On the Path to Becoming Indispensible

I am on my second listening to “Linchpin: Are You Indispensible” by Seth Godin. I started reading the ebook but could not find enough time to sit still to read it. So, I bought the audio version too. Money well spent. Because I finished! And am doing it all over again because there is more to learn. I am changed by my first listening. I expect to be changed even more and further along my own path to becoming a Linchpin. I am processing it and practicing living it and then falling back into fear then getting up and trying again. And I am loving it. Partly because I am loathing the status quo.

My main goals:

  • social good: to be a better member of society and an amazing mother and guide for my son.
  • enjoy rewarding work (this will actually feel like a gift!)

Being a Linchpin is challenging. But, the alternative is painful. I hate being what you may call a cog. I want to feel great about who I am and what I do. I want to tell the truth, point out new ways to go, and most importantly really enjoy my time, my life-time.

I wish someone could make it easy and tell me what to do. But that’s how I have been trained. Now, its time for me to try out new things, gain and follow my insights, learn from the process and to give gifts.

Does this sound like babble? If so, I either need to learn to explain myself better or, I guess you have to read the book. And, you get to make out of it what you want to. Anyone can do it. The only thing holding you back is that you have to choose to do it.

So, today, I have hidden behind avoidance of the work I want to, need to accomplish by:

  1. listening to the audio book longer than I felt was appropriate for me today.
  2. cleaning my house
  3. writing this blog post, even

Now, its time to get to work. I am about to change lives. Most importantly, my own. I hope to see you out there.

GO. Make something happen.  ~Seth Godin

Human, Feel Good

Diet.
Is it a bad word?
It is if you want it to be. It doesn’t matter what you call the way you eat. Other people’s opinions matter not. How you eat is a choice you make based on desire, needs, etc.

I prefer to concentrate on focusing on what makes me feel good. If I feel good it seems like everything else just falls into place. I know, that’s easily said, but truly, if you just eat the food and do the things that feel good then life IS good. Don’t believe me? Ok, then go ahead, prove me wrong. I dare you.

I know I have spent a lot of time proving this theory wrong. And, as a result, I have spent a lot of time feeling crappy and having low energy. So, I just started surrendering and being (more) honest about the way I feel. I have started saying yes to things I used to think were not for me or were too much trouble or cost too much money. That was all a bunch of horse sh!t. I now feel better. – Yes, there are bad days too. But those bad days are easier to get through and to learn from as I eat better and feel better. And, regarding the monetary matter, I find the return on the money I spend on better food to be lucrative.

When you are ready to, you can try something that works for you.

Just say yes.

Need some support?
I’m here. And in one of my next blog posts I will cover the topic: “Support Systems & Inspirations.”
Lot’s of people are out there just waiting to be a part of your support network. It helps if you don’t worry and you just speak and act from a place of humanity. Because, that’s what you are after all: human.

Its easy to say from my vantage point of all my life experience and in the calm and grounded mood that I am in now. But, feeling like a crazy person at times, I am here as living proof that you can do it.
