Going for it!!

Wow, so much has happened in such a short amount of time. I have taken on so many great things. I am in full training mode for my 1/2 ironman May6th and went from setting a $4k goal to shifting my mindset to thinking bigger and am now committed to raising $10k! I am almost 1/2 way there too! So your assistance would be GREATLY appreciated. www.turiansky.com follow the link at the bottom. I am also focused on getting inducted into a senior leadership role within my company and have a specific goal that I am headed towards over the next 3 weeks and am totally committed to getting there. I am taking on something called The Game, which was started by Sarano Kelley. www.saranokelley.com. Its basically a 90 day 'game' that you 'play' with a team of people. You set specific, very high goals for yourself in all areas of your life, and with the assistance of your coach and your team, you set out to achieve them, all within 90 days. It doesn't start for a couple of weeks but I've been thinking about what I want to achieve and accomplish for myself. I have financial goals, business goals, relationship goals, and physical endurance goals that I will look to clarify, set, and achieve and take my life to such a high level of performance, even beyond what I am already accomplishing.

On a different note, I learned something significant for me this past weekend. One of my best friends came to visit me from Arizona for a couple of days and brought a couple of friends along, all girls. One of them was someone who I just wasn't clicking with, had little patience for, and was allowing myself to get easily annoyed by. My intolerance grew to a point that I started getting a little mean, being very curt in my attitude towards her and was generally acting like an ass to her. I went to bed and thought about why I had acted in the manner I did. I also thought about what I had created as my possibilities in life, which was love, acceptance, and inspiration. Without the first two, I was certainly not being very inspiring. When I woke up in the morning, and choosing what kind of day I was going to have(something I do every morning nowadays...its fun...every day I choose consciously to have an amazing day, I get excited, pumped up and ready to take on my life with exhilaration) and realized that if I were going to be a stand for my possibilities, then I had to apologize for my actions the day before. So I made breakfast for the two of us, and we sat and talked for an hour. I started out by apologizing for the way I had treated her. She said it was ok, but I told her it wasn't. And I was very open with her. I told her the reasons why I acted how I did, I shared with her MY possibilities and that my actions were not alligning with my goals, and through my openness, love and acceptance of her, I inspired her to open up, to let down her guard, and we were able to have an amazing, authentic and beautiful conversation. I really am learning that everything I do, there is a lesson in it for me. Its my choice to find it or not.

Well its time for bed. A hard 1 hr run this morning and a hard 1 hr swim tonight. This body requires some rest.
