...If I Knew I Would Succeed... This entry was posted on 10/6/2007 7:59 AM and is filed under uncategorized. Last night Bertha visited my As the Pen Spins writing class...she usually goes shopping or has her nails done while I'm teaching...but last night...she dropped in. While she was there she challenged the group to journal on this question for the week...
"What would I do today if I knew I would succeed?"
Now...they of course were supposed to answer this question in relation to their writing...but I tried it this morning in relation to several areas of my life...and it was extremely powerful.
How would I eat today if I knew that I would successfully reach my ideal weight? Would I stop for that ice cream cone that calls me like a Siren every time I pass Dairy Queen...or would I confidently put in my ear plugs (left over from the Bertha story The Killing...curious...then you'd better order the book! LOL!) and drive on by?
What would I do in my business if I knew it would be successful? Would I be calling folks and e-mailing folks about speaking engagements and book signings or would I play another game of Super Collapse! 3?
What would I do in my writing...if I knew that Putting Your Best Foot Forward: Bertha's Guide to Life and Shoes would be a best seller...would I continue to put off doing the final edits...or would I be writing like my pants were on fire...(I don't actually know how that fits...but I said it...so it must...LOL!) I think I'd be writing...don't you?
So today...Bertha's asking you to spend some time journaling the question...
"What would I do today if I knew I would succeed?"
And then she's reminding you...that you can't succeed...if you don't do it...so the challenge is to step out there...
I'd let you know how my journaling turned out...but I've got to find those ear plugs before I drive by Dairy Queen! Have a great week!
