The former goof-off responds (briefly)....

Hi Amber!

I just realized I forgot to answer something....

You asked whether Gordon's materials had helped me....

The answer is... YES!

Mostly what has helped me recently is Gordon's POA -- the Pyramid of Accomplishment. Here's one of Gordon's posts about it....

Especially the OBSTACLES (exits) on the path.... When I've been blocked, I could look at the POA and see if I can recognize an obstacle....

It REALLY helps with getting past those obstacles, I think....

In my case, I think I've been more-or-less clear what I've wanted to achieve.... But if you're not really clear on that, Gordon's stuff can really help too....

Then, when you're on the path, you WILL encounter obstacles, and Gordon's POA helps you to get over them....

I've also found that the whole SQ1 Workshops helps you to put your complete life in perspective....

So that is a valuable tool too....

Here's one thing I've done in the past. Some people might find it morbid....

I KNOW one day I will die. I've imagined that I'm lying on my death bed, reflecting on my life....

WHAT is it that I want to think at that moment?

That's partly how I help to clarify what I would like to do with my life....

I want to feel satisfied when I am about to take that last breath on my death-bed....

Like I said, some will find this morbid.... But I prefer to admit the inevitable, and I think this has helped me to live a more fulfilled life....

Thanks again Amber for asking about these issues.... :)
