Many of you asked about my experience at Making Things Happen last week and I’ve dodged giving an answer simply because I haven’t had a chance to digest everything. However, over the past couple of days I started to see things clearer.
MTH2011 was an AMAZING experience. You are instantly connected with a room full of strangers. I have never cried and shared so much in my entire life and it felt so fulfilling. My heart is swelling with the love, power and FIRE this room of people had. It’s not a conference. It’s not a workshop. It’s an intensive that you can’t describe in words, you have to experience it for yourself. Lara Casey pours her heart and soul into each intensive that only makes you dig deep into your self. She doesn’t give you answers on how to be a better person or how you will be instantly successful but rather she gives you tools to MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. Amazing, amazing tools. I walked into the day with no expectations and left a changed person.
After 2 days of what felt like a fog clearing from my head I started to visualize my dreams and goals. I saw where Perideau Designs was going. It’s the very first time I stopped and asked myself why. Lara, Gina and Natalie did this…they put a brick wall in front of me to keep me from moving forward without answering that one fearful question…why? Why are you re-doing this? Why are you changing this? And when I finally stopped to answer those questions head on, the wall crumbled and my dreams and future laid ahead. I can see clearly me sitting in my gorgeous new office with my daughter by my side doodling. I see my products in many retail stores world-wide both in brick and mortar and online.
I see myself happy and successful.
Reaching my big dream requires conquering mini goals along the way. I need to achieve these goals, celebrate my success and continue to my dream. It’s important to not have tunnel vision and only see the dream but enjoy the journey – with every bump and curve in the road. Each hurdle was put there for a reason. No one is preventing me from achieving my dreams rather they are pushing me along and now I can say thank you.
You know who you are.
