90. Half-Way Give-Away

"Whenever you set out to do what's never been done before, or never been done in the way you want to do it, you risk losing all sorts of things -- time that could have been spent doing something else, money that could have been saved, prestige, status, income, or the perception of security. But the possibility of loss is also a signpost that what you're doing really matters, that you're vested in both the process and the outcome. Knowing that fuels a deeper commitment to action and to striving not just to create something, but to create something amazing." - Jonathan Fields, Uncertainty

Guess what day it is???? It's Half-Way Day!!! Acceptance Project is half-way done TODAY. 90 blog posts posted and 90 more to go! Hoooooraaaayyyyyy!

I have three copies of Jonathan Fields' book Uncertainty: Turning Fear and Doubt into Fuel for Brilliance sitting on my desk and I would like to send one to YOU!

As you may remember, I've posted about the wonderfulness of this book in blog posts 48. Your Creative Calling and 37. Uncertainty. So if you need a refresher as to WHY this book is so freakin' awesome...then check out those posts.

Now, back to me sending you a FREE book...

"Not everyone is shut down by uncertainty, risk of loss, and fear of judgment. All around us, we hear stories of writers, painters, dancers, coders, entrepreneurs, and innovative corporate teams who appear to  have near-superhuman ability to dance with the elements of creation that terrify most people. In doing so, they create stunning art, businesses, solutions, and experiences. Are these people just freaks of nature? Are they somehow wired differently? What gives them the ability to lean into the emotions and experiences that shut most other people down?...What are these things that would allow us to become fear alchemists, to transform the circumstances that would normally terrify us into fuel for creative brilliance?" - Jonathan Fields, Uncertainty
