horse, your Life is responsive to your every move. It "trusts" that you know best! So are you giving it an exhilarating run - or plodding along in the weeds, and steering in such a way that's going to ultimately scrape You off on the overhanging trees! (And then, are you going to blame Life for your falling off??)
When you spend time and mental energy on your "woes", it's just like yelling "whoa" to that horse called Life. So - you see why I say "whoa" is me?
(NOTE: SO when I first wrote this, I wrote "woah" which to me sounds like it should be right, though my friend wrote to me to say it's "whoa." That to me looks like "Wuh-ho-ah." And so to misquote the Caterpillar in Alice In Wonderland "Who Is The Master? You, or the Spelling?" :-) )
I know it's hard. Sometimes, it seems that "life" dishes out some doozies. I certainly have been known to wind up on my backside after being scraped off by the tree branches, cursing either the tree, or "life"! But the reality of it is that I "put me there." And it's my responsibility to "get me out."
Sometimes it's hard to "get out of where you steered Life," too. Really hard. Sometimes it will take time, effort, and money to get back on course - or get back on the ride at all. I know.
Believe me.
And for me, I feel like a hypocrite when I can't "practice what I preach" sometimes. For example, there are things that bring me an intense amount of enjoyment....writing my book, doing seminars, etc. The new real estate "career" ain't it - the still-going law career ain't it. Passion Parties are...but I don't find the time to get them booked -- and now I'm facing losing my "license" to do them, if I don't do $600 worth of sales by the end of May! Oy...
I have "steered Life" in a direction, but to be able to get back on that Path to Passion, I find myself sticking it out in law/real estate to "earn out" the $ I have spent (lots) on (for example) the real estate "thing" - which is not a "passion." And putting to the side the things I love.
This is stupid.
This is against my own teachings. This Stuff Happens :-). I figure if I can sell 2 houses, I will "make back the $ I have spent" on this - then I can decide whether to "stay in." The thing is, I KNOW that what I "want to do" is go national with the fEmpowerment thing - to really commit, to get the book done before my wedding in Sept - etc. That is where my passion is :-). And I am GOOD at it, too.
It's all a process. Just do your best not to get in your own way....find your path to passion, and let your horse called Life go.
And try to bite back the Woes.

Then it should be "whoa" is me. ;-)
Heey! Angel ma-ma, I miss u :-)!
OK, so you have a lot to do!! But if no one can do, you can!!
I would like to have a Passion Party here. Is there a way for me to give one and help you meet your deadline? As for the 2 houses to sell, are you selling your own home? That shouldn’t be a hard one to sell. And I didn’t know you’ve come so far in your book. That’s GREAT! September is right around the corner. Can I get an autographed copy?
So Ms. Solitaire you’re no hypocrite – at least you are biting back your WOES.
Have a good weekend!!!

I'm going to check out if my Passion Parties "mom" has any 'babies' in Chicago and whether it would count towards my $. Wouldn't THAT be something. Who-hooo!
Nope, I'm going to rent out my house -- not quite ready to get rid of the "security" of having it (yet).
You bet re the book -- heck, it's MY Plan that we're going to be on Oprah with it, right? :-)))
