Earlier today, you may have read about an invention called Gorilla Glass and how they’re thinking about using it for HDTVs. Phillip Wong over at CNET.com joked in a blog post about his list of wants in a theater setup, wondering if Gorilla Glass was really necessary.

What is Gorilla Glass?

According to Wong’s blog post, it’s an ultra durable bulletproof-like glass that would go on the front of an HDTV if the deal goes through. Maybe for all those people who accidentally throw the Wii controller through the screen after getting excited about winning that virtual tennis match. Hah, or like that TV commercial where they were playing baseball and the guy’s friend says “pretend you’re really in the game” and the guy throws the control baseball pitch style right through the television.

The purpose Gorilla Glass seems to solve is much like insurance, whether it be car insurance or health insurance: a promise of reimbursement in case of damage or loss.

It’s kinda like how in life when you step out of your comfort zone how having a Gorilla Glass like attitude really comes in handy. When the “what if” questions surface, doubts start creeping in, the unbreakable glass serves to keep your mindset in check so you can keep moving forward.

Recently, you may have seen a project I put together where I stepped way out of my comfort zone. The action happened when it became more important to get out there in a big way to reach the people I am here to reach than to succumb to the uncomfortable feelings. The page I put up was a fundraising campaign to go towards me getting my hypnosis certification.

Here’s that page: http://www.BeWhoYouIs.com

Some of the thoughts that went through my head: “what will people thing” “wow this is really humbling” “what if people don’t get that it’s not about me, about how that certification represents the people who I can reach, the lives I can facilitate change in”

A wise man once said how it can be humbling, but it doesn’t have to be humiliating.

So, your personal transformation can occur just beyond the comfort zone you may hold so dear right now.

A quote from a gentleman called Bill Walsh read, “the success you want happens just outside of your comfort zone”

So, today, tomorrow, and the next day, allow yourself to do the uncomfortable things so you can allow in those things you want in your life.

Philip Wong was right, you really don’t need Gorilla Glass, all that’s required of you is to live the art of allowing it in. If the TV breaks, get a new one – if the money’s not there for a new one right now, ask for it, let go, and then find ways to have fun – to allow joy to still come into your life without the TV, and act on whatever feels inspiring to you.

Thank you, dear reader, for investing your time to see what it takes for your own personal transformation – be well.

What a beautiful and glorious day it is… thank you for blessing me with today.

And thank you, dear reader, for sharing this time with me to open your heart and mind and receive. For as you know, time is precious and for that I am grateful you chose to share your time here, now. I, my friend, appreciate you.

Now, you may have heard of Jerry & Esther Hicks and their channeling of the non physical entity – Abraham. If you have not yet heard of or are not yet familiar with their work, I highly suggest you check out Abraham-Hicks as they are a wealth of wisdom.

So, lately, I’ve studied their work relentlessly, which helps to put everything you have ever studied about the Law of Attraction and self development for that matter, into action. You, like me, may have studied everything under the sun with self growth, tried personal development plans, and worked on your inner game until the cows came home. You may even get this stuff intuitively but not quite figured out how to use it consistently to create results in your life.

Sound anything like your experience?

It has definitely been my experience to have a huge bookcase filled with personal development books all promising to contain “the secret” to success.

And, why aren’t you a multimillionaire, with a beautiful family, driving that car you’ve always wanted, taking those vacations whenever, wherever you want?

To start with, if you have yet to read this book, check out Sara, Book 1, which will turn you on to the accelerating process of appreciation.

Anyways, this post is not one all about the Abraham Hicks series, though they are an integral part of discovering the powerful processes they teach to grow from the inside out.

One of the biggest lessons and blessings you can give yourself is to start from where you are on your path.

Everything any self development author has to give you works. The reason it may not work for you, work as fast as you’d like, etc. is because you may be trying to use the technology from a place other than where you’re starting out.

Make sense?

Positive expectancy works though you have to have a reason to positively expect. If it’s money you want and you have any feelings of desperation anywhere in your many layers, the experience you will most likely receive is more situations to be desperate about.

It’s your story, after all, and you can create whatever you want.

Yes, even things like cancer, amongst other things people commonly find “bad” or “wrong” are experiences that person created to learn a lesson of one feeling or another.

Just the other day a woman with a big heart at Holistic Happenings graciously shared with me how she used to have fibromyalgia and how she had to learn how to allow it in order to grow. In her initial resisting, the fibromyalgia initially got worse – more intense, to the point she had to use a cane to walk around. It was not until she learned to allow it and became OK with the thought of living with it the rest of her life that she healed the fibromyalgia.

She had what you might call an explosive blessing because when I saw her the other day, she now is a practicing hypnotist and she walks around freely without a cane.

Funny that I mention this to you in this post because the same day I spoke with the lady at Holistic Happenings, my brother yelled at me for what he felt were my shortcomings. Normally, I’d yell back and do what I could to bring light to all of his shortcomings in an effort to show him how it didn’t make sense to cast stones when he himself had many things to cast stones at…

Hah, how hilarious was that and no wonder it used to turn out the way it did.

The other day, I smiled and said thank you to my brother. One of the things he called me was “Mr Philosophy” to which I offered the notion he might be able to use much of what I have studied.

After he was finished going on about his perspective on my shortcomings, I thanked him for reminding me what I had to appreciate in my life experience.

That, dear reader, is one giant leap for mankind for as each one of you decides to be the change you want to see, you reclaim your energy as you grow into who you are becoming.

The most interesting part about that experience was how I had written out a list of things I appreciate about my family and offered it to them to read, which they did, and how the rest of it played out about to the “T” of an experience I read about in the Sara Books.

What I mean by that is after appreciating something, I was challenged to see how I would create the situation.

… so, appreciate and be open to all the wonderful experiences you create in your life.

Share in the comments below your experiences with using these principles in your life.
