This is day 28 of my 28 Day Transformation Experiment, and I offer you this initial thought:

‘Encompassing all progress and transformation is the practice of constant, never-ending education.’

Don’t become satisfied with what you think you know. If what you currently know is enough, then you would already be where you want to be. You would have already accomplished everything you wish to accomplish. Reach further by exploring more. Be willing to question your current beliefs.

Don’t be afraid of ideas. Good ideas will appeal to you and stick with you. Bad ideas will fall by the wayside. Knowledge is never something to fear.

I have much to share with you about the past 28 days. The full report will take more reflection and thought on my part, and I plan to offer insights as they are ready to share. But, initially, I want you to understand that over-arching all progress and all successful transformation is the practice of constant, never-ending education.

Expect another update within the next few days.

Today is December 14th, and I am at the half way point in my 28 day transformation experiment.

I’ve already learned a lot.

I am breaking down this process into ten distinct, easily followed directives. Each directive alone will lead to vast improvement. And once you put them all together, you will be a transformation machine!

Each day for ten days (beginning December 1st) I have concentrated on one distinct directive. Then, for the past few days, I’ve been letting my mind play wherever it wants to play. Beginning Monday (tomorrow), I’ll once again review one directive a day for the next ten days. That will leave a few days at the end of the process to mull things over once again.

Since today is a play day in this part of the process and I have allowed my thoughts to go where they will,  they have led me into the area of radical belief.

To paraphrase Wallace Wattles, thinking is the toughest job you’ll  ever undertake. And he wasn’t referring to just any type of thinking; he was referring to believing things that are not immediately supported by what we are currently seeing and experiencing.

People commonly say, “I’ll believe it when I see it.”

But uncommon thinkers say, “I’ll see it when I believe it.”

That’s radical belief – the kind of belief that you employ when you are successfully transforming and manifesting.

Here’s the simple breakdown. First, get a vision. Then, radically believe, no matter how things appear and no matter how hard it might be to hold  that belief. And sometimes, particularly when you first begin, believing in spite of what you see will be hard work, just like Wattles says.

But, like everything else, the more you learn, the easier it gets. And it also gets easier with practice, and, just as soon as  you experience some success, it’s downright fun!

Once I finish the 28 day process and put all of the pieces together, you’ll be able to easily see how radical belief works in this process. It’s one very important ingredient in your continuing transformation.

I believe in going with the flow.

When you go with the flow, you float effortlessly down life’s stream. When you fight the flow, it’s like struggling to swim upstream. So I decided a long time ago to try and not fight the flow. I always intend to just go with it.

Recently, I’ve been working hard on developing a teleseminar; actually, I’ve been planning to develop a series of teleseminars. And that work has been going fine, but, like I said in the previous sentence, I’ve been working “hard.” And if you are going with the flow, things should never be “hard.”

So when inspiration hit me a week or so ago, I gladly succumbed to its influence, because inspiration is never hard. Inspiration is fun and challenging and, yes, it puts you right in the flow. Inspiration occurs when your thinking and feeling and intending all come together in a glorious doing. And who could ever say no to that?

I said yes. And that decision has led to a 28 day experiment. I’m calling it my “Transformational Sabbatical.” I’m taking a sabbatical from the way I’ve been doing things (the hard way), and I’m designing a program that will transform specific areas of my life in easily measured ways; and this transformation will happen in 28 days.

For those who  have purchased ‘Mastering Your Power of Release,’ you already know that I’ve developed extremely effective methods for achieving happiness and success by releasing the baggage that holds you back. And I’m definitely using some of the same methods during my new 28 day experiment.

And I’ve been studying dynamic insights form some of the best transformational minds teaching today and from some of the great old classics. I’ve also been doing a lot of thinking; I mean really taking specific moments to just sit and think. And I’m integrating the best of what I’m learning into my 28 day transformation.

So far, it’s been a blast!

I’ll definitely have a lot to report when I’m done. I’ve set very specific goals, and I’m interested to see how this all works. My intention is that I will create a series of easily followed suggestions that will transform any life in 28 days.

I plan to offer updates as I go. And when I’m through with the 28 days, I’ll review all of the information. And I’ll ask for feedback as I tweak the process.

But, for now, the most exciting thing is that I’m working with my inspiration, and I’m going with the flow. And that approach always makes life more effortless, dynamic, and fun.
