When doing any kind of exercises, taking it seriously with consistency, devotion and focus, one cannot not change. Many time before I started the process, you know going down the rabbit hole? And somewhere along the way just could not find the motivation to carry on and stopped right there find the first way out and then find excuses for not carrying on.
The week end before the first day of the 50 days challenge I met with myself and had a discussion, Decided that no matter what I was going to finish that one, mind you I entered the rabbit hole a while back and made the same decision. Committing was the very important step, so I started with getting up one hour earlier to read and post on today's note, as we progressed I found it easier and easier to get up actually after a week I noticed that I was awake before the alarm, most days, and not only that I was happy, in a good mood about it all. Whoa!!! Everyday welcoming the day to it's gorgeous promises. Right now I could write a book on what happen during the 50 days.
Some of the best read for me are the Stoics, rediscovered them after more than 40 years the impact today is much more powerful than 40 years ago, I love Marcus Aurelius. Next The dark side of the light chaser, for while now I am working at making contact with the "darkness" as Carl Yung named it, mainly to find the goal. Debbie Ford gave me the tool and the motivation to really discover the beauty within working with the shadow.
Next Dan Millman Threshold of the mind the notes are great and I need to read the book to really extract the values present so that's on my next reading.
Like I said earlier I could write a book about what is happening inside. I found balance, peace and comfort in knowing that everything I have done in my life is not a waste but a succession of "moments" important in my development and growth, even some of the worst mistake. Discovering "ME" fully, accepting "ME" totally two of the major changes.
The experience was so powerful that I decided now to go through all 100 notes once a day and posting my thoughts on my blog everyday. Now the progress is going quantum I am looking forward to the next 94 days.
One more thing, the friendship that developed during the 50 days are, for me an integral part of the process and I love it.

Hi Maxine
Thank you so much for your support. This story was so long ago, and sometimes it's seems like yesterday. I have lived well so far, I worked hard and play hard too, I was confused at time and had great bouts of inspiration, I raced long and hard and I take time to smell the wild flower and play with the bears. Now I want something a little different, these 50 day and the posts and comments have help me a great deal finding what next is going to be.
Thank you Maxine I have a place in my heart for you.
