I’ve been doing personal growth for most of my life…constantly learning, adding to the vault, and becoming better. I love learning and growing and figuring things out for myself and others. I was pretty comfortable, so to speak – discovered in the last couple of years that it was comfortably uncomfortable and just tolerable – through my 40’s and as I crashed toward 50.
I had this idea that I wanted my mortgage paid off, be married, and have my master’s by 40. I got 2 out of 3 of those, and they were great choices. I was good. I was working and succeeding both as an employee and an entrepreneur, making good money, learning, exploring, traveling, meeting great people and patients, and making others tens of millions of dollars doing what I do best.
But did you ever just know that something was missing? That your internal gibberish and unrelinquished crap has a flaming message to tell you? That the events in your life are screaming for you to wake up and truly see? That you should be doing something more? That you have something more to offer the world that has yet to emerge? That what you’d been doing and excelling at was no longer satisfying your heart, soul, and brain? That you should shed the culture scape and the beliefs that hinder your journey to greatness? That you can change most everything about when someone challenges you to see a bigger life? That you can actually live in level 4 consciousness and feel like you belong there?
As I accumulated kensho and satori moments over the years, life somehow numbed me and robbed me of part of my soul while letting me grow. Life was beating me up…without my permission or giving me notice. Or maybe I let life do that to me? I knew I was growing but I was clearly asleep at the wheel - such a paradox. I was walking around excelling but somewhat apologetically, justifying, and pleasing everyone – except me. The past caught up with me and stirred up emotions and unhealed wounds and self-destructive habits. I had battled eating disorders in my life and finally came to grips with all which surrounded that (that’s a book in the making). That incredibly deep (and sometimes very painful) work and healing unearthed a lot of stuff, and with divine intervention, transformed me…with my hard work and surrendering to all of it.
It taught me the “How.” But honestly, Mindvalley has taught me the “Why.” I began “Be Extraordinary” with Vishen Lakhiani about one month before the COVID-19 shutdown. I don’t remember how I finally committed to the quest, but it called to me. I had watched numerous videos on YouTube as well as masterclasses. It was just the beginning, and now I am hooked and inspired. Because of Be Extraordinary, I will always remember the COVID-19 emergence as only a positive time for me. I never stressed about toilet paper or food. I didn’t obsess over the economy.
I tapped into my intuition to go where I needed to go and do the work of living. I stayed calm because Mindvalley gave me new tools and new ways of seeing my world amidst constant flux. While I’ve been doing some deep work for some time and have had many insights to advance me, I will see 2020 as the year of my transformation. My rebirth. It’s incredibly powerful and emotional, and I can only thank some weird divine power for bringing Mindvalley into my world and consciousness. And that somehow I was ready to take on even more. I write this with teary eyes and gratitude and blissipline and relief and excitement about my future. Having a new manifesto for my life and envisioning a new path is like having a blood transfusion, giving me the oxygen molecules to breathe…more deeply. It’s like having my heart defibrillated, stopping the quivering and vacillating and resetting the rhythm for my life. It’s like having a good facial, shedding away layers of dead skin cells and revealing the true colors (and wrinkles). It’s like having cataract surgery, allowing for clarity of vision. It’s like having a good bowel movement, allowing for evacuation of bullshit. OK, I probably could have skipped that last one, but I’m a nurse practitioner, and we are obsessed with, among other things, pee and poop. ;)
A week after Be Extraordinary started, I joined Lisa Nichols’ Speak and Inspire. THEN I joined Quest Full-Access (join right away – it is worth every penny if you want to build an extraordinary life!). I since then I have done the work in multiple quests and Masterclasses (Sleep Mastery, Breaking Up with Sugar, 6-Phase Meditation, M Word, Keys to Transformational Learning, 10X, Speak and Inspire, Rapid Transformational Therapy for Abundance, Energy Medicine, as well as Evercoach, Soulvana, and the many masterclasses) and am continuing to do so (next week I start with Robin Sharma…), and they have all changed some aspects of my life.
But more importantly, they have changed all of me. My new identity. My new perspective. My re-found voice. My enlivened, reignited soul. My enlightened mind. My unfuckwithability. My up-leveled almost 54-year-old body. My new being in the world. My merging process. My new coaching adventure. Lord, at this age, who the hell has the guts to do the 3MIQ and get a little unrealistic when Vishen challenges us to envision some bigger goals? This is what Be Extraordinary did. It pulled out of me (again) the nomad who fell asleep for a bit….ok, a few years. I can see now how I can truly create my life, bend my reality, connect with a tribe of like-minded people, become more Buddha and Bada$$, disown the brules unapologetically and stay unfuc*withable, design my own disruptions and see people paying attention, formulate a blueprint that will allow my acorn to be expressed in a powerful oak, and realize dreams that I didn’t think could come true. Be Extraordinary gives you so many tools that you can implement to up-level your place and space in the world. I have exponentially increased my income (512% according to some math wizard website) compared to this quarter last year, and while that’s a lag indicator, it’s evidence that the lead indicators that we learn to implement actually lead to changes and gains in ALL domains of life…when we dive into the work. I’m a better, more impactful, conscious, grounded, connected nurse practitioner and human being with my patients, soldiers, and loved ones, and I feel that I am in true excellence when I am in coaching mode with my clients. I’m mentally, spiritually, and physically healthy and solid. The results can be externally visible, but I think they are first invisible and felt, and ultimately LIVED OUT. I feel that anything is possible, and I don’t hold on to fear when I see it challenging me. I know that this has changed me forever. A new normal…for now…with more coming (this is the exciting part). This is NOT the knowledge I ever learned in years of formal “education.” But this is what we all need to be learning to be stellar, extraordinary, evolving human beings as we embark on our mission in life. And no, you’re never too old to have a fantastic new mission.
Thank you, Vishen, for building a platform with a “Vision” of life that matters. To each of us individually, and to our collective consciousness. PS: Not too big on math so I had to go to a website to do the work for me…see the screenshot I took of the calculation of increase of 512% in my income from the current quarter compared to the same quarter last year. Thanks to cookies, Vishen showed up on the website. The universe (or the web) is pretty fun. Keep rockin'. And bloom when you're ready.
