Without Prejudice
Everything is a blessing, even the lien that was placed on our strata complex in February of this year.
The lien placed unnecessary hardship on our business and cost us an enormous amount emotionally and financially. Is this true?
Leading Advisor Inc. has always been funded via cash reserves and cash flow without a business line of credit. Our plan this year for Leading Advisor Inc. was to fulfill our bigger vision and expand. We requested and were approved for a line of credit in January. We subsequently discovered the lien on the strata complex, and we have had to put our plans on hold.
The lien was placed by a snow removal contractor that was hired by the strata corporation for de-icing roads and snow removal. Clearly, a dispute between the strata corporation and the snow removal contractor had nothing to do with us or Leading Advisor Inc.
The lien has provided us with the opportunity to raise our consciousness.
The lien gave us the opportunity for us to revisit our 2018 business plan, examine the expansion plans and make a better plan that will be realized 2018 – 2022.
Did the lien place unnecessary hardship on our business and cost us an enormous amount emotionally and financially. Is this true?
It depends on what we believe.
It is said that everything is for the purpose of joining and going back to our centre, God, heart and soul.
Meaning; there is nothing outside in the mortal world; not a bank, business plan, lien, money nor an outside thing that can take anything that is true away from us, we are not a thing, we are far more infinite.
This world is filled with false idols promising to bring fulfillment, yet false idols can bring about separation that is alien to our birthright.
My definition of alien is relating to or denoting a being from a world outside of our own and akin to the amygdala; the fight or flight mechanism in the brain that is in competition with what is truly infinite.
If something happens to the world that the amygdala believes it is responsible for creating, then the fight or flight mechanism of the amygdala will either attack or fall victim to, in our case, some bank, business plan, lien, money etc. to take us away from our true identity.
Think about what your identity is based on;
- Your id; “The part of the mind in which innate instinctive impulses and primary processes are manifest.”
- Your centre, God, heart and soul
The amygdala is constantly looking for evidence to make what is unreal, real. The amygdala is addicted to looking for an outside cause to what its fight or flight mechanism is creating through the law of subtraction; yes, you read subtraction correctly.
In theology, a covenant is a relationship that brings about communion with our centre, God, heart and soul.
One can also choose a covenant to commune with fear and fear compounds fear.
Did the lien that was placed by a snow removal contractor that was hired by the strata corporation have something to do with us or Leading Advisor Inc.?
Yes, if I had an emotional reaction.
So when I found out that our strata lot had a lien on it preventing us from fulfilling our 2018 business plan, did I sit in a lotus position and sing Kumbaya?
No.
Some very deep-rooted primal beliefs and emotions were triggered that brought me to a level of stress that I had not felt in years.
Did I exhibit my past emotional and physical experiences around accounting and tax time believing some accountant, bank, business plan, or government could take my birthright away?
Not anywhere near what I’ve experienced in the past.
Fortunately, I’ve surrendered myself with decades of excellent counsel and practices.
From my centre, heart and soul, not my mind where the amygdala lives, I breathe into and stay present with the following feelings; abandonment, cornered, despair, exhaustion, helplessness and persecution.
These feelings have allowed me to revisit past core beliefs that include; I am defective, powerless and unworthy.
These emotions and beliefs allowed me to revisit the month of April from long ago when my mother and father had emotional and physical fights around accounting and tax time believing some accountant, bank, government; false god or idol could take our birthright away.
Everything is a blessing, even the lien that was placed on our strata complex in February.
As of May 1, 2018, the lien has not been removed.
I’ll leave you with these profound lyrics from Lauren Hill;
I wrote these words (I wrote these words) for everyone who struggles in their youth
Who won’t accept deception, in instead of what is truth
It seems we lose the game
Before we even start to play
Who made these rules? (Who made these rules?)
We’re so confused (We’re so confused)
Easily led astray
Let me tell ya that…
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
Everything is everything (everything)
After winter must come spring
Everything is everything

The best and most unexpected outcome of working with Simon was on myself. Within Simon’s coaching program I have become very clear that if I take care of my foundations first, everyone else benefits. I appreciate having an experienced and knowledgeable sounding board with Simon. Someone who is not 100% involved in my day to day to give me sound advice, homework and assignments to continue to strengthen myself and my business. Simon has coached me to get my priorities in place so I don’t fall into the trap of over scheduling, over stressing, and forgetting about the most important things; life, family and myself. I appreciate Simon’s coaching strategy as we move into marketing, planning and staffing discussions. I now realize that I will be approaching them with a solid foundation and clear direction forward to reach my goals and grow my business.
