What I am about to say has nothing to do with what you may have associated with the title of this thread. I am continuing to work with the ES course and many of the other success and self-improvement stuff we've been discussing on this forum.
I have decided for one week to abstain from using my computer for anything other than communication (emails and this forum), genuine research (following my curiosity), and work (what I get paid to do). To give you an example, I don't watch TV but I have been an avid and somewhat compulsive sports fan. I particular am prone to following basketball and cycling. Now that Le Tour de France has ended, I want to find out what happens if I stop seeking entertainment via the internet.
I am not sure why I was moved to post this on the forum, but as I contemplated what to title the thread, the words "giving up" came to me straight away. "Giving up" has a bad connotation for most English speakers, but the way I am thinking of it is to give up, as in release, surrender to God (I'm thinking of Margaret Ida's "Heavenly Father".
As many of you may have gathered from reading my previous posts, I am quite fond of questions. I generally find good questions to be far more useful in my own process than assertions about the way things are, how things work, how to do something, etc.
So, the question that is occurring to me right now is this: "What am I willing to give up to be successful?" I've already gotten my first answer - no habit based internet entertainment this week. I wonder what will happen if I keep this question in mind as I continue working with the Law of Attraction?
My invitation to all of you is to ask yourself this question: "What am I willing to give up to be successful (achieve my goals, get what I want)?", post your answer, commit to following through with it, and then report back to us with what you are noticing as you move forward with that commitment.
I commit to doing this and reporting back next week. Any other takers?
