			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I&#8217;m having a LOT of fun in India&#8230; WAAAY out of my comfort zone, so far out that its just not worth doing anything about it, just keep going&#8230;</p>
<p>Riding a motorcycle around South India&#8230;</p>
<p>(and getting run off the road by a bus&#8230;)</p>

<p>Hiking up a sacred mountain as the sun sets and the thunderstorm approaches&#8230;</p>
<p>Body surfing in filthy ocean water and NOT swallowing&#8230;</p>

<p>Giving teambuilding training to a group of awakened beings&#8230;</p>
<p>Riding on the local train where EVERYONE is staring at me (the only white person in the entire train&#8230; the entire train station)&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always loved adventure, but this, this is <em>off the charts!</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>

<p><em> </em></p>
<p>All these amazing opportunities keep presenting themselves,</p>
<p>and I keep saying &#8216;Yes!&#8217;</p>
<p>This mind is doing all kinds of calibrations to catch up&#8230;</p>
<p>and it may never catch up&#8230;</p>
<p>and &#8216;I&#8217; am totally ok with that!</p>
<p>The more I say YES, the greater the flow!</p>
<p>(Really, that&#8217;s the trick &#8211; keep saying <em><strong>YES!</strong></em></p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Loving you!</p>
<p>Joe</p>
<p>PS: Did I mention that the Secret to having WAY TOO MUCH FUN is to keep saying <em><strong>YES</strong></em> to what you love???</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Don&#8217;t you get tired of strategizing, of lining everything up and figuring it out?</p>
<p>Its how we&#8217;ve been taught; make a plan and stick to it! Check off the steps one, two three&#8230; (four, five, five hundred!)</p>
<p>Success is defined in a thousand books about how how how&#8230;</p>
<p>B-ooooring!</p>
<p>Its a LOT more fun to just show up!</p>
<p>Of course it helps to have an idea of where you want to go, but&#8230;</p>
<p>Doesn&#8217;t your heart already have that? I mean really, do you have to contemplate what you, in your heart, really want to do?</p>
<p>(Yes, that was a trick question)</p>
<p>I love just showing up&#8230; I&#8217;m doing it more and more in my life, and it ROCKS!</p>
<p>This, another fish story, is a prime example&#8230;</p>
