After watching a news clip Black Friday morning. What I found was amazing. There were so many people standing in lines to get Christmas presents at a discount. Saving money is a good thing but is that why we do it? I have been there in years past and the pay off was not that great.
Our local news station was reporting on the craziness of Black Friday; long lines and why people do it. They were actually giving away prizes. One news person yelled out, "I have a FREE gift for whoever comes and gets it." NO ONE moved, he had to run over to the line and hand it to someone who was willing to take it. VIDEO
How crazy was that? It was a FREE gift and NO ONE stepped up. How many of us do the same thing when it comes to money? Has your chance come, have you missed that one last opportunity? VIDEO
It's time to take your financial situation in your own hands. Is your mindset so stuck following the masses that you don't move when FREE gifts are offered?
Opportunities are not for everyone. But are opportunities never for you? What that says to me is you don't have enough information. Register to watch the video and let's get your questions answered. Sound fair?

Resistance ...
This past week I have had more resistance than I bargained for. The resistance from my own self limiting beliefs.
I feel like I have been asked to run a race, striving (because of my belief of determination and my competitive belief) for a record time but found myself caught in a fierce wind slowing my pace. It was frustrating and confusing. I knew I was able to set a record pace but was fighting against the wind that kept pushing me back. I was not accepting the wind, accepting the fact that logistically it would slow down my pace. I ended up being exhausted simply because I fought so hard against it (my belief that being tired is a type of failure). IF I would have accepted it, I could have used it to my advantage. Accepted where I was and what I was up against. I could have shifted my perspective and thought of the fierce resistance as training. Only AFTER the race did I find any peace. I missed the mark! The record time was NOT the mark I should have aimed for but it was the step by step journey that was the greatest benefit. NOT where I ended up and how but celebrating that I took it step by step and didn't give up (My new belief of the importance of sharpening the saw - taking care of me gives me greater results with less effort).
Isn't that how life goes? It seems we face resistance everyday. I found that when I recognize I'm going through resistance, I'm good to slow my pace and reflect. Am I going in the right direction? Just because I felt resistance does NOT mean it's the wrong way. Most times it's because it IS the right direction and I'm simply getting out of my comfort zone.
Here's what I want you to do. IF you are feeling resistance, write down how you feel and why you feel that way. It's not a right or wrong answer, just write down your feelings. This will give you a better perspective on what benefit the resistance is there for.
Enjoy your day,
Jody
