I thought I would share my list of people I admire so here it is:

Martin Luther King, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, William Shakespeare, Eckhart Tolle, Bill Gates, Bruce Springsteen, Leo Tolstoy, Robert Fisk, Jonny Wilkinson.

There was a long list of qualities that came out of this:

courage, determination, honesty, wisdom, eloquence, peacefulness, openness, insight, vision, understanding, creativity, talent, generosity, prolific.

The thing is that I can see that this is who I am. I probably wouldn't have said that before but it is a pretty good description of the qualities that I have. It's not even who I want to be on a good day, it's who I am right now.

There's still a part of me that is saying, hold on a minute, you can't go round saying that. But that's the part that hasn't got anywhere and hasn't achieved anything and hides away from the world rather than allowing the world to see me as I really am.

I'd be interested to see what came out of this for other people.

Thanks
Paul

I'm on LL12 now, and will stay for another week. Here it goes:

1. Adyashanti
2. Eckhart Tolle
3. Esther Hicks
4. Oprah Winfrey
5. Richard Branson
6. Milton Erickson
7. Darren Brown
8. Rebecca Fine
9. Vimala Rodgers
10.Julia Roberts

THIS IS WHO AND WHAT I CAME HERE TO BE:

1. Truthful - To be original, stay true to myself.
2. Courageous - Have courage even when I am fearful.
3. Fun loving - I do it only because it's fun.
4. Unstoppable - I have this CMI. I'm gonna play this game as though I'm gonna win, as though my life depends upon winning; I'm just going to act that way. And then if I lose the game, I'm gonna create another game and start playing again, because I have this CMI, and I'm not done yet. I'm never done until I say it's done.
5. Inspiring - For me, it's absolutely inspiring to be inspiring.
6. Generous
7. Brilliance
8. Wealthy
9. Forward-thinking
10. Adventuous

I like that. Now you are noticing. When friends find I don't even have a TV set at home, I tell them, "You have no idea how busy I am and how much fun I have eating popcorns and watching my own mind."

I thought that I would also share my list from LL12 because I find I like myself more after doing it. This is my list of my heroes:

1. Charles Dickens
2. Charles Darwin
3. Kevin McMahon (my brother)
4. Ross McMahon (my other brother, Kevin's twin)
5. Freddie Mercury
6. Martin Luther King
7. Nelson Mandela
8. Cesar Milan (the Dog Whisperer)
9. Oprah Winfrey
10. Maya Angelou

So, this is who and what I came to be:

Intelligent
A survivor
Creative
Talented
Caring
Courageous
Supportive
Dedicated
Inspiring
Funny
Insightful
Generous

Wow, I love that. What an amazing time I'm going to have (am having!) living a life driven by those qualities. I just can't wait now to really clarify my CMI as it is still a bit vague. But I know it will come clear if I stick with the course and have patience and trust, in myself and the Universe. Thank you Rebecca and everyone on the forum. You're all a support and an inspiration.
