ShareMyHeart - Climbing My Mountain

As usually happens in my life, I needed help this past week...and I got it. 

I was stuck.  My mind was filled with fear and froze up.  After doing everything I knew to make ShareMyHeart.com financially successful during Valentine's Day, I had failed.  Yes, I did a lot of things right, my return on investment for marketing was much better than it had ever been and the fulfillment process went smoothly BUT I STILL LOST MONEY.  I could not keep going this way.  I was bleeding to death...

My Fear Stuff went nuts!  Jeez!  Am I crazy?  I have been working at this business for months and am not even close to making money yet...I felt like I was staring at a huge wall and had no idea how to get past it.

So I prayed...alot.  Asked for help, and kept going in Faith that I was going to find help along the way.  It came in the form of books...books about climbing mountains...climbing personal mountains.

I read Todd Skinners "Beyond The Summit" and Ed Vestiurs "No Shorcuts To The Top."  For the past week these two guys and their stories have been my mentors.  They helped me see a way to the top of My Mountain.

I am clear that the mountain I am climbing right now is My Money Mountain, and at this point in my life I must get to the Summit of My Money Mountain so that I can fully live the Dream I came here to be...to inspire millions to share their hearts and live their dreams.  It's not about dollars, it's about building a belief inside me that I deserve love and that the more love I let into my life, the more love I have to give.  There's a lot more of course, but for now that's enough. 

I am climbing My Money Mountain right now.  I am clear I will get to the Summit, and that in the process of doing this I will make myself stronger to then climb my next Mountain...and then the next...

What mountain are you climbing right now?  Do you wish you had a guide?  A partner? 

Write me if I can help...it's why I'm here...

Choose Love...and Leap...

Failure to Communicate

I recently fell in love with a woman from another country.  We had shared time together in the States and when I traveled back to her world we spent more time together.  We had similar interests, complimentary personalities, and thoroughly enjoyed being with each other.  There was only one real challenge.

We didn't speak the same language. 

Her world was Spanish.  My world was English.  After several months of studying Spanish and doing the best I could with dictionaries, hand signals, and helpful friends we seemed to be doing fairly well...until we hit the wall.  We created a situation where nothing but simple, honest, heart-to-heart communication would work.  And we were unable to do that. 

Now I could make up excuses about how the problem was that we didn't speak the same language, but in truth it was much deeper than that, much more than words alone...

We didn't share our hearts. Fear got in the way and shut communcation down. 

I am very saddened by this experience, and am struggling to learn from it.  For the moment all I can say is that Failure to Communicate is most likely not a word problem...it is a heart problem.

If we truly love someone from the depths of our heart we WILL find a way to communicate, no matter what it takes.

Are you pretending that the communication failures in your life are word problems?  Need help with this?  Write me...

Choose Love...and Leap...
