But this is just a cycle of use it, build it up, take a break. When you take a break, you will see how much it has changed your deep core by what happens during that break. At first it will seem like you've lost ground, and then it will build back up again. And then you'll take a break.
And with each cycle of build up and take a break, you'll see that the fear is less and less, and the success is more and more, until running the program or taking a break, you get exactly the same results.
One thing you should remember is that the only way to fail is to stop trying. If there's one thing I have learned in my life, it's that NOTHING matters for achieving success more than having a concrete goal and then going at it no matter what happens. You might not know this, but this is my 4th time trying to become a millionaire. At least four times previously, I have been within smelling distance of it, aaaallllmost able to touch it, grasp it... and then I had something outside of my control kill it, take it away, wreck it. The first time, it was cancer. The second time it was miscommunication. The third time, my girlfriend actually killed it because she was afraid that if I became wealthy, I'd leave her. Guess what made me leave her.
But each time, devastating as it is, I always get back to work. And each time, I learn something from the experience, and I come that much closer next time, because next time I know what mistakes not to make.
The only way to fail is to stop trying, because what most people think is failure is really just a lesson on what does not work, what not to do, and how to do it better next time!

Works just as well for women.
So take it as it comes and keep going. You're not done yet!
I wasn't aware that this is your 4th time trying to become a millionaire. Especially that part about your girlfriend sabotaging your efforts...I don't even know what to say about that. If someone did that to me....how do you even begin to trust people again...Anyway, thank your for that post Shannon, that was really helpful
In other news...the positive/negative thinking ratio is 50/50 today. Still volatile. I'm taking the day off from work. Going to a birthday party tonight. Met a friend for coffee earlier. We actually managed to sneak into the national park today without paying for the ticket. The guy who works at the entrance went home earlier today because it was windy. My friend was commenting how we were so lucky to be able to go in without paying. And I kept thinking to myself "and maybe this is Luck Maximizer at work"
