IN THIS ISSUE

OH NO -- NOW WHAT?

If you were one of the many who signed up for the F*ree Learning to Live by Design class — you know what went on. If you missed out on the class, you missed a lot. The feedback I got on it was just tremendous! People were blown away by the content.

If you DIDN'T make it on the call, you can still benefit because the full recording of the seminar and the workbook is posted for you at:

I mentioned great content — as well as challenges getting started.

For one — there was a typo in the call in info. When I called into the bridge line early so I would be on the call to welcome folks I found it to be an invalid number. Checking my info I realized there had been a typo. That meant all the folks calling in any moment would not be able to join the call!

It was as if all these folks had RSVP'd yes to a party invite that had the wrong address and when they arrived no one was home.

Oh No!

Imagine yourself in my situation. Taking action assuming all was in place only to discover a break in transparency — meaning, what you assumed was about to happen did not. Like getting a flat tire while driving to an appointment — suddenly your world changes and that which had been previously transparent, becomes very apparent — what you thought would happen, getting to your appointment on time — is no longer a possibility.

In my case it was very apparent that the call would not happen. . . . unless I took action. But What To Do?

Isn't life like that? Something tends to happen on the way from here to there.

The key to mastery in life is not avoiding Something Happening, or attempting to control things so unplanned events never occur. The key is to become competent in dealing with life when life does what life does.

Something Happening is a Creative Opportunity. I could have succumbed to the current state of affairs and accepted the call would not happen. OR, I could challenge myself to create a solution.

After getting over the initial adrenaline rush that came with the shock of realizing what had occurred, I took a few deep breaths to calm my racing heart and asked myself a Power Question:

"Now What?"

*Now What* moved me into action.

Instead of moaning about a flat tire, or a typo, or a whatever, a more Powerful Choice is to face what is and create something from THIS moment.

*Now What* leads the way.

Asking the *Now What* Power Question triggered the thought to email those folks who signed up with the correct phone number.

In a few moments the call began to fill up.

Power Questions focus the mind in the direction you want to go. Focusing on what you want is part of the process of living by design.

So is using *The Finger Revolution* a tool I taught during the call which is to be used along with Power Questions.

We are either living by default or by design and learning to live by design could change your life.

If you are interested in learning to live by design, and are wondering what the hey is a Finger Revolution, listen to the recording right away.

http://www.lesliesann.com/LivingByDesign/LBDaudio.html

It's available complete with the blips and beeps that accompany a live call and is downloadable for a ridiculously low price of $10 until May 15th, when the price will increase.

Not only do you get the audio but a workbook as well.

Let me know what you think. It's a preview for what's to come in the 5-week Learning to Live by Design program which is an expanded and more in depth program to help you really call your dreams and goals into reality. You can go to my web site to find out more about the longer course.

Warmly,

Leslie

WORTH WATCHING

http://video.stumbleupon.com/#p=ithct48cqw

JUST FOR FUN

WITHOUT anyone watching you

(they will think you are GOOFY)

and while sitting where you are

at your desk in front of your computer,

lift your right foot off the floor and make

Clockwise Circles.

Next:

While doing this, draw the number '6' in the air

with your Right Hand.

Your foot will change (unless you are left handed then it may not).
