In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities,
but in the expert's mind there are few.
--Shunryu Suzuki, Zen master feet
Ask any athlete or elite performer, writer, salesperson, speaker, very big project manager, or wide-awake lover: A track record can dull your senses. Success can make you lazy. Each win has got to be a new win, earned with intense focus and an open heart.
Do not take your expertise for granted. Stay awake. Hunt. Kill your old material. Listen for new information. Tell your old story in a new way. Kiss like it's your first kiss. Crush your gimmicks. Make no assumptions. Let the page be white. Then and only then, begin.

Guy Finley: Step Into True Wholeness
This week..
1. My day. Meaning, drop the routine. Allowing my intuition to perform at peak.
( Let my day be the white page!! Yay! )
2. Sessions with clients. (Hey, Ive been working one-on-one for over 10 years. That's a lot of old
material!) Can I walk up in there and say, "Ok, THIS has never been done before"?
3. My belly! Feel into, deeply, cleanly, what will most nourish and feed my body, instead of going straight for habitual and comforting foods.
X.*!
To share a little more, I have really been envisioning whats before me as a blank canvas, and a sort of voracious creative fire ignites, my Creator, ready to paint by heart, what experience is most delectable + desired inside at a given moment. So, thats why they call you a Fire Starter! You're amazing! You win! Heck, I win! :))) XO
