“Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.”—Frank Zappa

“There comes a point when you know, without doubt, without hesitation, that you cannot go back to your old life. You cannot be who you once were and also have a new life with new riches.”—Julie McIntyre

So, I fell this morning at pickleball, a huge, embarrassing spill right in front of 11 other players. My Hay House teleseminar on Tuesday was not the huge success I had hoped for. I guess what I’m trying to say is my old school belief systems (AKA: my B.S.) is trying to get my attention.

In fact, it has been quite vigilant this week. But here’s what I know.

Anytime I feel guilt or doubt or choose to look upon lack or limitation, the old belief system is in command.

My job, at that point, is to a) recognize it, b) ask for help from the Holy Spirit and c) eventually throw out the old script.

The old belief system, the critical self-chatter is an outdated, boring old re-run and, as far as I’m concerned, it’s time to rip that sucker to shreds.

The potential for getting bucked off the horse is always there.

But so is the question: “How long am I going to lay there before I decide to get back up in the saddle?”
