Isn’t that the word medics shout as they try to revive a patient? And it’s the same word we should shout as we go through life. Success for most of us is more of a subtraction process than it is an additive process. Sadly, we go to seminars, books, friends , etc., for the answers to our most pressing concerns. The truth is that we already have what we need inside of us. The larger goal of education it to help us uncover our gifts. It’s not the new education we covet that would help us most — it’s a better use of the gifts we have.
A dear friend of mine in Atlanta is truly gifted. Intelligent, personable, attractive and did I mention intelligent … I just had to say it again because she’s super smart. Care to guess what holds her back? You guessed it … she can’t seem to “clear” her past behaviors. And those behaviors don’t work in this new economy. Want to know what’s really odd? She is the one who introduced me to the concept of “clearing”! So here’s point of this entry … we really must clear our past negative behaviors in order to reach our true potential.
There’s an old saying in the South that I never hear in California. It starts with, “What is the nutritional value of a grit?” The answer, zero, grits have no nutritional value, grits are only fillers. Along the same lines, old ineffective behaviors have no value … Clear!
