It Ebbs And Flows

It Ebbs And Flows

I haven't talked about my game for a while. It's taken a back seat until recently. The launch of my game on Kickstarter has a significant impact on me hitting my million-dollar goal.

I was hoping to have it launched by now but I've tested the game 21 times. Every time I change something it breaks something else. I finally came to the conclusion that I was building the wrong thing. Or rather, I was building my game in the wrong way.

So I pulled the rug out from under my feet and decided to make it a different game, in a sense. We just started playing on Friday. I've been so lit up, it's all I can think about. The creative juices are flowing and I'm in the zone. I've made more progress in the past 2 days than I have in the past 2 months.

That's the secret

I've got to tap into that inspiration when it strikes. The inspiration isn't me, it's the source flowing through me. And when it flows, it's like magic. Progress happens a lot faster, everything tends to go right.

And better yet, after working at this for a year, I've gotten better at engineering the scenarios to make inspiration strike.

The brick wall I hit was a good thing, it allowed me to take a step back and get a 50,000 ft view. It allowed me to try something wildly different. It allowed me to get excited about something new.

It took some time to get from there to here so I hyped myself up through my journal along the way. I kept telling myself that this would happen, I just needed to set the date, let go of the wheel, and let the universe guide me.

But it's not just that

With my attention on the game, it's being pulled from elsewhere. So while I have this downtime on the other projects, I can use it to build up a lightning strike for those as well.

My mastermind just came crashing down last week. This is the quiet before the storm. Now is the time to build the scenario in my mind to create another scenario where everything goes right.

I'm bouncing between projects, putting all of my focus and energy into the one at hand. When the tides shift, I bounce that energy in the other direction.

I used to try to do everything at once. It slowed me down and burnt me out. Now, I focus on one thing at a time. I put the pedal to the metal until I run out of gas, then hop into the next car and go - that sounds like a bad metaphor but I'm not the car, I'm the driver and I'm stoked that I've got all these toys to play with.

I do a lot but I love it all. Each and every project lights me up.

Finding balance

I used to think that finding balance was staying in the middle, riding the line for as long as I could. That's hard.

Now I find myself swerving back and forth across the line, knowing that nothing's perfect, and trusting everything always equals out. That's a lot more fun : )

Join me on this journey...

This journal is a nightly look into my experience of manifesting a million dollars - the good, the bad, and the ugly. I will continue writing three nights a week until I have achieved my goal.

Balance isn’t about staying perfectly centered—it’s about adapting, adjusting, and enjoying the ride.?
