	Finally we've launched!!!!!!! I've enjoyed all the posts so far, but maybe Mike can give us an idea of how to take those first baby steps to success...particularly when you're in an environment where your growing is threatening to and sabotaged by others because they have become so content with you NOT living your dreams..... I look forward to learning much in the next several weeks..... Katie

	Welcome KatieKC, I am not Mike yet I would like to respond to your question. Baby steps....One is: My thoughts and words are things....and Everything creates...positively, negatively or indifferantly....Every Seed thought must by law create fruit after its own kind...Two....Step back, LOOK and see and accept it took all of the past experiences to get you to this point in space and time, called present here and now...3.SEE I am changing daily depending on what I allow my mind to feed on.4. if your not getting what you want...notice your lying...5.walking AWAY from the creation is required to see the creator....peace and joy are a perspective over circumstances...no matter what might be....love ya....

	They say in a relationship one person changing can change the whole dynamic,that is because we are all connected .Even changing something that does't seem related like sitting in a different chair than usual can shift things around.Avoid your favorite place for a week and notice what happens.We sometimes contribute to the total rut by acting predictably,if you're resentful act greatful for a wk,if you're a model of efficiency -let stuff slide--hey it's only one week.check it out!

	katiekc: Where do you begin? By simply doing what you can, as often as you can: like was just said… be mindful of your every thought, word and deed…. also, VISUALIZE!!! It works! Do it everyday, just once a day, for about 5-10 minutes (no more). Examine your beliefs. Perform acts of faith. All of these things are easy to incorporate into your days, without going into big exercises, or following stressful methods. I’ll go more into some simple techniques later. As to dealing with the “turkeys”… you have to be true to YOU. There will always be turkeys, but so will there be the truth. Seek the truth out, keep it near to you, stay on its side, eat, sleep and breath it, and eventually (before you know it) your surroundings and your friends will change to be more reflective of “it”, as well as your new life views. Likes do attract. Just hang in there, and BE YOURSELF at all costs.
