Default Thank You, Steve and David

Steve,

I just wanted to thank you both for that marvelous interview. Your questions were substantive (I was going to write 'meaty', but decided not to ), and David's answers were clear and complete. Well done!

Mike

Thanks Steve and David. I really appreciated these two parts:

The "everyone is a public speaker" part, implying that therefore no one should ever be scared of speaking to anyone, anytime, anywhere, and that every conversation literally is training grounds for better "public speaking".

The second part I really liked and related to was where he said you can learn from anyone. As my consciousness grows, I am finding that everyone I come into contact with is teaching me something. Even when I ignore looking at certain people, say on a crowded bus, I develop my ability for selective ignorance which indirectly helps my ability to only check email at 12:00 and 4:00 each day and not reading the news or watching TV (learnt from the 4 Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferris, which is a great book I recommend to anyone with an abundance mindset and an strong, passionate intent to grow). It complements Steve's articles, which deals with polarity, energy and LOA as what to do when you have that... quoting from one of Steve's articles on Polarity:

"That intensity of focus is perhaps what most distinguishes someone who has polarized. When you set a goal that aligns with your polarity, you’ll know — not hope – it will be accomplished. Doing replaces trying."

If you haven't got it (the book) and have this focus get it and help speed up the process of completely removing your lightworker syndrome ASAP.

That was a nice read and great advice!

I especially enjoyed when David said,

"Except for those who have a physical limitation that prevents the power of speech, everyone is a public speaker."

It made me think of an article I just read on a renowned blind international speaker named CRAIG MacFARLANE. He's got an inspiring story and great message. Check him out at Craig MacFarlane - Inner Vision.

Enjoy,
