How to know it's time to monetize the fire
My accountant was anxious.
"Do you want to mortgage your house to pay this?" he urged. "Do you want to do something even more drastic?"
No, I'll just pay it.
"Should I set up a payment plan and go to the mat with them to avoid action on their part?"
No, I will just send them all the money.
So after a bit of action the project worked. It was lovingly created and it gave such profound benefit to the people who attended that everybody won. Creating versus reacting. Reacting never wins.
But is that true?
Sometimes reacting does win out, in a way, because reacting takes over when I forget to create. I forget to shift, and the gears grind and the engine howls, and the car catches fire in the driving rain as I spin out on the road into the canyon. Laurel Canyon! How did I get here, anyway?
(By reacting. By not creating.)
(Laurel Canyon was where Crosby Stills & Nash sang together for the first time in Mama Cass Elliot's living room; where Joni Mitchell wrote her masterpiece "Ladies of the Canyon" and Nash wrote the CSNY classic "Our House"; where Frank Zappa held court in a log cabin and Jackson Browne slept in the laundry room of a benefactor; and where Byrds, Turtles, Animals, Steppenwolves and Doors shifted the mind of popular music worldwide. All this and more in Michael Walker's delightful book, Laurel Canyon.)
So it's my life's work to teach people shifting lessons, the same way my coach and music teacher teach them to me. The mind that is open will then shift. That fire in you just burns the mental gearbox down when you don't shift. You can take your begging bowl to every institution in society, or you can find the fire within and turn it into loving individual service that pays you for delivering it so creatively.

Each day we demand more from society so that we can demand less from ourselves (Don Colacho's Aphorisms).

But if you find you ARE ALIVE then the job is to C A T C H F I R E:
. . .and learn How to MOTIVATE YOURSELF, to turn up the flame on your BURNING DESIRE, light up the night and monetize the FIRE.
