After reading Charli’s blog post about having to sit still for 15 minutes. I’ve been thinking about my experience this past following week of my practice of sitting for that long. I have to admit it is a very challenging task. Not to mention this past following week I came down with the flu, so I have been coughing quite often, making this exercise even somewhat more harder to accomplish.

Now I pretty much gotten over my flu thankfully, and I do see an improvement with myself of sitting still for 15 minutes in silence. But now here in week 2, not only I have to sit in silence in the same room, chair, etc. But I have to silence my thinking? I’m thinking, “Oh boy this is going to be something to master!” Then I stop to think, “How much you want to bet that’s the old blueprint talking to you right now?”. Everyone knows that blueprint will be getting you often, especially this early in this coarse.

These last few days of practicing sitting in silence, makes me think of the scene in 3D Animated movie “Over The Hedge”, when RJ wants Hammy to be a “Crazy Rabid Squirrel”. That’s how I describe my thinking, when I am tempting to silence my thinking, my thoughts bounces over the place like a Little Crazy Squirrel on caffeine. Imagining that, it is pretty hard to hold that little jittery critter still for 15 minutes. So far I have manage to silence my thoughts for about 5 sec or so. This is definitely an exercise that is easier said then done, which I’m sure I’m not the only one that thinks this way, but I’m sure by continuing practicing will improve my thinking.

Hope this weeks blog post is valuable to you with your journey with MKMMA, I’m looking forward whats to come next week, and Aloha.

Hello Everyone!

 

I’m am as excited as I am nervous to be here in the MKMMA Course. If you aren’t familiar with MKMMA, its short for “Master Key Mastermind Alliance” a Life-Changing 26 week class for people that give a 1 hour of their time each day for self discovery and self improvement. Only selected recipients that register to the Pay-It-Forward Scholarship can participate in this course. The next time it will be offered will be in September 2015.

 

This is the first week of the 2014 class. One of the first “Tangible Requirement Assignments” (an assignment that has to be submitted and verified), you must write an DMP. DMP is known as your “Definite Major Purpose”, or sometimes known as “Dharma” which means ” A life lived on purpose, with purpose is a life ‘of purpose’”

 

When I was working on my DMP I had a epiphany. I was worrying that I wasn’t doing it correctly right from the get go. As pointed out in last Sundays webinar, it was intended to be a rough, rough draft of my DMP. The thing was, when I started working on it, all I could think about was how I wanted it to be perfect to everyone that reads it.

 

It feels like being on a stage in front of an live audience. There is NO where to hide. There’s this small voice in the back my head, “What you write must be perfect NOW, or you’re going to look bad in front of everybody”.

 

That’s where I caught myself, telling myself this negative self talk about what I look like in the public’s eye. I know I should NOT be stressing about what everyone is thinking about my DMP. It should be what makes ME think and feel. The DMP is something that needs to be worked on overtime, not a Pop-In-The-Middle-Of-No-Where perfect statement of what I want out of life. If you’re still working on your DMP, just remember that you have to submit it in while working on it. Don’t be getting bent out of shape that it’s not “picture perfect”. There is support available to polish it until its worded in a perfect way that is right for you. Like Mark stated in the webinar, we will improve our DMP in the following weeks.

I would like to end this blog post by sharing my “rough rough draft” DMP, it’s pretty darn short compared to some of yours out there I could imagine, but remember everybody’s DMP always differ “I am making more than $5,000 easily and consistently every month by sharing my favorite things and knowledge with others.”

Thank You everyone that took the time to read me first post on my MKMMA Blog. Aloha, Ciao, Comtraya, or what every way you prefer to say Good Bye.
