I got this email from a friend. It was so great I asked her if I could put it out to all of you.
Best wishes

Hi Gene,
I'm finding that knowing my number one value in life is really helping me to enjoy anything I do. I know of a lot of people who have health, family or sucess as their number one values (and know their top 10 so their decision making processes are much easier) but I have FUN!!
My number one value is FUN!! I know this may sound odd in this world where we are "supposed" to be sucessful or career oriented or whatever, and it still works for me!
I recently decided that I was allowed (I gave myself permission) to have fun at work. Not only did my productivity increase, but the clinic was also much easier to work in and the "difficult" workmates became tame pussycats!! I planned my own birthday celebrations (pole dancing followed by dinner and belly dancing!) and let go of the "I wonder if anyone is going to show up" and I had the best time ever and lots of friends showed up. In the past, most bailed at the last minute. Fun is contaigious!!
I was notified last Friday that I was successful in getting the promotion I applied for. I found out I came top of 10 people who applied and I spent yesterday in at the new job getting a hand-over from the lady who is leaving. I didn't panic (old pattern), didn't take it too seriously, I was just me being me enjoying myself and looking for how to do it with fun. I had a ball! I don't feel anxious about it now. I wont worry all night and get no sleep. I had fun, and will have fun because that is how I want things to be.
I'm finding I spend less energy debating decisions at the moment. I used to not make any because it took so long for me to make up my mind that I usually didn't make it up fast enough and would miss out, or I wouldn't do anything because I had talked myself out of it!!
My computer suddenly wouldn't let me access my emails. I spent over 2 hours over 2 nights trying to get to the bottom of the problem (unpaid bill from over 12 months ago I knew nothing about) to getting it fixed (it's paid now, how can I get you to turn on what you just turned off). I had been told 5 times that it was impossible for me to have my email back because it is impossible to have a cable internet account (mine) accessed through an ADSL line (mums where I am living) despite the fact that it was working that way for the last 6 months! I actually had fun with this process. I loved telling people that yes, it can be done, because it had been done!!
I'm finding so many people these days are so stuck inside their limiting beliefs that they cannot handle someone else doing something that may disprove their belief. I'm having fun busting out of mine! I celebrated my birthday for nearly a week!
I guess what I'm asking you to think about is what are your values? Most people don't know. If you do, and use them in decision making, it can really enhance what you do and gives more satisfaction with the journey.
I'm rambling again! I'm having fun listening to the sound of my new acrylic fingernails (a birthday present) hitting the keyboard! I'm still not used to them!
I hope things are going well for you and I'll talk with you soon
Love, Light and Laughter to you!
Jacque
