Today is the day to play with fire.  Yours. Ours. Heaven’s.

The Olympic Flame was lit this morning in Olympia, Greece and the Torch is on its way to London for the Summer 2012 Games.

I have goosebumps!  The sacred kind that make the hair stand up on my arms…I get teary and my heart swells.  It’s that kind of inspiring day.

Because it is the fire within you that fuels you to overcome Lie #2 and take advantage of every obstacle, detour, distraction or delay as an opportunity for mercy, learning, renewed action and miracles.  It is the vessel through which your mission is carried out in the world, trumping Lie #7.

Did you know?

• The Torch is lit by the rays of the sun ~ to ensure it’s purity.

• Dictionary.com tells us that Olympus is a poetic word for heaven.

• The Torch Relay symbolizes the spreading of the Olympic message of peace.

• And the Olympic Flame is considered one of the world’s eternal flames and is not to go out, thus travels with an entrourage of relayers, caretakers and a host of back up flames (3 of them!).

Your flame is the same:  it’s what I call the Olympic Torch Why^tm facet of your CORE (soul).

It’s “why” you do anything…and everything.

It either stops you…..

With lack of clarity, overdelivering, procrastination, undercharging, inability to make requests/ask for what you want/ask for the sale, stress, conflicts, overwhelm, or……

By tamping it down, judging it, ignoring it, or allowing it to be snuffed out. By believing the lie that this part of you is impure, evil, selfish and temporal.

Or it propels you…

IF like 2012 Olympic Games Chief Sebastian Coe you:  ”…promise to protect the Flame,  honor it’s traditions, [have] an uplifting torch relay of which we can all be proud; and inspire a generation.”

Protect your Flame, & Honor it’s Traditions:  it is from heaven and eternal and is never to be judged, denied, or snuffed out

• discover what your primary “why” is and accept it for the God-given gift it is
• determine your traditions, what you need and how you operate
• tap into Spirit, leisure and fun, meditate and pray
• connect to your heart, vision, honor what you want
• create a plan, make requests and take action to care for you in healthy ways – this is not selfish, it’s wise and will keep you going when the road to victory gets rough
• these “traditions” are your personal infrastructure and are clues to how to set up your household and business so they run on their own, your way!

Have and uplifting Torch Relay of which you can be proud, inspire your generation and leave a legacy for the next: purity and peace

• surround yourself with uplifting people who believe in you and support your vision, mission and legacy (family, friends, and TEAM)
• get your message out to the world:  where are you holding back?  what’s one action you will take today?
• get into the marketplace:  who do you need to be in front of? what will you do to be there?
• participate in the economy:  set fees that value the results you help people achieve, offer your services regularly/consistently and ask for the sale
• enjoy reciprocity:  receive the resources, team, clients, revenues, profits from running the “relay” of life and business – be sustainable:leave a legacy
• celebrate: tell us about your silver, bronze and gold medals, any and all joys – it uplifting for us all
