This is a big deal for me because since October 2005 I have been recovering from a spine injury that has meant I have been unable to walk for more than a few minutes or stand. I am doing this in memory of my beautiful friend Zoe who died of breast cancer and who always asked me to run with her at these types of events, and I never did. I am also doing this because I have a limiting belief that says "I don’t do running!". So heading towards 40 and recovering from an injury is about the best time to prove that wrong!!!
Please, please sponsor me and watch out for update posts…. am off to ride my exercise bike now!!!
Discovering Greatness
I recently went through an amazing 2 hour process called the N-Code™ that brought to my concious awareness something I have been doing my whole life.
Discovering Greatness
I not only discover greatness in others, but it is imperative that greatness is discovered in me by others and the biggest revelation throughout the whole process is I had not allowed the second part of this equation to take place.
So I had been giving without accepting – which of course always causes an imbalance.
I have made up for it in the last week though! And spent all weekend with a group of people who spent time discovery my greatness and acknowledging it. It actually felt quite great!
So I was asked to write a short piece about what having my N-Code™ means to be and this is what I came up with.
What the N-Code™ Means to Me
Discovering greatness
A chance to shine and develop myself and others
The opportunity to focus on a particular trait in my coaching
A revelation of what was before and what will be
The discovery of an energy that empowers
A creative journey into all it can mean
The opportunity to play small and hide
A chance to avoid and eat!
Another label like any other
A connection to something higher
A lifetime contribution acknowledged
A greatness that inspires
An amazing 4 minutes
This clip is only 4 minutes long but quite inspirational

Our Deepest Fear
by Marianne Williamson
from A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles (see my favourite books)
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

The Power of Positive Feelings
You feel powerful and strong. You feel an energy inside you that says "I am here to do something great!" You feel yourself walk into any situation, confident and at peace. You feel successful. Ah, how good it feels! Have you ever noticed that we ask each other, "How are you feeling today?" I have never met anyone who asked me, "How are you thinking today John?" Why is this? Perhaps it is because how we feel is how we live. If I feel miserable, my life reflects that misery. If I feel confident, then I act confident and I attract into my life that which I desire because I feel I deserve it. In every moment, you and I feel something. And these feelings we have shape our destiny. Notice I write "these feelings we have". Feelings do not have us; we have feelings. Most personal development focuses on thinking. Change your thinking and you change your life. I agree, but thinking arises from feeling. If I am holding tension in my body, if I feel tense, then my thinking is shaped by tension. And I react accordingly. That tension is the result of accumulated thoughts and feelings. And the more thoughts that accumulate, the greater the tension (also known as stress) until ultimately I make myself ill; both physically and mentally. Positive thinking is a great idea, but it has limitations, does it not? Can you tell me what your next thought will be? Not without thinking about it! And by the time you have come up with an answer your mind has already moved on to something else. Plus all thoughts are found in the past. One cannot think in this moment. One can only experience this moment and it is this moment and the succession of this moment that make your life. Right now, plus right now, plus right now, equal your life and the results you create. To make a change in how you experience and what you do with "right now" you must act on the feeling level to make true changes. And by changing how you feel right now, you change your destiny. We all know of this power. It is a power we are born with that becomes discarded when we are told to stop feeling and start thinking. All limitations exist only in our thinking, yet that is exactly what everyone is telling us to do! Get an education and learn your limits! If you have ever watched a young child develop, you will notice how they do not accept "no" for an answer. Failure does not stop us until we learn that failure means something bad. We then spend the rest of our life trying to reprogram our mind with clichés about how failure is the foundation of success, but do we really believe it? As children we fall, we hurt, we let the feeling go and we take off running again. As adults we fall, we hurt, and we tell stories about it for the rest of our life to anyone who will listen! If you want to achieve a breakthrough in any area of your life, stop trying to reprogram your mind and notice how you feel. When you set a goal, notice the feelings that arise for you. Fear? Anxiety? Doubt? They are nothing more than feelings; electro-chemical impulses. The good news? You can learn to let these feelings go and when you do, your potential has new life and it expands beyond the limits of thought. You feel a new energy when you realize all that prevents you from having all that you desire are these feelings which you have chosen to hold on to because you think, yes you think, they serve you in some way. No analyzing is necessary, nor programming or re-programming, nor words; just feelings. Powerful feelings.
