Monologue reference from Kevin Parkerson -
Bashar’s follow your excitement formula is the key to being your True Self and living your dream
Step 1- Act on your excitement, your passion, whatever is most exciting to you, in the moment. Do this every moment that you can.
Step 2- do this to the best of your ability. Take it as far as you can go until you cannot take it any further.
Step 3- Act on your excitement/passion with absolutely no insistence, assumption or expectation of what the outcome should be.
Step 4 -Choose to remain in a positive state regardless of what happens.
Step 5 – Constantly investigate your belief system. Release & replace the unpreferred beliefs: fear-based, and the beliefs not in alignment with who you prefer to be.
