Thanks for the comment.

Re: Ask… why were you told that you need it? Was it just for that one service? Ask has a lot of benefits, or so I’m told… but for me, that obnoxious javascript thing is the only thing that I need.

I totally hear you about going to the gym. When you’re cranky, you don’t want to go… usually I warm myself up by blasting some feel-good music and doing some crunches in my house, and then I’ll be motivated to go. I’m a nerd, I acknowledge this.

I agree with you about mid and long term goals. I used to keep a 3 section notebook… the last section was long term (6 months and out) goals, the middle was breaking down the long term goals into pieces (1-6 months), and the front was bite-sized pieces of how I could accomplish those goals. It worked really well and really helped put things in perspective.

I kind of stopped once I left for the road trip, but I’m committed to starting again.

Warrior Camp was AMAZING. They say that when you go there, you come out a different person… that you’re kind of on a different “frequency” than people who haven’t gone. I don’t know about that but I do know that everybody says I’ve changed a lot. I really, really loved it… I’d take that experience over the road trip, the photo shoot, any of it… any day.

As far as fear – the psychology behind it is so fascinating. I remember reading a study about how people who are asleep during car accidents usually fare a lot better than those who are awake. I love your story!

As far as being positive – I agree. You can’t be naive and think that everything will take care of itself, but at the same point, a degree of faith is almost crucial. The more that I study successful people, the more I realize that almost all of them have a degree of spirituality – much more so than “average” people.

No worries on getting too personal – I’m an open book. I wouldn’t check out a potential boyfriend’s finances either way though, haha… I plan on doing well on my own, a successful guy is just a bonus.

It’s awesome to hear that you’ve achieved so many of your goals! What did you achieve and what do you have left (besides funding them)?

As far as Warrior Camp – the website’s here – http://www.enlightenedwarrior.com/. I meant to put it in my blog post, but if you decide to sign up, let me know. I get a commission which I will happily forward to anyone who signs up. It doesn’t matter to me about the money – I’m really passionate about getting as many people to that camp as possible! It’s just so ridiculously awesome.

Anyway, feel free to write back or email me at rachelrofe at gmail.com. I actually plan on visiting Australia during my trip… one of my business partners is Australian and says that he’s the shortest of his friends (and he’s 6’3!). Tall men with Australian accents… count me in!

Going to the gym also gives me a high when I’m feeling depressed but usually if I am depressed I dont feel like going to the gym and its a mental push to make it happen. Then I say to myself ‘see me I feel better now dont I’.lol.

But I what I really focus on is my mid-term and longer term goals to get me thinking about where I am going instead of where I am. Sitting in a traffic jam going to a job that I dont really want to be at I know why I am there, right at that moment. It has a purpose. I guess that kind of feeds into your point 1. Sounds like the Warrior Camp was gr8.

I love ur quote as fear is anticipation of pain. A couple of years ago I took up wrestling for 6 months or so. Long story short – I dislocated my shoulder while training. After some messing around we got down to the hospital to get the shoulder put back in. So I said to the doctor ‘let me know when u are going to put it in so I can relax…’ I realise that most people tense up in anticipation of pain. Relax under pressure lol. Guess what – it didnt hurt at any more when he put it back in…(and he didnt tell me!)

I agree with ur point on being positive. Mind u that doesnt mean dont plan for the worst, like do insure ur house, do wear a seatbelt in a car, do check out ur potential boyfrind’s finances, family and friends before u get committed, do expect that he can manage his excercse/weight, drinking, budget because u aint got a hope of changing any of those things! lol Please forgive me if I’m getting too personal u dont even know me…

Sounds like ur so on track to a great life. Keep up the good work! I’ve had alot of goals that I have achieved, too many to list right now but the only thing I would do differently knowing what I know now is to fully fund my goals, so if I wanted to climb mount Everest (not on my list but…) I would set up a seperate account and put away for it.

Can u tell me anything else about the Warrior Camp?

Thanks again for the tip on databases, hope to hear from u some time, bye for now…Glen
