Lesley Morgan's Blog: Mindset

What’s the conversation you are having with yourself? You know the one, that voice in your head that speaks to you with the “taped message recordings”... the voice telling/stating to you, over and over, the same declarations. The voice that can, and most likely has, lead you to anxiety, self doubt, fear, depression, anger, sadness, and perhaps (in the end) loneliness.

Shhh…listen... Yeah... that’s the one...The Narrator-Teller of Tales…the one that accompanies you day in, day out.

What is that voice in your head saying to you right now? Perhaps it says, “Take no notice of what this Lesley person is saying”...” Skip on to the next blog”... “This would be a good time start a load of laundry”...

Come close, yes a little closer... let me tell you a secret. There was a time, not so long ago, when I had not even, EVER, stopped to reflect on the fact that this, what I now call The Narrator – Teller of Tales, voice-in-my-head thingy was not ME!

This revelation was put before me in a just think about this manner by a mentor in my life. “Consider that the voice in your head is not you, who you truly are.” At first I didn't get it. The Narrator had kicked in and swiftly moved to a defensive play. He began by charming me in a seductive voice, and cajoling me to dismiss my mentor out of hand. Then I felt a sudden shock, like lightening! It started in my chest and shot both ways, making my toes curl and my hair stand on end simultaneously.

One of life’s defining moments, to be sure. I had “ a whack upside the head” awareness that it was the man-behind-the-curtain syndrome…The Narrator- Teller of Tales…was indeed just as the Wizard of OZ, seemly all knowing and powerful, hijacking my thoughts and worst of all, masquerading as me!

Think about it, be honest with yourself. Are you in “command of your own ship"...are you being the true you..your authentic self, or is there a Narrator voice in your head manipulating the levers of sounds and light in your life??

Off with you for now...go away and think about it.

Until we meet again….

In the past months, I have been trying to hold on to areas of my life that just were not working out the best for me. At the root of it, I was stuck in not wanting to let people down, and lacking the courage to move out of places, and circumstances, that are not serving me any longer.

Those monster brothers, Anxiety and Fear, started to creep...step-by-step...in to my world in a stealth manner at first, hardly noticeable.

Then, more recently, I was feeling the monster duo had me in a death grip. I felt like someone had set a house on my chest, and my throat was severely sore every afternoon and evening. I noticed that I did not laugh, at all…Joy gone from my life.

A few weeks ago, I drew a line in the sand, and during the dark hours of the night, I put a new set of Intentions out to the Universe.

It took only a few days… then my phone rang three times with new opportunities for me to make a change in one of my businesses. A week later, I picked up a new coaching account with some great people you will be meeting soon here on our BraveHeart site.

Last night, on a whim, I stopped at a grocery store and rented the movie Mamma Mia. When I got home and put it in the DVD player, I soon heard an unusual sound….a sound I have not heard for awhile...it was me laughing! I watched the movie a second time, and this time sang along!!

Today I set out on one of these New Beginnings. "Shift is happening..."

BraveHeart Women, please send a “Whoosh” my way!

One Life...Many Passions!

To my great joy, I have just discovered there is only one real rule in life! Wow! Doesn't that make you breathe a big sigh of relief?!? Well, let me tell you a little story I just came across...

Two prime ministers are sitting in a room discussing affairs of stale. Suddenly a man bursts in, apoplectic with fury, shouting and stamping and banging his fist on the desk.

The resident prime minister admonishes him: "Peter", he says, "Kindly remember Rule Number 6," whereupon Peter is instantly restored to complete calm, apologizes, and withdraws.

The politicians return to their conversation, only to be interrupted minutes later by an hysterical women gesticulating wildly, her hair flying.

Again, the intruder is greeted with the words: "Marie, please remember Rule Number 6." Complete calm descends once more, and she too withdraws with a bow and apology.

When the scene is repeated for a third time, the visiting prime minister addresses his colleagues: "My dear friends, I've seen many things in my life, but never anything as remarkable as this. Would you be willing to share with me the secret of Rule Number 6?"

"Very simple," replies the resident prime minister. "Rule Number 6 is...Don't take yourself so damn seriously." "Ah," says his visitor. "that is a fine rule."

After a moment of pondering, he inquires, "And what, may I ask, are the other rules?"

The prime minister replies, "There aren't any."...

Got a coach? How about a mentor (or several)

Think of King Arthur's round table. The King and his Mastermind Group. Yes, well I know that is not likely how His Majesty referred to them, but I am pretty certain that is what it was.

Envision, if you will, all the best minds of the realm, flanking the entirety of the grand circle styled table.. facing one another..all brainpower directed toward a good and common goal..a place called Camelot!

At my table sits Ellie Drake, Seth Godin, Mari Smith, Wayne Dyer, Alex Jeffreys, Leonardo da Vinci, Napoleon Hill, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Maya Angelou, Maria Andros, Snow White, Socrates, Queen Elizabeth #1, Amy Huentelman, and Jack Canfield - just to name a few.

Pretty good, uh? By-the-by, there are some folks listed here that don't have a clue who I am. But it matters not...they are among the circle that has influenced me to become inspiration in action, and create my own Camelot. (Wouldn't it be great fun to get this group together at Starbucks?)

So alas...out defending the castle, AND slaying dragons on your own, are we??? It's a little more than difficult to man the catapults, push the siege tower to the gates of Castle Success, pour cauldrons of boiling oil on assailants, all on your own...OK, I'll slow down with the dramatic effects now. I am getting to a point here.

You may fancy yourself as a King Arthur in your character, mind and spirit - aspiring to great things. But, it matters not, unless you are supported by an arsenal of great knights, and grand ladies (living in this life, or not-so-much). You cannot create and/or rule a kingdom without a "Special Forces" support team.

So sally forth.. put together the great coaches, and mentors, that will sit at your round table!

HEED THIS DECLARATION: Be a coach, be a mentor, but be very certain to surround yourself with the same.

You know, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. With that in mind, I was just thinking...

Sometimes "Perfect" looks different than what you might have imagined...

Monday morning, October the 5th, at 11:00 AM Pacific Standard Time, (while I am boarding a plane at the LA airport on my return from our fabulous RISE event), my home will be put up for auction on the steps of the courthouse here in Reno, Nevada. Every week this sale event occurs, addresses read off by a state official in a dispassionate monotone voice. A number of people, origin unknown to me, silently raise their hands as the bids increase.

“Bummer! “ you say? Well, not so much.

For months, I have been living with conflicted thoughts and emotions about what I knew would be inevitable. 4039 Antinori Drive, my house, would become yet another statistic in the fact that Nevada ranks number #1 in home foreclosures. Hmm... a not-so-great claim to current fame for our "Silver State".

I would like to point out that as I began this blog, I used the term home…then referred to it as a house. The difference is that I have made the “mental shift” in the meaning of those terms in my vernacular. Where I sit and write to you today is wood, plaster, tile…that kind of stuff, a house. And, that’s it! It is all stuff. It is not me or what defines me, only stuff.

In these past few months, there has been much "shifting" in my life. All great things leading to a magnificent, fulfilling life ahead. Not in time to continue to live where I now reside, but this all is a blessing none-the-less. A new career/life path in social media, and the self-development field is emerging, and I see my "purpose" at the center of it all. (More on that later...) So, it's out with the old, and in with the NEW!

One thing I know for sure is that, where I live next will be my home, because I will be there and will make it so.



I leave you with these two statements:

When one door closes, another door opens. Sometimes it’s just a little Hell in the hallways. (Pardon my French.)

There’s No Place Like Home, There’s No Place Like Home…....


See you at RISE this weekend!!
