Happy as A Camel on Hump Day
Today at work a facilitator called in sick today (no I'm not happpy about that). I hope that person feels better and makes it back soon.
I was having lunch with some old co-workers in the old building I use to work at and my old boss came in asking for a volunteer to stay and do the night group. I have not done a group in a little over a month and have not done a night group in well over 6-months.
I know you don't give a crap about any of that but it leads up to why I'm happy.
The topic of the group was "Motivation" and I've been on a roll of that lately thanks to WA.
When I do groups I'm pretty freaking passionate about all the subjects I do and tonight was no different.
Since I cannot promote WA in classes I did get these individuals thinking about there futures and what they are going to do for the rest of their lives.
I talked about them thinking back to a time when things had been simpler for them and what it was they had been or might be learning to be passionate about "what do you LOVE" and I explained to them in so many words that it can still be accomplished if they put their minds to it.
I talked about letting go of the FEAR's they may have and getting out of their Comfort Zones.
I was throwing tennis balls back and forth as I walked up and down the room and throwing my markers at them to go up and write what they want to achieve in life, we got so into it the group ended up going half hour over the end time as most my groups did in the past.
I found my answer to my dilema at the same time and that's to continue my current job until my higher power say's otherwise.

It sounds like you had some fun with this topic and that is an awesome thing because you got the passion for just about anything.
I hope that this group got some passion for something. And it probably gave you some ideas as well for topics too. That's what it sounds like to me and that is great.

I'm always getting ideas from these men when I finally start to make some cash and send my mom & dad on the trip my mom wants next thing will be donating 2% of whatever I earn back to my (hopefully former employer) to say thank you every year. Non-profits need all the money they can get.
That is great I am so happy for you and your success That is a great idea to that way you are helping out and showing that you are successful at this business.

Great post Jason. I'm glad you came to a decision. I was once one of those person's who lived a life fearing this and that. People kept telling me I would fail at anything I would start. Total rubbish. We only fail if we do not try. Good on you for being inspirational. Wish I had some one like you around when I was younger and needed a good kick up the bum :)
Jason, This is wonderful reading. I’m so happy for you. I was running a video in my mind of you throwing chalk etc and inspiring people to write on your board. You are a very passionate man and connecting others to their passion. Cannot praise you enough. Stay doing it man and continue to help your people to make a difference in the world A big fat WOW! Cheers AJ

The first thing that brought me here was reading your website to make a comment. … That, made me realize there is more to you than I even touched on. So, I came to read your profile. … That made me realize you are really a man of substance. … Then I read the rest of your blogs.
Dude, you have overcome and persevered! And you've also shown that even when one has done that, one still copes with it, each and every day. Then you STILL persevere!! That shows that you are the right person in the position that you're in, to help others overcome their addiction.
Even if you don't get to take your mom to see the northern lights, I am positive she couldn't be prouder of you.
Here's to you! (wanted to insert a fist bump but couldn't figure it out. lol) :)
