Success Leaves Clues

Tony Robbins is one of the greatest motivational speakers and personal development gurus of our times and it was he who coined the phrase “Success Leaves Clues.”

But what did he mean?

He meant that, in the pursuit of success, others have left footprints in the sand that you can follow.

And there are different types of clues.

Clues of what to do, as well as what to avoid.

And the best thing about it is, these clues are all around you…if you know where to look.

Stumbling Blocks to Writing More

Okay. It's time for me to whinge an whine some more about moving.

On Monday I spent the whole afternoon ringing round companies to notify them of our change of address and to make sure that final meter readings were done. This was instead of the writing I was supposed to be doing.

A couple of them were difficult and wouldn't change our address unless they talked to my husband Dean first.

Then the stupid bank took a mortgage payment for our old house out of our checking account and put it in ourold home loan account. Naturally the home loan account (which should have been closed by now) then had a credit balance b/c the mortgage had been paid off, while our checking account had a negative balance.

How I Got Into a Creative "Zone"

I told you recently about how I moved from a 4 bed house into a teeny-tiny 2 bed house and how difficult it was.

I think it's easier to move from a smaller place into a somewhere bigger because you can fit all your stuff in easily with room to spare.

But downsizing was much harder with my new little house bursting at the seams with too much stuff. But it's okay now because most of my unnecessary possessions have gone.

Downsizing means I'll have more time for writing and doing other things I want to do, which was the plan.

But the initial stress of moving was hard and it certainly was leaving me in no mood to write.
But I had to.

So how did I cope?

Changes Are Afoot

I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to send you an email, but I have my reasons and I'll explain it all. Plus I'll tell you what I'm going to be doing and the changes I'm making.

Firstly, since I signed off before Xmas, I've done several things

I moved from a 4-bed house into a teeny-tiny 2-bed house (all part of my new minimalist lifestyle) with a big garden for growing food.

This has meant sorting and getting rid of most of my possessions and has taken ages.

On the day of the move, my husband Dean and I, looked at our overcrowded little house, bursting with unpacked boxes and way too much furniture, made a joint executive decision, left the house and went to the pub.

It was all too overwhelming.

It took 2 weeks to sort things out.
