So it time to talk about what’s been going on.
As you may, or may not know, I’m engaged in developing my Inner Facilitator. Last August I started a Personal Development Facilitation course which is about 2 years long. This course consists of 4 one week intensives plus 4 practicums. I did my first intensive last August/September and my first practicum wrapped up this past February. I have recently completed my second week intensive of my Facilitator training program and I have begun my second practicum. So the question I’m sure that is burning in all of your mind’s is, “Jevon, what has this done for you?”
When I was looking into this training I needed to get support from the company I work for to be able to do this. The tuition is $10,000.00 alone, plus the time off of work to go away for a week intensive without it being ‘my vacation’ time. So I put together a proposal and pitched it as ‘leadership training’. This was not a lie. I knew that focusing on this training would strengthen my leadership skills and foster my abilities to work with others to achieve common goals. One of the first results of this training has been me engaging at work in a far more active, rather than passive, capacity. I could no longer just do my job, but rather had the desire to co-create my reality in the office and take on responsibilities. This resulted in a promotion with raise for me.
Now what makes a promotion and raise so important. First off, it’s not just about the money. The pay increase is nice and I am grateful for it, but money alone will only make someone work just hard enough to not get fired. So again I hear you ask, “Jevon, what is it about a promotion and raise that is so important?” My answer, the promotion and raise are symbolic. These are easy for me, and us as humans, to see. I see that I have more responsibility and more authority, I see my paycheck is larger. It is very easy to see these items. I have been given more authority and responsibility because I am more of a leader and I choose to lead. However a raise and promotion are just the tip of the ice berg here. My marriage has be come far more rewarding and far deeper than I had ever believed possible. My health is improving, partly because I see that I need to take better care of my self, and with the shifting of some believes now engage fully in that area. Honestly, I would be hard pressed to think of an area in my life where I have not seen growth and change over the past 6 months.
I recognize that all the areas of my life where I see change are a result of the “Law of Attraction”. There are many, many books and movies on the subject of the Law of Attraction, but the simplest and easiest to understand that I have found is called Law of Attraction: The Science of Attracting More of What You Want and Less of What You Don’t by Michael J. Losier. You may have already heard of this, but simply put the Law of Attraction states that the universe is interested in what you are interested in. What ever you put your energy into you will get more of. So if I focus my energy on my lack of money, or on how much debt I have i will attract more debt and more lack of money, but If I focus on what I do have, how abundant I am then I will attract more of that.
So to tie this together. Since I’m focusing on leadership training, developing the skills and tools to assist me in being a facilitator, and I’m consciously working toward being a co-creator in my world that is what I’m attracting more of and the Promotion, the raise, my marriage, and my improved health are ‘visible evidence’ of me moving in that direction. Visible evidence is what keeps us going on a path that can be challenging.
“So what’s next for you Jevon?“ comes wafting on the breeze like the scent of a pie baking?
Well right now I’m in my second practicum and I need to complete a minimum of twenty more one-on-one sessions. I’m looking for individuals who would like to come and talk with me for one or more 1 hour sessions. If you, or any one you know, would be interested in changing up your life, I would be honored if you joined me on my journey.
Also for this practicum I will be giving and introductory session. I will be posting details as I get this set up and organized. If you would be interested in receiving e-mail updates directly on this please let me know.
Walk in peace,
Jevon, In-service
