Note: This post is longer, more detailed, more honest, more raw, more powerful, and more necessary than anything I`ve ever posted. It is me baring my soul, and it may not be your thing. If you prefer your communication to be stale and professional, skip this. If emotional, emphasized, bolded, honest expression is not for you, skip it. If you want to know the real me, read on.

There’s a lot of buzz going around about ’being authentic’, ’being vulnerable’, and ’putting personality into your writing’.

Consider this post me throwing my hat into the ring, buckle your seat-belts,’cause I expect this to cause a few ripples.

Why?

Because I’m telling you to draw a line in the sand with your family, friends, and clients.

I have some news for you… There is only one requirement for success. Yep, just one… but it is a big one, and it plays a part in every aspect of life. Because of this wide-spread role, it has consequences EVERYWHERE. It will bring you lots of everything you wanted. It will also get rid of some things you’re attached to, that aren’t helping. Conversations, interactions, friends, family, jobs, clients, relationships… everything. If you step up to this one requirement for success, it will show up everywhere. Prepare yourself.

To Anyone Who’s Ever Given Me A Hard Time (About Anything!)

I always aim to express the real me. I aim to be all those cliches: true to myself, the real me, give my heart… all of it. I do this with good reason, it is the key to success, which I’m all about. On that note, here is a message I wrote (and made pretty) to everyone who expected the best from me, but weren’t ready or even aiming to offer the same in return. I understand. I caused it, I created it, and I’m cool with it. Thank you for making me stronger. I don’t even know if they read SpiritSentient, but they’re out there. You know who you are.

Transforming Destructive Relationships – It’s Improv

So, I can change people by believing in them, right?

We-ell, yes and no.

This is one of life’s most misunderstood behaviours. There’s one view which says ‘people don’t change’, and there’s another view that says anyone can change, at any moment. So how do we sort out all these conflicting views?

Changing With Others

The way it works is that you change yourself, whenever you’re ready, and then all the people swirling around you have an opportunity to roll with that change, or hate on it. It’s kind of like improv.

In improv, the rule is "yes-and" (and not "no-but"), you affirm and add to whatever the other person is offering. So if we take two people building an improv sketch about meeting at a bus stop, it might look something like this:

How To Lift Off From Friends – It’s Not That Scary

Posted by Jason Fonceca on Oct 4, 2011 in Abundance, Artists, Community, Fans & Tribes, Influence, Life Coaching, Relationships, Self-Improvement, Success | 0 comments

Letting people go. Cutting ties. Moving on. Abandoning them. Oh… it all sounds so horrible, doesn’t it? It’s not. It’s really not. It’s more like ‘blasting off’ and making sure you don’t force a car off the road while you do it.
