I have a great story for you about accountability. During a recent Greatness Nation TeleCall, I stated, I will get rid of 100 books from my library. Why would I want to do this? The Give Get Get Give law. Nature abhors a vacuum. When I GIVE away my books It opens a space for me to receive. Give Get, Get Give: Get it? I have already read these books and remember the jist of most. I dont need them on the shelves because that is where they have been for 99% of the 33 years that I have accumulated them. My Mentor told me to get rid of all but a few prized publications. That was 18 months ago. Why not do it now? Making the public statement of accountability was hard and a stretch for me but I did it. Little did I know that that was not the hard part? Actually taking the books off the shelf was even harder. These books have become my friends, my security blanket and I was holding on to my past. I didnt want to part with them. I would pick one up and put it back. This was not easy until a realized that reward. Look at the reward not the process. Isnt this what we do to ourselves everyday? We hold on to our past by keeping situations, Material things and even friends in our life That we should of let go of years ago. They become ANCHORS keeping us firmly in the Place that we need to leave in order to reach the next Plateau in our lives. Every level that you achieve requires a new you. That may be financial, physical, spiritual and mental. Get rid of the old ways, whatever they are; Books, possessions, bad memories, negative experiences, un-supporting friends and only you know who and what they are. Get Them GO. So I got rid of 101 books last week with another 100 this week. That only leaves 2,799 to go. Get your day started right, be accountable. When your day starts right your evening will be AWESOME. |
